Abstract
Bone tissue constitutes 15-20% of human body weight and plays a crucial role in supporting the body, coordinating movement, regulating mineral homeostasis, and hematopoiesis. The maintenance of bone homeostasis relies on a delicate balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Osteoclasts, as the exclusive "bone resorbers" in the human skeletal system, are of paramount significance yet often receive inadequate attention. When osteoclast activity becomes excessive, it frequently leads to various bone metabolic disorders, subsequently resulting in secondary bone injuries, such as fractures. This not only reduces life quality of patients, but also imposes a significant economic burden on society. In response to the pressing need for biomaterials in the treatment of osteoclast dysregulation, there is a surge of research and investigations aimed at osteoclast regulation. Promising progress is achieved in this domain. This review seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how to modulate osteoclast activities. It summarizes bioactive substances that influence osteoclasts and elucidates strategies for constructing related biomaterial systems. It offers practical insights and ideas for the development and application of biomaterials and tissue engineering, with the hope of guiding the clinical treatment of osteoclast-related bone diseases using biomaterials in the future.

Abstract
Advanced and metastatic THCA patients usually have a poor prognosis. Thus, this study aimed to establish a risk model to discriminate the high risk population. The expression and clinical data were obtained from TCGA database. The cluster analysis, lasso, univariate and multivariate cox analyses were used to construct risk model. K-M, ROC and DCA were applied to validate the efficiency and stability of the model. GO, KEGG, and ssGSEA analysis were performed to identify the potential mechanism of signatures. The 7-gene prognosis model was constructed, including FAM27E3, FIGN, GSTM4, BEX5, RBPMS2, PHF13, and DCSTAMP. ROC and DCA results showed our model had a better prognosis prediction performance than other risk models. The high risk score was associated with the poor prognosis of THCA patients with different clinical characteristics. The risk score was closely related to cell cycle. Further, we found that the expressions of signatures were significantly dysregulated in THCA and associated with prognosis. These gene expressions were affected by some clinical characteristics, methylation and CNV. Some signatures played a role in drug sensitivity and pathway activation. We constructed a 7-gene signature model based on the integrin-related genes, which showed a great prognostic value in THCA.

Ebrahimi Samani S, Kaartinen MT. Increased Osteoclastogenesis in Absence of TG2 Is Reversed by Transglutaminase Inhibition-Evidence for the Role for TG1 in Osteoclast Formation. Cells 2023; 12:2139. [PMID: 37681871 PMCID: PMC10487146 DOI: 10.3390/cells12172139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoclasts are multinucleated, bone-resorbing giant cells derived from monocyte-macrophage cell lines. Increased bone resorption results in loss of bone mass and osteoporosis. Osteoclast and bone marrow macrophages have been shown to express three TG enzymes (TG2, Factor XIII-A, and TG1) and TG activity to regulate osteoclast differentiation from bone marrow macrophages in vitro. In vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated that the deletion of TG2 causes increased osteoclastogenesis and a significant loss of bone mass in mice (Tgm2-/- mice). Here, we confirm that TG2 deficiency results in increased osteoclastogenesis in vitro and show that this increase can be reversed by a TG inhibitor, NC9, suggesting that other TGs are responsible for driving osteoclastogenesis in the absence of TG2. An assessment of total TG activity with 5-(biotinamido)-pentylamine, as well as TG1 and FXIII-A activities using TG-specific Hitomi peptides (bK5 and bF11) in Tgm2-/- bone marrow flushes, bone marrow macrophages, and osteoclasts, showed a significant increase in total TG activity and TG1 activity. Factor XIII-A activity was unchanged. Aspartate proteases, such as cathepsins, are involved in the degradation of organic bone matrix and can be produced by osteoclasts. Moreover, Cathepsin D was shown in previous work to be increased in TG2-null cells and is known to activate TG1. We show that Pepstatin A, an aspartate protease inhibitor, blocks osteoclastogenesis in wild-type and Tgm2-/- cells and decreases TG1 activity in Tgm2-/- osteoclasts. Cathepsin D protein levels were unaltered in Tgm2-/-cells and its activity moderately but significantly increased. Tgm2-/- and Tgm2+/+ bone marrow macrophages and osteoclasts also expressed Cathepsin E, and Renin of the aspartate protease family, suggesting their potential involvement in this process. Our study brings further support to the observation that TGs are significant regulators of osteoclastogenesis and that the absence of TG2 can cause increased activity of other TGs, such as TG1.

Physiological consequences of space flight, including abnormal bone metabolism, space radiation injury, and circadian clock dysregulation: Implications of melatonin use and regulation as a countermeasure. J Pineal Res 2023; 74:e12834.

Abstract
Exposure to the space environment induces a number of pathophysiological outcomes in astronauts, including bone demineralization, sleep disorders, circadian clock dysregulation, cardiovascular and metabolic dysfunction, and reduced immune system function. A recent report describing experiments aboard the Space Shuttle mission, STS-132, showed that the level of melatonin, a hormone that provides the biochemical signal of darkness, was decreased during microgravity in an in vitro culture model. Additionally, abnormal lighting conditions in outer space, such as low light intensity in orbital spacecraft and the altered 24-h light-dark cycles, may result in the dysregulation of melatonin rhythms and the misalignment of the circadian clock from sleep and work schedules in astronauts. Studies on Earth have demonstrated that melatonin regulates various physiological functions including bone metabolism. These data suggest that the abnormal regulation of melatonin in outer space may contribute to pathophysiological conditions of astronauts. In addition, experiments with high-linear energy transfer radiation, a ground-based model of space radiation, showed that melatonin may serve as a protectant against space radiation. Gene expression profiling using an in vitro culture model exposed to space flight during the STS-132 mission, showed that space radiation alters the expression of DNA repair and oxidative stress response genes, indicating that melatonin counteracts the expression of these genes responsive to space radiation to promote cell survival. These findings implicate the use of exogenous melatonin and the regulation of endogenous melatonin as countermeasures for the physiological consequences of space flight.

Effects of Artemisia annua L. Essential Oil on Osteoclast Differentiation and Function Induced by RANKL. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:1322957. [PMID: 35432559 PMCID: PMC9010179 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1322957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2021] [Revised: 02/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to assess the main components of Artemisia annua L. essential oil (AEO) and determine their effect on the proliferation and differentiation of RAW264.7 cells induced by receptor activator for nuclear factor-ligand (RANKL) in vitro. Then, we tried to explain part of the function of its possible mechanisms. Materials and Methods Essential oil was extracted from Artemisia annua L. Osteoclasts were induced in vitro by RANKL in mouse RAW264.7 cells. The experimental group was treated with different concentrations of AEO, while the control group was not treated with AEO. CCK8 was used to detect osteoclast proliferation. The osteoclasts were stained with TRAP. Western blot was used to detect protein in the MAPK pathway and the NF-κB pathway after treatment with different concentrations of AEO. RT-PCR was used to determine the expression of osteoclast-related mRNA in cells. Results The GC-MS analysis was used to obtain the main components of AEO, including camphor, borneol, camphor, borneol, terpinen-4-ol, p-cymene, eucalyptol, deoxyartemisinin, and artemisia ketone. The CCK8 results showed that the AEO volume ratio of 1 : 4000, 1 : 5000, and 1 : 6000 did not affect the proliferation of RAW264.7 cells. However, TRAP staining showed that AEO decreased osteoclast formation. Western blot results showed that the expression of protein TRAF6, p-p38, p-ERK, p-p65, and NFATc1 decreased in the MAPK pathway and the NF-κB pathway affected by AEO. Furthermore, RT-PCR results showed that the expression of osteoclast resorption-related mRNAs (MMP-9, DC-STAMP, TRAP, and CTSK) and osteoclast differentiation-related mRNAs (OSCAR, NFATc1, c-Src, and c-Fos) also decreased in the experimental group. Conclusions AEO inhibits osteoclast differentiation in vitro, probably by reducing TRAF6 activation, acting on the MAPK pathway and NF-κB pathway, and inhibiting the expression of osteoclast-related genes.

