Abstract
To explore the mechanisms of action of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-212-3p in the secretion of inflammatory factors in monocyte-macrophages and the directed differentiation into osteoclasts (OCs) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), proteoglycan was used to establish an AS mouse model. The mouse monocyte-macrophages were cultured in vitro, transfected with miR-212-3p mimic, and added with phosphorylated-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK)1/2 agonist Ro67-7476 in vitro. After the cells were transfected with the miR-212-3p mimic in each group, the expressions of p-ERK1/2, matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), MMP-3, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) significantly declined, whereas those of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), calcitonin, and p-nuclear factor of activated T cell 1 (NFATC1) significantly rose. After Ro67-7476 was added, the protein expressions of p-ERK1/2, MMP-1, MMP-3, IL-1β, and TNF-α were significantly increased in each group, but they displayed decreasing trends in cells transfected with the miR-212-3p mimic. In contrast, the protein expressions of TRAP, calcitonin, and p-NFATC1 declined, but they showed increasing trends in cells transfected with the miR-212-3p mimic. miR-212-3p can, through inhibiting the phosphorylation of p-ERK1/2, prevent the aggregation of macrophages and the secretion of inflammatory factors. It also up-regulates the expression of OC marker proteins to facilitate the differentiation and maturation of OCs, ultimately relieving AS-induced inflammation and new bone growth-induced joint neoplasm.

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
The majority of giant cell lesions of the jaw present as a solitary focus of disease in bones of the maxillofacial skeleton. Less frequently they occur as multifocal lesions. This raises the clinical dilemma if these should be considered distinct entities and therefore each need a specific therapeutic approach. Solitary giant cell lesions of the jaw present with a great diversity of symptoms. Recent molecular analysis revealed that these are associated with somatic gain-of-function mutations in KRAS, FGFR1 or TRPV4 in a large component of the mononuclear stromal cells which all act on the RAS/MAPK pathway. For multifocal lesions, a small group of neoplastic multifocal giant cell lesions of the jaw remain after ruling out hyperparathyroidism. Strikingly, most of these patients are diagnosed with jaw lesions before the age of 20 years, thus before the completion of dental and jaw development. These multifocal lesions are often accompanied by a diagnosis or strong clinical suspicion of a syndrome. Many of the frequently reported syndromes belong to the so-called RASopathies, with germline or mosaic mutations leading to downstream upregulation of the RAS/MAPK pathway. The other frequently reported syndrome is cherubism, with gain-of-function mutations in the SH3BP2 gene leading through assumed and unknown signaling to an autoinflammatory bone disorder with hyperactive osteoclasts and defective osteoblastogenesis. Based on this extensive literature review, a RAS/MAPK pathway activation is hypothesized in all giant cell lesions of the jaw. The different interaction between and contribution of deregulated signaling in individual cell lineages and crosstalk with other pathways among the different germline- and non-germline-based alterations causing giant cell lesions of the jaw can be explanatory for the characteristic clinical features. As such, this might also aid in the understanding of the age-dependent symptomatology of syndrome associated giant cell lesions of the jaw; hopefully guiding ideal timing when installing treatment strategies in the future.

Abstract
Bone homeostasis is preserved by the balance of maintaining between the activity of osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. However, investigations for the osteoclastogenesis were hampered by considerable difficulties associated with isolating and culturing osteoclast in vivo. As the alternative, stimuli‐induced osteoclasts formation from RAW264.7 cells (RAW‐OCs) have gain its importance for extensively osteoclastogenic study of bone diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, osteolysis and periodontitis. However, considering the RAW‐OCs have not yet been well‐characterized and RAW264.7 cells are polymorphic because of a diverse phenotype of the individual cells comprising this cell linage, and different fate associated with various stimuli contributions. Thus, in present study, we provide an overview for current knowledge of the phenotype of RAW264.7 cells, as well as the current understanding of the complicated interactions between various stimuli and RAW‐OCs in the light of the recent progress.

