Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common chronic bone metabolism disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and reduced bone density in the bone tissue. Osteoporosis can lead to increased fragility of the skeleton, making it prone to brittle fractures. Osteoclasts are macrophage-like cells derived from hematopoietic stem cells, and their excessive activity in bone resorption leads to lower bone formation than absorption during bone remodeling, which is one of the important factors inducing osteoporosis. Therefore, how to inhibit osteoclast formation and reducing bone loss is an important direction for treating osteoporosis. Sophoraflavanone G, derived from Sophora flavescens Alt and Rhizoma Drynariae, is a flavonoid compound with various biological activities. However, there have been few studies on osteoporosis and osteoclasts so far. Therefore, we hypothesize that genistein G can inhibit osteoclast differentiation, alleviate bone loss phenomenon, and conduct in vitro and in vivo experiments for research and verification purposes.

Lee YJ, Ahn JC, Oh CH. Oxyresveratrol attenuates bone resorption by inhibiting the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway in ovariectomized rats. Nutr Metab (Lond) 2024; 21:7. [PMID: 38243227 PMCID: PMC10799353 DOI: 10.1186/s12986-024-00781-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone is continuously produced by osteoblasts and resorbed by osteoclasts to maintain homeostasis. Impaired bone resorption by osteoclasts causes bone diseases such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Most pharmacological treatment of osteoporosis focuses on inhibiting osteoclast differentiation, often to restore osteoclast/osteoclast balance. However, recent osteoporosis treatments have various side effects. According to a recent study, resveratrol, known as a stilbenoid family, is known to increase bone density, and the osteoclast inhibitory effect was confirmed using oxyresveratrol, a stilbenoid family. Here, we investigated the effect of oxyresveratrol on osteoclast differentiation and an ovariectomized mouse model. METHODS Mouse leukemia monocyte/macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 was treated with oxyresveratrol, and cell cytotoxicity was confirmed by measuring MTT assay. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), an enzyme marker for osteoclasts, was confirmed by staining. In addition, osteoclast differentiation markers and MAPK-related markers were confirmed at the mRNA level and protein expression. The effect of oxyresveratrol was confirmed using ovariectomized mice. Deoxypyridinoline (DPD) was measured using mouse urine and TRAP activity was observed using serum. Bone mineral density was also measured using Micro-CT. RESULTS The polyphenol oxyresveratrol inhibited receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation of RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, oxyresveratrol inhibited TRAP activity and actin-ring formation. Moreover, oxyresveratrol suppressed the phosphorylation of the RANKL-induced mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) p38, JNK, and ERK and significantly reduced the expression of bone differentiation markers (NFATc1, cathepsin K, and TRAP). CONCLUSION Oxyresveratrol inhibits osteoclast differentiation via MAPK and increases bone density in ovariectomized rats, suggesting it has therapeutic potential for bone diseases such as osteoporosis. We confirmed the osteoporosis prevention effect of OR in Raw 264.7 cells, and future studies should confirm the effect of OR using rat bone marrow-derived cells.

Abstract
Bone homeostasis is regulated by the balanced actions of osteoblasts that form the bone and osteoclasts (OCs) that resorb the bone. Bone-resorbing OCs are differentiated from hematopoietic monocyte/macrophage lineage cells, whereas osteoblasts are derived from mesenchymal progenitors. OC differentiation is induced by two key cytokines, macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), a factor essential for the proliferation and survival of the OCs, and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL), a factor for responsible for the differentiation of the OCs. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), including extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinases, play an essential role in regulating the proliferation, differentiation, and function of OCs. ERKs have been known to play a critical role in the differentiation and activation of OCs. In most cases, ERKs positively regulate OC differentiation and function. However, several reports present conflicting conclusions. Interestingly, the inhibition of OC differentiation by ERK1/2 is observed only in OCs differentiated from RAW 264.7 cells. Therefore, in this review, we summarize the current understanding of the conflicting actions of ERK1/2 in OC differentiation.

Abstract
Inhibition of extensive osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption is considered a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of osteoporosis. Isobavachalcone (IBC) is derived from the traditional Chinese herb Psoralea corylifolia Linn. We showed that IBC dose-dependently suppressed receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis in bone marrow monocyte/macrophage (BMMs) and osteoclastic bone-resorption function without cytotoxicity at a dose of no more than 8 µmin vitro. Mechanistically, the results of western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) indicated that IBC inhibited the RANKL-induced degradation of IκBα and phosphorylation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in BMMs, and subsequently downregulated the expression of osteoclastic-specific genes and osteoclastogenesis-related proteins. TRAP staining and qRT-PCR showed that IBC can inhibit osteoclast differentiation by down-regulating the expression of miR-193-3p on osteoclast differentiation. Overall, our findings suggest that IBC may serve as a promising compound for the treatment of osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases.

Abstract
Osteogenesis is tightly correlated with angiogenesis during the process of bone development, regeneration, and remodeling. In addition to providing nutrients and oxygen for bone tissue, blood vessels around bone tissue also secrete some factors to regulate bone formation. Type H vessels which were regulated by platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) were confirmed to couple angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Recently, preosteoclasts have been identified as the most important source of PDGF-BB. Therefore, inhibiting osteoclast maturation, improving PDGF-BB secretion, stimulating type H angiogenesis, and subsequently accelerating bone regeneration may be potent treatments for bone loss disease. In the present study, aucubin, an iridoid glycoside extracted from Aucuba japonica and Eucommia ulmoides, was found to inhibit bone loss in ovariectomized mice. We further confirmed that aucubin could inhibit the fusion of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)+ preosteoclasts into mature osteoclasts and indirectly increasing angiogenesis of type H vessel. The underlying mechanism is the aucubin-induced inhibition of MAPK/NF-κB signaling, which increases the preosteoclast number and subsequently promotes angiogenesis via PDGF-BB. These results prompted that aucubin could be an antiosteoporosis drug candidate, which needs further research.

