Abstract
Osteoclasts are bone resorbing cells that are essential to maintain skeletal integrity and function. While many of the growth factors and molecular signals that govern osteoclastogenesis are well studied, how the metabolome changes during osteoclastogenesis is unknown. Using a multifaceted approach, we identified a metabolomic signature of osteoclast differentiation consisting of increased amino acid and nucleotide metabolism. Maintenance of the osteoclast metabolic signature is governed by elevated glutaminolysis. Mechanistically, glutaminolysis provides amino acids and nucleotides which are essential for osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption in vitro. Genetic experiments in mice found that glutaminolysis is essential for osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in vivo. Highlighting the therapeutic implications of these findings, inhibiting glutaminolysis using CB-839 prevented ovariectomy induced bone loss in mice. Collectively, our data provide strong genetic and pharmacological evidence that glutaminolysis is essential to regulate osteoclast metabolism, promote osteoclastogenesis and modulate bone resorption in mice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Apical periodontitis, mainly caused by bacterial infection in the dental pulp, is often accompanied by abscess, periapical inflammation, and alveolar bone loss. Lancefieldella rimae has been detected in the root canals of patients with apical periodontitis. Here, we investigated whether L. rimae is associated with bone resorption. METHODS L. rimae was anaerobically cultured and heat-killed (HKLr). A mouse calvarial implantation model was used to determine the bone resorption in vivo. Committed osteoclasts prepared from C57BL/6 wild-type or Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2)-deficient mice were differentiated into mature osteoclasts in the presence or absence of HKLr. The mRNA expression of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), ATPase H+ transporting V0 subunit D2, cathepsin K, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase was quantified using real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The protein levels of c-Fos and NFATc1 were determined by Western blot analysis. RESULTS Implantation of HKLr onto the mouse calvaria induced the bone destruction with an increase of TRAP-positive areas. While HKLr enhanced the differentiation of osteoclasts, this effect was not observed in TLR2-deficient osteoclasts. HKLr dose-dependently increased the mRNA expression of genes associated with osteoclast differentiation including TRAP, ATPase H+ transporting V0 subunit D2, and cathepsin K. In addition, HKLr enhanced the expression of c-Fos and NFATc1, which are important transcription factors for osteoclast differentiation. Moreover, HKLr increased the expression of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α. CONCLUSION L. rimae induces bone resorption by enhancing osteoclast differentiation through the TLR2 signaling pathway, implying that L. rimae is a causative agent responsible for the alveolar bone resorption accompanying apical periodontitis.

J Oral Rehabil 2024. [PMID: 39192486 DOI: 10.1111/joor.13834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic rheumatic condition of childhood. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is among the most commonly affected joints in JIA patients. When JIA involves the TMJ, it may affect condylar growth in the joint; therefore, JIA patients are at risk of unfavourable long-term outcomes from associated joint damage. If undetected, TMJ involvement can lead to various functional disabilities such as reduced mandibular mobility and disorders of the mastication muscles. Limitations in sagittal and vertical mandibular growth can result in micrognathia and anterior open bite with aesthetic and functional restrictions. OBJECTIVE Genetic factors may play a role in determining which individuals are more prone to develop TMJ disorders or in predicting the severity of the disease process. Therefore, we applied a GWAS approach to identify loci associated with TMJ involvement in a sample of Estonian patients with JIA. Our aim was to address the potential role of genetic susceptibility factors in TMJ-JIA, a condition not previously studied in this context. METHODS The case group consisted of 55 JIA patients with TMJ involvement and 208 patients without TMJ involvement comprised the control group. The entire cohort was genotyped using the Illumina HumanOmniExpress BeadChip arrays. Imputation was performed using a nationwide reference panel obtained of 2240 individuals whose data were obtained from the Estonian Biobank. RESULTS We identified six loci as being associated with the risk of TMJ-JIA in Estonian JIA patients. The strongest associations were identified at CD6 rs3019551 (P = 3.80 × 10-6), SLC26A8/MAPK14 rs9470191 (P = 6.15 × 10-6), NLRP3 rs2056795 (P = 8.91 × 10-6) and MAP2K4 rs7225328 (P = 1.64 × 10-5). CONCLUSION This study provides first insights into the risk-associated loci between JIA and its manifestation in the TMJ. The reported loci are involved in molecular pathways of immunological relevance and likely represent genomic regions that render the TMJ susceptible to involvement by JIA in Estonian patients.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by joint destruction due to synovial hypertrophy and the infiltration of inflammatory cells. Despite substantial progress in RA treatment, challenges persist, including suboptimal treatment responses and adverse effects associated with current therapies. This study investigates the anti-rheumatic capabilities of the newly identified multi-protein kinase inhibitor, KMU-11342, aiming to develop innovative agents targeting RA. In this study, we synthesized the novel multi-protein kinase inhibitor KMU-11342, based on indolin-2-one. We assessed its cardiac electrophysiological safety using the Langendorff system in rat hearts and evaluated its toxicity in zebrafish in vivo. Additionally, we examined the anti-rheumatic effects of KMU-11342 on human rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLS), THP-1 cells, and osteoclastogenesis in RAW264.7 cells. KMU-11342 demonstrated the ability to inhibit LPS-induced chemokine inhibition and the upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, cyclooxygenase-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase, p-IKKα/β, p-NF-κB p65, and the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 in RA-FLS. It effectively suppressed the upregulation of NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) and caspase-1 cleavage. Furthermore, KMU-11342 hindered the activation of osteoclast differentiation factors such as RANKL-induced TRAP, cathepsin K, NFATc-1, and c-Fos in RAW264.7 cells. KMU-11342 mitigates LPS-mediated inflammatory responses in THP-1 cells by inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. Notably, KMU-11342 exhibited minimal cytotoxicity in vivo and electrophysiological cardiotoxicity ex vivo. Consequently, KMU-11342 holds promise for development as a therapeutic agent in RA treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoclasts, which are responsible for bone resorption, are specialized multinucleated cells generated from monocyte/macrophage progenitor cells or hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Physiological bone remodeling can become pathological, such as osteoporosis, when osteoclastogenesis is out of balance. Thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) influence important molecular and biological processes. Recent research has revealed gene expression regulation function that numerous lncRNAs regulate nuclear domain organization, genome stability. Furthermore, the research of lncRNAs has substantial clinical implications for the treatment of existing and new diseases. AREAS COVERED In this review, we gather the most recent research on lncRNAs and their potential for basic research and clinical applications in osteoclast and osteoporosis. We also discuss the findings here in order to fully understand the role of lncRNAs in osteoclast differentiation and osteoporosis, as well as to provide a solid basis for future research exploring associated mechanisms and treatments. EXPERT OPINION LncRNA has been considered as an important role in the regulation of osteoclast differentiation and osteoporosis. It is exciting to investigate pathophysiological processes in osteoporosis and the therapeutic potential of lncRNAs. We hope that this review will offer promising prospects for the development of precision and individualized approaches to treatment.

NAT10 promotes osteoclastogenesis in inflammatory bone loss by catalyzing Fos mRNA ac4C modification and upregulating MAPK signaling pathway. J Adv Res 2024:S2090-1232(24)00318-7. [PMID: 39089619 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2024.07.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Excessive osteoclastogenesis is a key driver of inflammatory bone loss. Suppressing osteoclastogenesis has always been considered essential for the treatment of inflammatory bone loss. N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) is the sole enzyme responsible for N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification of mRNA, and is involved in cell development. However, its role in osteoclastogenesis and inflammatory bone loss remained elusive. OBJECTIVES We aimed to clarify the regulatory mechanism of NAT10 and ac4C modification in osteoclastogenesis and inflammatory bone loss. METHODS NAT10 expression and ac4C modification during osteoclastogenesis were determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), western blotting, dot blot and immunofluorescent staining, and the effect of NAT10 inhibition on osteoclast differentiation in vitro was measured by the tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, podosome belts staining assay and bone resorption pit assay. Then, acRIP-qPCR and NAT10RIP-qPCR, ac4C site prediction, mRNA decay assay and luciferase reporter assay were performed to further study the underlying mechanisms. At last, mice models of inflammatory bone loss were applied to verify the therapeutic effect of NAT10 inhibition in vivo. RESULTS NAT10 expression was upregulated during osteoclast differentiation and highly expressed in alveolar bone osteoclasts from periodontitis mice. Inhibition of NAT10 notably reduced osteoclast differentiation in vitro, as indicated by great reduction of tartrated resistant acid phosphatse positive multinuclear cells, osteoclast-specific gene expression, F-actin ring formation and bone resorption capacity. Mechanistically, NAT10 catalyzed ac4C modification of Fos (encoding AP-1 component c-Fos) mRNA and maintained its stabilization. Besides, NAT10 promoted MAPK signaling pathway and thereby activated AP-1 (c-Fos/c-Jun) transcription for osteoclastogenesis. Therapeutically, administration of Remodelin, the specific inhibitor of NAT10, remarkably impeded the ligature-induced alveolar bone loss and lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory calvarial osteolysis. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that NAT10-mediated ac4C modification is an important epigenetic regulation of osteoclast differentiation and proposed a promising therapeutic target for inflammatory bone loss.