Abstract
Monocytes and macrophages are innate immune cells with diverse functions ranging from phagocytosis of microorganisms to forming a bridge with the adaptive immune system. A lesser-known attribute of macrophages is their ability to fuse with each other to form multinucleated giant cells. Based on their morphology and functional characteristics, there are in general three types of multinucleated giant cells including osteoclasts, foreign body giant cells and Langhans giant cells. Osteoclasts are bone resorbing cells and under physiological conditions they participate in bone remodeling. However, under pathological conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis, osteoclasts are responsible for bone destruction and bone loss. Foreign body giant cells and Langhans giant cells appear only under pathological conditions. While foreign body giant cells are found in immune reactions against foreign material, including implants, Langhans giant cells are associated with granulomas in infectious and non-infectious diseases. The functionality and fusion mechanism of osteoclasts are being elucidated, however, our knowledge on the functions of foreign body giant cells and Langhans giant cells is limited. In this review, we describe and compare the phenotypic aspects, biological and functional activities of the three types of multinucleated giant cells. Furthermore, we provide an overview of the multinucleation process and highlight key molecules in the different phases of macrophage fusion.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is an osteolytic disease with a disrupted balance between the resorption and formation of bone as well as bone microstructure degeneration, leading to bone loss and increased fracture risk, which greatly affects patients' quality of life. Currently, inhibition of osteoclast bone resorption remains the mainstream treatment for osteoporosis. Onc201, a new compound, induces the gene expression of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and has an efficient anticancer effect in clinical trials. However, its effects on osteolytic disease and the mechanism of action are unclear. We examined the effect of Onc201 on nuclear factor κB ligand-receptor activator (RANKL)-induced osteoclasts via Cell Counting Kit-8, bone resorption assay, luciferase reporter assay, immunofluorescence staining, calcium ion intensity assay and employed an ovariectomy model to investigate the effect of Onc201 on osteoporosis in the mice. Results showed that Onc201 inhibited the function and formation of osteoclasts induced by RANKL in a manner that was dependent on time and concentration, and did not cause cytotoxicity. Mechanistically, Onc201 inhibited osteoclast-relevant genes and NFATc1 expression, the main transcriptional regulatory factor of the formation of osteoclasts induced by RANKL; meanwhile, downregulating the expressions of the osteoclast cytoskeleton key signal molecules integrin αvβ3, focal adhesion kinase (FAK), c-Src, and spleen-associated tyrosine kinase (SYK). In addition, Onc201 had a protective effect on the mouse model of bone loss caused by ovariectomy-induced estrogen deficiency, which is consistent with the in vitro results. Our findings suggest that the new small-molecular compound Onc201 has the potential to prevent osteoclast-related osteolytic diseases.

Abstract
Targeting excessive osteoclast differentiation and activity is considered a valid therapeutic approach for osteoporosis. Zoledronic acid (ZOL) plays a pivotal role in regulating bone mineral density. However, the exact molecular mechanisms responsible for the inhibitory effects of ZOL on receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast formation are not entirely clear. The present study aimed to investigate the role of ZOL in osteoclast differentiation and function, and to determine whether NF-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase, and their downstream signalling pathways, are involved in this process. RAW264.7 cells were cultured with RANKL for differentiation into osteoclasts, in either the presence or absence of ZOL. Osteoclast formation was observed by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining and bone resorption pit assays using dentine slices. The expression of osteoclast-specific molecules was analysed using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting assays to deduce the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of ZOL in osteoclastogenesis. The results showed that ZOL significantly attenuated osteoclastogenesis and bone resorptive capacity in vitro. ZOL also suppressed the activation of NF-κB and the phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase. Furthermore, it inhibited the expression of the downstream factors c-Jun, c-Fos and nuclear factor of activated T cells c1, thereby decreasing the expression of dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein and other osteoclast-specific markers. In conclusion, ZOL may have therapeutic potential for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Different types of multinucleated giant cells (MGCs) of myeloid origin have been described; osteoclasts are the most extensively studied because of their importance in bone homeostasis. MGCs are formed by cell-to-cell fusion, and most types have been observed in pathological conditions, especially in infectious and non-infectious chronic inflammatory contexts. The precise role of the different MGCs and the mechanisms that govern their formation remain poorly understood, likely due to their heterogeneity. First, we will introduce the main populations of MGCs derived from the monocyte/macrophage lineage. We will then discuss the known molecular actors mediating the early stages of fusion, focusing on cell-surface receptors involved in the cell-to-cell adhesion steps that ultimately lead to multinucleation. Given that cell-to-cell fusion is a complex and well-coordinated process, we will also describe what is currently known about the evolution of F-actin-based structures involved in macrophage fusion, i.e., podosomes, zipper-like structures, and tunneling nanotubes (TNT). Finally, the localization and potential role of the key fusion mediators related to the formation of these F-actin structures will be discussed. This review intends to present the current status of knowledge of the molecular and cellular mechanisms supporting multinucleation of myeloid cells, highlighting the gaps still existing, and contributing to the proposition of potential disease-specific MGC markers and/or therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone-loss disease characterized by abnormally excessive osteoclast formation and bone resorption. Identification of natural medicines that can inhibit osteoclastogenesis, bone resorption, and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced signaling is necessary for improved treatment of osteoporosis. In this study, hinokitiol, a tropolone-related compound extracted from the heart wood of several cupressaceous plants, was found to inhibit RANKL-induced osteoclast formation and bone resorption in vitro. Hinokitiol inhibited early activation of the ERK, p38, and JNK-MAPK pathways, thereby suppressing the activity and expression of downstream factors (c-Jun, c-Fos, and NFATC1). Consistent with the above in vitro findings, hinokitiol treatment protected against ovariectomy-induced bone loss in vivo. Collectively, our results imply that hinokitiol can potentially serve as an effective agent for treating osteoclast-induced osteoporosis.

Biological Evaluation and Transcriptomic Analysis of Corylin as an Inhibitor of Osteoclast Differentiation. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22073540. [PMID: 33805517 PMCID: PMC8036378 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22073540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2021] [Revised: 03/23/2021] [Accepted: 03/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Corylin, a flavonoid isolated from the fruit of Psoralea corylifolia, has an osteogenic effect on osteoblasts in vitro and bone micromass ex vivo. However, the effect and mechanism of corylin in regulating osteoclastogenesis remain unknown. By using murine bone marrow macrophages as the osteoclast precursor, corylin was found to inhibit the receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF) κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation via down-regulating osteoclastic marker genes. In parallel, F-actin formation and osteoclast migration were diminished in corylin-treated cultured osteoclasts, and subsequently the expressions of osteoclastic proteins were suppressed: the suppression of protein expression was further illustrated by transcriptomic analysis. Furthermore, corylin inhibited the nuclear translocation of p65, giving rise to a restraint in osteoclastic differentiation through the attenuation of transcription factors nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1). There was no obvious change in apoptosis when the RANKL-induce osteoclasts were cultured in the presence of corylin. The finding supports the potential development of corylin as an osteoclast inhibitor against osteoporosis.

Abstract
The development of multi-nucleated cells is critical for osteoclasts (OCs) maturation and function. Our objective was to extend knowledge on osteoclastogenesis, focusing on pre-OC fusion timing and behavior. RAW 264.7 cells, which is a murine monocyte-macrophage cell line, provide a valuable and widely used tool for in vitro studies on osteoclastogenesis mechanisms. Cells were treated with the receptor activator of nuclear factor κ-B ligand (RANKL) for 1-4 days and effects on cell morphology, cytoskeletal organization, protein distribution, and OC-specific gene expression examined by TEM, immunofluorescence, and qPCR. Multinucleated cells began to appear at two days of Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor κ-B Ligand (RANKL) stimulation, increasing in number and size in the following days, associated with morphological and cytoskeletal organization changes. Interesting cellular extensions were observed in three days within cells labeled with wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). The membrane, cytoplasmic, or nuclear distribution of RANK, TRAF6, p-p38, pERK1/2, and NFATc1, respectively, was related to OCs maturation timing. The gene expression for transcription factors regulating osteoclastogenesis (NFATc1, c-fos, RelA, MITF), molecules involved in RANKL-signaling transduction (TRAF6), cytoskeleton regulation (RhoA), fusion (DC-STAMP), migration (MMP9), and OC-specific enzymes (TRAP, CtsK), showed different trends related to OC differentiation timing. Our findings provide an integrated view on the morphological and molecular changes occurring during RANKL stimulation of RAW 264.7 cells, which are important to better understand the OCs' maturation processes.

