[PMID: 39093780 PMCID: PMC11296417 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000039138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Xianlinggubao formula (XLGB), is a traditional Chinese compound Medicine that has been extensively used in osteoarthritis and aseptic osteonecrosis, but its curative effect on diabetic osteoporosis (DOP) and its pharmacological mechanisms remains not clear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible mechanism of drug repurposing of XLGB in DOP therapy. We acquired XLGB active compounds from the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology and traditional Chinese medicines integrated databases and discovered potential targets for these compounds by conducting target fishing using the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology and Swiss Target Prediction databases. Gene Cards and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man® database were used to identify the DOP targets. Overlapping related targets between XLGB and DOP was selected to build a protein-protein interaction network. Next, the Metascape database was utilized to enrich the Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways. In addition, Auto-Dock Vina software was used to verify drug and target binding. In total, 48 hub targets were obtained as the candidate targets responsible for DOP therapy. The anti-DOP effect mediated by XLGB was primarily centralized on the advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-receptor for AGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications and osteoclast differentiation. In addition, AKT serine/threonine kinase 1, tumor necrosis factor, Interleukin-6, vascular endothelial growth factor A and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma, which were considered as potential therapeutic targets. Furthermore, molecular docking results confirm the credibility of the predicted therapeutic targets. This study elucidates that XLGB may through regulating AGEs formation and osteoclast differentiation as well as angiogenesis and adipogenesis against DOP. And this study provides new promising points to find the exact regulatory mechanisms of XLGB mediated anti-DOP effect.

Ann Anat 2024; 256:152314. [PMID: 39053668 DOI: 10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152314] [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: 05/03/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the potential effects of Bisphenol F and S exposure on the skeletal structures of Sprague-Dawley rats. Given the increasing concern about the potential endocrine-disrupting effects of Bisphenol analogs on bone health, this research sought to elucidate their impact in conjunction with Melatonin. Using 80 male Sprague Dawley rats, bones were subjected to a 3-point bending test to assess mechanical properties, and histopathological evaluation was conducted after fixation and decalcification. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. The results of the mechanical tests revealed significant differences in deformation and elastic modulus values between groups treated with Bisphenol F+Melatonin and Bisphenol S+Melatonin compared to the control groups. However, the histological images showed no significant differences between the groups. In the discussion, it was noted that the injection of Bisphenol F and Melatonin together increased bone hardness, suggesting that Bisphenol F and Bisphenol S may mitigate the negative effects of melatonin on bone. We attributed the absence of histological differences to the male gender of the studied rats and previous exposure considerations. This study shows that Melatonin can reduce Bisphenol F and Bisphenol S' rapid adjustment effects and increase bone elasticity. The side effects of Bisphenol F and S, as well as the prophylactic effects of Melatonin, can be observed and improved by carefully adjusting the duration, dose, and gender selection.

Front Immunol 2024; 15:1423510.

Abstract
Over the course of evolution, many proteins have undergone adaptive structural changes to meet the increasing homeostatic regulatory demands of multicellularity. Aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (aaRS), enzymes that catalyze the attachment of each amino acid to its cognate tRNA, are such proteins that have acquired new domains and motifs that enable non-canonical functions. Through these new domains and motifs, aaRS can assemble into large, multi-subunit complexes that enhance the efficiency of many biological functions. Moreover, because the complexity of multi-aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (mARS) complexes increases with the corresponding complexity of higher eukaryotes, a contribution to regulation of homeostatic functions in multicellular organisms is hypothesized. While mARS complexes in lower eukaryotes may enhance efficiency of aminoacylation, little evidence exists to support a similar role in chordates or other higher eukaryotes. Rather, mARS complexes are reported to regulate multiple and variegated cellular processes that include angiogenesis, apoptosis, inflammation, anaphylaxis, and metabolism. Because all such processes are critical components of immune homeostasis, it is important to understand the role of mARS complexes in immune regulation. Here we provide a conceptual analysis of the current understanding of mARS complex dynamics and emerging mARS complex roles in immune regulation, the increased understanding of which should reveal therapeutic targets in immunity and immune-mediated disease.

Hydroxychavicol Inhibits In Vitro Osteoclastogenesis via the Suppression of NF-κB Signaling Pathway. Biomol Ther (Seoul) 2024; 32:205-213. [PMID: 38298094 PMCID: PMC10902706 DOI: 10.4062/biomolther.2023.067] [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: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 07/15/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Hydroxychavicol, a primary active phenolic compound of betel leaves, previously inhibited bone loss in vivo by stimulating osteogenesis. However, the effect of hydroxychavicol on bone remodeling induced by osteoclasts is unknown. In this study, the anti-osteoclastogenic effects of hydroxychavicol and its mechanism were investigated in receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclasts. Hydroxychavicol reduced the number of tartrate resistance acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated, F-actin ring formation and bone-resorbing activity of osteoclasts differentiated from RAW264.7 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, hydroxychavicol decreased the expression of osteoclast-specific genes, including cathepsin K, MMP-9, and dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP). For mechanistic studies, hydroxychavicol suppressed RANKL-induced expression of major transcription factors, including the nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1 (NFATc1), c-Fos, and c-Jun. At the early stage of osteoclast differentiation, hydroxychavicol blocked the phosphorylation of NF-κB subunits (p65 and Iκβα). This blockade led to the decrease of nuclear translocation of p65 induced by RANKL. In addition, the anti-osteoclastogenic effect of hydroxychavicol was confirmed by the inhibition of TRAP-positive multinucleated differentiation from human peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMCs). In conclusion, hydroxychavicol inhibits osteoclastogenesis by abrogating RANKL-induced NFATc1 expression by suppressing the NF-κB signaling pathway in vitro.

Abstract
Psoriatic arthritis mutilans (PAM) is the rarest and most severe form of psoriatic arthritis, characterized by erosions of the small joints and osteolysis leading to joint disruption. Despite its severity, the underlying mechanisms are unknown, and no susceptibility genes have hitherto been identified. We aimed to investigate the genetic basis of PAM by performing massive parallel sequencing in sixty-one patients from the PAM Nordic cohort. We found rare variants in the NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) in four patients. In silico predictions show that the identified variants are potentially damaging. NOXs are the only enzymes producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). NOX4 is specifically involved in the differentiation of osteoclasts, the cells implicated in bone resorption. Functional follow-up studies using cell culture, zebrafish models, and measurement of ROS in patients uncovered that these NOX4 variants increase ROS levels both in vitro and in vivo. We propose NOX4 as the first candidate susceptibility gene for PAM. Our study links high levels of ROS caused by NOX4 variants to the development of PAM, offering a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
To discover novel osteoclast-targeting antiosteoporosis leads from natural products, we identified 40 tanzawaic acid derivatives, including 22 new ones (1-8, 14-19, 27-32, 37, and 38), from the South China Sea mangrove-derived fungus Penicillium steckii SCSIO 41025. Penicisteck acid F (2), one of the new derivatives showing the most potent NF-κB inhibitory activity, remarkably inhibited osteoclast generation in vitro. Mechanistically, 2 reduced RANKL-induced IκBα degradation, NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation, the activation and nuclear translocation of NFATc1, and the relevant mRNA expression. NF-κB p65 could be a potential molecular target for 2, which has been further determined by the cellular thermal shift assay, surface plasmon resonance, and the gene knock-down assay. Moreover, 2 could also alleviate osteoporosis in ovariectomized mice by reducing the quantities of osteoclasts. Our finding offered a novel potential inhibitor of osteoclastogenesis and osteoporosis for further development of potent antiosteoporosis agents.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This comprehensive review delves into the intricate interplay between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and osteoporosis, two prevalent conditions with significant implications for individuals' quality of life. The purpose is to explore their bidirectional association, underpinned by common pathological processes such as aging, genetic factors, inflammation, and estrogen deficiency. RECENT FINDINGS Recent advances have shown promise in treating both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and osteoporosis by targeting disease-specific proteins and bone metabolism regulators. Monoclonal antibodies against beta-amyloid and tau for AD, as well as RANKL and sclerostin for osteoporosis, have displayed therapeutic potential. Additionally, ongoing research has identified neuroinflammatory genes shared between AD and osteoporosis, offering insight into the interconnected inflammatory mechanisms. This knowledge opens avenues for innovative dual-purpose therapies that could address both conditions, potentially revolutionizing treatment approaches for AD and osteoporosis simultaneously. This review underscores the potential for groundbreaking advancements in early diagnosis and treatment by unraveling the intricate connection between AD and bone health. It advocates for a holistic, patient-centered approach to medical care that considers both cognitive and bone health, ultimately aiming to enhance the overall well-being of individuals affected by these conditions. This review article is part of a series of multiple manuscripts designed to determine the utility of using artificial intelligence for writing scientific reviews.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a chronic disease that endangers the health of the elderly. Inhibiting osteoclast hyperactivity is a key aspect of osteoporosis prevention and treatment. Several studies have shown that interferon regulatory factor 9 (IRF9) not only regulates innate and adaptive immune responses but also plays an important role in inflammation, antiviral response, and cell development. However, the exact role of IRF9 in osteoclasts has not been reported. To elucidate the role of IRF9 in osteoclast differentiation, we established the ovariectomized mouse model of postmenopausal osteoporosis and found that IRF9 expression was reduced in ovariectomized mice with overactive osteoclasts. Furthermore, knockdown of IRF9 expression enhanced osteoclast differentiation in vitro. Using RNA sequencing, we identified that the differentially expressed genes enriched by IRF9 knockdown were related to ferroptosis. We observed that IRF9 knockdown promoted osteoclast differentiation via decreased ferroptosis in vitro and further verified that IRF9 knockdown reduced ferroptosis by activating signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) to promote osteoclastogenesis. In conclusion, we identified an essential role of IRF9 in the regulation of osteoclastogenesis in osteoporosis and its underlying mechanism.