Endocrinology 2024; 165:bqae087. [PMID: 39024412 DOI: 10.1210/endocr/bqae087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
Osteocytes are embedded in lacunae and connected by canaliculi (lacuno-canalicular network, LCN). Bones from mice with X-linked hypophosphatemia (Hyp), which have impaired production of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D) and hypophosphatemia, have abnormal LCN structure that is improved by treatment with 1,25D or an anti-FGF23 targeting antibody, supporting roles for 1,25D and phosphate in regulating LCN remodeling. Bones from mice lacking the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in osteocytes (Vdrf/f;Dmp1Cre+) and mice lacking the sodium phosphate transporter 2a (Npt2aKO), which have low serum phosphate with high serum 1,25D, have impaired LCN organization, demonstrating that osteocyte-specific actions of 1,25D and hypophosphatemia regulate LCN remodeling. In osteoclasts, nuclear factor of activated T cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) is critical for stimulating bone resorption. Since osteocytes also resorb matrix, we hypothesize that NFATc1 plays a role in 1,25D and phosphate-mediated LCN remodeling. Consistent with this, 1,25D and phosphate suppress Nfatc1 mRNA expression in IDG-SW3 osteocytes, and knockdown of Nfatc1 expression in IDG-SW3 cells blocks 1,25D- and phosphate-mediated suppression of matrix resorption gene expression and 1,25D- and phosphate-mediated suppression of RANKL-induced acidification of the osteocyte microenvironment. To determine the role of NFATc1 in 1,25D- and phosphate-mediated LCN remodeling in vivo, histomorphometric analyses of tibiae from mice lacking osteocyte-specific Nfatc1 in Vdrf/f;Dmp1Cre+ and Npt2aKO mice were performed, demonstrating that bones from these mice have decreased lacunar size and expression of matrix resorption genes, and improved canalicular structure compared to Vdrf/f;Dmp1Cre+ and Npt2aKO control. This study demonstrates that NFATc1 is necessary for 1,25D- and phosphate-mediated regulation of LCN remodeling.

Abstract
Edible grey oyster mushroom, Pleurotus sajor-caju, β (1,3), (1,6) glucan possesses a wide range of biological activities, including anti-inflammation, anti-microorganism and antioxidant. However, its biological activity is limited by low water solubility resulting from its high molecular weight. Our previous study demonstrated that enzymatic hydrolysis of grey oyster mushroom β-glucan using Hevea β-1,3-glucanase isozymes obtains a lower molecular weight and higher water solubility, Pleurotus sajor-caju glucanoligosaccharide (Ps-GOS). Additionally, Ps-GOS potentially reduces osteoporosis by enhancing osteoblast-bone formation, whereas its effect on osteoclast-bone resorption remains unknown. Therefore, our study investigated the modulatory activities and underlying mechanism of Ps-GOS on Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) -induced osteoclastogenesis in pre-osteoclastic RAW 264.7 cells. Cell cytotoxicity of Ps-GOS on RAW 264.7 cells was determined by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and its effect on osteoclast differentiation was determined by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. Additionally, its effect on osteoclast bone-resorptive ability was detected by pit formation assay. The osteoclastogenic-related factors were assessed by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Western blot and immunofluorescence. The results revealed that Ps-GOS was non-toxic and significantly suppressed the formation of mature osteoclast multinucleated cells and their resorption activity by reducing the number of TRAP-positive cells and pit formation areas in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, Ps-GOS attenuated the nuclear factor kappa light chain-enhancer of activated B cells' P65 (NFκB-P65) expression and their subsequent master osteoclast modulators, including nuclear factor of activated T cell c1 (NFATc1) and Fos proto-oncogene (cFOS) via the NF-κB pathway. Furthermore, Ps-GOS markedly inhibited RANK expression, which serves as an initial transmitter of many osteoclastogenesis-related cascades and inhibited proteolytic enzymes, including TRAP, matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) and cathepsin K (CTK). These findings indicate that Ps-GOS could potentially be beneficial as an effective natural agent for bone metabolic disease.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is an endocrine disease characterized by prolonged hyperglycemia. Prolonged high blood sugar levels interfere with the differentiation and maturation process of OBs and OCs, leading to the onset of osteoporosis. However, OCs differentiation and maturation is a complex regulatory process. In this study, we used a co-culture system of RAW264.7 and MC3T3-E1 cells under HG concentration to explore the effect of CYM on OCs in a HG environment. The effects of CYM on the formation and function of OCs were observed using TRAP-positive cell counts and bone resorption pits. Then, mRNA and protein expression levels of OCs-related genes were detected by real-time qPCR and western blotting. The results showed that CYM had an inhibitory effect on OCs differentiation and bone resorption, reduced mRNAs expression of OCs-associated genes, and downregulated RANKL/RANK/TRAF6 pathway that mediates OCs differentiation. CYM could be a promising natural compound against diabetic osteoporosis.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is thought to be an estradiol-independent, hormone therapy-resistant cancer because of lack of estrogen receptor alpha 66 (ERα66). We identified a membrane-bound splice variant, ERα36, in TNBC cells that responds to estrogen (E2) and may contribute to bone osteolysis. We demonstrated that the MDA-MB-231 TNBC cell line, which expresses ERα36 similarly to MCF7 cells, is responsive to E2, forming osteolytic tumors in vivo. MDA-MB-231 cells activate osteoclasts in a paracrine manner. Conditioned media (CM) from MDA-MB-231 cells treated with bovine serum albumin-bound E2 (E2-BSA) increased activation of human osteoclast precursor cells; this was blocked by addition of anti-ERα36 antibody to the MDA-MB-231 cultures. Osteoclast activation and bone resorption genes were elevated in RAW 264.7 murine macrophages following treatment with E2-BSA-stimulated MDA-MB-231 CM. E2 and E2-BSA increased phospholipase C (PLC) and protein kinase C (PKC) activity in MDA-MB-231 cells. To examine the role of ERα36 signaling in bone osteolysis in TNBC, we used our bone-cancer interface mouse model in female athymic homozygous Foxn1nu mice. Mice with MDA-MB-231 tumors and treated with tamoxifen (TAM), E2, or TAM/E2 exhibited increased osteolysis, cortical bone breakdown, pathologic fracture, and tumor volume; the combined E2/TAM group also had reduced bone volume. These results suggest that E2 increased osteolytic lesions in TNBC through a membrane-mediated PLC/PKC pathway involving ERα36, which was enhanced by TAM, demonstrating the role of ERα36 and its membrane-associated signaling pathway in bone tumors. This work suggests that ERα36 may be a potential therapeutic target in patients with TNBC.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a notably high disability rate, primarily attributed to cartilage and bone degradation. The involvement of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) as a molecular chaperone in the inflammatory response of RA has been established, but its role in bone destruction remains uncertain. In the present study, the expression of HSP90 was augmented in osteoclasts induced by the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand. Additionaly, it was observed that the outcomes revealed a noteworthy inhibition of osteoclast formation and differentation when triptolide was utilized to hinder the expression of HSP90. Furthermore, the positive influence of HSP90 in osteoclast differentiation was substantiated by overexpressing HSP90 in osteoclast precursor cells. Mechanically, HSP90 significantly activated the TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)/Nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1) signaling axis, accompanied by markedly promoting osteoclast differentiation. This effect was consistently observed in the destructive joint of rats with collagen-induced arthritis, where HSP90 effectively activated osteoclasts and contributed to arthritic bone destruction by activating the TRAF6/NFATc1 signaling. Overall, the findings of this study provide compelling evidence that HSP90 exacerbates bone destruction in RA by promoting osteoclast differentiation through the activation of TRAF6/NFATc1 signaling, and interference with HSP90 may be a promising strategy for the discovery of anti-arthritic bone destruction agents.