Abstract
Osteoclasts (OCs) are multinucleated cells that play a major role in osteolytic diseases such as osteoporosis. Monascin (Ms) is one of the active substances in the traditional Chinese medicine red yeast rice. Studies have found that red yeast rice can maintain bone health. In this study, the anti-osteoclastogenesis effects of Ms on RANKL-induced RAW264.7 cells were assessed, and the underlying mechanism was investigated. Ms exhibited inhibitory effects on OC differentiation and formation in a dose-dependent manner and suppressed the bone-resorbing activity of mature OCs. Ms blocked OCs-typical genes (c-Fos, NFATc1, CSTK, MMP-9, TRAP, ITG-β3, OSCAR and DC-STAMP). Furthermore, Ms treatment considerably inhibited the activation of MAPKs, JNK and p38. Taken together, Ms suppresses RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis of RAW264.7 cells by restraining MAPKs signaling pathways and is a potential therapeutic option as a novel OC inhibitor to mitigate bone erosion.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common bone disease, particularly in menopausal women. Herein, we screened four Kampo medicines (Unkeito (UKT), Kamishoyosan (KSS), Kamikihito (KKT), and Ninjinyoeito (NYT)), frequently used to treat menopausal syndromes, for their effects on receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation in RAW 264 cells. Considering that UKT exhibited the most potent effect, we examined its effect on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis, the induction of osteoclast apoptosis, and the mechanisms underlying its effects. UKT inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation in the early stage and decreases osteoclast-related genes, including tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (Trap), dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (Dcstamp), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (Mmp9), and cathepsin K (Ctsk). Specifically, UKT inhibits the nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1), which is essential for osteoclastogenesis. UKT increases Bcl6, which antagonizes NFATc1 and Dc-stamp, thereby blocking the progression of osteoclasts to maturation. UKT also decreased nuclear translocation by downregulating the activity of p65/NF-κB. In addition, UKT enhances mononuclear osteoclast apoptosis via activation of caspase-3. Herein, we demonstrate that UKT suppresses RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis via the Blimp1–Bcl6 and NF-κB signaling pathways and enhances mononuclear osteoclast apoptosis. Furthermore, UKT prevents bone loss in OVX mice. Thus, UKT might be a potential therapeutic agent for postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is an important lipid mediator that regulates a diverse range of intracellular cell signaling pathways that are relevant to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, the precise function of S1P in dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and its osteogenic differentiation remains unclear. We here investigated the function of S1P/S1P receptor (S1PR)-mediated cellular signaling in the osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs and clarified the fundamental signaling pathway. Our results showed that S1P-treated DPSCs exhibited a low rate of differentiation toward the osteogenic phenotype in association with a marked reduction in osteogenesis-related gene expression and AKT activation. Of note, both S1PR1/S1PR3 and S1PR2 agonists significantly downregulated the expression of osteogenic genes and suppressed AKT activation, resulting in an attenuated osteogenic capacity of DPSCs. Most importantly, an AKT activator completely abrogated the S1P-mediated downregulation of osteoblastic markers and partially prevented S1P-mediated attenuation effects during osteogenesis. Intriguingly, the pro-inflammatory TNF-α cytokine promoted the infiltration of macrophages toward DPSCs and induced S1P production in both DPSCs and macrophages. Our findings indicate that the elevation of S1P under inflammatory conditions suppresses the osteogenic capacity of the DPSCs responsible for regenerative endodontics.

Abstract
Craniosynostosis is one of the most common craniofacial deformities demanding surgical treatment in infancy. LncRNA HOTAIR has verified its important role in osteogenesis and osteoarthritis. However, whether HOTAIR plays an essential role in the development of craniosynostosis is still unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the molecular role of HOTAIR in the osteoclast function and development of craniosynostosis.For osteoclast differentiation, RAW264.7 cells were induced by 50 ng/ml of RANKL and 10 ng/mL M-CSF, followed by TRAP staining. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were assayed by the CCK-8 kit and Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection kit, respectively. The expression of HOTAIR was determined in PBMCs by qRT-PCR. Protein levels of all those involved genes were measured by Western blot assay. A luciferase reporter assay was used to determine the miRNA target validation. The HOTAIR expression in PBMCs from children with craniosynostosis was significantly downregulated. The results of cell proliferation and apoptosis assays indicated that silencing of HOTAIR could inhibit osteoclast differentiation and increase cell apoptosis. Moreover, the luciferase reporter assay revealed that the regulatory axis and HOTAIR-miR-152-CAMKIIα were the regulatory mechanisms of HOTAIR in the osteoclast function and development of craniosynostosis.In this study, our data showed that HOTAIR could promote osteoclast differentiation by binding miR-152. Furthermore, the HOTAIR/HOTAIR-miR-152-CAMKIIα axis was found to regulate osteoclast differentiation. These results indicate that the HOTAIR plays a crucial role in the development of osteoclasts.

Farnesoid X receptor agonist attenuates subchondral bone osteoclast fusion and osteochondral pathologies of osteoarthritis via suppressing JNK1/2/NFATc1 pathway. FASEB J 2022; 36:e22243. [PMID: 35224782 DOI: 10.1096/fj.202101717r] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2021] [Revised: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative disease of the joint, featured by articular cartilage destruction and subchondral bone marrow lesions. Articular cartilage and subchondral bone constitute an osteochondral unit that guarantees joint homeostasis. During OA initiation, activated osteoclasts in subchondral bone ultimately result in impaired capacities of the subchondral bone in response to mechanical stress, followed by the degradation of overlying articular cartilage. Thus, targeting osteoclasts could be a potential therapeutic option for treating OA. Here, we observed that farnesoid X receptor (FXR) expression and osteoclast fusion and activity in subchondral bone were concomitantly changed during early-stage OA in the OA mouse model established by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT). Then, we explored the therapeutic effects of FXR agonist GW4064 on the osteochondral pathologies in ACLT mice. We showed that GW4064 obviously ameliorated subchondral bone deterioration, associated with reduction in tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) positive multinuclear osteoclast number, as well as articular cartilage degradation, which were blocked by the treatment with FXR antagonist Guggulsterone. Mechanistically, GW4064 impeded osteoclastogenesis through inhibiting subchondral bone osteoclast fusion via suppressing c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) 1/2/nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1 (NFATc1) pathway. Taken together, our results present evidence for the protective effects of GW4064 against OA by blunting osteoclast-mediated aberrant subchondral bone loss and subsequent cartilage deterioration. Therefore, GW4064 demonstrates the potential as an alternative therapeutic option against OA for further drug development.