Tm4sf19 deficiency inhibits osteoclast multinucleation and prevents bone loss. Metabolism 2024; 151:155746. [PMID: 38016540 DOI: 10.1016/j.metabol.2023.155746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multinucleation is a hallmark of osteoclast formation and has a unique ability to resorb bone matrix. During osteoclast differentiation, the cytoskeleton reorganization results in the generation of actin belts and eventual bone resorption. Tetraspanins are involved in adhesion, migration and fusion in various cells. However, its function in osteoclast is still unclear. In this study, we identified Tm4sf19, a member of the tetraspanin family, as a regulator of osteoclast function. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigate the effect of Tm4sf19 deficiency on osteoclast differentiation using bone marrow-derived macrophages obtained from wild type (WT), Tm4sf19 knockout (KO) and Tm4sf19 LELΔ mice lacking the large extracellular loop (LEL). We analyzed bone mass of young and aged WT, KO and LELΔ mice by μCT analysis. The effects of Tm4sf19 LEL-Fc fusion protein were accessed in osteoclast differentiation and osteoporosis animal model. RESULTS We found that deficiency of Tm4sf19 inhibited osteoclast function and LEL of Tm4sf19 was responsible for its function in osteoclasts in vitro. KO and LELΔ mice exhibited higher trabecular bone mass compared to WT mice. We found that Tm4sf19 interacts with integrin αvβ3 through LEL, and that this binding is important for cytoskeletal rearrangements in osteoclast by regulating signaling downstream of integrin αvβ3. Treatment with LEL-Fc fusion protein inhibited osteoclast function in vitro and administration of LEL-Fc prevented bone loss in an osteoporosis mouse model in vivo. CONCLUSION We suggest that Tm4sf19 regulates osteoclast function and that LEL-Fc may be a promising drug to target bone destructive diseases caused by osteoclast hyper-differentiation.

Ulmus macrocarpa Hance trunk bark extracts inhibit RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and prevent ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in mice. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 319:117285. [PMID: 37839769 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Ulmus macrocarpa Hance (UmH) bark has been traditionally utilized for medicinal purposes. The bark extract of this plant has diverse health benefits, and its potential role in enhancing bone health is of distinct interest, particularly when considering the substantial health and economic implications of bone-related pathologies, such as osteoporosis. Despite the compelling theoretical implications of UmH bark in fortifying bone health, no definitive evidence at the in vivo level is currently available, thus highlighting the innovative and as-yet-unexplored potential of this field of study. AIM OF THE STUDY Primarily, our study aims to conduct a meticulous analysis of the disparity in the concentration of active compounds in the UmH root bark (Umrb) and trunk bark (Umtb) extracts and confirm UmH bark's efficacy in enhancing bone health in vivo, illuminating the cellular mechanisms involved. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Umrb and Umtb extracts were subjected to component analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography and then assessed for their inhibitory effects on osteoclast differentiation through the TRAP assay. An ovariectomized (OVX) mouse model replicates postmenopausal conditions commonly associated with osteoporosis. Micro-CT was used to analyze bone structure parameters, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and staining were used to assess bone formation markers and osteoclast activity. Furthermore, this study investigated the impact of the extract on the expression of pivotal proteins and genes involved in bone formation and resorption using mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). RESULTS The findings of our study reveal a significant discrepancy in the concentration of active constituents between Umrb and Umtb, establishing Umtb as a superior source for promoting bone health. I addition, a standardized pilot-scale procedure was conducted for credibility. The bone health benefits of Umtb were verified using an OVX model. This validation involved the assessment of various parameters, including BMD, BV/TV, and BS/TV, using micro-CT imaging. Additionally, the activation of osteoblasts was evaluated by Umtb by measuring specific factors such as ALP, OCN, OPG in blood samples and through IHC staining. In the same investigations, diminished levels of osteoclast differentiation factors, such as TRAP, NFATc1, were also observed. The observed patterns exhibited consistency in vitro BMM investigations. CONCLUSIONS Through verification at both in vitro levels using BMMs and in vivo levels using the OVX-induced mouse model, our research demonstrates that Umtb is a more effective means of improving bone health in comparison to Umrb. These findings pave the way for developing health-functional foods or botanical drugs targeting osteoporosis and other bone-related disorders and enhance the prospects for future research extensions, including clinical studies, in extract applications.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This comprehensive review discusses the complex relationship between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and osteoporosis, two conditions that are prevalent in the aging population and result in adverse complications on quality of life. The purpose of this review is to succinctly elucidate the many commonalities between the two conditions, including shared pathways, inflammatory and oxidative mechanisms, and hormonal deficiencies. RECENT FINDINGS AD and osteoporosis share many aspects of their respective disease-defining pathophysiology. These commonalities include amyloid beta deposition, the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and estrogen deficiency. The shared mechanisms and risk factors associated with AD and osteoporosis result in a large percentage of patients that develop both diseases. Previous literature has established that the progression of AD increases the risk of sustaining a fracture. Recent findings demonstrate that the reverse may also be true, suggesting that a fracture early in the life course can predispose one to developing AD due to the activation of these shared mechanisms. The discovery of these commonalities further guides the development of novel therapeutics in which both conditions are targeted. This detailed review delves into the commonalities between AD and osteoporosis to uncover the shared players that bring these two seemingly unrelated conditions together. The discussion throughout this review ultimately posits that the occurrence of fractures and the mechanism behind fracture healing can predispose one to developing AD later on in life, similar to how AD patients are at an increased risk of developing fractures. By focusing on the shared mechanisms between AD and osteoporosis, one can better understand the conditions individually and as a unit, thus informing therapeutic approaches and further research. This review article is part of a series of multiple manuscripts designed to determine the utility of using artificial intelligence for writing scientific reviews.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) is an enzyme that mainly degrades poly (ADP-ribose) (PAR) synthesized by poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family proteins. Although PARG is involved in many biological phenomena, including DNA repair, cell differentiation, and cell death, little is known about the relationship between osteoclast differentiation and PARG. It has also not been clarified whether PARG is a valuable target for therapeutic agents in the excessive activity of osteoclast-related bone diseases such as osteoporosis. In the present study, we examined the effects of PARG inhibitor PDD00017273 on osteoclast differentiation in RANKL-induced RAW264 cells. PDD00017273 induced the accumulation of intracellular PAR and suppressed the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cells. PDD00017273 also downregulated osteoclast differentiation marker genes such as Trap, cathepsin K (Ctsk), and dendrocyte expressed seven transmembrane protein (Dcstamp) and protein expression of nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1), a master regulator of osteoclast differentiation. Taken together, our findings suggest that dysfunction of PARG suppresses osteoclast differentiation via the PAR accumulation and partial inactivation of the NFATc1.