Distinct cross talk of IL-17 & TGF-β with the immature CD11c + TRAF6 (-/-) -null myeloid dendritic cell-derived osteoclast precursor (mDDOCp) may engage signaling toward an alternative pathway of osteoclastogenesis for arthritic bone loss in vivo. Immun Inflamm Dis 2024; 12:e1173. [PMID: 38415924 PMCID: PMC10851637 DOI: 10.1002/iid3.1173] [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: 07/30/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dendritic cells (DCs), though borne heterogeneous, are the most potent antigen-presenting cells, whose critical functions include triggering antigen-specific naïve T-cell responses and fine-tuning the innate versus adaptive immunity at the osteo-immune and/or mucosal mesenchyme interface. We previously reported that immature myeloid-CD11c+ DCs/mDCs may act like osteoclast (OC) precursors (OCp/mDDOCp) capable of developing into functional OCs via an alternative pathway of inflammation-induced osteoclastogenesis; however, what are their contribution and signaling interactions with key osteotropic cytokines (i.e., interleukin-17 [IL-17] and transforming growth factor-β [TGF-β]) to bearing such inflammatory bone loss in vivo remain unclear to date. METHODS Herein, we employed mature adult bone marrow-reconstituted C57BL/6 TRAF6(-/-) -null chimeras without the classical monocyte/macrophage (Mo/Mϕ)-derived OCs to address their potential contribution to OCp/mDDOCp-mediated osteoclastogenesis in the chicken type-II-collagen (CC-II)-induced joint inflammation versus arthritic bone loss and parallel associations with the double-positive CD11c+ TRAP+ TRAF6-null(-/-) DC-like OCs detected in vivo via the quantitative dual-immunohistochemistry and digital histomorphometry for analyses. RESULTS The resulting findings revealed the unrecognized novel insight that (i) immature myeloid-CD11c+ TRAF6(-/-) TRAP+ DC-like OCs were involved, co-localized, and strongly associated with joint inflammation and bone loss, independent of the Mo/Mϕ-derived classical OCs, in CC-II-immunized TRAF6(-/-) -null chimeras, and (ii) the osteotropic IL-17 may engage distinct crosstalk with CD11c+ mDCs/mDDOCp before developing the CD11c+ TRAP+ TRAF6(-/-) OCs via a TGF-β-dependent interaction toward inflammation-induced arthritic bone loss in vivo. CONCLUSION These results confirm and substantiate the validity of TRAF6(-/-) -null chimeras to address the significance of immature mCD11c+ TRAP+ DC-like OCs/mDDOCp subset for an alternative pathway of arthritic bone loss in vivo. Such CD11c+ mDCs/mDDOCp-associated osteoclastogenesis through the step-wise twist-in-turns osteo-immune cross talks are thereby theme highlighted to depict a summative re-visitation proposed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to determine the anti-osteoclastogenic potential of ginsenoside Rb3 for the treatment of periodontitis. METHODS The anti-osteoclastogenic effect was determined using RANKL-induced RAW264.7 cells and murine bone marrow-derived macrophages followed by TRAP and phalloidin staining. Expression of osteoclastogenesis-related genes and proteins were examined by qPCR and WB. Activation of signaling pathways was detected by WB and IHC techniques. Experimental periodontitis rat model was built up by gingival injections of P. gingivalis LPS. After 21 days of Rb3 treatment, rats were sacrificed for micro-CT, IHC, H&E, and TRAP staining analyses. RESULTS Rb3 dramatically inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. Nfatc1, Mmp9, Ctsk, Acp5 mRNA, and MMP9, CTSK proteins were dose-dependently downregulated by Rb3 pretreatment. WB results revealed that Rb3 suppressed activations of p38 MAPK, ERK, and p65 NF-κB, and the inhibition of ERK was most pronounced. Consistently, IHC analysis revealed that p-ERK was highly expressed in alveolar bone surface, blood vessels, odontoblasts, and gingival epithelia, which were notably suppressed by Rb3 treatment. H&E staining and micro-CT analyses showed that Rb3 significantly attenuated gingivitis and alveolar bone resorption in rats. CONCLUSION Rb3 inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and attenuates P. gingivalis LPS-induced gingivitis and alveolar bone resorption in rats via ERK/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
During osteoclast differentiation, the expression of the transcription factor nuclear factor of activated T cell 1 (Nfatc1) increases in an autoproliferative manner. Nfatc1 isoforms are of three sizes, and only the short isoform increases during osteoclast differentiation. Genetic ablation of the whole Nfatc1 gene demonstrated that it is essential for osteoclastogenesis; however, the specific role of the Nfatc1 short form (Nfatc1/αA) remains unknown. In this study, we engineered Nfatc1 short form-specific knockout mice and found that these mice died in utero by day 13.5. We developed a novel osteoclast culture system in which hematopoietic stem cells were cultured, proliferated, and then differentiated into osteoclasts in vitro. Using this system, we show that the Nfatc1/αA isoform is essential for osteoclastogenesis and is responsible for the expression of various osteoclast markers, the Nfatc1 short form itself, and Nfatc1 regulators.

Abstract
Anethum graveolens L., known as European dill, is a versatile herb widely used in both traditional medicine and culinary practices. Despite its long-standing history, the potential impact of the water extract of A. graveolens seeds (WEAG) on bone health remains unexplored. In this study, we investigated the influence of WEAG on osteoclast differentiation and assessed its potential as an anti-osteoporotic agent. WEAG hindered osteoclast differentiation through the suppression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) expression in osteoclast-supporting cells and by directly targeting osteoclast precursor cells. WEAG significantly reduced the expression of key osteoclastogenic transcription factors, namely c-Fos and NFATc1, typically induced by RANKL in osteoclast precursors. This reduction was attributed to the suppression of both MAPKs and NF-κB pathways in response to RANKL. In vivo experiments further revealed that WEAG administration effectively reduces trabecular bone loss and weight gain triggered by ovariectomy, mimicking postmenopausal osteoporosis. Furthermore, our comprehensive phytochemical analysis of WEAG identified a range of phytochemical constituents, associated with bone health and weight regulation. Notably, we discovered a specific compound, isorhamnetin-3-O-glucuronide, within WEAG that exhibits anti-osteoclastogenic potential. Overall, this research elucidated the beneficial effects and mechanistic basis of WEAG on osteoclast differentiation and bone loss, indicating its potential as a viable alternative to address bone loss in conditions like postmenopause.

Abstract
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a crucial energy sensor of cellular metabolism under various metabolic stresses, such as oxidative stress and inflammation. AMPK deficiency increases osteoclast numbers and reduces bone mass; however, the precise mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to clarify the mechanistic connection between AMPK and osteoclast differentiation, and the potential role of AMPK in the anti-resorptive effects of several phytochemicals. We found that receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation, osteoclastic gene expression, and activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and NF-κB were promoted in cells transfected with AMPK siRNA. AMPK knockdown led to defective synthesis of heme oxygenase-1, an antioxidant enzyme, and the upstream mediator, nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2. Furthermore, treatment with N-acetyl-l-cysteine, an antioxidant, abolished osteoclast differentiation and MAPK/NF-κB activation induced by AMPK knockdown. AMPK activators, hesperetin, gallic acid, resveratrol, and curcumin, suppressed osteoclast differentiation via the activation of AMPK. These results suggest that AMPK inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation by enhancing antioxidant defense system and regulating oxidative stress. AMPK activation by dietary-derived phytochemicals may be effective for the treatment of bone diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iris Koreana NAKAI (IKN) is a flowering perennial plant that belongs to the Iridaceae family. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the effects of IKN on osteoclast differentiation in vitro and in vivo. We also sought to verify the molecular mechanisms underlying its anti-osteoclastogenic effects. METHODS Osteoclasts were formed by culturing mouse bone marrow macrophage (BMM) cells with macrophage colony-stimulating factor and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL). Bone resorption assays were performed on dentin slices. mRNA expression levels were analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Western blotting was performed to detect protein expression or activation. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced osteoclast formation was performed using a mouse calvarial model. RESULTS In BMM cultures, an ethanol extract of the root part of IKN suppressed RANKL-induced osteoclast formation and bone resorptive activity. In contrast, an ethanol extract of the aerial parts of IKN had a minor effect on RANKL-induced osteoclast formation. Mechanistically, the root part of IKN suppressed RANKL-induced p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation, effectively abrogating the induction of c-Fos and nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1) expression. IKN administration decreased LPS-induced osteoclast formation in a calvarial osteolysis model in vivo. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that the ethanol extract of the root part of IKN suppressed osteoclast differentiation and function partly by downregulating the p38 MAPK/c-Fos/NFATc1 signaling pathways. Thus, the root part.

