Differential Gene Expression Involved in Bone Turnover of Mice Expressing Constitutively Active TGFβ Receptor Type I. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:5829. [PMID: 38892016 PMCID: PMC11173332 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25115829] [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: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is ubiquitously found in bone and plays a key role in bone turnover. Mice expressing constitutively active TGF-β receptor type I (Mx1;TβRICA mice) are osteopenic. Here, we identified the candidate genes involved in bone turnover in Mx1;TβRICA mice using RNA sequencing analysis. A total of 285 genes, including 87 upregulated and 198 downregulated genes, were differentially expressed. According to the KEGG analysis, some genes were involved in osteoclast differentiation (Fcgr4, Lilrb4a), B cell receptor signaling (Cd72, Lilrb4a), and neutrophil extracellular trap formation (Hdac7, Padi4). Lilrb4 is related to osteoclast inhibition protein, whereas Hdac7 is a Runx2 corepressor that regulates osteoblast differentiation. Silencing Lilrb4 increased the number of osteoclasts and osteoclast marker genes. The knocking down of Hdac7 increased alkaline phosphatase activity, mineralization, and osteoblast marker genes. Therefore, our present study may provide an innovative idea for potential therapeutic targets and pathways in TβRI-associated bone loss.

Abstract
Mast cells have been linked to osteoporosis and bone fractures, and in a previous study we found that mice lacking a major mast cell protease, chymase, develop increased diaphyseal bone mass. These findings introduce the possibility that mast cell chymase can regulate bone formation, but the underlying mechanism(s) has not previously been investigated. Here we hypothesized that chymase might exert such effects through a direct negative impact on osteoblasts, i.e., the main bone-building cells. Indeed, we show that chymase has a distinct impact on human primary osteoblasts. Firstly, chymase was shown to have pronounced effects on the morphological features of osteoblasts, including extensive cell contraction and actin reorganization. Chymase also caused a profound reduction in the output of collagen from the osteoblasts, and was shown to degrade osteoblast-secreted fibronectin and to activate pro-matrix metallopeptidase-2 released by the osteoblasts. Further, chymase was shown to have a preferential impact on the gene expression, protein output and phosphorylation status of TGFβ-associated signaling molecules. A transcriptomic analysis was conducted and revealed a significant effect of chymase on several genes of importance for bone metabolism, including a reduction in the expression of osteoprotegerin, which was confirmed at the protein level. Finally, we show that chymase interacts with human osteoblasts and is taken up by the cells. Altogether, the present findings provide a functional link between mast cell chymase and osteoblast function, and can form the basis for a further evaluation of chymase as a potential target for intervention in metabolic bone diseases.

Abstract
Bone remodeling replaces old and damaged bone with new bone through a sequence of cellular events occurring on the same surface without any change in bone shape. It was initially thought that the basic multicellular unit (BMU) responsible for bone remodeling consists of osteoclasts and osteoblasts functioning through a hierarchical sequence of events organized into distinct stages. However, recent discoveries have indicated that all bone cells participate in BMU formation by interacting both simultaneously and at different differentiation stages with their progenitors, other cells, and bone matrix constituents. Therefore, bone remodeling is currently considered a physiological outcome of continuous cellular operational processes optimized to confer a survival advantage. Bone remodeling defines the primary activities that BMUs need to perform to renew successfully bone structural units. Hence, this review summarizes the current understanding of bone remodeling and future research directions with the aim of providing a clinically relevant biological background with which to identify targets for therapeutic strategies in osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bone mineral density, a bone matrix parameter frequently used to predict fracture risk, is not the only one to affect bone fragility. Other factors, including the extracellular matrix (ECM) composition and microarchitecture, are of paramount relevance in this process. The bone ECM is a noncellular three-dimensional structure secreted by cells into the extracellular space, which comprises inorganic and organic compounds. The main inorganic components of the ECM are calcium-deficient apatite and trace elements, while the organic ECM consists of collagen type I and noncollagenous proteins. Bone ECM dynamically interacts with osteoblasts and osteoclasts to regulate the formation of new bone during regeneration. Thus, the composition and structure of inorganic and organic bone matrix may directly affect bone quality. Moreover, proteins that compose ECM, beyond their structural role have other crucial biological functions, thanks to their ability to bind multiple interacting partners like other ECM proteins, growth factors, signal receptors and adhesion molecules. Thus, ECM proteins provide a complex network of biochemical and physiological signals. Herein, we summarize different ECM factors that are essential to bone strength besides, discussing how these parameters are altered in pathological conditions related with bone fragility.

Abstract
Proper bone remodeling necessarily requires that osteoblasts reconstruct the bone that osteoclasts have resorbed. However, the cellular events connecting resorption to reconstruction have remained poorly known. The consequence is a fragmentary understanding of the remodeling cycle where only the resorption and formation steps are taken into account. New tools have recently made possible to elucidate how resorption shifts to formation, thereby allowing to comprehend the remodeling cycle as a whole. This new knowledge is reviewed herein. It shows how teams of osteoclasts and osteoblast lineage cells are progressively established and how they are subjected therein to reciprocal interactions. Contrary to the common view, osteoclasts and osteoprogenitors are intermingled on the eroded surfaces. The analysis of the resorption and cell population dynamics shows that osteoprogenitor cell expansion and resorption proceed as an integrated mechanism; that a threshold cell density of osteoprogenitors on the eroded surface is mandatory for onset of bone formation; that the cell initiating osteoprogenitor cell expansion is the osteoclast; and that the osteoclast therefore triggers putative osteoprogenitor reservoirs positioned at proximity of the eroded bone surface (bone lining cells, canopy cells, pericytes). The interplay between magnitude of resorption and rate of cell expansion governs how soon bone reconstruction is initiated and may determine uncoupling and permanent bone loss if a threshold cell density is not reached. The clinical perspectives opened by these findings are discussed.

Abstract
Bone is a dynamic organ that undergoes constant remodeling, an energetically costly process by which old bone is replaced and localized bone defects are repaired to renew the skeleton over time, thereby maintaining skeletal health. This review provides a general overview of bone’s main players (bone lining cells, osteocytes, osteoclasts, reversal cells, and osteoblasts) that participate in bone remodeling. Placing emphasis on the family of extracellular matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), we describe how: (i) Convergence of multiple protease families (including MMPs and cysteine proteinases) ensures complexity and robustness of the bone remodeling process, (ii) Enzymatic activity of MMPs affects bone physiology at the molecular and cellular levels and (iii) Either overexpression or deficiency/insufficiency of individual MMPs impairs healthy bone remodeling and systemic metabolism. Today, it is generally accepted that proteolytic activity is required for the degradation of bone tissue in osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. However, it is increasingly evident that inactivating mutations in MMP genes can also lead to bone pathology including osteolysis and metabolic abnormalities such as delayed growth. We argue that there remains a need to rethink the role played by proteases in bone physiology and pathology.