[PMID: 35211021 PMCID: PMC8861314 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.829741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2021] [Accepted: 01/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoporosis is a condition associated with osteolytic bone disease that is primarily characterized by inordinate osteoclast activation. Protein kinase B (Akt) pathways activated by receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) are essential for osteoclastogenesis. Asiatic acid (AA) is a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid compound extracted from a traditional Chinese herb that exhibits a wide range of biological activities. AA has been found to alleviate the hypertrophic and fibrotic phenotype of chondrocytes via the Akt signaling pathway. In this study, we investigated whether AA alleviated bone loss by inhibiting the Akt signaling pathway during osteoclastogenesis and its effect on osteoblasts. The effect of AA cytotoxicity on mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages/monocytes (BMMs) was evaluated in vitro using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. The effects of AA on osteoclast differentiation and function were detected using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and a pit formation assay. A Western blot and qRT-PCR were conducted to evaluate the expression of osteoclast-specific genes and protein signaling molecules. In addition, alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red staining were performed to assess osteoblast differentiation and mineralization. The bone protective effect of AA was investigated in vivo using ovariectomized mice. we found that AA could dose-dependently inhibit RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. Moreover, the pit formation assay revealed that osteoclast function was suppressed by treatment with AA. Moreover, the expression of osteoclast-specific genes was found to be substantially decreased during osteoclastogenesis. Analysis of the molecular mechanisms showed that AA could inhibit NF-kappaB/MAPK/Akt signaling pathway, as well as the downstream factors of NFATc1 in the osteoclast signaling pathway activated by RANKL. However, AA did not significantly promote osteoblast differentiation and mineralization. The in vivo experiments suggested that AA could alleviate ovariectomy-induced bone loss in ovariectomized mice. Our results demonstrate that AA can inhibit osteoclastogenesis and prevent ovariectomy-induced bone loss by inhibiting the NF-kappaB/MAPK/Akt signaling pathway. The discovery of the new molecular mechanism that AA inhibits osteoclastogenesis provides essential evidence to support the use of AA as a potential drug for the treatment of osteoclast-related diseases.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is the most common form of secondary osteoporosis, which is caused by a disorder in bone metabolism due to excessive activation of osteoclasts. Bushen Huoxue decoction (BHD) is an herbal formula with multiple pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activity and stem cell migration promotion. However, the effect of BHD on osteoclastogenesis has not been reported. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the effect of BHD on RANKL-stimulated osteoclastogenesis and explored its underlying mechanisms of action in vitro. Our results show that BHD had no effect on BMMs and RAW264.7 cells viability, but inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast formation in vitro. Furthermore, BHD attenuated RANKL-induced NF-κB, ERK, and JNK signaling. The attenuation of NF-κB, ERK, and JNK activation were enough to impede downstream expression of c-fos and NFATc1 and related specific genes. Meanwhile, we investigated the therapeutic effect of BHD on glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) mice. The result indicated that BHD prevents glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis and preserves bone volume by repressing osteoclast activity. Collectively, BHD shows significant osteoclast inhibition and holds great promise in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Background Osteoclasts are the major players in bone resorption and have always been studied in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Previous studies have confirmed that a variety of flavonoids inhibit osteoporosis and improve bone health mainly through inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. Oroxin B (OB) is a flavonoid compound extracted from traditional Chinese herbal medicine Oroxylum indicum (L.) Vent, exerts potent antitumor and anti-inflammation effect, but its effect on osteoclastogensis remains unknown. Methods We comprehensively evaluated the effect of OB on the formation and function of osteoclasts and the underling mechanism by bone marrow-derived macrophage in vitro. In vivo, we used mice ovariectomized model to verify the protective effect of OB. Results OB was found to inhibit osteoclast formation and bone resorption function in vitro, in a dose-dependent manner and the increased osteoclastic-related genes induced by RANKL (NFATc1, c-fos, cathepsin K, RANK, MMP9 and TRAP) were also attenuated following OB treatment. Mechanistical investigation showed OB abrogated the increased phosphorylation level of MAPK and NF-κB pathway, and diminished the expression of the vital transcription factors for osteoclastogenesis. OB also prevented ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone loss by inhibiting osteoclast formation and activity in mice. Conclusion Our study demonstrated that OB may act as an anti-osteoporosis agent by inhibiting osteoclast maturation and attenuating bone resorption.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a disease, which causes huge economic and social burden. Using natural compound to treat such disease is beneficial for the fewer side effects and effectiveness. D-(-)-salicin (DSA) is a component extracted from the bark of Populus and Salix species. In our research, we discovered that DSA suppressed RANKL-induced differentiation of osteoclast in vitro in a dose-dependent manner. It was also found that the mineral resorbing activity by osteoclasts was depressed via DSA. For the mechanism, we confirmed the inhibitory effect, by which DSA suppressed osteoclast formation and function, was through the inhibition of ROS signaling, MAPK and NF-κB cascades. DSA also suppressed the expression and activity of NFATc1. Therefore, by inhibiting the ROS production, MAPK and NF-κB signal cascade, DSA inhibited the osteoclast differentiation and function in vitro.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests bright prospects of some natural antioxidants in the treatment of osteoporosis. 6'-O-Galloylpaeoniflorin (GPF), an antioxidant isolated from peony roots (one of very widely used Oriental medicines, with various anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and antioxidant activities), shows a series of potential clinical applications. However, its effects on osteoporosis remain poorly investigated. The current study aimed to explore whether GPF can attenuate osteoclastogenesis and relieve ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis via attenuating reactive oxygen species (ROS), and investigate the possible mechanism. After the culture of primary murine bone marrow-derived macrophages/monocytes were induced by the use of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and the receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and then treated with GPF. Cell proliferation and viability were assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Thereafter, the role of GPF in the production of osteoclasts and the osteogenic resorption of mature osteoclasts were evaluated by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, podosome belt formation, and resorption pit assay. Western blotting and qRT-PCR examination were performed to evaluate proteins' generation and osteoclast-specific gene levels, respectively. The ROS generation in cells was measured in vitro by 2',7'-Dichlorodi-hydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA). Ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis mouse administered with GPF or vehicle was performed to explore the in vivo potential of GPF, then a micro-CT scan was performed in combination with histological examination for further analysis. GPF suppressed the formation of osteoclasts and podosome belts, as well as bone resorption when induced by RANKL through affecting intracellular ROS activity, MAPKs signaling pathway, and subsequent NFATc1 translocation and expression, as well as osteoclast-specific gene expression in vitro. In vivo study suggested that exposure to GPF prevented osteoporosis-related bone loss in the ovariectomized mice. These findings indicate that GPF attenuates osteoclastogenesis and relieves ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis by inhibiting ROS and MAPKs/c-Fos/NFATc1 signaling pathway. This suggested that GPF may be potentially used to treat bone diseases like periodontitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis associated with osteoclasts.