Metastatic prostate cancer-derived extracellular vesicles facilitate osteoclastogenesis by transferring the CDCP1 protein. J Extracell Vesicles 2023; 12:e12312. [PMID: 36880252 PMCID: PMC9989745 DOI: 10.1002/jev2.12312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2022] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Bone metastases are still incurable and result in the development of clinical complications and decreased survival for prostate cancer patients. Recently, a number of studies have shown that extracellular vesicles (EVs) play important roles in tumour progression. Here, we show that EVs from metastatic prostate cancer cells promote osteoclast formation in the presence of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL). EV characterization followed by functional siRNA screening identified CUB-domain containing protein 1 (CDCP1), a transmembrane protein, as an inducer of osteoclastogenesis. Additionally, CDCP1 expression on plasma-derived EVs was upregulated in bone metastatic prostate cancer patients. Our findings elucidate the effect of EVs from metastatic prostate cancer cells on osteoclast formation, which is promoted by CDCP1 located on EVs. Furthermore, our data suggested that CDCP1 expression on EVs might be useful to detect bone metastasis of prostate cancer.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disease; however, effective pharmacological treatments still need to be discovered. This study aimed to identify new drug candidates for the treatment of osteoporosis. Here, we investigated the effect of EPZ compounds, protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) inhibitors, on RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation via molecular mechanisms by in vitro experiments. EPZ015866 attenuated RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation, and its inhibitory effect was more significant than EPZ015666. EPZ015866 suppressed the F-actin ring formation and bone resorption during osteoclastogenesis. In addition, EPZ015866 significantly decreased the protein expression of Cathepsin K, NFATc1, and PU.1 compared with the EPZ015666 group. Both EPZ compounds inhibited the nuclear translocation of NF-κB by inhibiting the dimethylation of the p65 subunit, which eventually prevented osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. Hence, EPZ015866 may be a potential drug candidate for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Epigenetic regulators are involved in osteoclast differentiation. This study proposes that the inhibitors of epigenetic regulators could be effective in the treatment of osteoporosis. This study identified GSK2879552, a lysine-specific histone demethylase 1 (LSD1) inhibitor, as a candidate for the treatment of osteoporosis from epigenetic modulator inhibitors. We investigate the function of LSD1 during RANKL-induced osteoclast formation. LSD1 small-molecule inhibitors effectively inhibit the RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation in a dose-dependent manner. LSD1 gene knockout in macrophage cell line Raw 264.7 also inhibits RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis. LSD1-inhibitor-treated primary macrophage cells and LSD1 gene knockout Raw 264.7 cells failed to show actin ring formation. LSD1 inhibitors prevent the expression of RANKL-induced osteoclast-specific genes. They also downregulated the protein expression of osteoclast-related markers in osteoclastogeneses, such as Cathepsin K, c-Src, and NFATc1. Although LSD1 inhibitors were shown to reduce the in vitro demethylation activity of LSD1, they did not modulate the methylation of Histone 3 K4 and K9 during osteoclastogenesis. The ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis model revealed that GSK2879552 slightly restores OVX-induced cortical bone loss. LSD1 can be employed as a positive regulator to promote osteoclast formation. Hence, inhibition of LSD1 activities is a potential target for preventing bone diseases characterized by excessive osteoclast activities.

A Low Concentration of Citreoviridin Prevents Both Intracellular Calcium Deposition in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell and Osteoclast Activation In Vitro. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28041693.

Abstract
Vascular calcification (VC) and osteoporosis are age-related diseases and significant risk factors for the mortality of elderly. VC and osteoporosis may share common risk factors such as renin-angiotensin system (RAS)-related hypertension. In fact, inhibitors of RAS pathway, such as angiotensin type 1 receptor blockers (ARBs), improved both vascular calcification and hip fracture in elderly. However, a sex-dependent discrepancy in the responsiveness to ARB treatment in hip fracture was observed, possibly due to the estrogen deficiency in older women, suggesting that blocking the angiotensin signaling pathway may not be effective to suppress bone resorption, especially if an individual has underlying osteoclast activating conditions such as estrogen deficiency. Therefore, it has its own significance to find alternative modality for inhibiting both vascular calcification and osteoporosis by directly targeting osteoclast activation to circumvent the shortcoming of ARBs in preventing bone resorption in estrogen deficient individuals. In the present study, a natural compound library was screened to find chemical agents that are effective in preventing both calcium deposition in vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs) and activation of osteoclast using experimental methods such as Alizarin red staining and Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining. According to our data, citreoviridin (CIT) has both an anti-VC effect and anti-osteoclastic effect in vSMCs and in Raw 264.7 cells, respectively, suggesting its potential as an effective therapeutic agent for both VC and osteoporosis.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are two common rheumatic disorders marked by persistent inflammatory joint disease. Patients with RA have osteodestructive symptoms, but those with AS have osteoproliferative manifestations. Ligaments, joints, tendons, bones, and muscles are all affected by rheumatic disorders. In recent years, many epigenetic factors contributing to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid disorders have been studied. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules implicated as potential therapeutic targets or biomarkers in rheumatic diseases. MiRNAs play a critical role in the modulation of bone homeostasis and joint remodeling by controlling fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), chondrocytes, and osteocytes. Several miRNAs have been shown to be dysregulated in rheumatic diseases, including miR-10a, 16, 17, 18a, 19, 20a, 21, 27a, 29a, 34a, 103a, 125b, 132, 137, 143, 145, 146a, 155, 192, 203, 221, 222, 301a, 346, and 548a.The major molecular pathways governed by miRNAs in these cells are Wnt, bone-morphogenic protein (BMP), nuclear factor (NF)-κB, receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK)-RANK ligand (RANKL), and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) receptor pathway. This review aimed to provide an overview of the most important signaling pathways controlled by miRNAs in rheumatic diseases.

Abstract
Bone metastasis resulting from advanced breast cancer causes osteolysis and increases mortality in patients. Kalkitoxin (KT), a lipopeptide toxin derived from the marine cyanobacterium Moorena producens (previously Lyngbya majuscula), has an anti-metastatic effect on cancer cells. We verified that KT suppressed cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro and in animal models in the present study. We confirmed that KT suppressed osteoclast-soup-derived MDA-MB-231 cell invasion in vitro and induced osteolysis in a mouse model, possibly enhancing/inhibiting metastasis markers. Furthermore, KT inhibits CXCL5 and CXCR2 expression, suppressing the secondary growth of breast cancer cells on the bone, brain, and lungs. The breast-cancer-induced osteolysis in the mouse model further reveals that KT plays a protective role, judging by micro-computed tomography and immunohistochemistry. We report for the first time the novel suppressive effects of KT on cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro and on MDA-MB-231-induced bone loss in vivo. These results suggest that KT may be a potential therapeutic drug for the treatment of breast cancer metastasis.