Abstract
Infection by bacterial products in the implant and endotoxin introduced by wear particles activate immune cells, enhance pro-inflammatory cytokines production, and ultimately promote osteoclast recruitment and activity. These factors are known to play an important role in osteolysis as well as potential targets for the treatment of osteolysis. Sesamin has been shown to have a variety of biological functions, such as inhibiting inflammation, anti-tumour and involvement in the regulation of fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism. However, the therapeutic effect of sesamin on osteolysis and its mechanism remain unclear. Present studies shown that in the condition of in vitro, sesamin could inhibit osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption, as well as suppressing the expression of osteoclast-specific genes. Further studies on the mechanism suggest that the effect of sesamin on human osteoclasts was mediated by blocking the ERK and NF-κB signalling pathways. Besides, sesamin was found to be effective in treating LPS-induced osteolysis by decreasing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inhibiting osteoclastogenesis in vivo. Sesamin was non-toxic to heart, liver, kidney, lung and spleen. Therefore, sesamin is a promising phytochemical agent for the therapy of osteolysis-related diseases caused by inflammation and excessive osteoclast activation.

Heliyon 2023; 9:e22365.

Abstract
Excessive osteoclast-mediated bone resorption is a critical cause of osteoporosis affecting many aging people worldwide. 5'-Methylthioadenosine (MTA) is a natural sulfur-containing nucleoside normally produced in prokaryotes, plants, yeast, and higher eukaryotes via polyamine metabolism. MTA affects various physiological responses particularly the inflammatory pathway in both normal and cancerous cells and modulates the activation of nuclear factor-κB involved in the osteoclastogenesis signalling process. While several studies have reported that natural products possess anti-osteoclastogenesis phenolics and flavonoids, the effect of nucleoside derivatives on osteoclastogenesis remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms by which MTA affects pre-osteoclastic RAW 264.7 cells as a potential alleviation compound for inflammation-mediated bone loss. Osteoclasts were established by incubating RAW264.7 macrophage cells with receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor, the vital cytokines for activation of osteoclast differentiation. Cell viability was measured using MTT assays at 24, 48, and 72 h. The suppressive effect of MTA on RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation and function was assessed using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) analysis, qRT-PCR, and pit formation, Western blot, and immunofluorescence assays. MTA showed dose-dependent anti-osteoclastogenic activity by inhibiting TRAP-positive cell and pit formation and reducing essential digestive enzymes, including TRAP, cathepsin K, and matrix metallopeptidase 9. MTA was observed to suppress the osteoclast transduction pathway through (RANKL)-induced nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFƘB); it attenuated NFƘB-P65 expression and down-regulated cFos proto-oncogene and nuclear factor of activated T cell c1 (NFATc1), the main regulators of osteoclasts. Moreover, the suppression of RANK (the initial receptor triggering several osteoclastogenic transduction pathways) was observed. Thus, this study highlights the potential of MTA as an effective therapeutic compound for restoring bone metabolic disease by inhibiting the RANK-NFATc1 signal pathway.

Obacunone targets macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) to impede osteoclastogenesis and alleviate ovariectomy-induced bone loss. J Adv Res 2023; 53:235-248. [PMID: 36657717 PMCID: PMC10658311 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2023.01.003] [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: 01/03/2022] [Revised: 09/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis is the most common bone disorder where the hyperactive osteoclasts represent the leading role during the pathogenesis. Targeting hyperactive osteoclasts is currently the primary therapeutic strategy. However, concerns about the long-term efficacy and side effects of current frontline treatments persist. Alternative therapeutic agents are still needed. OBJECTIVES Obacunone (OB) is a small molecule with a broad spectrum of biological activities, particularly antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. This study aims to examine OB's therapeutic potential on osteoporosis and explore the rudimentary mechanisms. METHODS Osteoclast formation and osteoclastic resorption assays were carried out to examine OB's inhibitory effects in vitro, followed by the in-vivo studies of OB's therapeutic effects on ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic preclinical model. To further study the underlying mechanisms, mRNA sequencing and analysis were used to investigate the changes of downstream pathways. The molecular targets of OB were predicted, and in-silico docking analysis was performed. Ligand-target binding was verified by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay and Western Blotting assay. RESULTS The results indicated that OB suppressed the formation of osteoclast and its resorptive function in vitro. Mechanistically, OB interacts with macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) which attenuates receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL)-induced signaling pathways, including reactive oxygen species (ROS), NF-κB pathway, and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). These effects eventually caused the diminished expression level of the master transcriptional factor of osteoclastogenesis, nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1), and its downstream osteoclast-specific proteins. Furthermore, our data revealed that OB alleviated estrogen deficiency-induced osteoporosis by targeting MIF and thus inhibiting hyperactive osteoclasts in vivo. CONCLUSION These results together implicated that OB may represent as a therapeutic candidate for bone disorders caused by osteoclasts, such as osteoporosis.

Abstract
Homeostatic imbalance involving progressive stimulation of osteoclast (OC) differentiation and function will lead to an increased risk of fragility fractures. In this regard, we investigated gallium acetylacetonate (GaAcAc) as a possible treatment for osteoclastic bone resorption. Further, the extent to which suitable delivery systems can enhance the therapeutic potential of GaAcAc was evaluated. GaAcAc solution (10-50 µg/mL) suppressed OC differentiation using murine monocytic RAW 264.7 or hematopoietic stem cells. Methylcellulose-based hydrogels were fabricated and characterized based on biocompatibility with bone cells, GaAcAc loading, and thermoresponsive behavior using storage (G') and loss (G″) moduli parameters. Compared to GaAcAc solution, hydrogels loaded with GaAcAc (GaMH) were more effective in suppressing OC differentiation and function. The number and extent of bone resorption pits from ex vivo studies were markedly reduced with GaMH treatment. Mechanistic assessment of GaMH efficacy showed superiority, compared to GaAcAc solution, in downregulating the expression of key markers involved in mediating OC differentiation (such as NFAT2, cFos, TRAF6, and TRAP) as well as in bone resorption by OCs (cathepsin K or CTSK). Additional studies (in vitro and in vivo) suggested that the performance of GaMH could be ascribed to controlled release of GaAcAc and the ability to achieve prolonged bio-retention after injection in BALB/c mice, which plausibly maximized the therapeutic impact of GaAcAc. Overall, the work demonstrated, for the first time, the therapeutic efficacy of GaAcAc and the therapeutic potential of GaMH delivery systems in osteoclastic bone resorption.

Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis larvae ethanol extract inhibits RANKL-stimulated osteoclastogenesis and ameliorates bone loss in ovariectomized mice. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 165:115112. [PMID: 37413903 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115112] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2023] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Modulation of osteoclast formation could be a therapeutic target for inhibiting pathological bone destruction. The receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κB ligand (RANKL) is known to be an essential factor in osteoclast differentiation and activation inducers. However, whether Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis (P. brevitarsis) larvae-a traditional animal-derived medicine used in many Asian countries-can inhibit RANKL-induced osteoclast formation and prevent ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone loss has not been evaluated. Here, we aimed to investigate the anti-osteoporotic effects of P. brevitarsis larvae ethanol extract (PBE) in RANKL-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and OVX mice. In vitro, PBE (0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/mL) decreased RANKL‑induced tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity and expression of osteoclastogenesis-associated genes and proteins. Furthermore, PBE (0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/mL) significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of p38 and NF-κB. Female C3H/HeN mice were divided into five groups (n = 5 per group), namely, sham-operated, OVX, OVX+PBEL (100 mg/kg, oral gavage), OVX+PBEH (200 mg/kg, oral gavage), and OVX+estradiol (0.03 μg/day, subcutaneous injection). High doses of PBE significantly increased femoral bone mineral density (BMD) and bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV), whereas femoral bone surface/bone volume (BS/BV) and osteoclastogenesis-associated protein expression decreased compared to those in the OVX group. Moreover, PBE (200 mg/kg) significantly increased estradiol and procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide and decreased N-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen compared to those in the OVX group. Our results suggest that PBE can be an effective therapeutic candidate for preventing or treating postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
Fungi have protruded with enormous development in the repository of drug discovery, making them some of the most attractive sources for the synthesis of bio-significant and structural novel metabolites. Benzophenones are structurally unique metabolites with phenol/carbonyl/phenol frameworks, that are separated from microbial and plant sources. They have drawn considerable interest from researchers due to their versatile building blocks and diversified bio-activities. The current work aimed to highlight the reported data on fungal benzophenones, including their structures, occurrence, and bioactivities in the period from 1963 to April 2023. Overall, 147 benzophenones derived from fungal source were listed in this work. Structure activity relationships of the benzophenones derivatives have been discussed. Also, in this review, a brief insight into their biosynthetic routes was presented. This work could shed light on the future research of benzophenones.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Neutrophil infiltration into the synovial joint is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a disease characterised by progressive bone erosion. However, the mechanisms by which neutrophils participate in bone destruction remain unclear. Carbamylation is a posttranslational modification linked to increased bone erosion in RA and we previously showed that carbamylation is present in RA neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). However, it remains unclear whether NETs and their carbamylated protein cargo directly promote bone destruction and alter osteoclast biology. METHODS NETs and carbamylated NETs (cNETs) were assessed for their capacity to induce osteoclast formation in CD14+ monocytes. Chemical inhibitors and neutralising antibodies were used to elucidate the pathway by which NETs induce osteoclastogenesis. HLA-DRB1*04:01 mice received intra-articular injection of cNETs for 4 weeks. Joints were isolated and assessed for osteoclast formation. Plasma and synovial fluid samples from patients with RA (n=32) were assessed for the presence of carbamylated histone, and correlations to disease specific outcomes were performed. RESULTS We found that NETs, when cNETs, instruct monocytes to undergo rapid osteoclast formation. NET-mediated osteoclastogenesis appears to depend on Toll-like receptor 4 signalling and NET-associated proteins including histones and neutrophil elastase. In vivo, we identified that the number of osteoclasts increased following immunisation with cNETs in HLA-DRB1*04:01 transgenic mice. Furthermore, carbamylated histones are increased in plasma and synovial fluid from patients with RA and correlate with active bone resorption and inflammatory markers. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that NETs have a direct role in RA-associated bone erosion by promoting osteoclast formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cytoskeletal architecture of osteoclasts (OCs) and bone resorption activity must be appropriately controlled for proper bone remodeling, which is associated with osteoporosis. The RhoA protein of GTPase plays a regulatory role in cytoskeletal components and contributes to osteoclast adhesion, podosome positioning, and differentiation. Although osteoclast investigations have traditionally been performed by in vitro analysis, however, the results have been inconsistent, and the significance of RhoA in bone physiology and pathology is still unknown. METHODS We generated RhoA knockout mice by specifically deleting RhoA in the osteoclast lineage to understand more about RhoA's involvement in bone remodeling. The function of RhoA in osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption and the mechanisms were assessed using bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) in vitro. The ovariectomized (OVX) mouse model was adopted to examine the pathological effect of RhoA in bone loss. RESULTS Conditional deletion of RhoA in the osteoclast lineage causes a severe osteopetrosis phenotype, which is attributable to a bone resorption suppression. Further mechanistic studies suggest that RhoA deficiency suppresses Akt-mTOR-NFATc1 signaling during osteoclast differentiation. Additionally, RhoA activation is consistently related to the significant enhancement the osteoclast activity, which culminates in the development of an osteoporotic bone phenotype. Furthermore, in mice, the absence of RhoA in osteoclast precursors prevented occurring OVX-induced bone loss. CONCLUSION RhoA promoted osteoclast development via the Akt-mTOR-NFATc1 signaling pathway, resulting a osteoporosis phenotype, and that manipulating RhoA activity might be a therapeutic strategy for osteoporotic bone loss.

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.

Insight into the Molecule Impact of Critical-Sized UHMWPE-ALN Wear Particles on Cells by the Alginate-Encapsulated Cell Reactor. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24043510.

Abstract
Wear particles of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) are inevitable during service as joint prosthesis, and particles ≤ 10 μm with critical size could cause serious osteolysis and aseptic loosening of joint prosthesis. The aim of this study is to adopt the alginate-encapsulated cell reactor to investigate the molecular impact of critical-sized wear particles of UHMWPE loaded with alendronate sodium (UHMWPE-ALN) on cells. Results showed that compared with UHMWPE wear particles, UHMWPE-ALN wear particles inhibited the proliferation of macrophages significantly after being co-cultured for 1, 4, 7, and 14 d. Furthermore, the released ALN promoted early apoptosis, suppressed the secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 of macrophages, and down-regulated relative gene expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β and RANK. In addition, compared with UHMWPE wear particles, UHMWPE-ALN wear particles promoted the ALP activity of osteoblasts, down-regulated the gene expression of RANKL, and up-regulated gene expression of osteoprotegerin. There were mainly two approaches of the effects of critical-sized UHMWPE-ALN wear particles on cells, one of which was cytology and the other was cytokine signal pathway. The former mainly affected the proliferation and activity of macrophages and osteoblasts. The latter would inhibit osteoclasts via cytokine and RANKL/RANK signal pathway. Thus, UHMWPE-ALN had the potential application in clinics to treat osteolysis induced by wear particles.

Cell surface-bound La protein regulates the cell fusion stage of osteoclastogenesis. Nat Commun 2023; 14:616.

Abstract
Multinucleated osteoclasts, essential for skeletal remodeling in health and disease, are formed by the fusion of osteoclast precursors, where each fusion event raises their bone-resorbing activity. Here we show that the nuclear RNA chaperone, La protein has an additional function as an osteoclast fusion regulator. Monocyte-to-osteoclast differentiation starts with a drastic decrease in La levels. As fusion begins, La reappears as a low molecular weight species at the osteoclast surface, where it promotes fusion. La's role in promoting osteoclast fusion is independent of canonical La-RNA interactions and involves direct interactions between La and Annexin A5, which anchors La to transiently exposed phosphatidylserine at the surface of fusing osteoclasts. Disappearance of cell-surface La, and the return of full length La to the nuclei of mature, multinucleated osteoclasts, acts as an off switch of their fusion activity. Targeting surface La in a novel explant model of fibrous dysplasia inhibits excessive osteoclast formation characteristic of this disease, highlighting La's potential as a therapeutic target.

METTL3 Regulates Osteoclast Biological Behaviors via iNOS/NO-Mediated Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Inflammatory Conditions. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24021403.