Abstract
Background Davallia formosana Hayata is a herb that has been used in Chinese medicine to treat bone diseases, including arthritis, bone fractures and osteoporosis. The rhizome of D. formosana H. has been found to be rich in (−)-Epicatechin 3-O-β-d-allopyranoside (ECAP), which is considered to be the active component of the plant in terms of its antiosteoporotic effect. This study investigated the molecular mechanism of the antiosteoporotic property of ECAP isolated from the roots of D. formosana H. using both in vitro and in vivo models. Methods We studied the effects of ECAP on the signaling pathways of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-stimulated osteoclastogenesis and ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis. In the in vitro study, the inhibitory action of ECAP on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and the expression of osteoclast-related marker genes were investigated, and in the in vivo study, the effects of ECAP on bone were evaluated using ovariectomized (OVX) mice orally-administered ECAP for 4 weeks. Results We demonstrated that ECAP dose-dependently inhibited RANKL- and nuclear factor of activated T-cells, and cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc-1)-induced osteoclastogenesis by RAW 264.7 cells, and reduced the extent of bone resorption. Furthermore, μCT images and TRAP staining showed that oral administration of ECAP to OVX mice prevented bone loss. ECAP administration also exerted recovery effects on serum C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen and osteocalcin levels in OVX mice. In addition, we also found that MMP-9 expression was decreased in vivo and in vitro. Conclusions Overall, our findings suggested that ECAP suppresses RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis through NF-κB and NFATc-1 signaling pathways, and has the potential for use in osteoporosis treatment.

Abstract
Osteolytic bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, are characterized by diminished bone quality and increased fracture risk. The therapeutic challenge remains to maintain bone homeostasis with a balance between osteoclast-mediated resorption and osteoblast-mediated formation. Osteoclasts are formed by the fusion of monocyte/macrophage-derived precursors. Here we report, to our knowledge for the first time, that receptor-interacting protein 140 (RIP140) expression in osteoclast precursors and its protein regulation are crucial for osteoclast differentiation, activity, and coupled bone formation. In mice, monocyte/macrophage-specific knockdown of RIP140 (mϕRIP140KD) resulted in a cancellous osteopenic phenotype with significantly increased bone resorption and reduced bone formation. Osteoclast precursors isolated from mϕRIP140KD mice had significantly increased differentiation potential. Furthermore, conditioned media from mϕRIP140KD primary osteoclast cultures significantly suppressed osteoblast differentiation. This suppressive activity was effectively and rapidly terminated by specific Syk-stimulated RIP140 protein degradation. Mechanistic analysis revealed that RIP140 functions primarily by inhibiting osteoclast differentiation through forming a transcription-suppressor complex with testicular receptor 4 (TR4) to repress osteoclastogenic genes. These data reveal that monocyte/macrophage RIP140/TR4 complexes may serve as a critical transcription regulatory complex maintaining homeostasis of osteoclast differentiation, activity, and coupling with osteoblast formation. Accordingly, we propose a potentially novel therapeutic strategy, specifically targeting osteoclast precursor RIP140 protein in osteolytic bone diseases.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer is the most common, and second most lethal, gynecological malignancy, and its rates of incidence and death are growing. This is likely attributable to increased numbers of high-risk type II endometrial cancers which account for ~30% of cases but ~75% of deaths due to their aggressive and metastatic behaviour. Histopathological and in vitro functional studies suggest that aberrant TGFβ1 signaling may contribute to endometrial cancer development and the acquisition of invasive/metastatic characteristics. However, little is known about the cellular and molecular mechanisms of TGFβ1 in high-risk endometrial cancers. In the present study, we examined the roles and mechanisms of TGFβ1 on cell adhesion and motility in type II endometrial cancer cell lines, KLE and HEC-1B. We show that treatment with TGFβ1 increases cell adhesion to vitronectin and transwell cell migration. We also demonstrate that TGFβ1 treatment increases integrin β3 and αv mRNA and protein levels via SMAD-independent MEK-ERK1/2 signaling. Importantly, siRNA depletion or antibody-mediated blocking of integrin αvβ3 reversed the effects of TGFβ1 on cell adhesion and migration. Our results suggest that TGFβ1-MEK-ERK1/2-integrin αvβ3 signaling could contribute to the invasive behaviour of high-risk endometrial cancer by promoting cell adhesion and migration.