Abstract
In Asia, Amomum tsao-ko has long been used as a spice or seasoning in food to stimulate digestion. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of ethanol extract of Amomum tsao-ko (EEAT) on menopausal osteoporosis and obesity. After the administration of EEAT in ovariectomy (OVX) mice models for five weeks, microcomputed tomography and a histological analysis were performed to assess, respectively, the trabecular structure and the fat accumulation in adipose, liver, and bone tissues. We also examined the effects of EEAT on a bone marrow macrophage model of osteoclastogenesis by in vitro stimulation from the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa Β ligand (RANKL) through real-time PCR and Western blot analysis. In addition, ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) with authentic standards was applied to characterize the phytochemical profiling of EEAT. We found that EEAT significantly decreased OVX-induced body weight gain and fat accumulation, significantly prevented OVX-induced deterioration of bone mineral density and microstructure of trabecular tissues, and significantly inhibited osteoclast differentiation by downregulating NF-κB/Fos/NFATc1 signaling in osteoclasts. Furthermore, UHPLC-MS/MS identified eight beneficial phytochemicals in EEAT. Collectively, these results suggest that EEAT might be an effective nutraceutical candidate to attenuate menopausal osteoporosis by inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and to prevent obesity by suppressing fat accumulation.

Abstract
Gan-Lu-Yin (GLY), a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, shows therapeutic effects on periodontitis, but that mechanism is not well known. This study aims to clarify the precise mechanism by investigating the inhibitory effects of GLY extracts on osteoclastogenesis in vitro and on bone resorption in periodontitis in vivo. RAW264.7 cells are cultured with soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (sRANKL) and GLY extracts (0.01–1.0 mg/mL), and stained for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) to evaluate osteoclast differentiation. Experimental periodontitis is induced by placing a nylon ligature around the second maxillary molar in rats, and rats are administered GLY extracts (60 mg/kg) daily for 20 days. Their maxillae are collected on day 4 and 20, and the levels of alveolar bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation are estimated using micro-computed tomography (CT) and histological analysis, respectively. In RAW264.7 cells, GLY extracts significantly inhibit sRANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation at a concentration of more than 0.05 mg/mL. In experimental periodontitis, administering GLY extracts significantly decreases the number of TRAP-positive osteoclasts in the alveolar bone on day 4, and significantly inhibits the ligature-induced bone resorption on day 20. These results show that GLY extracts suppress bone resorption by inhibiting osteoclast differentiation in experimental periodontitis, suggesting that GLY extracts are potentially useful for oral care in periodontitis.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) metastases to bone disrupt the balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts, leading to excessive bone resorption. We identified a novel subpopulation of osteoblasts with tumor-inhibitory properties, called educated osteoblasts (EOs). Here we sought to examine the effect of EOs on osteoclastogenesis during tumor progression. We hypothesized that EOs affect osteoclast development in the bone-tumor niche, leading to suppressed pre-osteoclast fusion and bone resorption. Conditioned media (CM) was analyzed for protein expression of osteoclast factors receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-β ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) via ELISA. EOs were co-cultured with pre-osteoclasts on a bone mimetic matrix to assess osteoclast resorption. Pre-osteoclasts were tri-cultured with EOs plus metastatic BC cells and assessed for tartrate-resistance acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive, multinucleated (≥3 nuclei), mature osteoclasts. Tumor-bearing murine tibias were stained for TRAP to determine osteoclast number in-vivo. EO CM expressed reduced amounts of soluble TNFα and OPG compared to naïve osteoblast CM. Osteoclasts formed in the presence of EOs were smaller and less in number. Upon co-culture on a mimetic bone matrix, a 50% reduction in the number of TRAP-positive osteoclasts formed in the presence of EOs was observed. The tibia of mice inoculated with BC cells had less osteoclasts per bone surface in bones with increased numbers of EO cells. These data suggest EOs reduce osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. The data imply EOs provide a protective effect against bone resorption in bone metastatic BC.

Suppressive effects of an apoptotic mimicry prepared from jumbo-flying squid-skin phospholipids on the osteoclastogenesis in receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand/macrophage colony-stimulating factor-induced RAW 264.7 cells. J Chin Med Assoc 2021; 84:51-60.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liposomes containing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and phosphatidylserine were claimed to inhibit osteoclast formation and bone resorption in the inflammatory status. Herein, we proposed that an apoptotic mimicry (SQ liposome) prepared from squid-skin phospholipids can explore the suppressive osteoclastogenesis. METHODS The intermolecular fatty-acid composition in the phospholipid of squid-skin extract was analyzed by GC-FID. The SQ liposome structure was characterized by size distribution and zeta potential (ζ). RAW 264.7 cell is used to study the effect of SQ liposomes on osteoclast differentiation. Secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) from RAW 264.7 cells were assayed. Antiosteoclastogenesis effects were performed via the tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cell (MNC) counting, bone resorption pit assay, and TRAP activity analysis. The specific gene expressions related to antiosteoclastogenesis were also detected. RESULTS An apoptotic mimicry through the use of a single-layer liposome (SQ liposome) with phosphatidylserine exposure contains DHA (28.7%) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 11.8%). Co-treatment with receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL)/macrophage colony-stimulating factor induced RAW 264.7-cell differentiation into mature osteoclasts, thus enhancing PGE2 and TGF-β secretion. However, cotreatment with 1 mg/mL of SQ liposome restored (p < 0.05) the cell viabilities under the RANKL stress. Increased PGE2 levels was downregulated (p < 0.05) in cotreatments with 0.11 and 0.33 mg/mL of SQ liposome, but on the TGF-β levels were not (p > 0.05) influenced in SQ liposome cotreatments. Cotreatments with 0.33-1 mg/mL of SQ liposome suppressed (p < 0.05) the osteoclast maturation (such as decreased MNCs and bone pit formation), inhibited TRAP activities, and downregulated the osteoclastogenesis-related gene expressions. CONCLUSION In summary, current data support that a possible prevention of our prepared SQ liposomes which are rich in DHA and EPA on bone loss is through the suppression of osteoclastogenesis. Moreover, based on the results from this study an in vivo study warrants a further investigation.

Abstract
Skeletal system has been considered a highly dynamic system, in which bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts go through a continuous remodeling cycle to maintain homeostasis of bone matrix. It has been well acknowledged that interferons (IFNs), acting as a subgroup of cytokines, not only have crucial effects on regulating immunology but also could modulate the dynamic balance of bone matrix. In the light of different isoforms, IFNs have been divided into three major categories in terms of amino acid sequences, recognition of specific receptors and biological activities. Currently, type I IFNs consist of a multi-gene family with several subtypes, of which IFN-α exerts pro-osteoblastogenic effects to activate osteoblast differentiation and inhibits osteoclast fusion to maintain bone matrix integrity. Meanwhile, IFN-β suppresses osteoblast-mediated bone remodeling as well as exhibits inhibitory effects on osteoclast differentiation to attenuate bone resorption. Type II IFN constitutes the only type, IFN-γ, which exerts regulatory effects on osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoblastic bone formation by biphasic ways. Interestingly, type III IFNs are regarded as new members of IFN family composed of four members, including IFN-λ1 (IL-29), IFN-λ2 (IL-28A), IFN-λ3 (IL-28B) and IFN-λ4, which have been certified to participate in bone destruction. However, the direct regulatory mechanisms underlying how type III IFNs modulate the metabolic balance of bone matrix, remains poorly elucidated. In this review, we have summarized functions of IFN family during physiological and pathological conditions and described the mechanisms by which IFNs maintain bone matrix homeostasis via affecting the osteoclast-osteoblast crosstalk. In addition, the potential therapeutic effects of IFNs on inflammatory bone destruction diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA) and infectious bone diseases are also well displayed, which are based on the predominant role of IFNs in modulating the dynamic equilibrium of bone matrix.