Abstract
Excessive differentiation of osteoclasts contributes to the disruption of bone homeostasis in inflammatory bone diseases. Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), the core methyltransferase that installs an N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification on RNA, has been reported to participate in bone pathophysiology. However, whether METTL3-mediated m6A affects osteoclast differentiation in inflammatory conditions remains unelucidated. In this study, we observed that the total m6A content and METTL3 expression decreased during LPS-induced osteoclastogenesis. After knocking down METTL3, we found reduced levels of the number of osteoclasts, osteoclast-related gene expression and bone resorption area. A METTL3 deficiency increased osteoclast apoptosis and pro-apoptotic protein expression. RNA sequencing analysis showed that differentially expressed genes in METTL3-deficient cells were mainly associated with the mitochondrial function. The expression of the mitochondrial function-related genes, ATP production and mitochondrial membrane potential decreased after METTL3 knockdown. Moreover, the most obviously upregulated gene in RNA-Seq was Nos2, which encoded the iNOS protein to induce nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. METTL3 knockdown increased the levels of Nos2 mRNA, iNOS protein and NO content. NOS inhibitor L-NAME rescued the inhibited mitochondrial function and osteoclast formation while suppressing osteoclast apoptosis in METTL3-silenced cells. Mechanistically, a METTL3 deficiency promoted the stability and expression of Nos2 mRNA, and similar results were observed after m6A-binding protein YTHDF1 knockdown. Further in vivo evidence revealed that METTL3 knockdown attenuated the inflammatory osteolysis of the murine calvaria and suppressed osteoclast formation. In conclusion, these data suggested that METTL3 knockdown exacerbated iNOS/NO-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction by promoting a Nos2 mRNA stability in a YTHDF1-dependent manner and further inhibited osteoclast differentiation and increased osteoclast apoptosis in inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a chronic skeletal condition characterized by low bone mass and deteriorated microarchitecture of bone tissue and puts tens of millions of people at high risk of fractures. New therapeutic agents like i-bodies, a class of next-generation single-domain antibodies, are needed to overcome some limitations of conventional treatments. An i-body is a human immunoglobulin scaffold with two long binding loops that mimic the shape and position of those found in shark antibodies, the variable new antigen receptors of sharks. Its small size (∼12 kDa) and long binding loops provide access to drug targets, which are considered undruggable by traditional monoclonal antibodies. Here, we have successfully identified a human receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) i-body, ADR3, which demonstrates a high binding affinity to human RANKL (hRANKL) with no adverse effect on the survival or proliferation of bone marrow-derived macrophages. Differential scanning fluorimetry suggested that ADR3 is stable and able to tolerate a wide range of physical environments (including both temperature and pH). In addition, in vitro studies showed a dose-dependent inhibitory effect of ADR3 on osteoclast differentiation, podosome belt formation, and bone resorption activity. Further investigation on the mechanism of action of ADR3 revealed that it can inhibit hRANKL-mediated signaling pathways, supporting the in vitro functional observations. These clues collectively indicate that hRANKL antagonist ADR3 attenuates osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption, with the potential to serve as a novel therapeutic to protect against bone loss.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Describe the potential contribution of disorganized tissue to the pathogenesis of bone abnormalities and fractures. Especially, fractures that are unexplained by bone loss (osteoporosis) or structural deterioration. RECENT FINDINGS Currently, bone fragility is primarily viewed as due to loss, or decay (osteoporosis). However, it is also acknowledged that this view is limited because it does not explain many fractures or abnormalities such as necrosis, sclerosis, or infarcts. Atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) during antiresorptive therapy are an example. Hence, it is proposed that another distinct mechanism is responsible for bone diseases. A remarkable bone property distinct from mass and decay is the organization (arrangement) of its components. Components must be perfectly assembled or well-stacked to ensure "the right amount of bone, at the right place". Disorganization is an aberration that is conspicuous in many diseases, more so in conditions poorly associated with bone mass and decay such as osteogenesis imperfecta, hypophosphatasia, and AFFs. However, despite the likely critical role of disorganization, this feature has received limited clinical attention. This review focuses on the potential contribution of disorganization to bone in health and diseases. Particularly, we propose that disorganization, by causing ineffective transfer of loads, may produce not only bone abnormalities (pain, necrosis, infarct, sclerosis, delayed healing) but also fractures, especially AFFs or stress fractures. A disorganized element is one that is where it shouldn't be (improperly stacked elements). Hence, disorganization can be measured by quantifying the extent to which a tissue (pixel within an image) is at an incorrect location.

Abstract
The shaping of bone structures relies on various cell types and signaling pathways. Here, we use the zebrafish bifurcating fin rays during regeneration to investigate bone patterning. We found that the regenerating fin rays form via two mineralization fronts that undergo an osteoblast-dependent fusion/stitching until the branchpoint, and that bifurcation is not simply the splitting of one unit into two. We identified tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteolytic tubular structures at the branchpoints, hereafter named osteolytic tubules (OLTs). Chemical inhibition of their bone-resorbing activity strongly impairs ray bifurcation, indicating that OLTs counteract the stitching process. Furthermore, by testing different osteoactive compounds, we show that the position of the branchpoint depends on the balance between bone mineralization and resorption activities. Overall, these findings provide a unique perspective on fin ray formation and bifurcation, and reveal a key role for OLTs in defining the proximo-distal position of the branchpoint.

Abstract
Aims Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are the endogenous inhibitors of the zinc-dependent matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and A disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAM) involved in extracellular matrix modulation. The present study aims to develop the TIMPs as biologics for osteoclast-related disorders. Methods We examine the inhibitory effect of a high affinity, glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-anchored TIMP variant named ‘T1PrαTACE’ on receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation. Results Osteoclast progenitor cells transduced with T1PrαTACE failed to form tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclasts or exhibit bone-resorbing activity following treatment with RANKL. At the messenger RNA level, T1PrαTACE strongly attenuated expression of key osteoclast marker genes that included TRAP, cathepsin K, osteoclast stimulatory transmembrane protein ( OC-STAMP), dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein ( DC-STAMP), osteoclast-associated receptor ( OSCAR) , and ATPase H+-transporting V0 subunit d2 ( ATP6V0D2) by blocking autoamplification of nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1), the osteoclastogenic transcription factor. T1PrαTACE selectively extended p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase activation, an action that may have interrupted terminal differentiation of osteoclasts. Inhibition studies with broad-spectrum hydroxamate inhibitors confirmed that the anti-resorptive activity of T1PrαTACE was not reliant on its metalloproteinase-inhibitory activity. Conclusion T1PrαTACE disrupts the RANKL-NFATc1 signalling pathway, which leads to osteoclast dysfunction. As a novel candidate in the prevention of osteoclastogenesis, the TIMP could potentially be developed for the treatment of osteoclast-related disorders such as osteoporosis.

Abstract
Metabolism is an essential part of life that provides energy for cell growth. During metabolic flux, reactive electrophiles are produced that covalently modify macromolecules, leading to detrimental cellular effects. Methylglyoxal (MG) is an abundant electrophile formed from lipid, protein, and glucose metabolism at intracellular levels of 1-4 μM. MG covalently modifies DNA, RNA, and protein, forming advanced glycation end products (MG-AGEs). MG and MG-AGEs are associated with the onset and progression of many pathologies including diabetes, cancer, and liver and kidney disease. Regulating MG and MG-AGEs is a potential strategy to prevent disease, and they may also have utility as biomarkers to predict disease risk, onset, and progression. Here, we review recent advances and knowledge surrounding MG, including its production and elimination, mechanisms of MG-AGEs formation, the physiological impact of MG and MG-AGEs in disease onset and progression, and the latter in the context of its receptor RAGE. We also discuss methods for measuring MG and MG-AGEs and their clinical application as prognostic biomarkers to allow for early detection and intervention prior to disease onset. Finally, we consider relevant clinical applications and current therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting MG, MG-AGEs, and RAGE to ultimately improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is the most common orthopedic disease in the elderly and the main cause of age-related mortality and disability. However, no satisfactory intervention is currently available in clinical practice. Thus, an effective therapy to prevent or delay the development of OP should be devised. Osteoclastogenesis overactivation and excessive bone resorption are the main characteristics of OP. Accordingly, a paradigm for nanozyme-mediated normalization of the disease microenvironment to regulate osteoclast differentiation and delay OP is proposed. Hollow Prussian blue nanozymes (HPBZs) are prepared via template-free hydrothermal synthesis and selected as representative nanozymes. The intrinsic osteoclast activity-remodeling bioactivities of the HPBZs are explored in vitro and in vivo, focusing on their impact on osteogenesis and specific molecular mechanisms using an OP murine model. The HPBZs significantly normalize the OP microenvironment, thereby inhibiting osteoclast formation and osteoclast resorption, possibly owing to the suppression of intracellular reactive oxygen species generation, the mitogen-activated protein kinase, and nuclear factor κB signaling pathways. Consistently, in an ovariectomy-induced OP murine model, HPBZ treatment significantly attenuates osteoporotic bone loss in vivo. The findings confirm the HPBZ-mediated normalization of the disease microenvironment for the treatment of OP and suggest its application to other inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this review, we critically evaluate the literature for osteoclast heterogeneity, including heterogeneity in osteoclast behavior, which has hitherto been unstudied and has only recently come to attention. We give a critical review centered on four recent high-impact papers on this topic and aim to shed light on the elusive biology of osteoclasts and focus on the variant features of osteoclasts that diverge from the classical viewpoint. RECENT FINDINGS Osteoclasts originate from the myeloid lineage and are best known for their unique ability to resorb bone. For decades, osteoclasts have been defined simply as multinucleated cells positive for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity and quantified relative to the bone perimeter or surface in histomorphometric analyses. However, several recent, high-profile studies have demonstrated the existence of heterogeneous osteoclast populations, with variable origins and functions depending on the microenvironment. This includes long-term persisting osteoclasts, inflammatory osteoclasts, recycling osteoclasts (osteomorphs), and bone resorption modes. Most of these findings have been revealed through murine studies and have helped identify new targets for human studies. These studies have also uncovered distinct sets of behavioral patterns in heterogeneous osteoclast cultures. The underlying osteoclast heterogeneity likely drives differences in bone remodeling, altering patient risk for osteoporosis and fracture. Thus, identifying the underlying key features of osteoclast heterogeneity may help in better targeting bone diseases.