Abstract
Objectives Calcium ion signals are important for osteoclast differentiation. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 6 (TRPV6) is a regulator of bone homeostasis. However, it was unclear whether TRPV6 was involved in osteoclast formation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the role of TPRV6 in bone metabolism and to clarify its regulatory role in osteoclasts at the cellular level. Materials and methods Bone structure and histological changes in Trpv6 knockout mice were examined using micro‐computed tomography and histological analyses. To investigate the effects of Trpv6 on osteoclast function, we silenced or overexpressed Trpv6 in osteoclasts via lentivirus transfection, respectively. Osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption viability were measured by tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and pit formation assays. The expression of osteoclast marker genes, including cathepsin k, DC‐STAMP, Atp6v0d2 and TRAP, was measured by qRT‐PCR. Cell immunofluorescence and Western blotting were applied to explore the mechanisms by which the IGF‐PI3K‐AKT pathway was involved in the regulation of osteoclast formation and bone resorption by Trpv6. Results We found that knockout of Trpv6 induced osteoporosis and enhanced bone resorption in mice, but did not affect bone formation. Further studies showed that Trpv6, which was distributed on the cell membrane of osteoclasts, acted as a negative regulator for osteoclast differentiation and function. Mechanistically, Trpv6 suppressed osteoclastogenesis by decreasing the ratios of phosphoprotein/total protein in the IGF–PI3K–AKT signalling pathway. Blocking of the IGF–PI3K–AKT pathway significantly alleviated the inhibitory effect of Trpv6 on osteoclasts formation. Conclusions Our study confirmed the important role of Trpv6 in bone metabolism and clarified its regulatory role in osteoclasts at the cellular level. Taken together, this study may inspire a new strategy for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common chronic immune joint diseases, mainly involving blood vessels and small joints. The complex pathogenesis of RA greatly increases the difficulty of treatment. At present, the common hormone and immunosuppressive therapy are not effective, while low‐dose interleukin‐2 (IL‐2) recently has been found to possess some advantages for immunotherapy. However, its related signal pathway remains to be elucidated. Methods We fabricated the model of arthritis in mice, and then low‐dose IL‐2 was injected at a fixed time point to observe the changes of related vascular and organ pathology, inflammatory factors, and signal pathway proteins, which were verified by statistical analysis. Results Low dose IL‐2 can reduce the severity of vascular and bone lesions in collagen‐induced arthritis immune model, and inhibit osteoclast formation in vitro by phosphorylation of nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB), which inhibits the receptor activator of NF‐κB ligand effect through c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase (JNK) pathway, and its immunotherapeutic effect depends on the activation of JNK. Conclusion It is the first time for us to prove that low dose IL‐2 can inhibit osteoclast formation in collagen‐induced arthritis through the JNK dependent pathway, which will provide the angle and theoretical basis for future immunotherapy of IL‐2.

Abstract
Bone disorders such as osteoporosis, Paget's disease of the bone, osteogenesis imperfecta, are caused by the uncoordinated action of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and suppressing the resorptive function of osteoclasts might become a gold standard strategy for treating this kind of disease. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and its receptor agonist have been reported to have protective effects on bone. Little is known about the effect of GLP-1 on osteoclasts. Therefore, we investigated the effects of liraglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, on murine bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMM) and RAW264.7 preosteoclast differentiation and explored the potential cellular basis of its action. In this study, we confirmed the presence of GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) on BMMs and RAW264.7 cells and demonstrated that GLP-1R might be important for osteoclastogenesis by increasing the expression of osteoclastogenic biomarkers after GLP-1R knockdown. In addition, we found that liraglutide treatment of both BMMs and RAW264.7 cells could inhibit osteoclast formation and bone resorption. Mechanistically, Western blotting and RT-PCR showed that liraglutide inhibited the NF-κB and MAPK signalling pathways, ultimately inhibiting the expression of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFATc1). In addition, knocking down GLP-1R reversed the inhibitory effect of liraglutide on NF-κB/MAPK-NFATc1. Overall, these results indicated a potential therapeutic effect of liraglutide on bone disorders.

Betulinic Acid Protects From Bone Loss in Ovariectomized Mice and Suppresses RANKL-Associated Osteoclastogenesis by Inhibiting the MAPK and NFATc1 Pathways. Front Pharmacol 2020; 11:1025. [PMID: 32733253 PMCID: PMC7358641 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2020.01025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2020] [Accepted: 06/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteoclasts with elevated bone resorption are commonly present in postmenopausal osteoporosis, and other osteolytic pathologies. Therefore, suppressing osteoclast generation and function has been the main focus of osteoporosis treatment. Betulinic acid (BA) represents a triterpenoid mainly purified from the bark of Betulaceae. BA shows multiple biological activities, including antitumor and anti-HIV properties, but its effect on osteolytic conditions is unknown. Here, BA suppressed receptor activator of nuclear factor‐κB ligand (RANKL)‐associated osteoclastogenesis and bone resorptive function, as assessed by tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, fibrous actin ring generation, and hydroxyapatite resorption assays. Mechanistically, BA downregulated the expression of osteoclastic-specific genes. Western blot analysis revealed that BA significantly interrupted ERK, JNK and p38 MAPK activation as well as intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, thus altering c-Fos and NFATc1 activation. Corroborating the above findings in cell-based assays, BA prevented ovariectomy-associated bone loss in an animal model. In conclusion, these findings suggest that BA can inhibit osteoclast generation and function as well as the RANKL signaling pathway, and might be used for treating osteoclast-related osteoporosis.

Abstract
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CaMKs) are a group of important molecules mediating calcium signal transmission and have been proved to participate in osteoclastogenesis regulation. CaMKII, a subtype of CaMKs is expressed during osteoclast differentiation, but its role in osteoclastogenesis regulation remains controversial. In the present study, we identified that both mRNA and protein levels of CaMKII (δ) were upregulated in a time-dependent manner during osteoclast differentiation. CaMKII (δ) gene silencing significantly inhibited osteoclast formation, bone resorption, and expression of osteoclast-related genes, including nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), and c-Src. Furthermore, CaMKII (δ) gene silencing downregulated phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), including JNK, ERK, and p38, which were transiently activated by RANKL. Specific inhibitors of ERK, JNK, and p38 also markedly inhibited expression of osteoclast-related genes, osteoclast formation, and bone resorption like CaMKII (δ) gene silencing. Additionally, CaMKII (δ) gene silencing also suppressed RANKL-triggered CREB phosphorylation. Collectively, these data demonstrate the important role of CaMKII (δ) in osteoclastogenesis regulation through JNK, ERK, and p38 MAPKs and CREB pathway.

Abstract
As the sole cell type responsible for bone resorption, osteoclasts play a pivotal role in a variety of lytic bone diseases. Suppression of osteoclast formation and activation has been proposed as an effective protective therapy for new bone. In this study, we reported for the first time that phillyrin (Phil), an active ingredient extracted from forsythia, significantly inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in vitro and protected against lipopolysaccharide-induced osteolysis in vivo. Further molecular investigations demonstrated that Phil effectively blocked RANKL-induced activations of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase, which suppressed the expression of c-Fos and nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 1. Taken together, these data suggested that Phil might be a potential antiosteoclastogenesis agent for treating osteoclast-related bone lytic diseases.