Abstract
Background: The high socioeconomic impact of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture is due to their high mortality, morbidity, and disease-related costs. Nowadays, bone mineral density (BMD) is a comparatively expensive way to diagnose and follow up patients with osteoporosis. Transforming growth factor-β3 (TGF-β3) is a protein categorized into cytokines. Some previous in vitro studies showed TGF-β3 effects on osteocytes and bone formation. Therefore, we conducted this study to find if there is any significant relationship between TGF-β3 and BMD results. Materials and Methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study conducted in 2017. We included individuals who had been referred from their physicians to undergo BMD dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Blood samples were taken from 150 participants for measuring TGF-β3 with ELISA method. Results: The mean ± standard deviation of TGF-β3 serum level was 79 ± 30.8 pg/ml (minimum 41 pg/ml and maximum 210 pg/ml). There was a statistically significant and direct proportional relationship between TGF-β3 and T-score as a marker for the diagnosis and follow-up of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture (P = 0.001) (Pearson's correlation = +0.95). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between TGF-β3 serum level and BMD. TGF-β3 serum level may be used as a marker for the diagnosis and follow-up of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are large multinucleated cells which are induced by the regulation of the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL), which is important in bone resorption. Excessive osteoclast differentiation can cause pathologic bone loss and destruction. Numerous studies have targeted molecules inhibiting RANKL signaling or bone resorption activity. In this study, 11 compounds from commercial libraries were examined for their effect on RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation. Of these compounds, only 2-(3-(2-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-6-oxo-1(6H)-pyridazinyl)-N-1H-indol-5-ylacetamide (2N1HIA) caused a significant decrease in multinucleated tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive cell formation in a dose-dependent manner, without inducing cytotoxicity. The 2N1HIA compound neither affected the expression of osteoclast-specific gene markers such as TRAF6, NFATc1, RANK, OC-STAMP, and DC-STAMP, nor the RANKL signaling pathways, including p38, ERK, JNK, and NF-κB. However, 2N1HIA exhibited a significant impact on the expression levels of CD47 and cathepsin K, the early fusion marker and critical protease for bone resorption, respectively. The activity of matrix metalloprotease-9 (MMP-9) decreased due to 2N1HIA treatment. Accordingly, bone resorption activity and actin ring formation decreased in the presence of 2N1HIA. Taken together, 2N1HIA acts as an inhibitor of osteoclast differentiation by attenuating bone resorption activity and may serve as a potential candidate in preventing and/or treating osteoporosis, or other bone diseases associated with excessive bone resorption.

Abstract
Osteoblasts are adherent cells, and under physiological conditions they attach to both mineralized and non-mineralized osseous surfaces. However, how exactly osteoblasts respond to these different osseous surfaces is largely unknown. Our hypothesis was that the state of matrix mineralization provides a functional signal to osteoblasts. To assess the osteoblast response to mineralized compared to demineralized osseous surfaces, we developed and validated a novel tissue surface model. We demonstrated that with the exception of the absence of mineral, the mineralized and demineralized surfaces were similar in molecular composition as determined, for example, by collagen content and maturity. Subsequently, we used the human osteoblastic cell line MG63 in combination with genome-wide gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) to record and compare the gene expression signatures on mineralized and demineralized surfaces. Assessment of the 5 most significant gene sets showed on mineralized surfaces an enrichment exclusively of genes sets linked to protein synthesis, while on the demineralized surfaces 3 of the 5 enriched gene sets were associated with the matrix. Focusing on these three gene sets, we observed not only the expected structural components of the bone matrix, but also gene products, such as HMCN1 or NID2, that are likely to act as temporal migration guides. Together, these findings suggest that in osteoblasts mineralized and demineralized osseous surfaces favor intracellular protein production and matrix formation, respectively. Further, they demonstrate that the mineralization state of bone independently controls gene expression in osteoblastic cells.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly prescribed for the treatment of pain and inflammation. Although it is well known that NSAIDs can suppress bone growth, remodelling and repair, they are largely used post-operatively and post-traumatically to achieve analgesia and reduce inflammation in bone tissue. AIMS The impact of two NO-releasing, non-selective NSAIDs, NCX-4016 and HCT-3012 (NO-derivatives of Aspirin and Naproxen, respectively) on osteoblasts were evaluated and compared to the non-selective, parent chemicals and to the COX-2-selective inhibitor Celecoxib. MAIN METHODS Using MG-63 osteoblast-like cells, we considered proliferation, the early and late stage of differentiation, and the activity of proteinases thought to be involved in osteoid degradation, a preliminary fundamental event of bone remodelling. KEY FINDINGS Unlike Aspirin, Naproxen and Celecoxib, the two NO-NSAIDs did not alter proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. They also reduced the activity of plasminogen activator, metalloproteinases, and cathepsin B. Similar inhibitory effects against these proteinases were recapitulated by the NO-donor sodium nitroprusside, thereby suggesting a NO-mediated mechanism. SIGNIFICANCE Due to a differential effect on cell proliferation and differentiation, the two NO-NSAIDs exhibit a safer impact on osteoblast metabolism compared to Celecoxib and their parent compounds. This suggests an advantageous option for these drugs in individuals with a need of COX-inhibiting treatment, in general. In addition, their capability of modulating the proteinases involved in osteoid degradation may specifically suggest an additional safer use in comorbidity conditions of inflammation or pain with bone disorders characterized by high rate of remodelling, such as high-turnover osteoporosis in post-menopausal women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES One mechanism by which cartilage responds to mechanical load is by releasing heparin-bound growth factors from the pericellular matrix (PCM). By proteomic analysis of the PCM, we identified connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and here investigate its function and mechanism of action. METHODS Recombinant CTGF (rCTGF) was used to stimulate human chondrocytes for microarray analysis. Endogenous CTGF was investigated by in vitro binding assays and confocal microscopy. Its release from cut cartilage (injury CM) was analysed by Western blot under reducing and non-reducing conditions. A postnatal, conditional CtgfcKO mouse was generated for cartilage injury experiments and to explore the course of osteoarthritis (OA) by destabilisation of the medial meniscus. siRNA knockdown was performed on isolated human chondrocytes. RESULTS The biological responses of rCTGF were TGFβ dependent. CTGF displaced latent TGFβ from cartilage and both were released on cartilage injury. CTGF and latent TGFβ migrated as a single high molecular weight band under non-reducing conditions, suggesting that they were in a covalent (disulfide) complex. This was confirmed by immunoprecipitation. Using CtgfcKO mice, CTGF was required for sequestration of latent TGFβ in the matrix and activation of the latent complex at the cell surface through TGFβR3. In vivo deletion of CTGF increased the thickness of the articular cartilage and protected mice from OA. CONCLUSIONS CTGF is a latent TGFβ binding protein that controls the matrix sequestration and activation of TGFβ in cartilage. Deletion of CTGF in vivo caused a paradoxical increase in Smad2 phosphorylation resulting in thicker cartilage that was protected from OA.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are the major protease family responsible for the cleavage of the matrisome (global composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteome) and proteins unrelated to the ECM, generating bioactive molecules. These proteins drive ECM remodeling, in association with tissue-specific and cell-anchored inhibitors (TIMPs and RECK, respectively). In the bone, the ECM mediates cell adhesion, mechanotransduction, nucleation of mineralization, and the immobilization of growth factors to protect them from damage or degradation. Since the first description of an MMP in bone tissue, many other MMPs have been identified, as well as their inhibitors. Numerous functions have been assigned to these proteins, including osteoblast/osteocyte differentiation, bone formation, solubilization of the osteoid during bone resorption, osteoclast recruitment and migration, and as a coupling factor in bone remodeling under physiological conditions. In turn, a number of pathologies, associated with imbalanced bone remodeling, arise mainly from MMP overexpression and abnormalities of the ECM, leading to bone osteolysis or bone formation. In this review, we will discuss the functions of MMPs and their inhibitors in bone cells, during bone remodeling, pathological bone resorption (osteoporosis and bone metastasis), bone repair/regeneration, and emergent roles in bone bioengineering.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metalloproteinase 12 (MMP-12) is induced in chondrocytes during fetal development and malignant transformation. OBJECTIVES The aim of our study is to examine the expression of MMP-12 in the cartilage and the subchondral bone of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and to correlate its expression with disease severity and anthropometric characteristics. METHODS Overall, 60 sections from 20 patients with idiopathic OA, were examined for the immunolocalization of MMP-12. As controls, we used the femoral heads of 4 patients treated with seniarthroplasty after fracture. Demographic characteristics and Body Mass Index (BMI) were calculated for all subjects. RESULTS Specimens were divided into four groups based on the Mankin histological severity score. The immunohistochemical study showed MMP-12 expression in the cartilage and subchonral bone of OA patients, while there was no expression in normal controls. At the moderate OA changes (Mankin score: 6-7), MMP-12 was detected mainly at the matrix of fibrocartilage tissue. During disease progression, MMP-12 was expressed at the sides of the cartilage and bone erosion and in the bone cysts. Furthermore, it was traced in the osteocytes of the subchondral bone. Osteoblast-like cells and bone lining cells express MMP-12 during the stage of severe OA (Mankin: ≥8). Osteoclasts expressing MMP-12 were also detected in the group of severe OA. Interestingly, MMP-12 expression was positively correlated with the age and the BMI of OA patients. CONCLUSION The increased expression of MMP-12 in the bone-cartilage unit of OA patients suggests a possible role in OA pathogenesis and progression.

