Comprehensive transcriptome analysis of osteoclasts with the SIK3 deletion and pterosin B treatment.

ABSTRACT: Maintenance of bone homeostasis and the balance between bone resorption and formation are crucial for maintaining skeletal integrity. Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption and play a vital role in this process. The role of salt-inducible kinase 3 (SIK3) in osteoclast differentiation and maturation and its potential as a therapeutic target for osteoporosis remain poorly understood. Here, we generated osteoclast-specific Sik3 conditional knockout (cKO) mice and investigated the effects of SIK3 deletion on bone homeostasis. Our findings revealed increased bone mineral density and an osteopetrosis phenotype in Sik3 cKO mice, indicating the involvement of SIK3 in bone resorption. Furthermore, we examined the effect of pterosin B, an SIK3 inhibitor, on osteoclast differentiation. Pterosin B treatment inhibits osteoclast differentiation in vitro, reduces the number of multinucleated osteoclasts, and suppresses bone resorption. Therefore, in this study, to better understand the molecular mechanism of SIK3 in osteoclast differentiation and maturation, we performed gene expression profiling of bone marrow monocytes from SIK3 deletion and pterosin B treated mice using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).

Project description:Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells specialized in degrading the mineralized bone matrix. Osteoclast differentiation and function are tightly regulated, to prevent excessive or insufficient bone resorption. Several control mechanisms participate in modulating osteoclastogenesis, and an increasing number of reports describe the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in this process. Disrupting the expression of specific miRNAs can result in alterations of osteoclast formation and bone homeostasis. We and others have previously characterized 9 miRNAs whose levels change during osteoclast differentiation, and identified some of the target genes that mediate their function. However, little is known about changes in the miRNA expression profile during osteoclastogenesis. In this study, we isolated a murine primary bone marrow population enriched for osteoclast precursors, and used the Agilent microarray platform to analyze the expression of mature miRNAs after 1, 3, and 5 days of RANKL-driven differentiation. 93 miRNAs showed greater than 2 fold-change during these early, middle, and late stages of osteoclastogenesis. Many of these miRNAs were detected for the first time in osteoclasts, and we validated the expression of selected miRNAs by quantitative RT-PCR. We identified clusters of differentially expressed miRNAs, and performed computational analyses to predict functional pathways that may be regulated by these miRNAs. Several miRNAs were predicted to regulate genes involved in cytoskeletal remodeling, a crucial mechanism for the migration of osteoclast precursors, their maturation, and bone resorbing activity. Our results suggest that clusters of miRNAs differentially expressed during the course of osteoclastogenesis converge on the regulation of several key functional pathways. Overall, this study identified miRNAs expressed during early, middle and late osteoclastogenesis, contributing to understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating this complex differentiation process. Mouse primary bone marrow cultures were enriched for osteoclast precursors by depletion of B220/CD45R+ and CD3+ cells (B and T lymphocytes, respectively). Cells were differentiated with M-CSF and RANKL, and miRNA expression was analyzed at days 1, 3, and 5. Four biological replicates for each time point were used.