Abstract
CONTEXT Ferulic acid ethyl ester (FAEE) is abundant in Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. (Apiaceae) and grains, and possesses diverse biological activities; but the effects of FAEE on osteoporosis has not been reported. OBJECTIVE This study investigated whether FAEE can attenuate osteoclastogenesis and relieve ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis via attenuating mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). MATERIALS AND METHODS We stimulated RAW 264.7 cells with receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) followed by FAEE. The roles of FAEE in osteoclast production and osteogenic resorption of mature osteoclasts were evaluated by tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, expression of osteoclast-specific genes, proteins and MAPK. Ovariectomized (OVX) female Sprague-Dawley rats were administered FAEE (20 mg/kg/day) for 12 weeks to explore its potential in vivo, and then histology was undertaken in combination with cytokines analyses. RESULTS FAEE suppressed RANKL-induced osteoclast formation (96 ± 0.88 vs. 15 ± 1.68) by suppressing the expression of osteoclast-specific genes, proteins and MAPK signalling pathway related proteins (p-ERK/ERK, p-JNK/JNK and p-P38/P38) in vitro. In addition, OVX rats exposed to FAEE maintained their normal calcium (Ca) (2.72 ± 0.02 vs. 2.63 ± 0.03, p < 0.05) balance, increased oestradiol levels (498.3 ± 9.43 vs. 398.7 ± 22.06, p < 0.05), simultaneously reduced levels of bone mineral density (BMD) (0.159 ± 0.0016 vs. 0.153 ± 0.0025, p < 0.05) and bone mineral content (BMC) (0.8 ± 0.0158 vs. 0.68 ± 0.0291, p < 0.01). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS These findings suggested that FAEE could be used to ameliorate osteoporosis by the MAPK signalling pathway, suggesting that FAEE could be a potential therapeutic candidate for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Dysregulated osteoclast activity due to altered osteoclast differentiation causes multiple bone diseases. Osteoclasts are multinucleated giant cells derived from hematopoietic stem cells and play a major role in bone absorption. However, the mechanisms underlying the tight regulation of osteoclast differentiation in multiple pathophysiological status remain unknown.
Results
We showed that Bhlhe40 upregulation is tightly associated with osteoclast differentiation and osteoporosis. Functionally, Bhlhe40 promoted osteoclast differentiation in vitro, and Bhlhe40 deficiency led to increased bone mass and decreased osteoclast differentiation in vivo. Moreover, Bhlhe40 deficient mice resisted estrogen deficiency and aging-induced osteoporosis. Mechanism study showed that the increase in bone mass due to Bhlhe40 deficiency was a cell intrinsic defect in osteoclast differentiation in these mice. BHLHE40 upregulated the gene expression of Fos and Nfatc1 by directly binding to their promoter regions. Notably, inhibition of Fos/Nfatc1 abrogated the enhanced osteoclast differentiation induced by BHLHE40 overexpression.
Conclusions
Our research reveals a novel Bhlhe40/c-Fos/Nfatc1 axis involved in regulating osteoclastogenesis and shows that osteoporosis caused by estrogen deficiency and aging can be rescued by regulating Bhlhe40 in mice. This may help in the development of a new strategy for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Hyperoside (HP), as a natural product, can promote proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and presents a protective effect on ovariectomized (OVX) mice. However, the inhibitory effect of HP on osteoclasts (OCs) and the potential mechanism remain to be elucidated. In this study, it was found that HP could effectively inhibit the differentiation and bone resorption of OCs, and its intrinsic molecular mechanism was related to the inhibition of TRAF6/p38 MAPK signaling pathway. Therefore, HP could be a promising natural compound for lytic bone diseases.

Abstract
(1) Background: Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones are weakened and fractured easily because of various factors. It is mainly observed in elderly and postmenopausal women, and it continues to carry high economic costs in aging societies. Normal bone maintains a healthy state through a balanced process of osteoclast suppression and osteoblast activation; (2) Methods: In this study, osteoclast inhibition was induced by inhibiting osteoclast differentiation using ginseng protopanaxadiol-enriched rice (PPD-rice) seed extract. To analyze the effect of PPD-rice extract on the inhibition of osteoclast differentiation, bone marrow macrophages extracted from mice were treated with PPD-rice and Dongjin seed (non-transformed rice) extracts and analyzed for the inhibition of osteoclast differentiation; (3) Results: The results illustrated that PPD-rice extract reduced the transcription and translation of NFATc1, a modulator of osteoclast formation, decreased the mRNA expression of various osteoclast differentiation marker genes, and reduced osteoclast activity. Moreover, the bone resorptive activity of osteoclasts was diminished by PPD-rice extract on Osteo Assay plates; (4) Conclusions: Based on these results, PPD-rice extract is a useful candidate therapeutic agent for suppressing osteoclasts, an important component of osteoporosis, and it could be used as an ingredient in health supplements.

Abstract
Cathepsin K (CatK) is a part of the family of cysteine proteases involved in many important processes, including the degradation activity of collagen 1 and elastin in bone resorption. Changes in levels of CatK are associated with various pathological conditions, primarily related to bone and cartilage degradation, such as pycnodysostosis (associated with CatK deficiency), osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis (associated with CatK overexpression). Recently, the increased secretion of CatK is being highly correlated to vascular inflammation, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, Wegener granulomatosis, berylliosis, tuberculosis, as well as with tumor progression. Due to the wide spectrum of diseases in which CatK is involved, the design and validation of active site-specific inhibitors has been a subject of keen interest in pharmaceutical companies in recent decades. In this review, we summarized the molecular background of CatK and its involvement in various diseases, as well as its clinical significance for diagnosis and therapy.

A Novel RANKL-Targeted Furoquinoline Alkaloid Ameliorates Bone Loss in Ovariectomized Osteoporosis through Inhibiting the NF-κB Signal Pathway and Reducing Reactive Oxygen Species. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:5982014. [PMID: 36388169 PMCID: PMC9652067 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5982014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2021] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Dysregulation of osteoclast-osteoblast balance, resulting in abnormal bone remodeling, is responsible for postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) or other secondary forms of osteoporosis. We demonstrated that dictamnine (DIC), a novel RANKL-targeted furoquinoline alkaloid, inhibits osteoclastogenesis by facilitating the activities of reactive oxygen species (ROS), NF-κB, and NFATc1 in vitro and prevents the development of OVX-induced osteoporosis mouse models in vivo. Methods. The docking mechanism of DIC and RANKL was initially identified by protein–ligand molecular docking. RNA sequencing was performed and analyzed to reveal the potential mechanism and signaling pathway of the antiosteoporosis effects of DIC. To verify the sequencing results, we examined the impact of DIC on RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation, bone resorption, F-actin ring production, ROS generation, and NF-κB activation in osteoclasts in vitro. Moreover, a luciferase assay was performed to determine the binding and transcriptional activity of Nrf2 and NF-κB. The in vivo efficacy of DIC was assessed with an ovariectomy- (OVX-) induced osteoporosis model, which was analyzed using micro-CT and bone histomorphometry. Results. The molecular docking results indicated that DIC could bind particularly to RANKL. RNA-seq confirmed that DIC could regulate the osteoclast-related pathway. DIC suppressed osteoclastogenesis, bone resorption, F-actin belt formation, osteoclast-specific gene expression, and ROS activity by preventing NFATc1 expression and affecting NF-κB signaling pathways in vitro. The luciferase assay showed that DIC not only suppressed the activity of Nrf2 but also contributed to the combination of Nrf2 and NF-κB. Our in vivo study indicated that DIC protects against OVX-induced osteoporosis and preserves bone volume by inhibiting osteoclast activity and function. Conclusions. DIC can ameliorate osteoclast formation and OVX-induced osteoporosis and therefore is a potential therapeutic treatment for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bone absorption is necessary for the maintenance of bone homeostasis. An osteoclast (OC) is a monocyte-macrophage lineage cell that absorbs bone tissue. Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) are known to play important roles in regulating OC growth and differentiation. In this study, we examined specific downstream signal pathways affected by ERK inhibition during OC differentiation. Our results showed that the ERK inhibitors PD98059 and U0126 increased receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced OC differentiation in RAW 264.7 cells, implying a negative role in OC differentiation. This is supported by the effect of ERK2-specific small interfering RNA on increasing OC differentiation. In contrast to our findings regarding the RAW 264.7 cells, the ERK inhibitors attenuated the differentiation of bone marrow-derived cells into OCs. The ERK inhibitors significantly increased the phosphorylation of adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) but not the activation of p38 MAPK, Lyn, and mTOR. In addition, while the ERK inhibition increased the expression of the RANKL receptor RANK, it decreased the expression of negative mediators of OC differentiation, such as interferon regulatory factor-8, B-cell lymphoma 6, and interferon-γ. These dichotomous effects of ERK inhibition suggest that while ERKs may play positive roles in bone marrow-derived cells, ERKs may also play negative regulatory roles in RAW 264.7 cells. These data provide important information for drug development utilizing ERK inhibitors in OC-related disease treatment.