Abstract
The triazole family of compounds has been implicated in modulating various biological processes such as inflammation, tumorigenesis, and infection. To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate the effects of 1,2,3-triazole substituted biarylacrylonitrile compounds, including KP-A021, on the differentiation and function of osteoclasts. KP-A021 and its triazole derivatives, at a concentration that does not cause a cytotoxic response in bone marrow macrophages (BMMs), significantly inhibited osteoclast differentiation induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) as assessed by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. KP-A021 also dramatically inhibited the expression of marker genes associated with osteoclast differentiation, such as TRAP, cathepsin K (Cat K), dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP), and nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1). Furthermore, KP-A021 inhibited actin ring formation in osteoclasts as well as resorption pit formation induced by osteoclasts. Analysis of the signaling pathway for KP-A021 indicated that this triazole compound inhibited the RANKL-induced activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and its upstream signaling molecule, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase1/2 (MEK1/2). Taken together, these results demonstrate that KP-A021 has an inhibitory effect on the differentiation and function of osteoclasts via modulation of the RANKL-induced activation of the MEK-ERK pathway.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are critical for bone resorption and use podosomes to attach to bone matrix. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a negative regulator of osteoclast function that can affect the formation and function of podosomes. However, the signaling pathways that link OPG to podosome function have not been well characterized. Therefore, this study examined the roles of intracellular calcium and MAPKs in OPG-induced podosome disassembly in osteoclasts. We assessed the effects of the intracellular calcium chelator Bapta-AM, ERK inhibitor U0126, and p38 inhibitor SB202190 on OPG-treated osteoclast differentiation, adhesion structures, intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration and the phosphorylation state of podosome associated proteins (Pyk2 and Src). Mouse monocytic RAW 264.7 cells were differentiated to osteoclasts using RANKL (30ng/mL) and M-CSF (25ng/mL). The cells were pretreated with Bapta-AM (5μM), U0126 (5μM), or SB202190 (10μM) for 30min, followed by 40ng/mL OPG for 3h. Osteoclastogenesis, adhesion structure, viability and morphology, intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration and the phosphorylation state of Pyk2 and Src were measured by TRAP staining, scanning electron microscopy, real-time cell analyzer, flow cytometry and western blotting, respectively. OPG significantly inhibited osteoclastogenesis, the formation of adhesion structures, and reduced the amount of phosphorylated Pyk2 and Src-pY527, but increased phosphorylation of Src-pY416. Bapta-AM, U0126, and SB202190 partially restored osteoclast differentiation and adhesion structures. Both Bapta-AM and U0126, but not SB202190, restored the levels of intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration, phosphorylated Pyk2 and Src-pY527. All three inhibitors blocked OPG-induced phosphorylation at Src-pY416. These results suggest OPG disrupts the attachment structures of osteoclasts and activates Src as an adaptor protein that competes for the reduced amount of phosphorylated Pyk2 through calcium- and ERK-dependent signaling pathways. p38 MAPK signaling may have a different role in OPG-induced osteoclast retraction. Our findings potentially offer novel insights into the signaling mechanisms downstream of OPG that affect osteoclast attachment to the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