Does collagen trigger the recruitment of osteoblasts into vacated bone resorption lacunae during bone remodeling? Bone 2014; 67:181-8.

Abstract
Osteoblast recruitment during bone remodeling is obligatory to re-construct the bone resorbed by the osteoclast. This recruitment is believed to be triggered by osteoclast products and is therefore likely to start early during the remodeling cycle. Several osteoclast products with osteoblast recruitment potential are already known. Here we draw the attention on the osteoblast recruitment potential of the collagen that is freshly demineralized by the osteoclast. Our evidence is based on observations on adult human cancellous bone, combined with in vitro assays. First, freshly eroded surfaces where osteoblasts have to be recruited show the presence of non-degraded demineralized collagen and close cell-collagen interactions, as revealed by electron microscopy, while surface-bound collagen strongly attracts osteoblast lineage cells in a transmembrane migration assay. Compared with other extracellular matrix molecules, collagen's potency was superior and only equaled by fibronectin. Next, the majority of the newly recruited osteoblast lineage cells positioned immediately next to the osteoclasts exhibit uPARAP/Endo180, an endocytic collagen receptor reported to be involved in collagen internalization and cell migration in various cell types, and whose inactivation is reported to lead to lack of bone formation and skeletal deformities. In the present study, an antibody directed against this receptor inhibits collagen internalization in osteoblast lineage cells and decreases to some extent their migration to surface-bound collagen in the transmembrane migration assay. These complementary observations lead to a model where collagen demineralized by osteoclasts attracts surrounding osteoprogenitors onto eroded surfaces, and where the endocytic collagen receptor uPARAP/Endo180 contributes to this migration, probably together with other collagen receptors. This model fits recent knowledge on the position of osteoprogenitor cells immediately next to remodeling sites in adult human cancellous bone.

Abstract
The reversal phase couples bone resorption to bone formation by generating an osteogenic environment at remodeling sites. The coupling mechanism remains poorly understood, despite the identification of a number of ‘coupling' osteogenic molecules. A possible reason is the poor attention for the cells leading to osteogenesis during the reversal phase. This review aims at creating awareness of these cells and their activities in adult cancellous bone. It relates cell events (i) on the bone surface, (ii) in the mesenchymal envelope surrounding the bone marrow and appearing as a canopy above remodeling surfaces and (iii) in the bone marrow itself within a 50-μm distance of this canopy. When bone remodeling is initiated, osteoprogenitors at these three different levels are activated, likely as a result of a rearrangement of cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions. Notably, canopies are brought under the osteogenic influence of capillaries and osteoclasts, whereas bone surface cells become exposed to the eroded matrix and other osteoclast products. In several diverse pathophysiological situations, including osteoporosis, a decreased availability of osteoprogenitors from these local reservoirs coincides with decreased osteoblast recruitment and impaired initiation of bone formation, that is, uncoupling. Overall, this review stresses that coupling does not only depend on molecules able to activate osteogenesis, but that it also demands the presence of osteoprogenitors and ordered cell rearrangements at the remodeling site. It points to protection of local osteoprogenitors as a critical strategy to prevent bone loss.

