Osteocyte-Derived CaMKK2 Regulates Osteoclasts and Bone Mass in a Sex-Dependent Manner through Secreted Calpastatin. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:4718. [PMID: 36902150 PMCID: PMC10003151 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24054718] [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: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Calcium/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) regulates bone remodeling through its effects on osteoblasts and osteoclasts. However, its role in osteocytes, the most abundant bone cell type and the master regulator of bone remodeling, remains unknown. Here we report that the conditional deletion of CaMKK2 from osteocytes using Dentine matrix protein 1 (Dmp1)-8kb-Cre mice led to enhanced bone mass only in female mice owing to a suppression of osteoclasts. Conditioned media isolated from female CaMKK2-deficient osteocytes inhibited osteoclast formation and function in in vitro assays, indicating a role for osteocyte-secreted factors. Proteomics analysis revealed significantly higher levels of extracellular calpastatin, a specific inhibitor of calcium-dependent cysteine proteases calpains, in female CaMKK2 null osteocyte conditioned media, compared to media from female control osteocytes. Further, exogenously added non-cell permeable recombinant calpastatin domain I elicited a marked, dose-dependent inhibition of female wild-type osteoclasts and depletion of calpastatin from female CaMKK2-deficient osteocyte conditioned media reversed the inhibition of matrix resorption by osteoclasts. Our findings reveal a novel role for extracellular calpastatin in regulating female osteoclast function and unravel a novel CaMKK2-mediated paracrine mechanism of osteoclast regulation by female osteocytes.

Sequential cleavage of insulin receptor by calpain 2 and γ-secretase impairs insulin signalling. Diabetologia 2016; 59:2711-2721.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Soluble insulin receptor (sIR), the ectodomain of the insulin receptor (IR), has been detected in human plasma and its concentration paralleled that of blood glucose. We have previously developed an in vitro model using HepG2 liver-derived cells, which mimics changes in sIR levels in plasma from diabetic patients and shows that calcium-dependent proteases cleave IR extracellularly (a process known as shedding). The present study aimed to reveal the mechanisms of IR cleavage. METHODS Using the in vitro model, we investigated the molecular mechanisms of IR cleavage, which is accelerated by high-glucose treatment. We also analysed the relationship between IR cleavage and cellular insulin resistance, and the correlation between plasma sIR levels and insulin sensitivity, which was assessed by the euglycaemic-hyperinsulinaemic clamp technique. RESULTS Here, we determined that calpain 2, which is secreted into the extracellular space associated with exosomes, directly cleaved the ectodomain of the IRβ subunit (IRβ), which in turn promoted intramembrane cleavage of IRβ by γ-secretase. IR cleavage impaired insulin signalling and the inhibition of IR cleavage (by knockdown of calpain 2 and γ-secretase), restored IR substrate-1 and Akt, independent of IR. Furthermore, the glucose-lowering drug, metformin, prevented IR cleavage accompanied by inhibition of calpain 2 release in exosomes, and re-established insulin signalling. In patients with type 2 diabetes, plasma sIR levels inversely correlated with insulin sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Sequential cleavage of IR by calpain 2 and γ-secretase may contribute to insulin signalling in cells and its inhibition may be partly responsible for the glucose-lowering effects of metformin. Thus, IR cleavage may offer a new mechanism for the aetiology of insulin resistance.

Abstract
The neuroprotective property of quercetin is well reported against hypoxia and ischemia in past studies. This property of quercetin lies in its antioxidant property with blood-brain barrier permeability and anti-inflammatory capabilities. µ-Calpain, a calcium ion activated intracellular cysteine protease causes serious cellular insult, leading to cell death in various pathological conditions including hypoxia and ischemic stroke. Hence, it may be considered as a potential drug target for the treatment of hypoxia induced neuronal injury. As the inhibitory property of µ-calpain is yet to be explored in details, hence, in the present study, we investigated the interaction of quercetin with µ-calpain through a molecular dynamics simulation study as a tool through clarifying the molecular mechanism of such inhibition and determining the probable sites and modes of quercetin interaction with the µ-calpain catalytic domain. In addition, we also investigated the structure-activity relationship of quercetin with μ-calpain. Affinity binding of quercetin with µ-calpain had a value of -28.73 kJ/mol and a Ki value of 35.87 µM that may be a probable reason to lead to altered functioning of µ-calpain. Hence, quercetin was found to be an inhibitor of µ-calpain which might have a possible therapeutic role in hypoxic injury.

Abstract
Calpain was generally believed to exist and function only in the cytoplasm. However, m-calpain has now been detected in the extracellular spaces of some kinds of tissue. In this study, we demonstrated the existence of m-calpain in the medium surrounding MC3T3-E1 cultures, and its activity by zymography. At the same time, the amount of lactate dehydrogenase in medium of MC3T3-E1 culture was extremely low compared with other cell cultures, suggesting that m-calpain found in the culture medium of MC3T3-E1 cells originated mainly from active secretion. Moreover, the secretion of m-calpain was not blocked by brefeldin A, implying that m-calpain may be secreted by a nonclassical pathway. Recently, MC3T3-E1 has been reported to produce matrix vesicles and media vesicles, and we demonstrated m-calpain in these vesicles produced by MC3T3-E1 cultures. We therefore concluded that these vesicles are partly responsible for the secretion of m-calpain into the culture medium of MC3T3-E1 cells.