Abstract
Osteoclasts undergo active metabolic reprogramming to acquire the energy needed during differentiation and bone resorption. Compared with immature osteoclasts, mature osteoclasts comprise higher levels of electron transport chain enzymes and more metabolically active mitochondria. Of all energy metabolism pathways, oxidative phosphorylation is considered to be the most efficient in supplying energy to osteoclasts. We found that the malate-aspartate shuttle inhibitor aminooxyacetic acid hemihydrochloride inhibits osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption by inhibiting exchange of reducing equivalents between the cytosol and the mitochondrial matrix and attenuating mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in vitro. The weakening of the oxidative phosphorylation pathway resulted in reduced mitochondrial function and inadequate energy supply along with reduced reactive oxygen species production. Furthermore, treatment with aminooxyacetic acid hemihydrochloride helped recover bone loss in ovariectomized mice. Our findings highlight the potential of interfering with the osteoclast intrinsic energy metabolism pathway as a treatment for osteoclast-mediated osteolytic diseases.

Abstract
Osteoclastogenesis is an ongoing rigorous course that includes osteoclast precursors fusion and bone resorption executed by degradative enzymes. Osteoclastogenesis is controlled by endogenous signaling and/or regulators or affected by exogenous conditions and can also be controlled both internally and externally. More evidence indicates that autophagy, inflammation, and immunity are closely related to osteoclastogenesis and involve multiple intracellular organelles (e.g., lysosomes and autophagosomes) and certain inflammatory or immunological factors. Based on the literature on osteoclastogenesis induced by different regulatory aspects, emerging basic cross-studies have reported the emerging disquisitive orientation for osteoclast differentiation and function. In this review, we summarize the partial potential therapeutic targets for osteoclast differentiation and function, including the signaling pathways and various cellular processes.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing cells that undergo extensive changes in morphology throughout their differentiation. Altered osteoclast differentiation and activity lead to changes in pathological bone resorption. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a kinase, and aberrant mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling is associated with altered bone homeostasis. The activation of mTORC1 is biphasically regulated during osteoclastogenesis; however, the mechanism behind mTORC1-mediated regulation of osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption is incompletely understood. Here, we found that MYC coordinates the dynamic regulation of mTORC1 activation during osteoclastogenesis. MYC-deficiency blocked the early activation of mTORC1 and also reversed the decreased activity of mTORC1 at the late stage of osteoclastogenesis. The suppression of mTORC1 activity by rapamycin in mature osteoclasts enhances bone resorption activity despite the indispensable role of high mTORC1 activation in osteoclast formation in both mouse and human cells. Mechanistically, MYC induces Growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible protein (GADD34) expression and suppresses mTORC1 activity at the late phase of osteoclastogenesis. Taken together, our findings identify a MYC-GADD34 axis as an upstream regulator of dynamic mTORC1 activation in osteoclastogenesis and highlight the interplay between MYC and mTORC1 pathways in determining osteoclast activity.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) has severely affected human health, which is characterized by abnormal differentiation of osteoclasts. Urolithin B (UB), as a potential natural drug, has been reported to exhibit numerous biological activities including antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory but its effects on OP, especially on RANKL‐stimulated osteoclast formation and activation, are still understood. In our study, we have demonstrated for the first time that UB inhibits RANKL‐induced osteoclast differentiation and explored its potential mechanisms of action. The RAW264.7 cells were cultured and induced with RANKL followed by UB treatment. Then, the effects of UB on mature osteoclast differentiation were evaluated by counting tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)‐positive multinucleated cells and F‐actin ring analysis. Moreover, the effects of UB on RANKL‐induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured by 2′, 7′‐dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH‐DA) staining. Further, we explored the potential mechanisms of these downregulation effects by performing Western blotting and quantitative RT‐PCR examination. We found that UB represses osteoclastogenesis, F‐actin belts formation, osteoclast‐specific gene expressions and ROS activity in a time‐ and concentration‐dependent manner. Mechanistically, UB attenuates intracellular ROS levels by upregulation of Nrf2 and other ROS scavenging enzymes activation. Furthermore, UB also inhibited RANKL‐induced NF‐κB, MAPK and Akt signalling pathway and suppressed expression of c‐Fos and nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1), which is the master transcription factor of osteoclast differentiation. Taken together, our findings confirm that UB is a polyphenolic compound that can be a potential therapeutic treatment for osteoclast‐related bone diseases such as osteoporosis.

IFT80 negatively regulates osteoclast differentiation via association with Cbl-b to disrupt TRAF6 stabilization and activation. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2022; 119:e2201490119.

Abstract
Osteoclasts (OCs) are the sole bone resorbing cells indispensable for bone remodeling. Hence, understanding of novel signaling modulators regulating OC formation is clinically important. Intraflagellar transport (IFT) proteins are important for cilia, cell signaling, and organ development. It remains unclear whether IFT80 plays a role in OCs. This study uncovers an intriguing role of IFT80 in OCs where the ciliary protein regulates the stability of critical OC factor TRAF6 via Cbl-b and thereby contributes to the maintenance of OC numbers. These findings provide further basis for understanding and delineating the role of IFT proteins in OCs that may provide new strategies for treatment of osteolytic diseases. Excess bone loss due to increased osteoclastogenesis is a significant clinical problem. Intraflagellar transport (IFT) proteins have been reported to regulate cell growth and differentiation. The role of IFT80, an IFT complex B protein, in osteoclasts (OCs) is completely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that deletion of IFT80 in the myeloid lineage led to increased OC formation and activity accompanied by severe bone loss in mice. IFT80 regulated OC formation by associating with Casitas B-lineage lymphoma proto-oncogene-b (Cbl-b) to promote protein stabilization and proteasomal degradation of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor–associated factor 6 (TRAF6). IFT80 knockdown resulted in increased ubiquitination of Cbl-b and higher TRAF6 levels, thereby hyperactivating the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κβ (NF-κβ) ligand (RANKL) signaling axis and increased OC formation. Ectopic overexpression of IFT80 rescued osteolysis in a calvarial model of bone loss. We have thus identified a negative function of IFT80 in OCs.

Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis (PPO) triggered by wear particles is the most severe complication of total joint replacement (TJR) surgeries, representing the major cause of implant failure, which is public health concern worldwide. Previous studies have confirmed the specialized role of osteoclast-induced progressive bone destruction in the progression of PPO. Additionally, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by wear particles can promote excessive osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 4 (NOX4), a cellular enzyme, is considered to be responsible for the production of ROS and the formation of mature osteoclasts. However, NOX4 involvement in PPO has not yet been elucidated. Therefore, we investigated the mechanism by which NOX4 regulates osteoclast differentiation and the therapeutic effects on titanium nanoparticle-induced bone destruction. We found that NOX4 blockade suppressed osteoclastogenesis and enhanced the scavenging of intracellular ROS. Our rescue experiment revealed that nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) silencing reversed the effects of NOX4 blockade on ROS production and osteoclast differentiation. In addition, we found increased expression levels of NOX4 in PPO tissues, while NOX4 inhibition in vivo exerted protective effects on titanium nanoparticle-induced osteolysis through antiosteoclastic and antioxidant effects. Collectively, these findings suggested that NOX4 blockade suppresses titanium nanoparticle-induced bone destruction via activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway and that NOX4 blockade may be an attractive therapeutic approach for preventing PPO.