Background KMUP-1 is a xanthine derivative with inhibitory activities on the phosphodiesterase (PDE) 3,4 and 5 isoenzymes to suppress the degradation of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP. However, the effects of KMUP-1 on osteoclast differentiation are still unclear. In this study, we investigated whether KMUP-1 inhibits osteoclastogenesis induced by RANKL in RAW 264.7 cells and bone loss induced by ovariectomy in mice, and the underlying mechanisms. Principal Findings In vitro, KMUP-1 inhibited RANKL-induced TRAP activity, the formation of multinucleated osteoclasts and resorption-pit formation. It also inhibited key mediators of osteoclastogenesis including IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and HMGB1. In addition, KMUP-1 inhibited RANKL-induced activation of signaling molecules (Akt, MAPKs, calcium and NF-κB), mRNA expression of osteoclastogensis-associated genes (TRAP, MMP-9, Fra-1, and cathepsin K) and transcription factors (c-Fos and NFATc1). Furthermore, most inhibitory effects of KMUP-1 on RANKL-mediated signal activations were reversed by a protein kinase A inhibitor (H89) and a protein kinase G inhibitor (KT5823). In vivo, KMUP-1 prevented loss of bone mineral content, preserved serum alkaline phosphate and reduced serum osteocalcin in ovariectomized mice. Conclusions KMUP-1 inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in vitro and protects against ovariectomy-induced bone loss in vivo. These effects are mediated, at least in part, by cAMP and cGMP pathways. Therefore, KMUP-1 may have a role in pharmacologic therapy of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Dual immunoglobulin (Ig) domain-containing adhesion molecule (DICAM) is involved in cell-cell adhesion through a heterophilic interaction with αVβ3 integrin, which suggests that DICAM may participate in osteoclast differentiation. DICAM was localized in the plasma membrane of RAW264.7 and THP-1 cells, and its expression gradually increased during osteoclastogenesis in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) treated with receptor activator of nuclear factor κ-B ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). Forced expression of DICAM in BMMs and RAW264.7 cells blocked the generation of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclasts. Conversely, knockdown of DICAM by small hairpin RNA (shRNA) increased osteoclast formation in RAW264.7 cells. DICAM-mediated suppression of osteoclast differentiation was in part due to the inhibition of the p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway, which was corroborated by a decrease in the expression of c-Fos and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)c1. Mechanistically, DICAM directly interacted with integrin β3, which inhibited heterodimerization between integrin αV and β3. Exogenous expression of integrin β3 or high-dose M-CSF rescued DICAM-mediated inhibition of osteoclastogenesis, suggesting crosstalk between the integrin β3 and c-Fms pathways. Finally, recombinant DICAM ectodomain suppressed the RANKL- and M-CSF-induced osteoclastogenesis of BMMs. Collectively, these results indicate that DICAM acts as a negative regulator of osteoclast differentiation by suppressing the integrin αVβ3 pathway.

Abstract
The extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1 and 2) are widely-expressed and they modulate proliferation, survival, differentiation, and protein synthesis in multiple cell lineages. Altered ERK1/2 signaling is found in several genetic diseases with skeletal phenotypes, including Noonan syndrome, Neurofibromatosis type 1, and Cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome, suggesting that MEK-ERK signals regulate human skeletal development. Here, we examine the consequence of Erk1 and Erk2 disruption in multiple functions of osteoclasts, specialized macrophage/monocyte lineage-derived cells that resorb bone. We demonstrate that Erk1 positively regulates osteoclast development and bone resorptive activity, as genetic disruption of Erk1 reduced osteoclast progenitor cell numbers, compromised pit formation, and diminished M-CSF-mediated adhesion and migration. Moreover, WT mice reconstituted long-term with Erk1−/− bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) demonstrated increased bone mineral density as compared to recipients transplanted with WT and Erk2−/− BMMNCs, implicating marrow autonomous, Erk1-dependent osteoclast function. These data demonstrate Erk1 plays an important role in osteoclast functions while providing rationale for the development of Erk1-specific inhibitors for experimental investigation and/or therapeutic modulation of aberrant osteoclast function.