Abstract
Pathogenic variants of the gene Eda cause X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED), which is characterized by structural abnormalities or lack of ectodermal appendages. Signs of dysplasia are not restricted to derivatives of the ectodermal layer, but mesodermal abnormalities, such as craniofacial dysmorphism, are also frequently observed, suggesting close reciprocal interactions between the ectoderm and mesoderm; however, a causal link has remained unsubstantiated. We investigated the functional impact of defective ectodysplasin A1 (Eda1) signaling on postnatal bone homeostasis in Eda1-deficient Tabby mice. Interestingly, Eda1 was detected in wild-type mouse calvariae throughout postnatal lifetime. In calvariae, bone-lining Osterix (Osx)+ osteoblasts stained positive for Eda1, and osteoclasts were revealed as Eda receptor (Edar)-positive. Moreover, adult Eda1-deficient calvarial bone showed osteopetrosis-like changes with significantly diminished marrow space, which was maintained during adulthood. Concomitantly with osteopetrosis-like changes, Tabby calvarial bone and Tabby bone marrow-derived osteoclasts had far less osteoclastic activity-associated co-enzymes including cathepsin K, Mmp9, Trap, and Tcirg1 (V-type proton ATPase a3 subunit) compared with wild-type calvariae in vivo or osteoclasts in vitro, indicating that Eda1 deficiency may affect the activity of osteoclasts. Finally, we confirmed that nuclear Nfatc1-positive osteoclasts were strongly diminished during mature osteoclastic differentiation under M-CSF and RANKL in the Tabby model, while Fc-EDA treatment of Tabby-derived osteoclasts significantly increased nuclear translocation of Nfatc1. Furthermore, we identified enhanced Nfatc1 and NF-κB transcriptional activity following Fc-EDA treatment in vitro using luciferase assays. Overall, the results indicate that diminished expressions of osteoclastic activity-associated co-enzymes may lead to disturbed bone homeostasis in Tabby calvariae postnatally.

Thiaplakortone B attenuates RANKL-induced NF-κB and MAPK signaling and dampens OVX-induced bone loss in mice. Biomed Pharmacother 2022; 154:113622.

Abstract
Osteoclasts play an important role in maintaining the relative stability of bone mass. Abnormal number and function of osteoclasts are closely related to osteoporosis and osteolytic diseases. Thiaplakortone B (TPB), a natural compound derived from the Great Barrier Reef sponge Plakortis lita, has been reported to inhibit the growth of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, but its effect on osteoclastogenesis has not been previously investigated. In our study, we found that TPB suppresses the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast formation and resorption activity by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAcP) staining, immunofluorescence staining of F-actin belts and hydroxyapatite resorption assay. Furthermore, using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting analysis, we discovered that TPB inhibits osteoclast-specific genes and proteins expression. Mechanistically, TPB blocks multiple upstream pathways including calcium oscillation, NF-κB, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor of activated T cells 1(NFATc1) signaling pathways. In vivo, TPB could dampen bone loss in an ovariectomy (OVX) mouse model by micro-CT assessment and histological staining. Therefore, TPB may serve as a potential therapeutic candidate for the treatment of osteoporosis and osteolysis.

Oat Seedlings Extract Inhibits RANKL-Induced c-Fos/NFATc1 Transcription Factors in the Early Stage of Osteoclast Differentiation. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:5372459.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common disease that increases the risk of fractures due to decreased bone density and weakens the bone microstructure. Preventing and diagnosing osteoporosis using the available drugs can be a costly affair with possible side effects. Therefore, natural product-derived therapeutics are promising alternatives. Our study demonstrated that the oat seedlings' extract (OSE) inhibited the receptor activator of the nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis from the bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). The OSE treatment significantly attenuated the RANKL-mediated induction of the tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity as well as the number of TRAP-positive (TRAP+) multinucleated cells (MNCs) counted through the TRAP staining in a dose-dependent manner. It was also confirmed that the OSE suppressed the formation of the TRAP + MNCs in the early stage of differentiation and not in the middle and late stages. The results of the real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and the western blotting showed that the OSE dramatically inhibited the mRNA and protein expressions of the osteoclastogenesis-mediated transcription factors such as the c-Fos and the nuclear factor-activated T cells c1 (NFATc1). In addition, the OSE strongly attenuated the mRNA induction of the c-Fos/NFATc1-dependent molecules such as the TRAP, the osteoclast-associatedimmunoglobulin-like receptor (OSCAR), the dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP), and the cathepsin K. These results suggest that the naturally derived OSE may be useful for preventing bone diseases.

Abstract
Neddylation, or the covalent addition of NEDD8 to specific lysine residue of proteins, is a reversible posttranslational modification, which regulates numerous biological functions; however, its involvement and therapeutic significance in osteoporosis remains unknown. Our results revealed that during the soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (sRANKL)-stimulated osteoclast differentiation, the neddylation and expression of UBA3, the NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE) catalytic subunit, were dose- and time-dependently upregulated in RAW 264.7 macrophages. UBA3 knockdown for diminishing NAE activity or administering low doses of the NAE inhibitor MLN4924 significantly suppressed sRANKL-stimulated osteoclast differentiation and bone-resorbing activity in the macrophages by inhibiting sRANKL-stimulated neddylation and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)-activated transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) downstream signaling for diminishing nuclear factor-activated T cells c1 (NFATc1) expression. sRANKL enhanced the interaction of TRAF6 with the neddylated proteins and the polyubiquitination of TRAF6's lysine 63, which activated TAK1 downstream signaling; however, this process was inhibited by MLN4924. MLN4924 significantly reduced osteoporosis in an ovariectomy- and sRANKL-induced osteoporosis mouse model in vivo. Our novel finding was that NAE-mediated neddylation participates in RANKL-activated TRAF6-TAK1-NFATc1 signaling during osteoclast differentiation and osteoporosis, suggesting that neddylation may be a new target for treating osteoporosis.

Abstract
Changes in mitochondrial bioenergetics are believed to take place during osteoclastogenesis. This study aims to assess changes in mitochondrial bioenergetics and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels during polyethylene (PE)-induced osteoclastogenesis in vitro. For this purpose, RAW264.7 cells were cultured for nine days and allowed to differentiate into osteoclasts in the presence of PE and RANKL. The total TRAP-positive cells, resorption activity, expression of osteoclast marker genes, ROS level, mitochondrial bioenergetics, glycolysis, and substrate utilization were measured. The effect of tocotrienols-rich fraction (TRF) treatment (50 ng/mL) on those parameters during PE-induced osteoclastogenesis was also studied. During PE-induced osteoclastogenesis, as depicted by an increase in TRAP-positive cells and gene expression of osteoclast-related markers, higher proton leak, higher extracellular acidification rate (ECAR), as well as higher levels of ROS and NADPH oxidases (NOXs) were observed in the differentiated cells. The oxidation level of some substrates in the differentiated group was higher than in other groups. TRF treatment significantly reduced the number of TRAP-positive osteoclasts, bone resorption activity, and ROS levels, as well as modulating the gene expression of antioxidant-related genes and mitochondrial function. In conclusion, changes in mitochondrial bioenergetics and substrate utilization were observed during PE-induced osteoclastogenesis, while TRF treatment modulated these changes.