Protection against Osteoporosis by Fermented Mulberry Vinegar Supplementation via Inhibiting Osteoclastic Activity in Ovariectomized Rats and Osteoclastic Cells. FERMENTATION-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
Menopause increases the osteoporosis risk, to which phytoestrogen intake can be beneficial. This study hypothesized that mulberry vinegar had a preventive effect on osteoporosis by decreasing osteoclastic activity. The hypothesis was tested in ovariectomized (OVX) rats and RANKL-differentiated osteoclast cells. OVX rats were given 0(OVX-CON), 0.5(OVX-MVL), 1(OVX-MVM), and 2(OVX-MVH) fermented mulberry vinegar (MV) mL/kg body weight (BW) daily for 12 weeks. Sham-operated rats had no MV supplementation (Normal-CON). The osteoporosis-related biomarkers were measured, and Micro-CT determined the bone mass of the femur. RANKL-differentiated Raw 264.7 cells were treated with MV (0–100 μg/mL). The cell viability, osteoporosis-related mRNA expression, and protein contents were measured. MV contained Acetobacter pasteurianus (7.31 log CFU/mL), citric acid (106 mg/mL), lactic acid (19.2 mg/mL), acetic acid (15.0 mg/mL), and rutin (0.36 mg/mL). OVX-MVM elevated the serum 17β-estradiol concentration similar to the Normal-CON group, but it did not prevent the decrease in uterine weight. OVX-MVM prevented the increase in osteoclastic-related parameters, including cathepsin K(CtsK), receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) in the circulation. OVX-MVH also lowered C-telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen as much as the Normal-CON group (p < 0.05). By contrast, OVX-MVH increased the serum osteoprotegerin concentration, an inhibitor of osteoclasts, better than the Normal-CON group (p < 0.05). These changes were integrated to alter the bone mineral density (BMD) in Micro-CT analysis: OVX-MVM and OVX-MVH prevented BMD decrease after OVX as much as the Normal-CON. In RANKL-differentiated osteoclast cells, the MV treatment for 24 and 48 h decreased RANKL-induced differentiation in osteoclast cells dose-dependently up to 100 µg/mL. Its decrease was related to inhibiting the TRAP activity and reducing TRAP-positive multinucleated cells during the five-day administration of RANKL. MV treatments also decreased mRNA expression of osteoclast-related genes (TRAP, Ctsk, OSCAR, and NFATc1). MV suppressed the protein contents of NFATc1 and c-FOS-related osteoclast. In conclusion, MV intake (1 mg/kg bw) protected against BMD loss mainly by inhibiting the osteoclastic activity (RANKL/RANK/TRAP) in OVX rats. MV may develop as a functional food for anti-osteoporosis in menopausal women.

Abstract
Bone loss due to an increased osteoclast activity is common in osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. For the first time, we observed an inhibition of osteoclast formation and bone resorption by outer-membrane vesicles (OMVs) from a Gram-negative, pathogenic bacterium, Proteus mirabilis (P.M). Gene ontogeny and KEGG enrichment analyses of miRNA and mRNA sequencing data demonstrated a significant effect of P.M OMVs on mitochondrial functions and apoptotic pathways. OMVs induced mitochondrial dysfunction through an increased level of intracellular ROS, collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), and modulation of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, and cytochrome c expression. In addition, P.M OMVs strongly inhibited miR-96-5p expression, which caused an upregulation of ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 1 (Abca1) in osteoclasts leading to an increased level of mitochondria-dependent apoptosis. Moreover, treatment with P.M but not Escherichia coli OMVs attenuated bone loss in experimental osteoporosis and collagen-induced arthritis. Collectively, we demonstrated osteoprotective functions of OMVs from Proteus mirabilis, which downregulated miR-96-5p causing an increased Abca1 expression and mitochondria-dependent apoptosis.

Abstract
Background More than one-third of the total world population is infected by Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii). T. gondii has been linked to various diseases, such as cancer, mental disorders, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), etc. However, the effects of T. gondii infection on the risk of osteoporosis are unclear. Our study aimed to uncover evidence to determine whether patients exposed to T. gondii have an increased or decreased risk of osteoporosis in people with abnormal bone mineral density (BMD) by using case–control study. Methods A total of 729 patients, including 316 osteopenia and 413 osteoporosis patients of Han Chinese ancestry were selected in the study. Their blood samples were collected and the levels of specific IgG antibodies against T. gondii were measured using ELISA assay. We obtained some information about the patients from the medical record that included demographic indexes and clinical data. A logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the effects of T. gondii infection on femur osteoporosis, lumbar osteoporosis and compound osteoporosis. Potential interaction was analyzed using multifactor dimensionality reduction software 1.0.0 (MDR 1.0.0). Results 113 positive patients with T. gondii infections have been detected, including 80 cases of osteoporosis and 33 cases of osteopenia, the infection rates of T. gondii were 19.37% (80/413) and 10.44% (33/316), respectively. The patients with T.gondii infections were at a 2.60 times higher risk of suffering from compound osteoporosis than those without T. gondii infections (OR = 2.60, 95% CI 1.54–4.39, P < 0.001), but not associated with femur osteoporosis (OR = 1.01, 95% CI 0.43–2.34, P = 0.989) and lumbar osteoporosis (OR = 0.84, 95% CI 0.34–2.07, P = 0.705) after adjusting for the covariates. Moreover, a significantly higher risk of compound osteoporosis in the individuals with all two factors (T. gondii infection, Female) was observed compared with reference group (without T. gondii infection, male) under the interaction model (OR = 11.44, 95%CI = 5.44–24.05, P < 0.001). And the individuals with all two factors (T. gondii infection, over 70 years) exhibited a 8.14-fold higher possibility of developing compound osteoporosis compared with reference group (without T. gondii infection, under 70 years) (OR = 8.14, 95% CI 3.91–16.93, P < 0.001). We further stratified by age and sex, and found that women with T. gondii infection was more likely to develop compound osteoporosis than those without infection(OR = 3.12, 95% CI 1.67–5.81, P < 0.001), but we not found the association between T. gondii infection and compound osteoporosis in males (OR = 1.36, 95% CI 0.37–4.94, P = 0.645). Conclusions T. gondii infection is a risk factor for osteoporosis, especially compound osteoporosis. Meanwhile, it is very necessary for patients with osteoporosis to further diagnose and treat T. gondii infection, especially women. Graphical Abstract ![]()

Abstract
Simple Summary Multiple myeloma (MM) is an aggressive hematological neoplasia caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of aberrant plasmacells. Neoplastic transformation and progression are driven by a number of biological processes, called ‘hallmarks of cancer’, which are regulated by different molecules, including long non-coding RNAs. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms that regulate MM development and progression will help to improve patients stratification and management, and promote the identification of new therapeutic targets. Abstract Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that are not translated into proteins. Nowadays, lncRNAs are gaining importance as key regulators of gene expression and, consequently, of several biological functions in physiological and pathological conditions, including cancer. Here, we point out the role of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM). We focus on their ability to regulate the biological processes identified as “hallmarks of cancer” that enable malignant cell transformation, early tumor onset and progression. The aberrant expression of lncRNAs in MM suggests their potential use as clinical biomarkers for diagnosis, patient stratification, and clinical management. Moreover, they represent ideal candidates for therapeutic targeting.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells that exclusively resorb bone matrix proteins and minerals on the bone surface. They differentiate from monocyte/macrophage lineage cells in the presence of osteoclastogenic cytokines such as the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and are stained positive for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). In vitro osteoclast formation assays are commonly used to assess the capacity of osteoclast precursor cells for differentiating into osteoclasts wherein the number of TRAP-positive multinucleated cells is counted as osteoclasts. Osteoclasts are manually identified on cell culture dishes by human eyes, which is a labor-intensive process. Moreover, the manual procedure is not objective and results in lack of reproducibility. To accelerate the process and reduce the workload for counting the number of osteoclasts, we developed OC_Finder, a fully automated system for identifying osteoclasts in microscopic images. OC_Finder consists of cell image segmentation with a watershed algorithm and cell classification using deep learning. OC_Finder detected osteoclasts differentiated from wild-type and Sh3bp2KI/+ precursor cells at a 99.4% accuracy for segmentation and at a 98.1% accuracy for classification. The number of osteoclasts classified by OC_Finder was at the same accuracy level with manual counting by a human expert. OC_Finder also showed consistent performance on additional datasets collected with different microscopes with different settings by different operators. Together, successful development of OC_Finder suggests that deep learning is a useful tool to perform prompt and accurate unbiased classification and detection of specific cell types in microscopic images.