Abstract
TGF-β Inducible Early Gene-1 (TIEG1) is a Krüppel-like transcription factor (KLF10) that was originally cloned from human osteoblasts as an early response gene to TGF-β treatment. As reported previously, TIEG1(-/-) mice have decreased cortical bone thickness and vertebral bone volume and have increased spacing between the trabeculae in the femoral head relative to wildtype controls. Here, we have investigated the role of TIEG1 in osteoclasts to further determine their potential role in mediating this phenotype. We have found that TIEG1(-/-) osteoclast precursors differentiated more slowly compared to wildtype precursors in vitro and high RANKL doses are able to overcome this defect. We also discovered that TIEG1(-/-) precursors exhibit defective RANKL-induced phosphorylation and accumulation of NFATc1 and the NFATc1 target gene DC-STAMP. Higher RANKL concentrations reversed defective NFATc1 signaling and restored differentiation. After differentiation, wildtype osteoclasts underwent apoptosis more quickly than TIEG1(-/-) osteoclasts. We observed increased AKT and MEK/ERK signaling pathway activation in TIEG1(-/-) osteoclasts, consistent with the roles of these kinases in promoting osteoclast survival. Adenoviral delivery of TIEG1 (AdTIEG1) to TIEG1(-/-) cells reversed the RANKL-induced NFATc1 signaling defect in TIEG1(-/-) precursors and eliminated the differentiation and apoptosis defects. Suppression of TIEG1 with siRNA in wildtype cells reduced differentiation and NFATc1 activation. Together, these data provide evidence that TIEG1 controls osteoclast differentiation by reducing NFATc1 pathway activation and reduces osteoclast survival by suppressing AKT and MEK/ERK signaling.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily members are abundant with diverse functions including cell adhesion in various tissues. Here, we identified and characterized a novel adhesion molecule that belongs to the CTX protein family and named as DICAM (Dual Ig domain containing cell adhesion molecule). DICAM is a type I transmembrane protein with two V-type Ig domains in the extracellular region and a short cytoplasmic tail of 442 amino acids. DICAM is found to be expressed ubiquitously in various organs and cell lines. Subcellular localization of DICAM was observed in the cell-cell contact region and nucleus of cultured epithelial cells. Cell-cell contact region was colocalized with tight junction protein, ZO-1. The DICAM increased MDCK cell adhesion to 60% levels of fibronectin. DICAM mediated cell adhesion was specific for the alphavbeta3 integrin; other integrins, alpha2, alpha5, beta1, alpha2beta1, alpha5beta1, were not involved in cell adhesion. In identifying the interacting domain of DICAM with alphavbeta3, the Ig domain 2 showed higher cell adhesion activity than that of Ig domain 1. Although RGD motif in Ig domain 2 was engaged in cell adhesion, it was not participated in DICAM-alphavbeta3 mediated cell adhesion. Furthermore, differentially expressing DICAM stable cells showed well correlated cell to cell adhesion capability with integrin beta3-overexpressing cells. Collectively, these results indicate that DICAM, a novel dual Ig domain containing adhesion molecule, mediates cell adhesion via alphavbeta3 integrin.

Abstract
Osteolytic bone disease in multiple myeloma (MM) is associated with upregulation of osteoclast (OCL) activity and constitutive inhibition of osteoblast function. The extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) pathway mediates OCL differentiation and maturation. We hypothesized that inhibition of ERK1/2 could prevent OCL differentiation and downregulate OCL function. It was found that AZD6244, a mitogen-activated or extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitor, blocked OCL differentiation and formation in a dose-dependent manner, evidenced by decreased alphaVbeta3-integrin expression and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase positive (TRAP+) cells. Functional dentine disc cultures showed inhibition of OCL-induced bone resorption by AZD6244. Major MM growth and survival factors produced by OCLs including B-cell activation factor (BAFF) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), as well as macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP-1alpha), which mediates OCL differentiation and MM, were also significantly inhibited by AZD6244. In addition to ERK inhibition, NFATc1 (nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic, calcineurin-dependent 1) and c-fos were both downregulated, suggesting that AZD6244 targets a later stage of OCL differentiation. These results indicate that AZD6244 inhibits OCL differentiation, formation and bone resorption, thereby abrogating paracrine MM cell survival in the bone marrow microenvironment. The present study therefore provides a preclinical rationale for the evaluation of AZD6244 as a potential new therapy for patients with MM.