Abstract
Our previous reports revealed that calpain has proteoglycanase activity and exists in synovial fluid in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. We examined the effects of cytokines on expression of the calpain-calpastatin system in fibroblastic synoviocytes (FLS). Primary cultures of human FLS from osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients were stimulated with inflammatory cytokines and the amounts of m-calpain and calpastatin mRNAs expressed were determined by Northern blotting. Northern blots were subjected to computerized densitometer and band intensities were determined. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) down-regulated m-calpain and tissue-type calpastatin mRNA expression in OA and RA FLS. In RA FLS, although IL-6 did not alter m-calpain mRNA expression, IL-1 + tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and IL-1 + transforming growth factor (TGF) down-regulated m-calpain mRNA expression. These results provide new information about the effects of inflammatory cytokines on calpain and calpastatin system in OA and RA pathology.

Abstract
In autoimmune demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS), the degradation of myelin proteins results in destabilization of the myelin sheath. Thus, proteases have been implicated in myelin protein degradation, and recent studies have demonstrated increased expression and activity of a calcium-activated neutral proteinase (calpain) in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, the corresponding animal model of MS. In the present study, calpain activity and expression (at translational and transcriptional levels) were evaluated in white matter from human patients with MS and Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases and compared with that of white matter from normal controls. Western blot analysis revealed that levels of the active form of calpain and calpain-specific degradation products (fodrin) were increased by 90.1% and 52.7%, respectively, in MS plaques compared with normal white matter. Calpain translational expression was up-regulated by 462.5% in MS plaques compared with controls, although levels of the specific endogenous inhibitor, calpastatin, were not altered significantly. At the transcriptional level, no significant changes in calpain or calpastatin expression were detected by reverse transcription-PCR. Using double immunofluorescent labeling, increased calpain expression was observed in reactive astrocytes, activated T cells, and activated mononuclear phagocytes in and adjacent to demyelinating lesions. Calpain activity and translational expression were not increased significantly in white matter from patients with Parkinson's or Alzheimer's diseases compared with that of normal controls. Because calpain degrades all major myelin proteins, the increased activity and expression of this proteinase may play a critical role in myelinolysis in autoimmune demyelinating diseases such as MS.

Abstract
In demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS), myelin membrane structure is destabilized as myelin proteins are lost. Calcium-activated neutral proteinase (calpain) is believed to participate in myelin protein degradation because known calpain substrates [myelin basic protein (MBP); myelin-associated glycoprotein] are degraded in this disease. In exploring the role of calpain in demyelinating diseases, we examined calpain expression in Lewis rats with acute experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model for MS. Using double-immunofluorescence labeling to identify cells expressing calpain, we labeled rat spinal cord sections for calpain with a polyclonal millicalpain antibody and with mAbs for glial (GFAP, OX42, GalC) and inflammatory (CD2, ED2, interferon gamma) cell-specific markers. Calpain expression was increased in activated microglia (OX42) and infiltrating macrophages (ED2) compared with controls. Oligodendrocytes (galactocerebroside) and astrocytes (GFAP) had constitutive calpain expression in normal spinal cords whereas reactive astrocytes in spinal cords from animals with EAE exhibited markedly increased calpain levels compared with astrocytes in adjuvant controls. Oligodendrocytes in spinal cords from rats with EAE expressed increased calpain levels in some areas, but overall the increases in calpain expression were small. Most T cells in grade 4 EAE expressed low levels of calpain, but interferon gamma-positive cells demonstrated markedly increased calpain expression. These findings suggest that increased levels of calpain in activated glial and inflammatory cells in EAE may contribute to myelin destruction in demyelinating diseases such as MS.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is normally secreted in a latent form, and plasmin-mediated proteolytic cleavage of latency-associated peptide (LAP), a component of latent TGF-beta complex that makes the complex inactive, activates latent TGF-beta. In the present study, we investigated the possible involvement of calpain, one of the cysteine proteases, in the activation of latent TGF-beta. When recombinant latent TGF-beta was incubated with calpain (1-10 u/ml) in a test tube, calpain cleaved LAP and released mature TGF-beta from the latent complex. When calpain was applied to cultured bovine capillary endothelial (BCE) cells, a low concentration of calpain (0.05-0.1 u/ml) inhibited the migration and proliferation of the cells, and these inhibitory effects were abrogated by anti-TGF-beta antibody as well as by calpain inhibitor peptide, but not by alpha2-antiplasmin, a specific inhibitor of plasmin. Active TGF-beta was detected in the conditioned medium of BCE cells collected in the presence of calpain. Chemical cross-linking of (125)I-calpain to BCE cells followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis indicated that calpain bound to the cell surface through chondroitinase ABC-sensitive proteoglycan. In addition, treatment of the BCE cells with chondroitinase ABC abrogated the inhibitory effect of calpain on the migration of these cells. Our data thus suggest that calpain is able to activate latent TGF-beta through a mechanism independent of plasmin. This activation is efficient in the presence of cells, and calpain binds to the cell surface via proteoglycan and activates latent TGF-beta, which is targeted to the same surface.