Gastrin-Releasing Peptide (GRP) Stimulates Osteoclastogenesis in Periodontitis. Cells 2020; 10:cells10010050.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with alveolar bone resorption and subsequent tooth loss as its ultimate outcomes. Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) is a neuropeptide with growth-stimulatory and tumorigenic properties, and neuropeptides have previously been suggested to play a role in the complex cascade of chemical activity associated with periodontal inflammation. In this study, GRP treatment enhanced the differentiation of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) into osteoclasts, and gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) antagonists suppressed the pro-osteoclastogenic effect of GRP. Grpr-siRNA knockdown resulted in a significantly lower number of osteoclasts formed as compared with the control. Interestingly, gene expression analysis indicated downregulation of Grp and Grpr expressions in BMMs during osteoclastogenesis. Moreover, ligature-induced periodontitis model in mice and gingival samples from patients with periodontitis displayed increased immunostaining of GRP in the oral epithelium. Subsequently, stimulation of mouse primary epithelial cells (ECs) and HaCaT cells, human epidermal keratinocytes, with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Porphyromonas gingivalis or live P. gingivalis upregulated Grp and Grpr expressions. Finally, coculture of P. gingivalis-stimulated ECs and BMMs using Transwell system revealed that the differentiation of BMMs was induced when subjected to paracrine activation by LPS- as well as live-P. gingivalis stimulated ECs. Taken together, our results demonstrate that the pro-osteoclastogenic properties of BMMs may be modulated by GRP produced by ECs in the periodontal microenvironment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory osteolysis is a severe infectious bone disorder that occurs during orthopaedic surgery and is caused by disruptions in the dynamic balance of bone matrix homeostasis, which makes this condition a burden on surgical procedures. Developing novel therapeutic drugs about inhibiting excessive osteoclastogenesis acts as an efficient approach to preventing inflammatory bone destruction. METHODS To study this, we explored the potential effects and mechanisms of compound 17 on inflammatory osteolysis in vitro. Meanwhile, a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced calvarial osteolysis mouse model was used to evaluate the protective effect of compound 17 on inflammatory bone destruction in vivo. RESULTS In our study, we found that compound 17 could inhibit osteoclast (OC) differentiation and bone resorption during RANKL and LPS stimulation in a time- and dose-dependent manner, while compounds 5 and 13 did not have the same effects. Mechanistically, compound 17 promoted phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) activity by reducing PTEN ubiquitination, thereby restraining the RANKL-induced NF-κB pathway, resulting in the inhibition of the expression of osteoclastogenesis-related genes and the formation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Additionally, we also investigated whether compound 17 could negatively modulate macrophage polarization and repolarization due to its anti-inflammatory effects. Moreover, compound 17 also plays an important role in osteoblast differentiation and mineralization. In vivo experiments showed that compound 17 could effectively protect mice from LPS-induced inflammatory bone destruction by inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and inflammation. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, these results show that compound 17 might play protective role in inflammatory bone destruction through inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and inflammation. These findings imply a possible role of compound 17 in inflammatory osteolysis-related diseases.

Letrozole Suppresses the Fusion of Osteoclast Precursors through Inhibition of p38-Mediated DC-STAMP Pathway. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21218396. [PMID: 33182361 PMCID: PMC7664929 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21218396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2020] [Revised: 11/02/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Letrozole is a reversible nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor that is widely used in postmenopausal breast cancer patients. It is well established that letrozole decreases bone density owing to estrogen depletion; however, few studies have reported its direct effect on bone cells in vitro. Therefore, we investigated the effect of letrozole on bone metabolism, focusing on osteoclastogenesis. Letrozole did not affect the viability, proliferation, or migration of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs); however, it reduced the multinucleation of immature osteoclasts and subsequent bone resorption in vitro. Overall, letrozole inhibited the expression of dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, calcitonin receptor, and cathepsin K. Among them, the reduced expression of DC-STAMP was the most prominent. However, this downregulation of DC-STAMP expression following letrozole treatment was not related to the inhibition of major osteoclastogenesis pathways, such as the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), c-Fos, and nuclear factor of activated T cell c1 (NFATc1) pathways, but was attributed to the inhibition of p38, which is known to reside upstream of DC-STAMP expression. Notably, the anti-osteoclastogenic effect of letrozole was abolished following treatment with the p38 activator anisomycin. Contrary to our expectations, these results strongly suggest a previously unknown anti-osteoclastogenic activity of letrozole, mediated by the downregulation of the p38/DC-STAMP pathway.

Abstract
Metabolic acidosis induces osteoclastic bone resorption and inhibits osteoblastic bone formation. Previously we found that mice with a global deletion of the proton receptor OGR1 had increased bone density although both osteoblast and osteoclast activity were increased. To test whether direct effects on osteoclast OGR1 are critical for metabolic acidosis stimulated bone resorption, we generated knockout mice with an osteoclast-specific deletion of OGR1 (knockout mice). We studied bones from three-month old female mice and the differentiated osteoclasts derived from bone marrow of femurs from these knockout and wild type mice. MicroCT demonstrated increased density in tibiae and femurs but not in vertebrae of the knockout mice. Tartrate resistant acid phosphatase staining of tibia indicated a decrease in osteoclast number and surface area/bone surface from knockout compared to wild type mice. Osteoclasts derived from the marrow of knockout mice demonstrated decreased pit formation, osteoclast staining and osteoclast-specific gene expression compared to those from wild type mice. In response to metabolic acidosis, osteoclasts from knockout mice had decreased nuclear translocation of NFATc1, a transcriptional regulator of differentiation, and no increase in size or number compared to osteoclasts from wild type mice. Thus, loss of osteoclast OGR1 decreased both basal and metabolic acidosis-induced osteoclast activity indicating osteoclast OGR1 is important in mediating metabolic acidosis-induced bone resorption. Understanding the role of OGR1 in metabolic acidosis-induced bone resorption will provide insight into bone loss in acidotic patients with chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Introduction Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease characterized by reduced bone quantity and microstructure, typically owing to increased osteoclastogenesis and/or enhanced osteoclastic bone resorption, resulting in uncontrolled bone loss, which primarily affects postmenopausal women. In consideration of the severe side effects of current drugs for osteoporosis, new safe and effective medications are necessary. Pristimerin (Pri), a quinone methide triterpene extracted from Celastraceae and Hippocrateaceae members, exhibits potent antineoplastic and anti-inflammatory effects. However, its effect on osteoclasts remains unknown. Materials and Methods We evaluated the anti-osteoclastogenic and anti-resorptive effect of Pri on bone marrow-derived osteoclasts and its underlying mechanism in vitro. In addition, the protective effect of Pri on ovariectomy model was also explored in vivo. Results In vitro, Pri inhibited osteoclast differentiation and mature osteoclastic bone resorption in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Further, Pri suppressed the expression of osteoclast-related genes and the activation of key proteins. Pri also inhibited the early activation of ERK, JNK MAPK, and AKT signaling pathways in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs), ultimately inhibiting the induction and activation of the crucial osteoclast transcriptional factor nuclear factor of activated T‐cell cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1). In vivo, consistent with our in vitro data, Pri clearly prevented ovariectomy-induced bone loss. Conclusion Our data showed that Pri inhibits the differentiation and activation of osteoclasts in vitro and in vivo, and could be a promising candidate for treating osteoporosis.

Abstract
Classically, osteoclast fusion consists of four basic steps: (1) attraction/migration, (2) recognition, (3) cell-cell adhesion, and (4) membrane fusion. In theory, this sounds like a straightforward simple linear process. However, it is not. Osteoclast fusion has to take place in a well-coordinated manner-something that is not simple. In vivo, the complex regulation of osteoclast formation takes place within the bone marrow-in time and space. The present review will focus on considering osteoclast fusion in the context of physiology and pathology. Special attention is given to: (1) regulation of osteoclast fusion in vivo, (2) heterogeneity of osteoclast fusion partners, (3) regulation of multi-nucleation, (4) implications for physiology and pathology, and (5) implications for drug sensitivity and side effects. The review will emphasize that more attention should be given to the human in vivo reality when interpreting the impact of in vitro and animal studies. This should be done in order to improve our understanding of human physiology and pathology, as well as to improve anti-resorptive treatment and reduce side effects.