Abstract
Integrins link the inside of a cell with its outside environment and in doing so regulate a wide variety of cell behaviors. Integrins are well known for their roles in angiogenesis and cell migration but their functions in bone formation are less clear. The majority of integrin signaling proceeds through focal adhesion kinase (FAK), an essential component of the focal adhesion complex. We generated transgenic mice in which FAK was deleted in osteoblasts and uncovered a previously unknown role in osteoblast differentiation associated with bone healing. FAK mutant cells migrated to the site of skeletal injury and angiogenesis was unaffected yet the transgenic mice still exhibited numerous defects in reparative bone formation. Osteoblast differentiation itself was unperturbed by the loss of FAK, whereas the attachment of osteoclasts to the bone matrix was disrupted in vivo. We postulate that defective bi-directional integrin signaling affects the organization of the collagen matrix. Finally, we present a compensatory candidate molecule, Pyk2, which localized to the focal adhesions in osteoblasts that were lacking FAK.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is recognized as a major concern among menopausal women and the elderly. When estrogen is reduced in the body, local factors such as IL-1beta, IL-6 and PGE2, which are known to be related to bone resorption, are increased and promote osteoclastogenesis, which is responsible for bone resorption and results in the clinical disorder osteoporosis. In this study, we investigated the anti-osteoporotic activity of Ficus erecta. MG-63 cells were stimulated with IL-1beta (10 ng/mL) to induce osteoporotic factors (IL-6, COX-2 and PGE2) and RAW 264.7 cells were stimulated with RANKL (100 ng/mL) to induce their differentiation into osteoclasts. We found F. erecta fractions decreased the mRNA expression of IL-6 and COX-2, and protein levels of COX-2 and PGE2 production. Among sequential solvent fractions, hexane and EtOAc fractions decreased differentiation into osteoclasts of RAW 264.7 cells. These results suggest that F. erecta may have significant effects on osteoporotic factors and may be provided as a possible anti-osteoporotic therapeutic plant.

Abstract
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK) is a major down stream mediator of Ca(2+) signaling in a wide range of cellular functions, including ion channel and cell cycle regulation and neurotransmitter synthesis and release. Here we have investigated the role of the CaMK signaling pathway in osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. We observed that the CaMKI, CaMKII gamma isoforms were present in both bone-marrow derived macrophages and RAW264.7 murine macrophage cell line, and that expression persisted during osteoclast differentiation in the presence of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) ligand (RANKL). RANKL-induced differentiation was accompanied by increased cyclic AMP response element transcriptional activity, and ERK phosphorylation, which are both downstream targets of CaMK. Two selective inhibitors of CaMKs, KN-93 and KN-62, inhibited osteoclastogenesis in a time and concentration-dependent manner. This was accompanied by suppression of cathepsin K expression and osteoclastic bone resorption, which are markers for differentiated osteoclast function. KN-93 and KN-62 both inhibited RANKL-induced ERK phosphorylation and CREB transcriptional activity. These findings imply a role for CaMK in osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption.

Abstract
Although glucocorticoids are known to affect osteoclast differentiation and function, there have been conflicting reports about the effect of glucocorticoids on osteoclast formation, leading to the assumption that microenvironment and cell type influence their action. We explored the effect of the synthetic glucocorticoid analog dexamethasone on the formation of osteoclasts. Dexamethasone inhibited the formation of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated osteoclasts without affecting the formation of TRAP-positive mononuclear cells in a coculture of mouse osteoblasts and bone marrow cells. Dexamethasone did not inhibit mRNA expression levels of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand and osteoprotegerin, the essential regulators of osteoclastogenesis. Dexamethasone down-regulated the expression of beta3 integrin mRNA and protein but did not alter expression of other osteoclast differentiation marker genes. Both dexamethasone and echistatin, a beta3 integrin function blocker, inhibited TRAP-positive multinucleated osteoclast formation but not TRAP-positive mononuclear cell formation. These results suggest that dexamethasone inhibits the formation of multinucleated osteoclasts, at least in part, through the down-regulation of beta3 integrin, which plays an important role in the formation of multinucleated osteoclasts.