Abstract
Calpain refers to Ca(2+)-dependent neutral cysteine proteinase, which originally was thought to be an intracellular proteinase but recently has been shown to function extracellularly as well. This report describes the immunohistochemical demonstration of calpain and biochemical changes in the amount of calpain during fracture healing in rats. The tibiae of 6-week-old Wistar rats were fractured, and calluses were obtained 5-28 days after fracture. A frozen section of the fracture callus was stained by the immunoperoxidase method with use of polyclonal antibodies of calpains I and II. Positive staining was noted with the anti-calpain II antibody in the perivascular areas, chondrocytes, and cartilage matrix in calluses at 5, 7, and 10 days. Less intense staining was seen in older calluses. The caseinolytic activity of calpain II reached its maximum on the 5th day, was high on the 7th and 10th days, and decreased rapidly thereafter. The quantity of calpain II was dependent on the process of fracture healing. It was concluded that calpain was working as one of the matrix proteinases in fracture callus.

Abstract
Recent work supports the hypothesis that calpain II can be exteriorized. Indeed, this cysteine calcium-dependent proteinase was shown to be intercellularly, and, more particularly, associated to extracellular matrix components. Thereby, calpain II could be involved in hydrolysis of pericellular matrix components such as fibronectin, which is known to play an important role in cellular differentiation. Our in vitro studies provide evidence that fibronectin is a potential substrate for calpain II. On cultured cells, our findings show that calpain II is able, on the one hand, to cleave the fibrillar network of fibronectin secreted by fibroblasts, and, on the other, to decrease dramatically the fibronectin amount secreted by myoblasts just before fusion. Moreover, following this treatment, myoblasts become spherical due to the cleavage of this attachment factor. However, these cells, plated on an appropriate substrate are still able to differentiate. Our results suggest that calpain II is indeed involved in myoblast fusion via the fibronectin cleavage since it is well established that myogenic lineages lose this glycoprotein at the time of fusion.

Abstract
Degradation of cartilage proteoglycans was investigated under neutral conditions (pH 7.5) by using pig kidney calpain II (EC 3.4.22.17; Ca(2+)-dependent cysteine proteinase). Aggregate and monomer degradation reached a maximum in 5 min at 30 degrees C when the substrate/enzyme ratio was less than 1000:1. The mode of degradation was limited proteolysis of the core protein; the size of the products was larger than that of papain-digested products and comparable with that of trypsin-digested products. The hyaluronic acid-binding region was lost from the major glycosaminoglycan-bearing region after incubation with calpain II. Calpains thus may affect the form of proteoglycans in connective tissue. Ca(2+)-dependent proteoglycan degradation was unique in that proteoglycans adsorb large amounts of Ca2+ ions rapidly before activation of calpain II: 1 mg of pig cartilage proteoglycan monomer adsorbed 1.3-1.6 mu equiv. of Ca2+ ions before activation of calpain II, which corresponds to half the sum of anion groups in glycosaminoglycan side chains. This adsorption of Ca2+ was lost after solvolysis of proteoglycan monomer with methanol/50 mM-HCl, which was used to desulphate glycosaminoglycans. Therefore cartilage proteoglycans are not merely the substrates of proteolysis, but they may regulate the activation of Ca(2+)-dependent enzymes including calpains through tight chelation of Ca2+ ions between glycosaminoglycan side chains.

Abstract
Calpastatin, the endogenous inhibitor of calcium-activated neutral proteases (calpains; EC 3.4.22.17), was studied in the rabbit vastus lateralis muscle by means of immunochemical and immunohistochemical techniques. Immunoaffinity chromatography using an antibody raised against the 34-kDa monomer of the 68-kDa dimeric inhibitor allowed us to isolate three main proteins (130-, 100- and 80-kDa). These proteins strongly inhibited calpain activity in muscle homogenate (I50 at about 50 micrograms/ml). Immunohistochemical experiments showed that calpastatin-related immunoreactivity was present in all fibre types (oxidative, glycolytic, oxidative-glycolytic) at both surface and cytoplasmic level. However, a few (20%) of the slow-twitch, oxidative fibres (5% of the total fibres), did not contain the cytoplasmic inhibitor. Specific immunoreactivity for calpastatin was also associated with the interstitial connective tissue. These results suggest that (i) calpastatin in skeletal muscle, as in other tissues, is present as a mixture of proteins of various molecular weights and (ii) the inhibitor may act not only in the cytoplasm but also at the surface or extracellular level.