Abstract
Background Osteoblasts-Osteoclasts has been a major area in bone disease research for a long time. However, there are few systematic studies in this field using bibliometric analysis. We aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis and visualization study to determine hotspots and trends of osteoblasts-osteoclasts in bone diseases, identify collaboration and influence among authors, countries, institutions, and journals, and assess the knowledge base to develop basic and clinical research in the future. Methods We collected articles and reviews for osteoblasts-osteoclasts in bone diseases from the Web of Science Core Collection. In addition, we utilized scientometrics software (CiteSpace5.8 and VOSviewer1.6.18) for visual analysis of countries/regions, institutions, authors, references, and keywords in the field. Results In total, 16,832 authors from 579 institutions in 73 countries/regions have published 3,490 papers in 928 academic journals. The literature in this field is rapidly increasing, with Bone publishing the most articles, whereas Journal of Bone and Mineral Research had the most co-cited journals. These two journals mainly focused on molecular biology and the clinical medicine domain. The countries with the highest number of publications were the US and China, and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences was the most active institution. Regarding authors, Stavros C. Manolagas published the most articles, and Hiroshi Takayanagi had the most co-cited papers. Research in this field mainly includes molecular expression and regulatory mechanisms, differentiation, osteoprotection, inflammation, and tumors. The latest research hotspots are oxidative stress, mutation, osteocyte formation and absorption, bone metabolism, tumor therapy, and in-depth mechanisms. Conclusion We identified the research hotspots and development process of osteoblasts-osteoclasts in bone disease using bibliometric and visual methods. Osteoblasts-osteoclasts have attracted increasing attention in bone disease. This study will provide a valuable reference for researchers concerned with osteoblasts-osteoclasts in bone diseases.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is among the major contributors of pathologic fracture in postmenopausal women, which is caused by the bone metabolic disorder owing to the over-activation of osteoclasts. Inhibition of osteoclast differentiation and maturation has become a mainstream research interest in the prevention of osteoporosis. Isoliensinine (Iso) is a dibenzyl isoquinoline alkaloid with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer activities. However, whether it can be used as a potential treatment for osteoporosis remains undiscovered. Here, we investigated whether Iso might suppress the differentiation of osteoclasts in vitro and in vivo to play an anti-osteoporosis role. Our results showed that Iso inhibits the formation of mature multinuclear osteoclasts induced by RANKL, the bone resorption, and the osteoclast-specific genes expression by blocking the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65, and the effect was in a dosage-dependent way. Furthermore, we investigated the therapeutic effect of Iso on osteoporosis in ovariectomized (OVX) mice. We found that Iso attenuated bone loss in the OVX mice and significantly promoted BS, Conn. DN, Tb.Th, TB.N, and BV/TV Index. All in all, Iso showed a prominent effect of osteoclast inhibition, with great promise for treating osteoporosis.

Abstract
Objectives The first objective of this study was to probe the effects of genkwanin (GKA) on osteoclast. The second goal of this study was to study whether GKA can protect lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and ovariectomized (OVX) induced bone loss. Materials and Methods Various concentrations of GKA (1 and 10 mg/kg) were injected into mice. Different concentrations of GKA (1 and 5 μM) were used to detect the effects of GKA on osteoclast and osteoblast. Key Findings GKA attenuated the osteoclast differentiation promoted by RANKL and expression of marker genes containing c-fos, ctsk as well as bone resorption related gene Trap and to the suppression of MAPK signaling pathway. In addition, GKA induced BMMs cell apoptosis in vitro. Moreover, GKA prevented LPS-induced and ovariectomized-induced bone loss in mice. Conclusion Our research revealed that GKA had a potential to be an effective therapeutic agent for osteoclast-mediated osteoporosis.

Abstract
Cementum resorption, unlike bone resorption, is clinically known to occur only with limited pathological stimuli, such as trauma, orthodontic forces, and large apical periodontitis; however, the molecular mechanisms that control osteoclast formation on the cementum surface remain unclear. In this study, we focused on extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by cementoblasts and analyzed their effects on osteoclast differentiation. EVs were extracted from the conditioned medium (CM) of the mouse cementoblast cell line OCCM-30. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis confirmed the presence of EVs with a diameter of approximately 50–200 nm. The effect of the EVs on osteoclast differentiation was examined using the mouse osteoclast progenitor cell line RAW 264.7 with recombinant receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κB ligand (rRANKL) stimulation. EVs enhanced the formation of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity-positive cells upon rRANKL stimulation. EVs also enhanced the induction of osteoclast-associated gene and protein expression in this condition, as determined by real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. On the other hand, no enhancing effect of EVs was observed without rRANKL stimulation. A Western blot analysis revealed no expression of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) in EVs themselves. The effect on rRANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation was examined using the CM of cementoblasts in terms of TRAP activity-positive cell formation and osteoclast-associated gene expression. The conditioned medium partly inhibited rRANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and almost completely suppressed its enhancing effect by EVs. These results indicate that cementoblasts secreted EVs, which enhanced RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation, and simultaneously produced soluble factors that neutralized this enhancing effect of EVs, implicating this balance in the regulation of cementum absorption. A more detailed understanding of this crosstalk between cementoblasts and osteoclasts will contribute to the development of new therapies for pathological root resorption.

Abstract
Bone is a mineralized and elastic connective tissue that provides fundamental functions in the human body, including mechanical support to the muscles and joints, protection of vital organs and storage of minerals. Bone is a metabolically active organ that undergoes continuous remodeling processes to maintain its architecture, shape, and function throughout life. One of the most important medical discoveries of recent decades has been that the immune system is involved in bone remodeling. Indeed, chronic inflammation has been recognized as the most significant factor influencing bone homeostasis, causing a shift in the bone remodeling process toward pathological bone resorption. Bone osteolytic diseases typified by excessive bone resorption account for one of the greatest causes of disability worldwide, with significant economic and public health burdens. From this perspective, we discuss the recent findings and discoveries highlighting the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate this process in the bone microenvironment, in addition to the current therapeutic strategies for the treatment of osteolytic bone diseases.

Anti-Osteoporosis Effect of Perilla frutescens Leaf Hexane Fraction through Regulating Osteoclast and Osteoblast Differentiation. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27030824.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is the result of an imbalance in the bone-remodeling process via an increase in osteoclastic activity and a decrease in osteoblastic activity. Our previous studies have shown that Perilla frutescens seed meal has anti-osteoclastogenic activity. However, the role of perilla leaf hexane fraction (PLH) in osteoporosis has not yet been investigated and reported. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of PLH in osteoclast differentiation and osteogenic potential using cell-based experiments in vitro. From HPLC analysis, we found that PLH contained high luteolin and baicalein. PLH was shown to inhibit RANKL-induced ROS production and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multi-nucleated osteoclasts. Moreover, PLH significantly downregulated the RANKL-induced MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways, leading to the attenuation of NFATc1 and MMP-9 expression. In contrast, PLH enhanced osteoblast function by regulating alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and restoring TNF-α-suppressed osteoblast proliferation and osteogenic potential. Thus, luteolin and baicalein-rich PLH inhibits osteoclast differentiation but promotes the function of osteoblasts. Collectively, our data provide new evidence that suggests that PLH may be a valuable anti-osteoporosis agent.

The Neuropeptide VIP Limits Human Osteoclastogenesis: Clinical Associations with Bone Metabolism Markers in Patients with Early Arthritis. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9121880.

Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the direct action of VIP on crucial molecules involved in human osteoclast differentiation and function. We also investigated the relationship between VIP serum levels and bone remodeling mediators in early arthritis patients. The expression of VIP receptors and osteoclast gene markers in monocytes and in vitro differentiated osteoclasts was studied by real-time PCR. NFATc1 activity was measured using a TransAM® kit. Osteoclastogenesis was confirmed by quantification of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase positive multinucleated cells. OsteoAssay® Surface Multiple Well Plate was used to evaluate bone-resorbing activity. The ring-shaped actin cytoskeleton and the VPAC1 and VPAC2 expression were analyzed by immunofluorescence. We described the presence of VIP receptors in monocytes and mature osteoclasts. Osteoclasts that formed in the presence of VIP showed a decreased expression of osteoclast differentiation gene markers and proteolytic enzymes involved in bone resorption. VIP reduced the resorption activity and decreased both β3 integrin expression and actin ring formation. Elevated serum VIP levels in early arthritis patients were associated with lower BMD loss and higher serum OPG concentration. These results demonstrate that VIP exerts an anti-osteoclastogenic action impairing both differentiation and resorption activity mainly through the negative regulation of NFATc1, evidencing its bone-protective effects in humans.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a typical environmental endocrine disruptor that exhibits estrogen-mimicking, hormone-like properties and can cause the collapse of bone homeostasis by an imbalance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Various BPA substitutes, structurally similar to BPA, have been used to manufacture ‘BPA-free’ products; however, the regulatory role of BPA alternatives in osteoclast differentiation still remains unelucidated. This study aimed to investigate the effects of these chemicals on osteoclast differentiation using the mouse osteoclast precursor cell line RAW 264.7. Results confirmed that both BPA and its alternatives, bisphenol F and tetramethyl bisphenol F (TMBPF), were nontoxic to RAW 264.7 cells. In particular, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cell staining and activity calculation assays revealed that TMBPF enhanced osteoclast differentiation upon stimulation of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL). Additionally, TMBPF activated the mRNA expression of osteoclast-related target genes, such as the nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), and cathepsin K (CtsK). Western blotting analysis indicated activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway, including phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and p38. Together, the results suggest that TMBPF enhances osteoclast differentiation, and it is critical for bone homeostasis and skeletal health.