Abstract
Bone homeostasis is strictly regulated by balanced activity of bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts.Disruption of the balance of activity between osteoblasts and osteoclasts leads to various metabolic bone diseases. Osteoclasts are cells of hematopoietic origin that they are large, multinucleated cells formed by the fusion of precursor cells of monocyte/macrophage lineage, they are unique cells that degrade the bone matrix, activation of transcription factors nuclear factoractivated T cells c1 (NFATc1) is required for sufficient osteoclast differentiation and it plays the role of a master transcription regulator of osteoclast differentiation, meanwhile, NFATc1 could be employed to elicit anabolic effects on bone. In this review, we have summarized the various mechanisms that control NFATc1 regulation during osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation as well as a new strategy for promoting bone regeneration in osteopenic disease.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia induces osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption through complicated, undefined mechanisms. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) promotes osteoclastogenesis, and could be activated by hyperglycemia. Here, we investigated whether CaMKII is involved in hyperglycemia-induced osteoclastogenesis and subsequent bone resorption. Osteoclast formation, bone resorption, CaMKII expression and phosphorylation were measured under high glucose in vitro and in streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia rats with or without CaMKII inhibitor KN93. The results showed that 25 mmol/L high glucose in vitro promoted cathepsin K and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase expression (p < 0.05) and osteoclast formation (p < 0.01) associated with enhancing β isoform expression (p < 0.05) and CaMKII phosphorylation (p < 0.001). Hyperglycemia promoted the formation of osteoclasts and resorption of trabecular and alveolar bone, and inhibited sizes of femur and mandible associated with enhanced CaMKII phosphorylation (p < 0.001) in rats. All these changes could be alleviated by KN93. These findings imply that CaMKII participates not only in hyperglycemia-induced osteoclastogenesis and subsequent bone resorption, but also in the hyperglycemia-induced developmental inhibition of bone.

Abstract
Bone undergoes continuous remodeling, which is homeostatically regulated by concerted communication between bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-degrading osteoclasts. Multinucleated giant osteoclasts are the only specialized cells that degrade or resorb the organic and inorganic bone components. They secrete proteases (e.g., cathepsin K) that degrade the organic collagenous matrix and establish localized acidosis at the bone-resorbing site through proton-pumping to facilitate the dissolution of inorganic mineral. Osteoporosis, the most common bone disease, is caused by excessive bone resorption, highlighting the crucial role of osteoclasts in intact bone remodeling. Signaling mediated by mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), including extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38, has been recognized to be critical for normal osteoclast differentiation and activation. Various exogenous (e.g., toll-like receptor agonists) and endogenous (e.g., growth factors and inflammatory cytokines) stimuli contribute to determining whether MAPKs positively or negatively regulate osteoclast adhesion, migration, fusion and survival, and osteoclastic bone resorption. In this review, we delineate the unique roles of MAPKs in osteoclast metabolism and provide an overview of the upstream regulators that activate or inhibit MAPKs and their downstream targets. Furthermore, we discuss the current knowledge about the differential kinetics of ERK, JNK, and p38, and the crosstalk between MAPKs in osteoclast metabolism.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of the Ca2+/calmodulin‑dependent protein kinase pathway inhibitor KN93 on osteoclastogenesis. RAW264.7 cells were incubated with macrophage colony‑stimulating factor (M‑CSF) + receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa‑light‑chain‑enhancer of activated B cells ligand (RANKL) to stimulate osteoclastogenesis and then treated with 10 µM KN93. The methods included tartrate‑resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, bone resorption activity assays, filamentous (F)‑actin staining, determination of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) levels, monitoring of osteoclast‑specific gene expression levels and measurement of key transcription factors protein levels. The results suggested that KN93 inhibited the formation of TRAP‑positive multinucleated cells, shaping of F‑actin rings and resorption activity of the cells. In addition, KN93 decreased the concentration of [Ca2+]i, expression levels of osteoclast specific genes and protein levels of critical transcription factors in the M‑CSF + RANKL‑induced osteoclast model. In summary, KN93 may directly affect the differentiation and activation of osteoclasts, potentially through the Ca2+/calmodulin‑dependent protein kinase signaling pathway.

Oncotarget 2017; 8:76558-76573.

Abstract
Farnesoid X receptor (FXR, NR1H4) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors. Since the role of FXR in osteoclast differentiation remains ill-defined, we investigated the biological function of FXR on osteoclastogenesis, using FXR-deficient mice. We demonstrated that FXR deficiency increases osteoclast formation in vitro and in vivo. First, FXR deficiency was found to accelerate osteoclast formation via down-regulation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) 1/2 expression. Increased expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 (PGC-1)β seems to mediate the pro-osteoclastogenic effect of FXR deficiency via the JNK pathway. In addition, we found that FXR deficiency downregulated the expression of interferon-β (IFN-β), a strong inhibitor of osteoclastogenesis, via receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL). We further suggested that interference of IFN-β expression by FXR deficiency impaired the downstream JAK3-STAT1 signaling pathways, which in turn increased osteoclast formation. Finally, FXR deficiency accelerated unloading- or ovariectomy-induced bone loss in vivo. Thus, our findings demonstrate that FXR is a negative modulator in osteoclast differentiation and identify FXR as a potential therapeutic target for postmenopausal osteoporosis and unloading-induced bone loss.

Abstract
Macrophages are found in all tissues and regulate tissue morphogenesis during development through trophic and scavenger functions. The colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) receptor (CSF-1R) is the major regulator of tissue macrophage development and maintenance. In combination with receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK), the CSF-1R also regulates the differentiation of the bone-resorbing osteoclast and controls bone remodeling during embryonic and early postnatal development. CSF-1R-regulated macrophages play trophic and remodeling roles in development. Outside the mononuclear phagocytic system, the CSF-1R directly regulates neuronal survival and differentiation, the development of intestinal Paneth cells and of preimplantation embryos, as well as trophoblast innate immune function. Consistent with the pleiotropic roles of the receptor during development, CSF-1R deficiency in most mouse strains causes embryonic or perinatal death and the surviving mice exhibit multiple developmental and functional deficits. The CSF-1R is activated by two dimeric glycoprotein ligands, CSF-1, and interleukin-34 (IL-34). Homozygous Csf1-null mutations phenocopy most of the deficits of Csf1r-null mice. In contrast, Il34-null mice have no gross phenotype, except for decreased numbers of Langerhans cells and microglia, indicating that CSF-1 plays the major developmental role. Homozygous inactivating mutations of the Csf1r or its ligands have not been reported in man. However, heterozygous inactivating mutations in the Csf1r lead to a dominantly inherited adult-onset progressive dementia, highlighting the importance of CSF-1R signaling in the brain.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Enterococcus faecalis is associated with persistent endodontic infection and refractory apical periodontitis. Recently, we have shown that heat-killed E. faecalis attenuates osteoclast differentiation. Because lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is a major virulence factor of gram-positive bacteria, we investigated the effect of LTA from E. faecalis (EfLTA) on osteoclast differentiation. METHODS EfLTA was purified through organic solvent extraction, hydrophobic interaction column chromatography, and ion exchange column chromatography. Bone marrow cells from C57BL/6 or Toll-like receptor 2-deficient mice were incubated with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) for 5 days to generate macrophages (bone marrow-derived macrophages [BMMs]). The cells were differentiated into osteoclasts with M-CSF and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) in the presence or absence of EfLTA. The degree of osteoclast differentiation was determined by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining. The expression of NFATc1 and c-Fos transcription factors was determined by Western blotting. A phagocytosis assay was performed by measuring the uptake of carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester-stained E. faecalis. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the amount of cytokines and chemokines. RESULTS When BMMs were treated with EfLTA, osteoclast differentiation was attenuated. EfLTA inhibited the RANKL-induced expression of NFATc1 and c-Fos. EfLTA inhibition of osteoclast differentiation was not observed in TLR2-deficient BMMs. In addition, EfLTA sustained the phagocytic capacity of BMMs even after the differentiation into osteoclasts, whereas it induced the expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. CONCLUSIONS EfLTA inhibits the differentiation of macrophages into osteoclasts and thereby maintains the phagocytic and inflammatory capacities of macrophages, potentially contributing to refractory apical periodontitis.