Abstract
During the last decade it has become clear that periodontal ligament fibroblasts may contribute to the in vitro differentiation of osteoclasts. We surveyed the current findings regarding their osteoclastogenesis potential. Periodontal ligament fibroblasts have the capacity to select and attract osteoclast precursors and subsequently to retract and enable migration of osteoclast precursors to the bone surface. There, fusion of precursors takes place, giving rise to osteoclasts. The RANKL-RANK-osteoprotegerin (OPG) axis is considered crucial in this process. Periodontal ligament fibroblasts produce primarily OPG, an osteoclastogenesis-inhibitory molecule. However, they may be influenced in vivo by direct or indirect interactions with bacteria or by mechanical loading. Incubation of periodontal ligament fibroblasts with bacteria or bacterial components causes an increased expression of RANKL and other osteoclastogenesis-stimulating molecules, such as tumor necrosis factor-α and macrophage-colony stimulating factor. Similar results are observed after the application of mechanical loading to these fibroblasts. Periodontal ligament fibroblasts may be considered to play an important role in the remodelling of alveolar bone. In vitro experiments have demonstrated that periodontal ligament fibroblasts adapt to bacterial and mechanical stimuli by synthesizing higher levels of osteoclastogenesis-stimulating molecules. Therefore, they probably contribute to the enhanced osteoclast formation observed during periodontitis and to orthodontic tooth movement.

Abstract
It is commonly proposed that bone forming osteoblasts recruited during bone remodeling originate from bone marrow perivascular cells, bone remodeling compartment canopy cells, or bone lining cells. However, an assessment of osteoblast recruitment during adult human cancellous bone remodeling is lacking. We addressed this question by quantifying cell densities, cell proliferation, osteoblast differentiation markers, and capillaries in human iliac crest biopsy specimens. We found that recruitment occurs on both reversal and bone-forming surfaces, as shown by the cell density and osterix levels on these respective surfaces, and that bone formation occurs only above a given cell density. Canopies appeared an important source of osteoprogenitors, because (i) canopy cells proved to be more proliferative and less differentiated than bone surface cells, as shown by the inverse levels of Ki-67 and procollagen-3 N-terminal peptide versus osterix, and (ii) canopy cell densities, found to decline with age, and canopy-capillary contacts above eroded surfaces correlated positively with osteoblast density on bone-forming surfaces. Furthermore, we showed that bone remodeling compartment canopies arise from a mesenchymal envelope surrounding the red bone marrow, which is lifted and hypertrophied on initiation of bone resorption. This study, together with earlier reports, led to a model in which canopies and nearby capillaries are critical for reaching the osteoblast density required for bone formation.

Abstract
Bone remodeling, a physiological process characterized by bone formation by osteoblasts (OBs) and resorption of preexisting bone matrix by osteoclasts (OCs), is vital for the maintenance of healthy bone tissue in adult humans. Imbalances in this vital process result in pathological conditions including osteoporosis. Owing to its initial asymptomatic nature, osteoporosis is often detected only after the patient has sustained significant bone loss or a fracture. Hence, anabolic therapeutics that stimulate bone accrual is in high clinical demand. Here we identify Ca²⁺/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) as a potential target for such therapeutics because its inhibition enhances OB differentiation and bone growth and suppresses OC differentiation. Mice null for CaMKK2 possess higher trabecular bone mass in their long bones, along with significantly more OBs and fewer multinuclear OCs. In vitro, although Camkk2⁻/⁻ mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) yield significantly higher numbers of OBs, bone marrow cells from Camkk2⁻/⁻ mice produce fewer multinuclear OCs. Acute inhibition of CaMKK2 by its selective, cell-permeable pharmacological inhibitor STO-609 also results in increased OB and diminished OC formation. Further, we find phospho-protein kinase A (PKA) and Ser¹³³ phosphorylated form of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) response element binding protein (pCREB) to be markedly elevated in OB progenitors deficient in CaMKK2. On the other hand, genetic ablation of CaMKK2 or its pharmacological inhibition in OC progenitors results in reduced pCREB as well as significantly reduced levels of its transcriptional target, nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic (NFATc1). Moreover, in vivo administration of STO-609 results in increased OBs and diminished OCs, conferring significant protection from ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis in adult mice. Overall, our findings reveal a novel function for CaMKK2 in bone remodeling and highlight the potential for its therapeutic inhibition as a valuable bone anabolic strategy that also inhibits OC differentiation in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
While attachment to bone is required for optimal osteoclast function, the molecular events that underlie this fact are unclear, other than that the cell requires adhesion to mineralized matrix to assume a fully differentiated phenotype. To address this issue, we cultured murine bone marrow-derived osteoclasts on either cell culture plastic or devitalized mouse calvariae to identify the distinct genetic profile induced by interaction with bone. Among a number of genes previously unknown to be expressed in osteoclasts we found that Annexin A8 (AnxA8) mRNA was markedly up-regulated by bone. AnxA8 protein was present at high levels in osteoclasts present in human tissues recovered from sites of pathological bone loss. The presence of bone mineral was required for up-regulation of AnxA8 mRNA since osteoclasts plated on decalcified bone express AnxA8 at low levels as did osteoclasts plated on native or denatured type I collagen. Finally, AnxA8-regulated cytoskeletal reorganization in osteoclasts generated on a mineralized matrix. Thus, we used a novel approach to define a distinct bone-dependent genetic program associated with terminal osteoclast differentiation and identified Anxa8 as a gene strongly induced late in osteoclast differentiation and a protein that regulates formation of the cell's characteristic actin ring.

Abstract
Bone destruction in chronic gout is correlated with deposits of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals. Bone with MSU tophi were histopathologically shown to have altered remodeling and cellular distribution. We investigated the impact of neutrophils in bone remodeling associated with MSU and demonstrated that neutrophils, through elastase localized at their surface, induced retraction of confluent osteoblasts (OBs) previously layered on calcified matrix. This OB retraction allowed osteoclasts to resorb cell-free areas of the matrix. This neutrophil effect was concentration dependent and time dependent and required direct contact with OBs. Exposure of OBs to MSU greatly promoted neutrophil adherence to OBs. Neutrophil membrane at the contact zone with OBs showed concentrated fluorescence of dye PKH-67, indicating a cellular contact. Neutrophil-OB interaction increased the survival of neutrophils, reduced their release of lactoferrin in presence of MSU and did not change OB-mediated mineralization. The adhesion of neutrophils to OBs was heterotypic through neutrophil CD29/CD49d and OB-fibronectin peptide CS1. Leukotriene B₄ (LTB₄) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) were also involved in neutrophil adherence to OBs, as shown by the blocking effect of selective LTB₄ and PAF receptor antagonists, and a cytosolic phospholipase A(2α) (cPLA(2α)) inhibitor. Blockade of CD49d/CS1 and inhibition of the cPLA(2α) had subadditive effects, reducing by 60% the adherence of neutrophils to OBs. Taken together, these data showed that neutrophil adhesion to MSU-activated OBs was mediated by the β₁ integrin CD29/CD49d-fibronectin peptide CS1 receptors and cPLA(2α)-derived metabolites and impacts on OB and osteoclast functions. These interactions could be involved in the local bone remodeling process of gout.