Abstract
The constitutive secretion of latent TGF-beta by many cell types in culture suggests that extracellular mechanisms to control the activity of this potent cytokine are important in the pathogenesis of the diseases in which this cytokine may be involved, including fibrotic disorders. In this study, we focused on the alpha(v)beta3 integrin, which is recently demonstrated to function as an active receptor for latent TGF-beta1 through its interaction with latency-associated peptide-beta1, and investigated the involvement of this integrin in the pathogenesis of scleroderma. Scleroderma fibroblasts exhibited increased alpha(v)beta3 expression compared with normal fibroblasts in vivo and in vitro. In scleroderma fibroblasts, ERK pathway was constitutively activated and such abnormality induced the up-regulation of alpha(v)beta3. Transient overexpression of alpha(v)beta3 in normal fibroblasts induced the increase in the promoter activity of human alpha2(I) collagen gene and the decrease in that of human MMP-1 gene. These effects of alpha(v)beta3 were almost completely abolished by the treatment with anti-TGF-beta Ab or TGF-beta1 antisense oligonucleotide. Furthermore, the addition of anti-alpha(v)beta3) Ab reversed the expression of type I procollagen protein and MMP-1 protein, the promoter activity of human alpha2(I) collagen gene, and the myofibroblastic phenotype in scleroderma fibroblasts. These results suggest that the up-regulated expression of alpha(v)beta3 contributes to the establishment of autocrine TGF-beta loop in scleroderma fibroblasts, and this integrin is a potent target for the treatment of scleroderma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate whether activation of MAPK subtypes ERK and p38 influences integrin expression and promotes nucleus pulposus cell survival in hypoxia. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA We have recently shown that in a low oxygen environment, rat nucleus pulposus cells activate phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt (PI3K/Akt) and mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) signaling pathways. However, the role of these signaling pathways in regulating cell matrix interactions is not known. METHODS Rat nucleus pulposus cells were cultured in hypoxia (2% O2) or normoxia (20% O2). Western blotting and kinase assay were used to analyze expression of MAPK signaling molecules. Cell attachment to collagen was studied using an adhesion assay, whereas flow cytometry and RT-PCR were performed to quantify integrin receptor expression. RESULTS In a hypoxic environment (2% O2), rat nucleus pulposus cells showed a persistent phosphorylation of p38 and ERK proteins; pERK catalyzed the phosphorylation of Elk1-Gst fusion protein. When ERK activity was blocked, cell adhesion to Type II collagen, one of the major extracellular matrix proteins in the nucleus pulposus tissue, was impaired. A similar inhibitory effect on collagen adhesion was observed when nucleus pulposus cells were treated with an antibody to alpha2 integrin. Furthermore, when ERK activity was inhibited, there was a decrease in alpha2 integrin mRNA expression. In contrast to ERK, inhibition of p38 activity did not modulate alpha2 integrin subunit mRNA expression. Likewise, inhibition of ERK, but not p38, resulted in downregulation of nucleus pulposus alpha2 integrin protein levels and blocked cell survival in hypoxia. CONCLUSIONS Hypoxia activated MAPK signaling pathway activity in nucleus pulposus cells. ERK, but not p38, regulated alpha2 integrin expression and cell survival.

Abstract
We identified a novel protein kinase C (PKC)α-dependent signal to extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 in mouse osteoclasts and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, specifically activated by the αVβ3 integrin. It involves translocation (i.e. activation) of PKCα from the cytosol to the membrane and/or the Triton X-100-insoluble subcellular fractions, with recruitment into a complex with αVβ3 integrin, growth factor receptor-bound protein (Grb2), focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in CHO cells and proline-rich tyrosine kinase (PYK2) in osteoclasts. Engagement of αvβ3 integrin triggered ERK1/2 phosphorylation, but the underlying molecular mechanism was surprisingly independent of the well known Shc/Ras/Raf-1 cascade, and of phosphorylated MAP/ERK kinase (MEK)1/2, so far the only recognized direct activator of ERK1/2. In contrast, PKCα was involved in ERK1/2 activation because inhibition of its activity prevented ERK1/2 phosphorylation. The tyrosine kinase c-Src also contributed to ERK1/2 activation, however, it did not interact with PKCα in the same molecular complex. The αVβ3/PKCα complex formation was fully dependent upon the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i), and the use of the intracellular Ca2+ chelator 1,2-bis(o-amino-phenoxy)ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraaceticacidtetra (acetoxymethyl) ester (BAPTA-AM) also inhibited PKCα translocation and ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Functional studies showed that αVβ3 integrin-activated PKCα was involved in cell migration and osteoclast bone resorption, but had no effect on the ability of cells to attach to LM609, suggesting a role in events downstream of αVβ3 integrin engagement.