Abstract
KCNK1 (K(+) channel, subfamily K, member 1) is a member of the inwardly rectifying K(+) channel family, which drives the membrane potential towards the K(+) balance potential. Here, we investigated its functional relevance during osteoclast differentiation. KCNK1 was significantly induced during osteoclast differentiation, but its functional overexpression significantly inhibited osteoclast differentiation induced by RANKL (also known as TNFSF11), which was accompanied by the attenuation of the RANKL-induced Ca(2+) oscillation, JNK activation and NFATc1 expression. In contrast, KCNK1 knockdown enhanced the RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation, JNK activation and NFATc1 expression. In conclusion, we suggest that KCNK1 is a negative regulator of osteoclast differentiation; the increase of K(+) influx by its functional blockade might inhibit osteoclast differentiation by inhibiting Ca(2+) oscillation and the JNK-NFATc1 signaling axis. Together with the increased attention on the pharmacological possibilities of using channel inhibition in the treatment of osteoclast-related disorders, further understanding of the functional roles and mechanisms of K(+) channels underlying osteoclast-related diseases could be helpful in developing relevant therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
We have previously shown that the transcription factor FOXO1 is elevated in conditions with high levels of bone resorption. To investigate the role of FOXO1 in the formation of osteoclasts, we examined mice with lineage-specific deletion of FOXO1 in osteoclast precursors and by knockdown of FOXO1 with small interfering RNA. The receptor activator for NF-κB ligand (RANKL), a principal bone-resorbing factor, induced FOXO1 expression and nuclear localization 2 d after stimulation in bone marrow macrophages and RAW264.7 osteoclast precursors. RANKL-induced osteoclast formation and osteoclast activity was reduced in half in vivo and in vitro with lineage-specific FOXO1 deletion (LyzM.Cre(+)FOXO1(L/L)) compared with matched controls (LyzM.Cre(-)FOXO1(L/L)). Similar results were obtained by knockdown of FOXO1 in RAW264.7 cells. Moreover, FOXO1-mediated osteoclast formation was linked to regulation of NFATc1 nuclear localization and expression as well as a number of downstream factors, including dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein, ATP6vod2, cathepsin K, and integrin αv. Lastly, FOXO1 deletion reduced M-CSF-induced RANK expression and migration of osteoclast precursors. In the present study, we provide evidence that FOXO1 plays a direct role in osteoclast formation by mediating the effect of RANKL on NFATc1 and several downstream effectors. This is likely to be significant because FOXO1 and RANKL are elevated in osteolytic conditions.

Abstract
Pentraxin 3 (PTX3), a modulator of tumor-associated inflammation, is known to be positively correlated with tumor grade and severity of malignancies, but its exact role remains unclear. This study found that PTX3 expression was up-regulated in distant bone metastases of breast cancer compared to lung, liver, and brain metastases in 64 human breast cancer patients. Elevated expression of PTX3 was correlated with poor survival in patients with breast cancer. PTX3 expression was also up-regulated in a bone metastatic breast cancer cell line and further enhanced by pro-inflammatory cytokine TNFα. Administration of PTX3 promoted the migratory potential of breast cancer cells and the mobilization of macrophages, a precursor of osteoclasts (OCs), toward breast cancer cells. In addition, elevated expression of PTX3 by TNFα led to enhanced OC formation, implying the distinct role of PTX3 in osteolytic bone metastasis of breast cancer cells. Furthermore, PTX3 silencing using siRNA-specific siRNA prevented breast cancer cell migration, macrophage Chemotaxis, and subsequent OC formation. These findings provide an important insight into the key role of PTX3 in inflammation-associated osteolytic complications of breast cancer.

Abstract
AIMS Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is considered a prominent pathogenic factor in inflammatory bone diseases. LPS challenge contributes to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in diverse inflammatory diseases. However, its mechanism remains to be clarified in bone. Thus, we investigated the critical mechanism of ROS in LPS-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone loss. RESULTS Antioxidant prevented LPS-induced osteoclast formation via inhibition of nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) and c-Fos expression in preosteoclasts. Moreover, LPS-induced osteoclast formation via ROS was attenuated by treatment with c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) inhibitor. Interestingly, LPS also activated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), which is suppressed by antioxidants. We found that knockdown of STAT3 or use of a STAT3 inhibitor resulted in a significant reduction in interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and nitric oxide (NO) production, followed by decreased osteoclast formation by LPS. Peroxiredoxin II (PrxII) is a member of the antioxidant enzyme family, and it plays a protective role against oxidative damage caused by ROS. In our study, ROS production and osteoclast formation by LPS was significantly enhanced in PrxII(-/-) cells. Moreover, JNK-mediated c-Fos and NFATc1 expression was promoted in PrxII(-/-) cells. Furthermore, STAT3 activation and accompanying IL-1β, IL-6, and NO production was also increased in PrxII(-/-) cells. Consistent with the in vitro result, PrxII-deficient mice showed increased osteoclast formation and bone loss by LPS challenge compared with wild-type mice. INNOVATION For the first time, we showed that LPS-induced ROS signaling is dependent on the coordinated mechanism of JNK and STAT3 during osteoclastogenesis, which is negatively regulated by PrxII. CONCLUSION We suggest that PrxII could be useful in the development of a novel target for inflammatory bone loss.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the Ca2+ signaling pathway is involved in the ability of osteoprotegerin (OPG) to inhibit osteoclast differentiation and maturation. RAW264.7 cells were incubated with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) + receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) to stimulate osteoclastogenesis and then treated with different concentrations of OPG, an inhibitor of osteoclast differentiation. The intracellular Ca2+ concentration [Ca2+]i and phosphorylation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in the different treatment groups were measured by flow cytometry and Western blotting, respectively. The results confirmed that M-CSF + RANKL significantly increased [Ca2+]i and CaMKII phosphorylation in osteoclasts (p < 0.01), and that these effects were subsequently decreased by OPG treatment. Exposure to specific inhibitors of the Ca2+ signaling pathway revealed that these changes varied between the different OPG treatment groups. Findings from the present study indicated that the Ca2+ signaling pathway is involved in both the regulation of osteoclastogenesis as well as inhibition of osteoclast differentiation and activation by OPG.