Abstract
Osteoclasts have traditionally been associated exclusively with catabolic functions that are a prerequisite for bone resorption. However, emerging data suggest that osteoclasts also carry out functions that are important for optimal bone formation and bone quality. Moreover, recent findings indicate that osteoclasts have different subtypes depending on their location, genotype, and possibly in response to drug intervention. The aim of the current review is to describe the subtypes of osteoclasts in four different settings: 1) physiological, in relation to turnover of different bone types; 2) pathological, as exemplified by monogenomic disorders; 3) pathological, as identified by different disorders; and 4) in drug-induced situations. The profiles of these subtypes strongly suggest that these osteoclasts belong to a heterogeneous cell population, namely, a diverse macrophage-associated cell type with bone catabolic and anabolic functions that are dependent on both local and systemic parameters. Further insight into these osteoclast subtypes may be important for understanding cell-cell communication in the bone microenvironment, treatment effects, and ultimately bone quality.

Determination of the differentiation capacities of murines' primary mononucleated cells and MC3T3-E1 cells. Cancer Cell Int 2010; 10:42. [PMID: 20979664 PMCID: PMC2984396 DOI: 10.1186/1475-2867-10-42] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2010] [Accepted: 10/28/2010] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The main morphological features of primitive cells, such as stem and progenitor cells, are that these cells consists only one nucleus. The main purpose of this study was to determine the differentiation capacities of stem and progenitor cells. This study was performed using mononucleated cells originated from murine peripheral blood and MC3T3-E1 cells. Three approaches were used to determine their differentiation capacities: 1) Biochemical assays, 2) Gene expression analysis, and 3) Morphological observations. Results We found that both cells were able to differentiate into mature osteoblasts, as assayed by ALP activity. RT-PCR analysis showed the activation of the Opn gene after osteoblast differentiation. Morphological observations of both cells revealed the formation of black or dark-brown nodules after von Kossa staining. Nevertheless, only mononucleated cells showed the significant increase in TRAP activity characteristic of mature osteoclasts. The osteoclast-specific CatK gene was only upregulated in mononucleated cells. Morphological observations indicated the existence of multinucleated osteoclasts. Sca-1 was activated only in undifferentiated mononucleated cells, indicating that the cells were hematopoietic stem cells. In both cell lines, the housekeeping Gapdh gene was activated before and after differentiation. Conclusion The isolated mononucleated cells were able to differentiate into both osteoblasts and osteoclasts; indicating that they are stem cells. On the other hand, MC3T3-E1 cells can only differentiate into osteoblasts; a characteristic of progenitor cells.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study is to determine whether isolated suspension mouse peripheral mononucleated blood cells have the potential to differentiate into two distinct types of cells, i.e., osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Results Differentiation into osteoblast cells was concomitant with the activation of the Opn gene, increment of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and the existence of bone nodules, whereas osteoclast cells activated the Catk gene, increment of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity and showed resorption activities via resorption pits. Morphology analyses showed the morphology of osteoblast and osteoclast cells after von Kossa and May-Grunwald-Giemsa staining respectively. Conclusions In conclusion, suspension mononucleated cells have the potentiality to differentiate into mature osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and hence can be categorized as multipotent stem cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and aggrecanases are essential players in cartilage degradation. However, the signaling pathways that results in MMP and/or aggrecanase synthesis and activation are not well understood. We investigated the molecular events leading to MMP- and aggrecanase-mediated cartilage degradation. METHODS Cartilage degradation was induced in bovine articular cartilage explants by oncostatin M (OSM) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF), in the presence or absence of specific inhibitors of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) P38, P44/42 and Src family. Toxicity was followed by the AlamarBlue colorimetric assay. MMP-activity was assessed using a fluorescent substrate assay and MMP-9 and -2 activities by gelatinase zymography. MMP-mediated collagen type II degradation and MMP as well as aggrecanase-mediated aggrecan degradation was investigated with specific ELISA and hydroxyproline release by standard methods. The findings were verified by immunohistochemistry and histology. RESULTS Stimulation of cartilage degradation by OSM+TNF resulted in 100-fold induction of CTX-II release (P<0.01). This was dose-dependently inhibited by MAPK P38 inhibitors and by the MAPK P44/42 inhibitors. MMP-activity and expression was significantly decreased, as evaluated by cleavage of fluorescence MMP-substrate and zymography. Immunohistochemistry confirmed these findings. Interestingly, only the P44/42 inhibitors abrogated aggrecanase-mediated aggrecan degradation. CONCLUSION We found that inhibition of MAPK P38, P44/42 and Src family abrogated proteolytic cartilage degradation by blocking MMP synthesis and activity. However, only MAPK P44/42 was essential for aggrecanase-mediated aggrecan degradation. These data suggest that various aspects of cartilage degradation can be targeted independently by inhibiting specific upstream signaling pathway.

Abstract
Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common disease that makes bones prone to fracture and can affect both men and women. Many traditional Chinese medicine formulations have the potential effect of preventing osteoporosis. Gu Ling Pian (GLP), a traditional Chinese medicine formulation, comprised of tonifying kidney herbal medicines, has been demonstrated to prevent osteoporosis by increasing bone mineral density, however the exact mechanism has not yet been elucidated. Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK), and RANK ligand (RANKL) play critical roles in bone remodelling by regulating the function of osteoclasts. In this study, we investigated the effect of GLP on osteoblasts, namely MG-63 cells. The cell proliferation and differentiation, synthesis of OPG/RANKL and p38 expression were tested on MG-63 cells exposed to serum from rats fed with GLP or not. The results showed that GLP significantly promoted MG-63 cell proliferation and differentiation. Upregulation of OPG and down-regulation of RANKL at the protein and mRNA level were observed in GLP serum treated MG-63 cells using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and real-time polymerase chain reaction. Further, treatment with GLP serum increased the level of p38 phosphorylation but did not affect the total p38 expression. These effects can be blocked by the p38 specific inhibitor SB203580. The results indicate that GLP can effectively promote the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and regulate their OPG/RANKL expression, while the effects may be mediated via the p38 MAPK pathway. The findings suggest that GLP induces bone formation and may be beneficial for patients with osteoporosis.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is the most abundant TGF-beta isoform detected in bone and is an important functional modulator of osteoclasts. TGF-beta1 can induce osteoclast apoptosis; however, the apoptotic pathways involved in this process are not known. We show here that human osteoclasts express both type-I and type-II TGF-beta receptors. In the absence of survival factors, TGF-beta1 (1 ng/ml) induced osteoclast apoptosis. The expression of activated caspase-9, but not that of caspase-8, was increased by TGF-beta1 stimulation, and the rate of TGF-beta1-induced apoptosis was significantly lower in the presence of a caspase-9 inhibitor. To study further the mechanisms involved in TGF-beta1-induced osteoclast apoptosis, we investigated TGF-beta1 signaling, which primarily involves the Smad pathway, but also other pathways that may interfere with intracellular modulators of apoptosis, such as mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases and Bcl2 family members. We show here that early events consisted of a trend toward increased expression of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and then TGF-beta1 significantly induced the activation of p38 and Smad2 in a time-dependent manner. These signaling cascades may activate the intrinsic apoptosis pathway, which involves Bim, the expression of which was increased in the presence of TGF-beta1. Furthermore, the rate of TGF-beta1-induced osteoclast apoptosis was lower when Bim expression was suppressed, and inhibiting the Smad pathway abolished Bim up-regulation following TGF-beta stimulation. This could correspond to a regulatory mechanism involved in the inhibition of osteoclast activity by TGF-beta1.