Fusion Potential of Human Osteoclasts In Vitro Reflects Age, Menopause, and In Vivo Bone Resorption Levels of Their Donors-A Possible Involvement of DC-STAMP. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21176368. [PMID: 32887359 PMCID: PMC7504560 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21176368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Revised: 08/27/2020] [Accepted: 09/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
It is well established that multinucleation is central for osteoclastic bone resorption. However, our knowledge on the mechanisms regulating how many nuclei an osteoclast will have is limited. The objective of this study was to investigate donor-related variations in the fusion potential of in vitro-generated osteoclasts. Therefore, CD14+ monocytes were isolated from 49 healthy female donors. Donor demographics were compared to the in vivo bone biomarker levels and their monocytes’ ability to differentiate into osteoclasts, showing that: (1) C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) and procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) levels increase with age, (2) the number of nuclei per osteoclast in vitro increases with age, and (3) there is a positive correlation between the number of nuclei per osteoclast in vitro and CTX levels in vivo. Furthermore, the expression levels of the gene encoding dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DCSTAMP) of osteoclasts in vitro correlated positively with the number of nuclei per osteoclast, CTX levels in vivo, and donor age. Our results furthermore suggest that these changes in gene expression may be mediated through age-related changes in DNA methylation levels. We conclude that both intrinsic factors and age-induced increase in fusion potential of osteoclasts could be contributing factors for the enhanced bone resorption in vivo, possibly caused by increased expression levels of DCSTAMP.

Abstract
Niclosamide is a potent inhibitor of osteoclastogenesis and bone remodeling. DK‐520 is an acyl derivative of Niclosamide and significantly increased both the plasma concentration and the duration of exposure of Niclosamide when dosed orally. However, at present the effect of DK‐520 on osteoclastogenesis has not been reported. Here, we investigated whether DK‐520 can regulate receptor activator of nuclear factor‐κB ligand (RANKL)‐induced osteoclastogenesis of bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) in vitro. Following induction of BMMs with RANKL for three days, we detected differentiated osteoclasts with typical morphology and high levels of tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), RANKL, and cathepsin K (CTSK) expression. Treatment with either Niclosamide or DK‐520 did not affect the viability of osteoclast precursors (OCPs), but significantly inhibited RANKL‐induced transdifferentiation of macrophages into OCPs, particularly in the early stage of osteoclastogenesis. Both Niclosamide and DK‐520 significantly decreased the relative levels of transcription factor PU.1 mRNA transcripts and dendritic cell‐specific transmembrane protein (DC‐STAMP), but not v‐ATPasev0d2 protein expression in OCPs. In addition, the inhibitory effect of DK‐520 on osteoclastogenesis is realized through impairment of the NF‐kB (nuclear factor‐κB) and MAPK (mitogen‐activated protein kinase) signaling pathways. These results demonstrate that DK‐520, like Niclosamide, effectively inhibits the early stage of osteoclastogenesis. The findings presented here, together with its increased oral plasma concentrations and bioavailability, suggest that DK‐520 may be a promising drug candidate for treatment of osteoclast‐related diseases.

Abstract
In Asia, extracts of Lysimachia christinae have been used for liver or urinogenital system-related diseases in traditional medicine. In this study, we investigated the effects of the water extract of L. christinae (WELC) on receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa Β ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastic differentiation of bone marrow macrophages, and on osteoporosis and obesity in ovariectomy mice. RANK signaling pathways related to osteoclast differentiation were examined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and western blot analysis. Additionally, we performed micro-computed tomography to assess trabecular bone loss, histological analysis for fat accumulation in adipose, liver, and bone tissues, and phytochemical profiling for WELC characterization. WELC significantly inhibited osteoclast differentiation by downregulating RANKL-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/c-Fos/nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) signaling in osteoclast precursors and ovariectomy-induced trabecular loss by suppressing osteolcastic bone resorption. WELC markedly decreased ovariectomy-induced body weight gain and fat accumulation in adipose, liver, and bone tissues. Furthermore, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) identified 16 phytochemicals in WELC when compared with the mass fragmentation of standard chemicals. Collectively, these results suggest that WELC might possess beneficial effects on postmenopausal osteoporosis by inhibiting osteoclast differentiation and obesity by suppressing fat accumulation.

Abstract
Although periodontitis is one of the commonest infectious inflammatory diseases in humans, the mechanisms involved with its immunopathology remain ill understood. Numerous molecules may induce inflammation and lead to bone resorption, secondary to activation of monocytes into osteoclasts. TACE (TNF-α converting enzyme) and DC-STAMP (dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein) appear to play a role on bone resorption since TACE induces the release of sRANKL (soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-β ligand) whereas DC-STAMP is a key factor in osteoclast induction. The present study evaluated the levels of TACE and DC-STAMP in patients with and without periodontitis. Twenty individuals were selected: 10 periodontally healthy participants undergoing gingivectomy for esthetic reasons and 10 diagnosed with periodontitis. Protein levels of such molecules in gingival tissue were established using Western blotting. Protein levels of both TACE and DC-STAMP were higher in the periodontitis group than in the control group (p<0.05; Student t-test). In conclusion, TACE and DC-STAMP protein levels are elevated in patients with periodontitis, favoring progression of bone resorption.

Abstract
The precise regulation of osteoclast differentiation and function is crucial for the maintenance of healthy bone. Despite several reports of collagenase expression in bone tissues, the precise isoform expression as well as the role in osteoclasts are still unclear. In the present report, the expression of matrix metalloprotease (MMP)8 and MMP13 was confirmed in mouse bone marrow macrophage osteoclast precursors. The mRNA and protein expressions of both collagenases were significantly reduced by receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) stimulation. Notably, either inhibition of MMP expression by siRNA or treatment of cells with collagenase inhibitor Ro 32-3555 significantly augmented osteoclast fusion and resorption activity without affecting the osteoclast number. The inhibition of collagenase by Ro 32-3555 increased the expression of osteoclast fusion genes, Atp6v0d2 and Dcstamp, without affecting nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) protein expression. The enhanced osteoclast fusion by collagenase inhibition appears to be mediated through an extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK)-dependent pathway. Collectively, these data provide novel information on the regulation of osteoclast fusion process.

Abstract
Background Delayed bone healing, especially in long bones poses one of the biggest problems in orthopeadic and reconstructive surgery and causes tremendous costs every year. There is a need for exploring the causes in order to find an adequate therapy. Earlier investigations of human scaphoid non-union revealed an elevated osteoclast activity, accompanied by upregulated levels of TGF-beta and RANKL. Interestingly, scaphoid non-union seemed to be well vascularized. Methods In the current study, we used a murine femur-defect model to study atrophic non unions over a time-course of 10 weeks. Different time points were chosen, to gather insights into the dynamic processes of non-union establishment. Results Histological analyses as well as western blots and qRT-PCR indicated enhanced osteoclast activity throughout the observation period, paralleled by elevated levels of TGF-beta, TNF-alpha, MMP9, MMP13 and RANKL, especially during the early phases of non-union establishment. Interestingly, elevated levels of these mediators decreased markedly over a period of 10 weeks, as inflammatory reaction during non-union establishment seemed to wear out. To our surprise, osteoblastogenesis seemed to be unaffected during early stages of non-union establishment. Conclusion Taken together, we gained first insights into the establishment process of atrophic non unions, in which inflammatory processes accompanied by highly elevated osteoclast activity seem to play a leading role.

Abstract
Differentiation from RAW264.7 cells to osteoclasts rely on many signaling pathways, such as NF-κB, MAPK, Akt and others. However, the specific underlying mechanisms are not clear. Recently, much works have focused on the inhibitory effects of plant derived compounds in the differentiation from RAW264.7 to osteoclasts. However, the specific mechanisms remain unclear. In this paper, we summarize a lot of plant derived compounds which exert blocking effect on the progression of differentiation via signaling pathways.