Abstract
Pentraxin-3 (PTX3), also known as tumor necrosis factor-stimulated gene 14 (TSG-14), is produced by immune and vascular cells in response to pro-inflammatory signals and is therefore a multipotent inflammatory mediator. The present study showed that during human osteoblast (OB) differentiation, precursor OBs (pOBs), but not mature OB, highly expressed PTX3. TNFα treatment elevated the PTX3 expression of pOBs. When mice were injected with lipopolysaccharide, which induces an inflammatory osteolytic condition characterized by trabecular bone destruction and high osteoclastogenesis, their bone marrow cells expressed elevated levels of PTX3 protein. Exogenous PTX3 did not directly affect osteoclast (OC) or OB differentiation. However, when pOBs and precursor OCs were co-cultured, exogenous PTX3 significantly increased the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive multinucleated cells (i.e., OC cells) by increasing the pOB mRNA expression and protein secretion of RANK ligand (RANKL). This was accompanied with increased Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) expression in the pOBs. Knock-down of endogenous PTX3 with small-interfering RNA did not change the osteogenic potential of pOBs but suppressed their production of RANKL and reduced osteoclastogenesis. Finally, TNFα treatment of the co-culture elevated PTX3 expression by the pOBs and increased OC formation. This effect was suppressed by PTX3 knock-down by decreasing RANKL expression. Thus, the PTX3-driven increase in the osteoclastogenic potential of pOBs appears to be mediated by the effect of PTX3 on pOB RANKL production. These findings suggest that PTX3 is an inflammatory mediator that contributes to the deteriorating osteolytic condition of inflamed bone. J. Cell.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES IL-34 is a recently identified alternative ligand for colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) receptor. IL-34 and CSF-1 are regulators of differentiation, proliferation, and survival in mononuclear phagocytes. Here, we investigated the IL-34 serum concentration and expression in human adipose tissues and any associations with insulin resistance. METHODS We recruited 19 nondiabetic obese women, 9 type 2 diabetic women, and 27 normal-weight women. Metabolic parameters, abdominal fat distribution, serum IL-34 concentration, and IL-34 mRNA expression were measured in abdominal sc adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). In addition, the expression/secretion and putative effects of IL-34 were assessed in human differentiated adipocytes. Serum IL-34 concentration was measured before and 5 to 9 months after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery was performed on the 20 obese patients. RESULTS Regardless of diabetes status, obese patients demonstrated significantly higher serum IL-34 concentrations than controls. Serum IL-34 was significantly and positively correlated with insulin resistance-related metabolic parameters. IL-34 mRNA was significantly higher in VAT than SAT. IL-34 was expressed in adipocytes as well as nonadipocytes, and expression was significantly higher during adipogenesis. In differentiated adipocytes, the expression/secretion of IL-34 was enhanced by TNFα and IL-1β. In addition, IL-34 augmented fat accumulation and inhibited the stimulatory effects of insulin on glucose transport. Moreover, serum IL-34 was significantly decreased after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass-induced weight loss. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrates, for the first time, that IL-34 is expressed in human adipose tissues and the circulating concentration is significantly elevated in obese patients. This suggests that IL-34 is associated with insulin resistance.

MKP-1 signaling events are required for early osteoclastogenesis in lineage defined progenitor populations by disrupting RANKL-induced NFATc1 nuclear translocation. Bone 2014; 60:16-25.

Abstract
Cytokine-directed osteoclastogenesis is initiated in response to macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) to drive formation of osteoclasts (OC), large bone resorptive cells of hematopoietic origin. RANKL-induced signaling activates the MAPK pathways, which initiates nuclear translocation of the master regulator of osteoclast formation, transcription factor NFATc1. Proper control over these signaling events is essential to normal OC formation response to stimuli. MAPK phosphatase 1 (MKP-1), a serine and tyrosine phosphatase encoded by the gene Dusp1, functions to dephosphorylate and subsequently inactivate MAPK (p38 and JNK) signaling essential in osteoclastogenesis. Here, we explored the role of MKP-1 during RANKL-driven osteoclastogenesis from defined (B220/CD45(-)GR1(-)CD11b(lo/-)CD115(+)) OC progenitor (dOCP) populations using WT and Dusp1(-/-) global knockout mice. Sorted cells were driven to OC by M-CSF pre-treatment followed by RANKL stimulation for 3days. OC formation and qPCR products were analyzed for maturation. Results indicate that Dusp1(-/-) dOCP form less numerous, significantly smaller and less functional OC compared to WT controls. These data were corroborated by mRNA expression of the key OC genes, Nfatc1 and Tm7sf4 (DC-STAMP), which were significantly reduced in early osteoclastogenesis in OC progenitor from Dusp1(-/-) mice. Intriguingly, our data reveals that MKP-1 may positively control OC formation in response to RANKL by regulating NFATc1 nuclear translocation. Collectively, this report supports the idea that MKP-1 signaling is essential in early osteoclastogenesis in response to RANKL-induced signaling.

Abstract
Platelets modulate formation of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, but research with different preparations of platelets remains inconclusive. Here, we assessed whether serum components modulate the effect of platelet preparations. In murine bone marrow cultures, osteoclastogenesis was investigated in the presence of platelet-released supernatant (PRS), serum containing PRS (SC-PRS), and serum. Osteoclastogenesis was quantified by the numbers of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cells, TRAP activity and resorption assays. Also human osteoclastogenesis assays were performed. Viability and proliferation were tested by MTT and (3) [H]thymidine incorporation assays, respectively. Osteoblastogenesis was assessed by histochemical staining for alkaline phosphatase-of murine bone marrow cultures and human MG63 cells. We found PRS to increase the number of TRAP(+) multinucleated cells in the early phase and TRAP activity in the later phase of osteoclastogenesis. SC-PRS and serum decreased the number and activity of TRAP(+) multinucleated cells. Both serum containing preparations reduced viability and proliferation of hematopoietic progenitors. PRS decreased the numbers of alkaline phosphatase-positive colonies while SC-PRS and serum increased osteoblastmarkers in MG63. Proliferation of MG63 was stimulated by all preparations. These results show that activated platelets support osteoclastogenesis, while platelet preparations that contain serum components decrease osteoclastogenesis and increase osteoblastogenesis in vitro, suggesting that serum components modulate the effects of platelets on osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis.