Abstract
Bone remodeling is required for healthy calcium homeostasis and for repair of damage occurring with stress and age. Osteoclasts resorb bone and osteoblasts form bone. These processes normally occur in a tightly regulated sequence of events, where the amount of formed bone equals the amount of resorbed bone, thereby restoring the removed bone completely. Osteocytes are the third cell type playing an essential role in bone turnover. They appear to regulate activation of bone remodeling, and they exert both positive and negative regulation on both osteoclasts and osteoblasts. In this review, we consider the intricate communication between these bone cells in relation to bone remodeling, reviewing novel data from patients with mutations rendering different cell populations inactive, which have shown that these interactions are more complex than originally thought. We highlight the high probability that a detailed understanding of these processes will aid in the development of novel treatments for bone metabolic disorders, i.e. we discuss the possibility that bone resorption can be attenuated pharmacologically without a secondary reduction in bone formation.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are key mediators in extra-cellular matrix remodelling and implicated primarily in bone growth, and particularly in osteoclastic bone resorption. We hypothesise that MMPs have a role in the increased bone remodelling resulting from oestrogen deficiency. Transgenic (TG) mice overexpressing TIMP-1 in their osteoblastic cells and their wild-type (WT) littermates were ovariectomised. One month after surgery, bone mineral density (BMD) and bone microarchitecture were assessed. Primary cells from WT and TG mice were used to determine how TIMP-1 affects osteoclast and osteoblastic cells. The reduction of BMD induced by ovariectomy in WT mice was not observed in the transgenic mice. The transgene overexpression also dampened the post-ovariectomy increase in bone resorption in contrast to the WT mice. In vivo, osteoclastic surfaces and D-pyridinoline were not increased in TG mice, and ex vivo, the differentiation of osteoclasts from TG bone marrow precursor cells were unaffected by in vivo oestrogen deficiency or treatment. We showed also that TIMP-1 overexpression reduces and delays the osteoblastic proliferation and differentiation respectively, and reduced the generation of the active form of TGFbeta1 in the supernatant of TG osteoblasts. Our findings support the hypothesis that in vivo inhibition of osteoblastic MMPs prevented the bone loss induced by oestrogen deficiency, with a significant decrease in bone resorption. This effect was presumably resulting from (1) a direct inhibition of osteoclastic resorption activity by the TIMP-1 and (2) the modification in the local activation of extra-cellular signalling factors such as TGFbeta1 and the OPG/RANKL ratio.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling is important during bone development and repair. Because matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13, collagenase-3) plays a role in long bone development, we have examined its role during adult skeletal repair. In this study we find that MMP13 is expressed by hypertrophic chondrocytes and osteoblasts in the fracture callus. We demonstrate that MMP13 is required for proper resorption of hypertrophic cartilage and for normal bone remodeling during non-stabilized fracture healing, which occurs via endochondral ossification. However, no difference in callus strength was detected in the absence of MMP13. Transplant of wild-type bone marrow, which reconstitutes cells only of the hematopoietic lineage, did not rescue the endochondral repair defect, indicating that impaired healing in Mmp13−/− mice is intrinsic to cartilage and bone. Mmp13−/− mice also exhibited altered bone remodeling during healing of stabilized fractures and cortical defects via intramembranous ossification. This indicates that the bone phenotype occurs independently from the cartilage phenotype. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that MMP13 is involved in normal remodeling of bone and cartilage during adult skeletal repair, and that MMP13 may act directly in the initial stages of ECM degradation in these tissues prior to invasion of blood vessels and osteoclasts.

Abstract
Although several treatments for osteoporosis exist, further understanding of the mode of action of current treatments, as well as development of novel treatments, are of interest. Thus, preclinical models of osteoporosis are very useful, as they provide the possibility for gaining knowledge about the cellular mechanisms underlying the disease and for studying pharmaceutical prevention or intervention of the disease in simple and strictly controlled systems. In this review, we present a comprehensive collection of studies using biochemical markers of bone turnover for investigation of preclinical models of osteoporosis. These range from pure and simple in vitro systems, such as osteoclast cultures, to ex vivo models, such as cultures of embryonic murine tibiae and, finally, to in vivo models, such as ovariectomy and orchidectomy of rats. We discuss the relevance of the markers in the individual models, and compare their responses to those observed using 'golden standard' methods.

Abstract
Although fracture healing is a well-optimized biological process that leads to healing, approximately 10-20% of fractures result in impaired or delayed healing and these fractures may benefit from the use of biotechnologies to enhance skeletal repair. Peptide signaling molecules such as the bone morphogenetic proteins have been shown to stimulate the healing of fresh fractures, nonunions, and spinal fusions and side effects from their use appear to be minimal. Other growth factors currently being studied for local application include growth and differentiation factor-5 (GDF-5), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). Molecules such as prostaglandin E receptor agonists and the thrombin-related peptide, TP508, have shown promise in animal models of fracture repair. Gene therapy using various growth factors or combinations of factors might also aid in fracture repair, particularly as new methods for delivery that do not require viral vectors are developed. Systemic therapy with agents such as parathyroid hormone (PTH), growth hormone (GH), and the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors are also under investigation. As these and other technologies are shown to be safe and effective, their use will become a part of the standard of care in managing skeletal injuries.