Abstract
Osteolytic bone disorders are characterized by an overall reduction in bone mineral density which enhances bone ductility and vulnerability to fractures. This disorder is primarily associated with superabundant osteoclast formation and bone resorption activity. Nicorandil (NIC) is a vasodilatory anti-anginal drug with ATP-dependent potassium (KATP) channel openings. However, NIC is adopted to manage adverse cardiovascular and coronary events. Recent research has demonstrated that NIC also possesses anti-inflammatory peculiarity through the regulation of p38 MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways. Both MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways play pivotal roles in RANKL-induced osteoclast formation and bone resorption function. Herein, we hypothesized that NIC may exert potential biological effects against osteoclasts, and revealed that NIC dose-dependently suppressed bone marrow macrophage (BMM) precursors to differentiate into TRAP + multinucleated osteoclasts in vitro. Furthermore, osteoclast resorption assays demonstrated anti-resorptive effects exhibited by NIC. NIC had no impact on osteoblast differentiation or mineralization function. Based on Biochemical analyses, NIC relieved RANKL-induced ERK, NF-κB and p38 MAPK signaling without noticeable effects on JNK MAPK activation. However, the attenuation of NF-κB and p38 MAPK activation was sufficient to hamper the downstream induction of c-Fos and NFATc1 expression. Meanwhile, NIC administration markedly protected mice from ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone loss through in vivo inhibition of osteoclast formation and bone resorption activity. Collectively, this work demonstrated the potential of NIC in the management of osteolytic bone disorders mediated by osteoclasts.

Abstract
Mentha arvensis L., is an aromatic herb that belongs to the Lamiaceae family and is widely used in medicinal applications, essential oil applications, and food flavoring. The extract of M. arvensis has been reported to exert sedative-hypnotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial effects. However, its effects on bone metabolism have not yet been studied. Here, we investigated the effects of the water extract of M. arvensis (WEMA) on osteoclast formation in vitro and bone loss in an ovariectomized mouse model. We found that WEMA inhibited osteoclast differentiation by directly acting on osteoclast precursor cells. WEMA inhibited receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced the expression of cellular oncogene fos (c-Fos) and nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1), crucial transcription factors for osteoclast differentiation, by suppressing RANKL-induced activation of early signaling pathways such as those of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). In addition, oral administration of WEMA suppressed ovariectomy-induced trabecular bone loss in mice. We additionally identified phytochemicals in WEMA that are known to have anti-osteoclastogenic or anti-osteoporotic properties. Collectively, these results suggest that WEMA is a promising herbal candidate that can be used to prevent or treat postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
Inflammatory diseases have a negative impact on bone homeostasis via exacerbated local and systemic inflammation. Bone resorbing osteoclasts are mainly derived from hematopoietic precursors and bone marrow monocytes. Induced osteoclastogenesis during inflammation, autoimmunity, metabolic diseases, and cancers is associated with bone loss and osteoporosis. Proinflammatory cytokines, pathogen-associated molecular patterns, or endogenous pathogenic factors induce osteoclastogenic differentiation by binding to the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family expressed on surface of osteoclast precursors. As a non-canonical member of the TLRs, radioprotective 105 kDa (RP105 or CD180) and its ligand, myeloid differentiation protein 1 (MD1), are involved in several bone metabolic disorders. Reports from literature had demonstrated RP105 as an important activator of B cells, bone marrow monocytes, and macrophages, which regulates inflammatory cytokines release from immune cells. Reports from literature had shown the association between RP105 and other TLRs, and the downstream signaling mechanisms of RP105 with different “signaling-competent” partners in immune cells during different disease conditions. This review is focused to summarize: (1) the role of RP105 on immune cells’ function and inflammation regulation (2) the potential regulatory roles of RP105 in different disease-mediated osteoclast activation and the underlying mechanisms, and (3) the different “signaling-competent” partners of RP105 that regulates osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Bone homeostasis is a metabolic balance between the new bone formation by osteoblasts and old bone resorption by osteoclasts. Excessive osteoclastic bone resorption results in low bone mass, which is the major cause of bone diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Small GTPases Rac1 is a key regulator of osteoclast differentiation, but its exact mechanism is not fully understood. ELMO and DOCK proteins form complexes that function as guanine nucleotide exchange factors for Rac activation. Here, we report that ELMO1 plays an important role in differentiation and bone resorption of osteoclasts. Osteoclast precursors derived from bone marrow monocytes (BMMs) of Elmo1–/– mice display defective adhesion and migration during differentiation. The cells also have a reduced activation of Rac1, p38, JNK, and AKT in response to RANKL stimulation. Importantly, we show that bone erosion is alleviated in Elmo1–/– mice in a rheumatoid arthritis mouse model. Taken together, our results suggest that ELMO1, as a regulator of Rac1, regulates osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption both in vitro and in vivo.

Gram-positive bacteria cell wall-derived lipoteichoic acid induces inflammatory alveolar bone loss through prostaglandin E production in osteoblasts. Sci Rep 2021; 11:13353. [PMID: 34172796 PMCID: PMC8233430 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-92744-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2020] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease associated with severe alveolar bone loss and is dominantly induced by lipopolysaccharide from Gram-negative bacteria; however, the role of Gram-positive bacteria in periodontal bone resorption remains unclear. In this study, we examined the effects of lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a major cell-wall factor of Gram-positive bacteria, on the progression of inflammatory alveolar bone loss in a model of periodontitis. In coculture of mouse primary osteoblasts and bone marrow cells, LTA induced osteoclast differentiation in a dose-dependent manner. LTA enhanced the production of PGE2 accompanying the upregulation of the mRNA expression of mPGES-1, COX-2 and RANKL in osteoblasts. The addition of indomethacin effectively blocked the LTA-induced osteoclast differentiation by suppressing the production of PGE2. Using ex vivo organ cultures of mouse alveolar bone, we found that LTA induced alveolar bone resorption and that this was suppressed by indomethacin. In an experimental model of periodontitis, LTA was locally injected into the mouse lower gingiva, and we clearly detected alveolar bone destruction using 3D-μCT. We herein demonstrate a new concept indicating that Gram-positive bacteria in addition to Gram-negative bacteria are associated with the progression of periodontal bone loss.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are two major mechanisms leading to the imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation rate, and subsequently, bone loss. Thus, functional foods and dietary compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory could protect skeletal health. This review aims to examine the current evidence on the skeletal protective effects of propolis, a resin produced by bees, known to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. A literature search was performed using Pubmed, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify studies on the effects of propolis on bone health. The search string used was (i) propolis AND (ii) (bone OR osteoporosis OR osteoblasts OR osteoclasts OR osteocytes). Eighteen studies were included in the current review. The available experimental studies demonstrated that propolis could prevent bone loss due to periodontitis, dental implantitis, and diabetes in animals. Combined with synthetic and natural grafts, it could also promote fracture healing. Propolis protects bone health by inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and promoting osteoblastogenesis, partly through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions. Despite the promising preclinical results, the skeletal protective effects of propolis are yet to be proven in human studies. This research gap should be bridged before nutraceuticals based on propolis with specific health claims can be developed.