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) signaling is critical to cell differentiation and activation. However, the function of GPCRs in osteoclast differentiation and activation remains unclear. We found that the G-protein coupled receptor 125 (GPCR 125) gene (Gpr125) gene was highly expressed in osteoclasts through RNA-sequencing technology, qRT-PCR, and Western blot analysis. We characterized the role of GPCR125 in osteoclast differentiation and activation by loss-of-function and gain-of-function methods in osteoclasts. Osteoclasts with lentivirus-mediated GPR125 silencing demonstrated a dramatic reduction in differentiation and impaired bone resorption function. In contrast, overexpression of Gpr125 in osteoclasts increased NFATC1 expression and enhanced osteoclast differentiation and enhanced osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. These results indicated that GPCR125 positively regulates osteoclast formation and function. Following receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) stimulation, the expression levels of MAPK signaling pathway proteins phosphorylated-ERK (p-ERK) and phosphorylated-p38 (p-p38) were significantly decreased in the Gpr125 knockdown (sh-GPR125) group compared to its control group. We also found that phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT) expression was downregulated, as well as nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway protein phosphorylated-IKB alpha (p-IKBα). Our results demonstrated that GPCR125 positively regulates osteoclasts via RANKL-stimulated MAPK and AKT-NF-κB signaling pathways, and GPCR125 could potentially be utilized as a novel therapeutic target in bone related diseases including osteoporosis.

Abstract
Indonesian marine natural products have been one of the most promising sources in the race to obtain potential drugs for cancer treatment. One of the primary producers of cytotoxic compounds is sponges. However, there are still limited sources of comprehensive reviews related to the relationship between the structure of isolated compounds and their cytotoxic activity. This review remarks the attempt to provide a preliminary guidance from the perspective of structure–activity relationship and its participation on marine natural products research. This guidance is segregated by the compound’s classes and their cytotoxic targets to obtain and organized a reliable summary of inter-study of the isolated compounds and their cytotoxicity. Structure–activity relationship is well-known for its ability to tune the bioactivity of a specific compound, especially on synthetic organic chemistry and in silico study but rarely used on natural product chemistry. The present review is intended to narrow down the endless possibilities of cytotoxicity by giving a predictable structure–activity relationship for active compounds. In addition, bioactive framework leads were selected by uncovering a noticeable structure–activity relationship with the intervention of cytotoxic agents from natural sources, especially Indonesian marine sponge.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a chronical, systemic skeletal disorder characterized by an increase in bone resorption, which leads to reduced bone density. The reduction in bone mineral density and therefore low bone mass results in an increased risk of fractures. Osteoporosis is caused by an imbalance in the normally strictly regulated bone homeostasis. This imbalance is caused by overactive bone-resorbing osteoclasts, while bone-synthesizing osteoblasts do not compensate for this. In this review, the mechanism is presented, underlined by in vitro and animal models to investigate this imbalance as well as the current status of clinical trials. Furthermore, new therapeutic strategies for osteoporosis are presented, such as anabolic treatments and catabolic treatments and treatments using biomaterials and biomolecules. Another focus is on new combination therapies with multiple drugs which are currently considered more beneficial for the treatment of osteoporosis than monotherapies. Taken together, this review starts with an overview and ends with the newest approaches for osteoporosis therapies and a future perspective not presented so far.

Abstract
Bone metabolism is essential for maintaining bone mineral density and bone strength through a balance between bone formation and bone resorption. Bone formation is associated with osteoblast activity whereas bone resorption is linked to osteoclast differentiation. Osteoblast progenitors give rise to the formation of mature osteoblasts whereas monocytes are the precursors for multi-nucleated osteoclasts. Chronic inflammation, auto-inflammation, hormonal changes or adiposity have the potential to disturb the balance between bone formation and bone loss. Several plant-derived components are described to modulate bone metabolism and alleviate osteoporosis by enhancing bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption. The plant-derived naphthoquinone plumbagin is a bioactive compound that can be isolated from the roots of the Plumbago genus. It has been used as traditional medicine for treating infectious diseases, rheumatoid arthritis and dermatological diseases. Reportedly, plumbagin exerts its biological activities primarily through induction of reactive oxygen species and triggers osteoblast-mediated bone formation. It is plausible that plumbagin's reciprocal actions - inhibiting or inducing death in osteoclasts but promoting survival or growth of osteoblasts - are a function of the synergy with bone-metabolizing hormones calcitonin, Parathormone and vitamin D. Herein, we develop a framework for plausible molecular modus operandi of plumbagin in bone metabolism.

Abstract
Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterias are predominate in periapical infections. The bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) initiates the process of inflammation and periapical bone resorption. Usage of various medicaments retards or inactivates the bacterial endotoxin (LPS). However, the results are not highly effective. In recent years, owing to antimicrobial resistance, the shift from conventional agents to herbal agents has been increased tremendously in research. Keeping this in mind, the present study was formulated to evaluate the efficacy of oregano essential oil in inhibiting bacterial LPS- induced osteoclastogenesis. Four different concentrations (0 ng/mL, 25 ng/mL, 50 ng/mL, and 100 ng/mL) of oregano essential oil extract were added into 96-well culture plate. Under light microscope, quantification of osteoclast cells was performed. One-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey test was carried out on SPSS v21. A significant reduction (p < 0.001) in the osteoclast was observed in the experimental groups compared to no oregano essential oil extract (control). A dose-dependent significant reduction (p < 0.001) in osteoclast formation was observed among the experimental groups, with lesser osteoclast seen in group IV with 100 ng/mL of oregano essential oil extract. Thus, it can be concluded that oregano essential oil extract can be utilized as a therapeutic agent that can target bacterial LPS-induced osteoclastogenesis. However, randomized controlled studies should be conducted to assess the potential use of this extract in the periapical bone resorption of endodontic origin.

Abstract
Phlomis umbrosa has been traditionally used for bone diseases in traditional Korean Medicine. Sweroside (SOS), marker compounds of P. umbrosa, has been known to promote osteoblast differentiation. In this study, ameliorative effects of SOS on osteoporosis and potential target pathway were investigated. Ovariectomized mice were administered three doses of SOS three times a week for 4 weeks after inducing osteoporosis. Bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) were analyzed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. A human osteosarcoma cell line (SaOS-2) was differentiated to clarify the promoting effects of SOS on osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. Osteoblastic bone-forming markers were evaluated in lumbar vertebrae (LV) and mineralized SaOS-2 cells. SOS markedly elevated BMC and BMD levels and attenuated the bone marrow adipocytes in the femoral shaft. SOS increased the formation of bone matrix in SaOS-2 cells. Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) and runt-related transcription factor 2 (CBFA1) in LV and SaOS-2 cells were up-regulated by SOS. SOS increased alkaline phosphatase (ALPL), osteopontin (SPP1), and bone sialoprotein-1 (BSPH1). In conclusion, SOS induced the formation of mineralized bone matrix by regulating BMP2/CBFA1-mediated molecules. Therefore, SOS could be a therapeutic compound of treatment for osteoporosis by producing the new bone matrix.

Andrographolide prevents bone loss via targeting estrogen-related receptor-α-regulated metabolic adaption of osteoclastogenesis. Br J Pharmacol 2021; 178:4352-4367. [PMID: 34233019 DOI: 10.1111/bph.15614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2020] [Revised: 05/27/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Metabolic adaptation driven by oestrogen-related receptor-α (ERRα/NR3B1) is required to meet the increased energy demand during osteoclast differentiation. Here, we hypothesize that natural product, andrographolide, acts as an ERRα inverse agonist to inhibit osteoclastogenesis. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Virtual docking and site-directed mutagenesis analysis were employed to study the binding mode of andrographolide to ERRα. Co-immunoprecipitation, luciferase reporter assay, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunoblot analyses were performed to identify andrographolide as an ERRα inverse agonist. The pharmacological effects of andrographolide in vivo were assessed in mice models of osteopenia induced by either a high-fat diet in male or ovariectomy in female mice. KEY RESULTS ERRα-dependent expression of glutaminase, a rate-limiting enzyme of mitochondrial glutamine anaplerosis, is required for ex vivo bone marrow osteoclast differentiation. Andrographolide inhibited glutaminase expression induced by ERRα and co-activator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ co-activator-1β (PGC-1β), leading to reduction in osteoclastogenesis. Andrographolide acted as an inverse agonist of ERRα by disrupting its interaction with co-activator PGC-1β. Phenylalanine 232, valine 395 and phenylalanine 399 of ERRα ligand-binding domain were confirmed to be essential for this effect. In contrast, glutaminase overexpression restored the impairment triggered by andrographolide. Accordingly, andrographolide suppressed osteoclastic bone resorption and attenuated bone loss in vivo. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These findings demonstrate that andrographolide acts as an ERRα inverse agonist for perturbation of ERRα/PGC-1β/glutaminase axis-driven metabolic adaption during osteoclast differentiation, implying that andrographolide may be a promising natural compound for preventing physiological and pathological bone loss.