Abstract
Osteoclast and their mononuclear cell precursors are present within the bone microenvironment at sites of physiologic and pathologic bone resorption. Analysis of tissues from sites of bone resorption reveal that cells expressing the full morphological and functional properties of mature osteoclasts are restricted to the immediate bone surface. We hypothesize that in addition to cytokines, components of the bone matrix and specific cell surface receptors on osteoclasts and their precursors play an essential role in determining the genetic profile and functional properties of fully differentiated resorbing osteoclasts. We have employed expression profiling, with an in vitro model of matrix-dependent osteoclast differentiation, to identify the molecular pathways by which bone matrix-interactions induce terminal osteoclast differentiation and activation. In preliminary studies, we have identified unique genes and transcriptional pathways that are induced by interaction of osteoclast precursors with specific components of the mineralized bone matrix. The authenticity of the gene profiles, as markers of osteoclast differentiation and activation, have been provisionally validated using an in vivo animal bone implantation model and by examination of tissues from patients with specific forms of pathologic osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. The ultimate goal of our studies is to identify new molecular targets for inhibiting osteoclast-mediated bone loss in disorders of pathologic bone loss. The early work of Walker et al. (Walker 1972) in parabiotic animals, and the subsequent studies of Burger et al. (Burger, Van der Meer, van de Gevel, et al. 1982) using a co-culture model with fetal bone rudiments and bone marrow-derived cells, have helped to establish that osteoclasts are derived from macrophage precursors of colony forming unit-macrophage (CFU-M lineage). As such, they share a common hematopoietic origin with other CFU-M lineage cells, including tissue macrophages that populate the lung (alveolar macrophages), liver (Kupfer cells), synovium (synovial macrophages) and other organs. They also share a common lineage

Abstract
Although dexamethasone (Dex) substantially enhances the osteoblastic phenotype in osteogenic cells, including human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells, the basis for this response remains poorly understood. Since the accretion of a collagenous matrix is important for an osteoblastic response and dexamethasone is known to decrease collagenase expression, we examined whether osteoblastic differentiation mediated by Dex is linked to a decrease in collagenase expression in PDL cells. Early passage human PDL cells were exposed to Dex, or ascorbic acid (AA) or beta-glycerophosphate (betaGP) alone, or in various combinations in serum-free media for 3 or 5 days. Cells exposed to Dex alone or any combinations of treatments that included Dex demonstrated increased core binding factor alpha 1 (Cbfa1), alkaline phosphatase (AP), osteonectin (ON), osteopontin (OP), bone sialoprotein (BSP) and collagen I (alpha1) expression when compared to control cells or those exposed to AA or betaGP. The induction of these osteoblastic markers was accompanied by a decrease in collagenase-1 expression. Collagenase activity showed a statistically significant strong negative relationship to Cbfa1 (Pearson's r=-0.97), AP (r=-0.87), OP (r=-0.95) and BSP (r=-0.82) in 5-day cultures, and moderately strong relationship to ON (r=-0.74) from 3 days culture. Dex also produced a dose-dependent increase in AP that was paralleled by a decrease in collagenase activity (r=-0.98). Addition of collagenase inhibitors increased AP expression while concomitantly suppressing collagenase activity. Conversely, addition of exogenous collagenase decreased the AP phenotype of the cells, which was more marked in the absence then in the presence of Dex. The findings indicate that Dex enhances specific markers of osteoblastic differentiation in PDL cells by decreasing collagenase expression, and suggest that endogenous collagenase may regulate osteoblastic differentiation of these cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Calcitonin was recently reported to counter progression of cartilage degradation in an experimental model of osteoarthritis, and the effects were primarily suggested to be mediated by inhibition of subchondral bone resorption. We investigated direct effects of calcitonin on chondrocytes by assessing expression of the receptor and pharmacological effects on collagen type II degradation under ex vivo and in vivo conditions. METHODS Localization of the calcitonin receptor on articular chondrocytes was investigated by immunohistochemistry, and the expression by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In bovine articular cartilage explants, cartilage degradation was investigated by release of C-terminal telopeptides of collagen type II (CTX-II), induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) [20 ng/ml] and oncostatin M (OSM) [10 ng/ml], with salmon calcitonin [0.0001-1 microM]. In vivo, cartilage degradation was investigated in ovariectomized (OVX) rats administered with oral calcitonin [2 mg/kg calcitonin] for 9 weeks. RESULTS The calcitonin receptor was identified in articular chondrocytes by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. Calcitonin concentration-dependently increased cAMP levels in isolated chondrocytes. Explants cultured with TNF-alpha and OSM showed a 100-fold increase in CTX-II release compared to vehicle-treated controls (P<0.001). The degradation of type II collagen in these explants was concentration-dependently inhibited by calcitonin, 65% protection at 10 nM calcitonin (P<0.01). TNF-alpha and OSM induced a pronounced increase in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, which was strongly inhibited by calcitonin. In vivo, administration of salmon calcitonin to OVX rats resulted in significant (P<0.001) decrease in CTX-II levels. CONCLUSION These results are the first evidence of calcitonin receptor expression on articular chondrocytes and that the chondroprotective effects of calcitonin might involve the inhibition of MMP expression.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) elicits a variety of effects on cellular proliferation and differentiation. The major repository for TGF-beta is bone, where it possesses separate facilitative and suppressive actions on osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. Without a direct enabling stimulus from TGF-beta monocytes cannot form osteoclasts but instead follow macrophage differentiation pathways. This facilitative action depends on an ability to promote a state in which precursors are resistant to anti-osteoclastic inflammatory signals. Following the initiation of resorption TGF-beta is released from bone matrix. This acts on osteoblasts to reduce the availability of the osteoclast differentiation factor, RANKL (receptor activator of NFkappaB ligand) and thereby indirectly limits further osteoclast formation. Thus TGF-beta has a fundamental role in the control of bone resorption having actions that first allow monocytes to develop into osteoclasts then subsequently limiting the extent and duration of resorption after its release from the bone matrix.

Abstract
TGF-beta1 is a ubiquitous growth factor that is implicated in the control of proliferation, migration, differentiation, and survival of many different cell types. It influences such diverse processes as embryogenesis, angiogenesis, inflammation, and wound healing. In skeletal tissue, TGF-beta1 plays a major role in development and maintenance, affecting both cartilage and bone metabolism, the latter being the subject of this review. Because it affects both cells of the osteoblast and osteoclast lineage, TGF-beta1 is one of the most important factors in the bone environment, helping to retain the balance between the dynamic processes of bone resorption and bone formation. Many seemingly contradictory reports have been published on the exact functioning of TGF-beta1 in the bone milieu. This review provides an overall picture of the bone-specific actions of TGF-beta1 and reconciles experimental discrepancies that have been reported for this multifunctional cytokine.