Abstract
Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is one of the major periodontal pathogens leading to inflammation and alveolar bone resorption. Bone resorption is induced by osteoclasts, which are multinucleated giant cells. Osteoclastic bone resorption is mediated by enhanced receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) signaling. Therefore, the down-regulation of RANKL downstream signals is regarded as an effective therapeutic target in the treatment of bone loss-associated disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether purified bee venom (BV) could attenuate P. gingivalis-induced inflammatory periodontitis and RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation. Inflammatory periodontitis induced by P. gingivalis increased alveolar bone resorption and increased expression of TNF-α and IL-1β, while BV treatment resulted in decreased bone loss and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Similarly, RANKL-induced multinucleated osteoclast differentiation and osteoclast-specific gene expression, such as nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1), cathepsin K, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), and integrin αvβ3 were significantly suppressed by treatment with BV. We show that BV reduces P. gingivalis-induced inflammatory bone loss-related periodontitis in vivo and RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation, activation, and function in vitro. These results suggest that BV exerts positive effects on inflammatory periodontitis associated osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
This chapter describes the isolation, culture, and staining of osteoclasts. The key advantages of this assay are that it allows direct measurement of osteoclast number, bone resorption, as well as yielding good quantities of osteoclasts at defined stages of formation for molecular analysis. An additional focus of this chapter will be the generation of osteoclasts from less conventional animal species and cell lines.

Abstract
Osteoclasts, bone resorbing cells, derive from monocyte/macrophage cell lineage. Increased osteoclast activity is responsible for bone destruction in diseases such as osteoporosis, periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Transglutaminases (TGs), protein crosslinking enzymes, were recently found involved in osteoclastogenesis in vivo, however their mechanisms of action have remained unknown. In this study, we have investigated the role of TG activity in osteoclastogenesis in vitro using four TG inhibitors, NC9, Z006, T101, and monodansyl cadaverine. Our results showed that all TG inhibitors were capable of blocking the entire osteoclastogenesis process. The most potent of the inhibitors, NC9 when added to cultures at different phases of osteoclastogenesis, inhibited differentiation, migration, and fusion of pre-osteoclasts as well as resorption activity of mature osteoclasts. Further investigation into the mechanisms revealed that NC9 increased RhoA levels and blocked podosome belt formation suggesting that TG activity regulates actin dynamics in pre-osteoclasts. The inhibitory effect of NC9 on osteoclastogenesis as well as podosome belt formation was completely reversed with a Rho-family inhibitor Exoenzyme C3. Microtubule architecture, acetylation, and detyrosination of α-tubulin were not affected. Finally, we demonstrated that macrophages and osteoclasts expressed mRNA of three TGs:TG1, TG2, and Factor XIII-A which were all differentially regulated in these cells during differentiation. Immunofluoresence microscopic analysis showed that all three enzymes co-localized to podosomes in osteoclasts. Taken together, our data suggests that TG activity regulates differentiation, migration and fusion of osteoclasts via affecting actin dynamics and that this may involve contribution from all three TG enzymes.

Abstract
REV-ERBs (REV-ERBα and REV-ERBβ) are transcription repressors and circadian regulators. Previous investigations have shown that REV-ERBs repress the expression of target genes, including MMP9 and CX3CR1, in macrophages. Because MMP9 and CX3CR1 reportedly participate in receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis, we inferred that REV-ERBs might play a role in osteoclastogenesis. In the present study, we found that the REV-ERBα level decreased significantly during RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation from primary bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). REV-ERBα knockdown by small interfering RNA in BMMs resulted in the enhanced formation of osteoclasts, whereas REV-ERBβ knockdown showed no effect on osteoclast differentiation. Moreover, the REV-ERB agonist SR9009 inhibited osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. Intraperitoneal SR9009 administration prevented ovariectomy-induced bone loss; this effect was accompanied by decreased serum RANKL and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen levels and increased osteoprotegerin levels. Further investigation revealed that NF-κB and MAPK activation and nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic 1, and c-fos expression were suppressed by SR9009. The level of reactive oxygen species was also decreased by SR9009, with NADPH oxidase subunits also being down-regulated. In addition, an expression microarray showed that FABP4, an intracellular lipid-binding protein, was up-regulated by REV-ERB agonism. BMS309403, an inhibitor of FABP4, partially prevented the suppression of osteoclastogenesis by SR9009 through stabilizing phosphorylation of p65. To summarize, our results proved that the REV-ERB agonism inhibited osteoclastogenesis partially via FABP4 up-regulation.-Song, C., Tan, P., Zhang, Z., Wu, W., Dong, Y., Zhao, L., Liu, H., Guan, H., Li, F.

Barley Seedling Extracts Inhibit RANKL-Induced Differentiation, Fusion, and Maturation of Osteoclasts in the Early-to-Late Stages of Osteoclastogenesis. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2017; 2017:6072573.

Abstract
The number of patients with osteoporosis is increasing worldwide, and a decrease in bone mass is a main risk factor for fracture. The prevention of bone loss is critical for improving the quality of life for patients. However, the long-term use of antiosteoporotic agents is limited due to their side effects. Barley has been traditionally ingested for thousands of years as a safe, natural food with pharmaceutical properties, and its seedling can enhance the biological activity of the medicinal components found in food. This study aimed to clarify the antiresorptive activity of barley seedling and its mode of action. Barley seedling extracts (BSE) dose-dependently inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation with alteration of IκB degradation, c-Fos, and NFATc1 molecules in the early-to-middle stages of osteoclastogenesis. In the late phase of osteoclastogenesis, BSE also prevented DC-STAMP and cathepsin K, which are required for cell fusion and bone degradation, such as osteoclast function. In conclusion, barley seedling from natural foods may provide long-term safety and be useful for the prevention or treatment of osteoclast-mediated bone metabolic diseases, including osteoporosis.

Abstract
To understand the chromatin changes underlying differential gene expression during induced differentiation of human leukemic HL-60/S4 cells, we conducted RNA-Seq analysis on quadruplicate cultures of undifferentiated, granulocytic- and macrophage-differentiated cell forms. More than half of mapped genes exhibited altered transcript levels in the differentiated cell forms. In general, more genes showed increased mRNA levels in the granulocytic form and in the macrophage form, than showed decreased levels. The majority of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways were significantly enriched in genes that exhibited differential transcript levels after either RA or TPA treatment. Changes in transcript levels for groups of genes with characteristic protein phenotypes, such as genes encoding cytoplasmic granular proteins, nuclear envelope and cytoskeletal proteins, cell adhesion proteins, and proteins involved in the cell cycle and apoptosis illustrate the profound differences among the various cell states. In addition to the transcriptome analyses, companion karyotyping by M-FISH of undifferentiated HL-60/S4 cells revealed a plethora of chromosome alterations, compared with normal human cells. The present mRNA profiling provides important information related to nuclear shape changes (e.g., granulocyte lobulation), deformability of the nuclear envelope and linkage between the nuclear envelope and cytoskeleton during induced myeloid chromatin differentiation.

Abstract
DC-STAMP is a multi-pass transmembrane protein essential for cell-cell fusion between osteoclast precursors during osteoclast (OC) development. DC-STAMP-/- mice have mild osteopetrosis and form mononuclear cells with limited resorption capacity. The identification of an Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Inhibitory Motif (ITIM) on the cytoplasmic tail of DC-STAMP suggested a potential signaling function. The absence of a known DC-STAMP ligand, however, has hindered the elucidation of downstream signaling pathways. To address this problem, we engineered a light-activatable DC-STAMP chimeric molecule in which light exposure mimics ligand engagement that can be traced by downstream Ca2+ signaling. Deletion of the cytoplasmic ITIM resulted in a significant elevation in the amplitude and duration of intracellular Ca2+ flux. Decreased NFATc1 expression in DC-STAMP-/- cells was restored by DC-STAMP over-expression. Multiple biological phenotypes including cell-cell fusion, bone erosion, cell mobility, DC-STAMP cell surface distribution, and NFATc1 nuclear translocation were altered by deletion of the ITIM and adjacent amino acids. In contrast, mutations on each of the tyrosine residues surrounding the ITIM showed no effect on DC-STAMP function. Collectively, our results suggest that the ITIM on DC-STAMP is a functional motif that regulates osteoclast differentiation through the NFATc1/Ca2+ axis. J. Cell.