Abstract
Leptin is a 16-kDa multifunctional protein. Recent reports indicate that leptin is an important molecule during implantation and placentation, implicated in embryonic-maternal cross-talk and cytotrophoblast invasiveness, however, the role of leptin playing in the process of normal blastocyst implantation has not been well characterized. In the present study, the possible mechanisms of leptin playing in mouse blastocyst implantation were investigated. Leptin and receptor isoforms mRNAs were detected in whole mouse uteri during estrous cycle and peri-implantation periods. Immunofluorescent analysis further confirmed Ob-R protein was present in mouse uterus. The differential amounts of leptin and Ob-R isoforms suggested a role for leptin in such endometrial issues as blastocyst implantation. In vitro culture model for studying embryo implantation, leptin promoted mouse blastocyst adhesion and blastocyst outgrowth on fibronectin. Blastocysts treated with 300 ng/ml leptin had the greatest adhesion rate of 76.58+/-6.41% (P=0.046), and blastocysts treated with 30 ng/ml leptin had the greatest outgrowth rate of 78.64+/-8.48% (P=0.005). In isolated endometrial epithelial cells, leptin upregulated amounts of alpha v and beta 3 integrin, and promoted cell adhesion to such extracellular matrix proteins as fibronectin, laminin and type IV collagen, showing a dose- and time-dependent cell-adhesive capacity. Collectively, the information from the present study may partly account for leptin-induced mouse blatocyst implantation.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) stimulates smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation, and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway plays an important role in mediating IGF-I-induced mitogenic signaling. Our prior studies have shown that recruitment of Src homology 2 domain tyrosine phosphatase (SHP-2) to the membrane scaffolding protein Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase substrate-1 (SHPS-1) is required for IGF-I-dependent MAPK activation. The current studies were undertaken to define the upstream signaling components that are required for IGF-I-stimulated MAPK activation and the role of SHPS-1 in regulating this process. The results show that IGF-I-induced Shc phosphorylation and its subsequent binding to Grb2 is required for sustained phosphorylation of MAPK and increased cell proliferation in SMCs. Furthermore, for Shc to be phosphorylated in response to IGF-I requires that Shc must associate with SHPS-1 and this association is mediated in part by SHP-2. Preincubation of cells with a peptide that contains a phospho-tyrosine binding motif sequence derived from SHPS-1 inhibited IGF-I-stimulated SHP-2 transfer to SHPS-1, the association of Shc with SHPS-1, and IGF-I-dependent Shc phosphorylation. Expression of an SHPS-1 mutant that did not bind to Shc or SHP-2 resulted in decreased Shc and MAPK phosphorylation in response to IGF-I. In addition, SMCs expressing a mutant form of the beta3 subunit of the alphaVbeta3, which results in impairment of SHP-2 transfer to SHPS-1, also showed attenuated IGF-I-dependent Shc and MAPK phosphorylation. Further analysis showed that Shc and SHP-2 can be coimmunoprecipitated after IGF-I stimulation. A cell-permeable peptide that contained a polyproline sequence from Shc selectively inhibited Shc/SHP-2 association and impaired Shc but not SHP-2 binding to SHPS-1. Exposure to this peptide also inhibited IGF-I-stimulated Shc and MAPK phosphorylation. Cells expressing a mutant form of Shc with the four prolines substituted with alanines showed no Shc/SHPS-1 association in response to IGF-I. We conclude that SHPS-1 functions as an anchor protein that recruits both Shc and SHP-2 and that their recruitment is necessary for IGF-I-dependent Shc phosphorylation, which is required for an optimal mitogenic response in SMCs.