Abstract
RANKL induces the formation of osteoclasts, which are responsible for bone resorption. Herein, we investigated the role of SWAP-70-like adapter of T cells (SLAT) in RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. Expression levels of SLAT were reduced during RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. Overexpression of SLAT in BMMs inhibited TRAP-positive multinuclear osteoclast formation and attenuated the expression of NFATc1, which is an important modulator in osteoclastogenesis. Furthermore, silencing of SLAT by RNA interference enhanced osteoclast formation as well as NFATc1 expression. In addition, SLAT was involved in RANKL-induced JNK activation in osteoclasts. Taken together, our data suggest that SLAT acts as a negative modulator of RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Plasma membrane calcium ATPases PMCA1 and PMCA4 regulate osteoclast differentiation and survival by regulating NFATc1 and NO. The precise regulation of Ca2+ dynamics is crucial for proper differentiation and function of osteoclasts. Here we show the involvement of plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) isoforms 1 and 4 in osteoclastogenesis. In immature/undifferentiated cells, PMCAs inhibited receptor activator of NF-κB ligand–induced Ca2+ oscillations and osteoclast differentiation in vitro. Interestingly, nuclear factor of activated T cell c1 (NFATc1) directly stimulated PMCA transcription, whereas the PMCA-mediated Ca2+ efflux prevented NFATc1 activation, forming a negative regulatory loop. PMCA4 also had an anti-osteoclastogenic effect by reducing NO, which facilitates preosteoclast fusion. In addition to their role in immature cells, increased expression of PMCAs in mature osteoclasts prevented osteoclast apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. Mice heterozygous for PMCA1 or null for PMCA4 showed an osteopenic phenotype with more osteoclasts on bone surface. Furthermore, PMCA4 expression levels correlated with peak bone mass in premenopausal women. Thus, our results suggest that PMCAs play important roles for the regulation of bone homeostasis in both mice and humans by modulating Ca2+ signaling in osteoclasts.

Abstract
Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM)-like transcript-1 (TLT-1) is an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM)-baring TREM family protein. In this study, we identified an alternative transcript form of TLT-1, namely TLT-1s, which has very short extracellular immunoglobulin domain consisting of only 202 amino acids. TLT-1s was mainly expressed in macrophages and osteoclast precursor cells. Upon receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand stimulation, TLT-1s mRNA and protein levels were gradually decreased in BMMs. We also showed the TLT-1s is localized to the cytoplasmic membrane in osteoclast precursor cells. TLT-1s silencing strongly enhanced the formation and resorption activity of osteoclast. In addition, forced expression of TLT-1s showed reduced formation of osteoclast. Because ITIM-baring proteins inhibit immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-mediated receptor signaling, we tested whether TLT-1s physically interacted with TREM-2, the ITAM-associated co-stimulatory receptor essential for osteoclast differentiation. We showed that TLT-1s is associated with TREM-2 in osteoclast precursor cells. TLT-1s is also associated with tyrosine Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase-1 and SH2 domain-containing inositol phosphatase-1 and recruited them to the TREM2-ITAM signaling complex. In addition, knockdown of TLT-1s markedly elevated the intracellular calcium concentration and oscillation in osteoclast precursor cells. In addition, calcium-mediated induction of nuclear factor of activated T cells was also increased by TLT-1s silencing. Furthermore, TREM-2-mediated Akt activation and proliferation of osteoclast precursor cells were also enhanced in TLT-1s silenced cells. In this paper, we found the noble ITIM-baring inhibitory membrane protein; TLT-1s, which regulates ITAM-mediated signaling on osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain-3 (LC3) plays a critical role in autophagosome formation during autophagy; however, its potential alternative functions remain largely unexplored. Here we demonstrate a discrete role for LC3 in osteoclast, a specialized bone-resorbing cell that requires a dynamic microtubule network for its activity. We found that an increase in the conversion of soluble LC3-I to lipid-bound LC3-II in mature osteoclast was correlated with osteoclast activity, but not with autophagic activity. Knockdown of LC3 using small interfering RNA did not affect TRAP-positive multinucleated cell formation, but suppressed actin ring formation, cathepsin K release, and the subsequent bone-resorbing capacity of osteoclasts. LC3 mediated this function by associating with microtubules and regulating Cdc42 activity. More importantly, LC3-II protein levels were reduced by the Atg5 knockdown, and this knockdown led to decrease in Cdc42 activity, indicating that LC3-II is critical for Cdc42 activity. Overexpression of a constitutively active form of Cdc42 partially rescued the phenotype induced by LC3 knockdown. Our results demonstrate that LC3 contributes to the regulatory link between the microtubule and Cdc42 involved in bone-resorbing activity, providing evidence for a role for LC3 in mediating diverse cellular functions beyond its role as an autophagy protein.

Abstract
The calmodulin-dependent kinase (CaMK) family has been recently recognized to participate in the regulation of osteoclastogenesis. However, there are some controversial reports regarding the mRNA expression patterns of CaMKs during osteoclastogenesis, although the protein expression pattern of most CaMKs during osteoclastogenesis have not been studied. In the present study, we attempted to address this issue by using a mouse bone marrow monocyte model and parallel Western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR. Our results revealed some interesting expression patterns of CaMKs during the process. Among all CaMKs examined, only CaMKIIδ exhibited consistent expression patterns between its mRNA and protein with both rising remarkably during osteoclastogenesis. CaMKIV protein was not detectable during the first three days of cell culture, but it rose on Day 5. The CaMK inhibitor, KN93, subdued osteoclastogenesis during the first three days of cell culture, a time when CaMKIV was absent while other KN93-sensitive CaMKs presented. In addition, KN93 was found to inhibit the expression of some early receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) signaling intermediates (extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and Akt) in the non-differentiated mouse bone marrow monocytes. Collectively, these data reveal differential expression patterns of KN93-sensitive CaMK proteins and their mRNAs during osteoclastogenesis, supporting a CaMKII-RANK signaling interaction in the regulation of early osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are specialized macrophage derivatives that secrete acid and proteinases to mobilize bone for mineral homeostasis, growth, and replacement or repair. Osteoclast differentiation generally requires the monocyte growth factor m-CSF and the TNF-family cytokine RANKL, although differentiation is regulated by many other cytokines and by intracellular signals, including Ca(2+). Studies of osteoclast differentiation in vitro were performed using human monocytic precursors stimulated with m-CSF and RANKL, revealing significant loss in both the expression and function of the required components of store-operated Ca(2+) entry over the course of osteoclast differentiation. However, inhibition of CRAC using either the pharmacological agent 3,4-dichloropropioanilide (DCPA) or by knockdown of Orai1 severely inhibited formation of multinucleated osteoclasts. In contrast, no effect of CRAC channel inhibition was observed on expression of the osteoclast protein tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). Our findings suggest that despite the fact that they are down-regulated during osteoclast differentiation, CRAC channels are required for cell fusion, a late event in osteoclast differentiation. Since osteoclasts cannot function properly without multinucleation, selective CRAC inhibitors may have utility in management of hyperresorptive states.