Abstract
Dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP) plays a key role in the induction of osteoclast (OC) cell fusion, as well as DC-mediated immune regulation. While DC-STAMP gene expression is upregulated in the gingival tissue with periodontitis, its pathophysiological roles in periodontitis remain unclear. To evaluate the effects of DC-STAMP in periodontitis, anti-DC-STAMP-monoclonal antibody (mAb) was tested in a mouse model of ligature-induced periodontitis ( n = 6-7/group) where Pasteurella pneumotropica ( Pp)-reactive immune response activated T cells to produce receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL), which, in turn, promotes the periodontal bone loss via upregulation of osteoclastogenesis. DC-STAMP was expressed on the cell surface of mature multinuclear OCs, as well as immature mononuclear OCs, in primary cultures of RANKL-stimulated bone marrow cells. Anti-DC-STAMP-mAb suppressed the emergence of large, but not small, multinuclear OCs, suggesting that DC-STAMP is engaged in the late stage of cell fusion. Anti-DC-STAMP-mAb also inhibited pit formation caused by RANKL-stimulated bone marrow cells. Attachment of ligature to a second maxillary molar induced DC-STAMP messenger RNA and protein, along with elevated tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive (TRAP+) OCs and alveolar bone loss. As we expected, systemic administration of anti-DC-STAMP-mAb downregulated the ligature-induced alveolar bone loss. Importantly, local injection of anti-DC-STAMP-mAb also suppressed alveolar bone loss and reduced the total number of multinucleated TRAP+ cells in mice that received ligature attachment. Attachment of ligature induced significantly elevated tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and RANKL in the gingival tissue compared with the control site without ligature ( P < 0.05), which was unaffected by local injection with either anti-DC-STAMP-mAb or control-mAb. Neither in vivo anti- Pp IgG antibody nor in vitro anti- Pp T-cell response and resultant production of RANKL was affected by anti-DC-STAMP-mAb. This study illustrated the roles of DC-STAMP in promoting local OC cell fusion without affecting adaptive immune responses to oral bacteria. Therefore, it is plausible that a novel therapeutic regimen targeting DC-STAMP could suppress periodontal bone loss.

Osteoclastogenic capacity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells is not different between women with and without osteoporosis. Bone 2017; 95:108-114. [PMID: 27845263 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2016.11.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2016] [Revised: 10/07/2016] [Accepted: 11/10/2016] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) have been extensively used as a culture model to generate osteoclasts in vitro. The aim of this study was to assess the osteoclastogenic potential of PBMCs derived from post-menopausal women with longstanding osteoporosis and compare this with PBMCs from healthy controls. MATERIAL AND METHODS We selected from the population-based Rotterdam Study 82 participants of which 43 were diagnosed with osteoporosis (T-score below -2.5 at the lumbar spine) and the presence of at least 1 fracture and 29 healthy controls (T-score above 1; no fracture). PBMCs were differentiated into osteoclasts, and both differentiation capacity and activity were measured. Total RNA was obtained to assess gene expression of osteoclast markers. Deoxypyridinoline (DPD) was measured in plasma as a marker for bone resorption, in vivo. RESULTS Neither the number of osteoclasts nor cathepsin K (CTSK) and dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (TM7SF4) gene expression was significantly different between both groups. There was also no significant difference in resorption pit area and plasma DPD levels. Stratification by fracture type into a group with vertebral, non-vertebral and both vertebral and non-vertebral fractures showed no difference in osteoclast formation or osteoclastic bone resorption. However, plasma DPD, but not the RNA expression markers, was significantly lower in the group of subjects with vertebral fracture group and those with vertebral and non-vertebral fractures compared to the healthy controls. No differences in osteoclastogenesis, osteoclastic resorption and plasma DPD levels were detected also after exclusion of past or present users of bisphosphonates and glucocorticoids. Stratification into high and low DPD levels showed higher osteoclastogenesis and more osteoclastic bone resorption in the high DPD group compared to the low DPD levels within the group of osteoporotic subjects. CONCLUSION This study showed no difference in PBMC osteoclastogenic capacity and activity between women with and without osteoporosis and at least one previous fracture, who were on average 29.5years after menopause, suggesting that there is no difference in circulating osteoclast precursors. Although we cannot exclude that circulating precursors may behave differently at the bone site, it is possible that long after menopause a more stable phase of bone turnover is reached compared to earlier after the start of menopause in which differences in circulating osteoclast precursors and osteoclastogenic potential are more prominent.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2016; 483:718-724.

Abstract
Sulforaphane (SFN), a kind of isothiocyanate, is derived from broccoli sprouts. It has anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidation activity. The molecular function of SFN in the inhibition of osteoclast differentiation is not well-documented. In this study, we assessed the effect of SFN on osteoclast differentiation in vitro. SFN inhibited osteoclast differentiation in both bone marrow cells and RAW264.7 cells. Key molecules involved in the inhibitory effects of SFN on osteoclast differentiation were determined using a microarray analysis, which showed that SFN inhibits osteoclast-associated genes, such as osteoclast-associated receptor (OSCAR), nuclear factor of activated T cells cytoplasmic-1, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, and cathepsin K. Moreover, the mRNA expression levels of the cell-cell fusion molecules dendritic cell specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP) and osteoclast stimulatory transmembrane protein (OC-STAMP) were strongly suppressed in cells treated with SFN. Furthermore, SFN increased the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1), a regulator of macrophage and osteoclast cell fusion. Thus, our data suggested that SFN significantly inhibits the cell-cell fusion molecules DC-STAMP and OC-STAMP by inducing the phosphorylation of STAT1 (Tyr701), which might be regulated by interactions with OSCAR.

Abstract
Osteoimmunology research is a new emerging research field that investigates the links between the bone and immune responses. Results from osteoimmunology studies suggest that bone is not only an essential component of the musculoskeletal system, but is also actively involved in immune regulation. Many important factors involved in immune regulation also participate in bone homeostasis. Bone homeostasis is achieved by a coordinated action between bone-synthesizing osteoblasts and bone-degrading osteoclasts. An imbalanced action between osteoblasts and osteoclasts often results in pathological bone diseases: osteoporosis is caused by an excessive osteoclast activity, whereas osteopetrosis results from an increased osteoblast activity. This review focuses on dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP), an important protein currently considered as a master regulator of osteoclastogenesis. Of clinical relevance, the frequency of circulating DC-STAMP+ cells is elevated during the pathogenesis of psoriatic diseases. Intriguingly, recent results suggest that DC-STAMP also plays an imperative role in bone homeostasis by regulating the differentiation of both osteoclasts and osteoblasts. This article summarizes our current knowledge on DC-STAMP by focusing on its interacting proteins, its regulation on osteoclastogenesis-related genes, its possible involvement in immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM)-mediated signaling cascade, and its potential of developing therapeutics for clinical applications.

Abstract
The dysbiotic microbiota associated with aggressive periodontitis includes Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, the only oral species known to produce a cytolethal distending toxin (AaCDT). Give that CDT alters the cytokine profile in monocytic cells, we aimed to test the hypothesis that CDT plays a role in bone homeostasis by affecting the differentiation of precursor cells into osteoclasts. Recombinant AaCDT was added to murine bone marrow monocytes (BMMC) in the presence or absence of RANKL and the cell viability and cytokine profile of osteoclast precursor cells were determined. Multinucleated TRAP(+) cell numbers, and relative transcription of genes related to osteoclastogenesis were also evaluated. The addition of AaCDT did not lead to loss in cell viability but promoted an increase in the average number of TRAP(+) cells with 1-2 nuclei in the absence or presence of RANKL (Tukey, p < 0.05). This increase was also observed for TRAP(+) cells with ≥3nuclei, although this difference was not significant. Levels of TGF-β, TNF-α, and IL-6, in the supernatant fraction of cells, were higher when in AaCDT exposed cells, whereas levels of IL-1β and IL-10 were lower than controls under the same conditions. After interaction with AaCDT, transcription of the rank (encoding the receptor RANK), nfatc1 (transcription factor), and ctpK (encoding cathepsin K) genes was downregulated in pre-osteoclastic cells. The data indicated that despite the presence of RANKL and M-CSF, AaCDT may inhibit osteoclast differentiation by altering cytokine profiles and repressing transcription of genes involved in osteoclastogenesis. Therefore, the CDT may impair host defense mechanisms in periodontitis.