Abstract
Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) is a metallophosphoesterase participating in osteoclast-mediated bone turnover. Activation of TRAP is associated with the redox state of the di-iron metal center as well as with limited proteolytic cleavage in an exposed loop domain. The cysteine proteinases cathepsin B, L, K, and S as well as the matrix metalloproteinase-2, -9, -13, and -14 are expressed by osteoclasts and/or other bone cells and have been implicated in the turnover of bone and cartilage. To identify proteases that could act as activators of TRAP in bone, we report here that cathepsins K and L, in contrast to the matrix metalloproteinases, efficiently cleaved and activated recombinant TRAP in vitro. Activation of TRAP by cathepsin K/L was because of increases in catalytic activity, substrate affinity, and sensitivity to reductants. Processing by cathepsin K occurred sequentially by an initial excision of the loop peptide Gly(143)-Gly(160) followed by the removal of a Val(161)-Ala(162) dipeptide at the N terminus of the C-terminal 16-kDa TRAP subunit. Cathepsin L initially released a shorter Gln(151)-Gly(160) peptide and completed processing at Ser(145) or Gly(143) at the C terminus of the N-terminal 23-kDa TRAP subunit and at Arg(163) at the N terminus of the C-terminal 16-kDa TRAP subunit. Mutation of Ser(145) to Ala partly mimicked the effect of proteolysis on catalytic activity, identifying Ser(145) as well as Asp(146) (Funhoff, E. G., Ljusberg, J., Wang, Y., Andersson, G., and Averill, B. A. (2001) Biochemistry 40, 11614-11622) as repressive amino acids of the loop region to maintain the TRAP enzyme in a catalytically latent state. The C-terminal sequence of TRAP isolated from rat bone was consistent with cathepsin K-mediated processing in vivo. Moreover, cathepsin K, but not cathepsin L, co-localized with TRAP in osteoclast-resorptive compartments, supporting a role for cathepsin K in the extracellular processing of monomeric TRAP in the resorption lacuna.

Abstract
To address how transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta and oncogenic H-ras signal transduction pathways interact with each other in the malignant progression of breast epithelial cells, we investigated the role of TGF-beta signaling pathway in invasive and migrative properties of H-ras-transformed MCF10A human breast epithelial cells in this study. Here we show that TGF-beta treatment significantly enhanced invasion and migration of H-ras MCF10A cells. H-ras-mediated activation of p38 MAPK and ERK-1/2 was stimulated by TGF-beta. TGF-beta increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 through transcriptional activation while TGF-beta-stimulated MMP-9 up-regulation did not occur at transcription level. Activation of p38 MAPK pathway was required for TGF-beta-induced cell migration, invasion and MMP-2/-9 up-regulation, indicating a critical role of p38 MAPK signaling in TGF-beta-promoted tumor progression of H-ras-activated cells. ERKs signaling was also crucial for TGF-beta-enhanced invasive and migrative phenotypes but the up-regulation of MMP-2/-9 was not dependent on ERKs activity. Taken together, we show that TGF-beta promotes H-ras-mediated cell migration and invasive phenotypes in which p38 MAPK and ERKs signaling pathways are involved. Our findings revealing how H-ras and TGF-beta signal pathways interact with each other in MCF10A human breast cells may provide an insight into molecular mechanisms for contribution of TGF-beta to a malignant progression of breast cancer in collaboration with activated H-ras.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF(beta)) is a major coupling factor for bone turnover and is known to stimulate osteoblastic proliferation. Recent information indicates that, in addition to the Smad pathway, TGF(beta) also activates MAP kinases in osteoblastic cells. The role of these signaling cascades in cell proliferation induced by TGF(beta) as well as the cellular and molecular mechanisms of their activation by TGF(beta) has been investigated in this study. In MC3T3-E1 cells, TGF(beta) enhanced cell proliferation by about 2-fold and induced activation of the three MAP kinases, extracellular regulated kinase (ERK), p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Surprisingly, however, whereas activation of Smad2 was rapid and maximal after 15-min incubation, activation of MAP kinases was delayed with p38 stimulation detected after 1-h exposure and activation of ERK and JNK after 3 h, suggesting indirect activation of MAP kinases by TGF(beta). Among factors known to be released in response to TGF(beta) in osteoblastic cells and influence their growth, prostaglandins (PGs) were good candidates that were further investigated for mediating TGF(beta)-induced activation of MAP kinases and cell proliferation. Indomethacin, a selective inhibitor of PG synthesis, completely blunted cell proliferation induced by TGF(beta) and markedly reduced activation of MAP kinases without influencing Smad2 phosphorylation. EP4A, a specific PGE2 receptor antagonist, also blunted TGF(beta)-induced osteoblastic proliferation. In addition to these effects, PGE2 rapidly activated MAP kinases in MC3T3-E1 cells and increased cell proliferation by about 2-fold. The role of each MAP kinases in mediating TGF(beta)- and PGE2-induced cell proliferation was investigated using selective inhibitors. U0126, a specific inhibitor of the ERK pathway, completely blocked both TGF(beta)- and PGE2-induced cell proliferation whereas SB203580 and SP600125, which are selective inhibitors of, respectively, p38 and JNK pathways, had no effect. Finally, the effect of PGE2 on activation of ERK was mimicked by phorbol esters and not by forskolin, and was associated with activation of protein kinase C. This latter effect and the stimulation of ERK induced by PGE2 were completely blocked by a specific inhibitor of PKC. In conclusion, data presented in this study strongly suggest that the local release of PGE2 is involved in cell proliferation induced by TGF(beta) in osteoblastic cells. This effect is mediated by the ERK pathway activated by a PKC-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
Genetic diseases and knockout mice stress the importance of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in skeletal turnover. Our study aims at clarifying which MMPs are expressed by osteoclasts. Previous analyses of this basic question led to conflicting reports in the literature. In the present study, we used a variety of approaches: PCR, Northern blots, Slot blots, in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry. We analyzed osteoclasts in culture as well as osteoclasts in native bone at different locations and compared mouse and rabbit osteoclasts. Osteoclasts express MMP-9 and -14 in all conditions, although to a variable extent, and they are able to synthesize MMP-3, -10, and -12, at least under some circumstances. The induction of a given MMP in osteoclasts is influenced by its environment (e.g., osteoclast culture vs. native bone, and various sites within the same bone) and depends on the species (e.g., mouse vs. rabbit). Osteoclasts show high amounts of MMP-2 and -13 protein presumably made to a large extent by other cells, thereby documenting how proteinases of nonosteoclastic origin may contribute to osteoclast activities and giving insight in why the resorptive activity of purified osteoclasts appears insensitive to MMP inhibitors. Our study shows that the confusion about osteoclastic MMPs in the literature reflects the remarkable ability of osteoclasts to adapt to their environment, as required by the structural or functional diversity of bone tissue. Our observations provide basic information needed for understanding the emerging role of MMPs in controlling cell signaling and bone resorption.