Abstract
AIM Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata is a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat chronic arthritis and is highly effective against rheumatoid arthritis. However, the effects of aconine, a derivative of aconitum alkaloids, on osteoclasts, which can absorb bone, remain unknown. Here, we investigated the effects of aconine on osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption in vitro. METHODS The viability of mouse leukemic monocyte/macrophage cell line RAW264.7 was measured using CCK-8 assays. Osteoclast differentiation was induced by incubation of RAW264.7 cells in the presence of RANKL, and assessed with TRAP staining assay. Bone resorption was examined with bone resorption pits assay. The expression of relevant genes and proteins was analyzed using RT-PCR and Western blots. The activation of NF-κB and nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) was examined using stable NF-κB and NFATc1 luciferase reporter gene systems, RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. RESULTS Aconine (0.125, 0.25 μmol/L) did not affect the viability of RAW264.7 cells, but dose-dependently inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast formation and bone resorptive activity. Furthermore, aconine dose-dependently inhibited the RANKL-induced activation of NF-κB and NFATc1 in RAW264.7 cells, and subsequently reduced the expression of osteoclast-specific genes (c-Src, β3-Integrin, cathepsin K and MMP-9) and the expression of dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP), which played an important role in cell-cell fusion. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that aconine inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation in RAW264.7 cells by suppressing the activation of NF-κB and NFATc1 and the expression of the cell-cell fusion molecule DC-STAMP.

Abstract
Interferons (IFNs) play essential roles in regulating osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. Over the last decade, we have seen tremendous developments in our understanding of the mechanisms by which interferons regulate osteoclastogenesis. Of the type I interferons, IFN-β inhibits osteoclastogenesis via autoregulatory or exogenous regulatory mechanisms, while IFN-α was recently shown to participate in regulating osteoclast formation. And the only member of type II interferons, IFN-γ, has biphasic effects on osteoclastogenesis. Type III interferons have also been shown to be involved in osteoclast bone resorption, although no direct regulatory mechanism has been demonstrated. In this review, we provide an update account of the current knowledge on these recently revealed novel roles of interferons in the regulation of a variety of signaling pathways in osteoclast differentiation and function. The potential clinical applications are also discussed.

Abstract
The mitogen activated protein kinase p38 plays a role in the receptor activator of NF-ĸB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation. In this study, we investigated the effect of p38 inhibitor doramapimod on the osteoclast differentiation. Doramapimod significantly inhibited the osteoclastogenesis of bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) via attenuating the activation of p38 induced by M-CSF and RANKL. Importantly, doramapimod blocked the migration and fusion in pre-osteoclasts via the down-regulating NFATc1. The inhibitory effect of doramapimod on the migration/fusion of pre-osteoclasts via inhibiting NFATc1 activity were confirmed by measuring NFATc1 luciferase activity and evaluating the mRNA expression of NFATc1-responsive genes related to the osteoclastic migration/fusion. These results suggested anti-osteoclastogenic activity of doramapimod via inhibiting migration/fusion of pre-osteoclasts and NFATc1 activity.

Abstract
The last step of the osteoclast differentiation process is cell fusion. Most efforts to understand the fusion mechanism have focused on the identification of molecules involved in the fusion process. Surprisingly, the basic fusion modalities, which are well known for fusion of other cell types, are not known for the osteoclast. Here we show that osteoclast fusion partners are characterized by differences in mobility, nuclearity, and differentiation level. Our demonstration was based on time-laps videos of human osteoclast preparations from three donors where 656 fusion events were analyzed. Fusions between a mobile and an immobile partner were most frequent (62%), while fusion between two mobile (26%) or two immobile partners (12%) was less frequent (p<0.001). In general, the immobile fusion partner contained more nuclei than the mobile one (p<0.01). Furthermore, enrichment in nuclei of an osteoclast with three or more nuclei resulted from fusion with a mono-nucleated cell in 67% of the cases (p<0.001), while mono-nucleated cells fused with a multinucleated cell in 61% of the cases (p<0.05). This observation suggested that a more mature osteoclast prefers to fuse with a less mature pre-osteoclast. This hypothesis was supported by a nucleus-tracing approach in a co-culture of more and less differentiated pre-osteoclasts/osteoclasts. Furthermore, we found that osteoclast fusion proceeds through primarily two different types of cell contacts: phagocytic-cup and broad-contact-surfaces (>80% of all fusions). We conclude that osteoclasts most often gain nuclei by addition of one nucleus at a time, and that this nucleus is most often delivered by a moving cell to an immobile cell. These characteristics fit the in vivo observations where mono-nucleated precursors migrating from the bone marrow fuse with more mature osteoclasts sitting on the bone surface. They also fit the fusion modalities of other cell types.

Abstract
Obatoclax, a pan-Bcl2 inhibitor, shows antitumor activities in various solid malignancies. Bcl2-deficient mice have shown the importance of Bcl2 in osteoclasts, as the bone mass of the mice was increased by the induced apoptosis of osteoclasts. Despite the importance of Bcl2, the effects of obatoclax on the proliferation and differentiation of osteoclast precursors have not been studied extensively. Here, we describe the anti-proliferative effects of obatoclax on osteoclast precursors and its negative role on fusion of the cells. Stimulation with low doses of obatoclax significantly suppressed the proliferation of osteoclast precursors in a dose-dependent manner while the apoptosis was markedly increased. Its stimulation was sufficient to block the activation of ERK MAP kinase by RANKL. The same was true when PD98059, an ERK inhibitor, was administered to osteoclast precursors. The activation of JNK1/2 and p38 MAP kinase, necessary for osteoclast differentiation, by RANKL was not affected by obatoclax. Interestingly, whereas the number of TRAP-positive mononuclear cells was increased by both obatoclax and PD98059, fused, multinucleated cells larger than 100 μm in diameter containing more than 20 nuclei were completely reduced. Consistently, obatoclax failed to regulate the expression of osteoclast marker genes, including c-Fos, TRAP, RANK and CtsK. Instead, the expression of DC-STAMP and Atp6v0d2, genes that regulate osteoclast fusion, by RANKL was significantly abrogated by both obatoclax and PD98059. Taken together, these results suggest that obatoclax down-regulates the proliferation and fusion of osteoclast precursors through the inhibition of the ERK1/2 MAP kinase pathway.

Abstract
Macrophage multinucleation (MM) is essential for various biological processes such as osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and multinucleated giant cell-associated inflammatory reactions. Here we study the molecular pathways underlying multinucleation in the rat through an integrative approach combining MS-based quantitative phosphoproteomics (LC-MS/MS) and transcriptome (high-throughput RNA-sequencing) to identify new regulators of MM. We show that a strong metabolic shift toward HIF1-mediated glycolysis occurs at transcriptomic level during MM, together with modifications in phosphorylation of over 50 proteins including several ARF GTPase activators and polyphosphate inositol phosphatases. We use shortest-path analysis to link differential phosphorylation with the transcriptomic reprogramming of macrophages and identify LRRFIP1, SMARCA4, and DNMT1 as novel regulators of MM. We experimentally validate these predictions by showing that knock-down of these latter reduce macrophage multinucleation. These results provide a new framework for the combined analysis of transcriptional and post-translational changes during macrophage multinucleation, prioritizing essential genes, and revealing the sequential events leading to the multinucleation of macrophages.
