This study was carried out to investigate the effect of Spatholobus suberectus Dunn (SS) on the protection of chondral defect and inhibition of osteoclastogenesis. To examine these effects, we measured the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) levels in SW1353 chondrosarcoma cells and performed tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining in bone marrow macrophage (BMM)-derived osteoclasts. To investigate the anti-osteoarthritis (OA) effects, we assessed TNF-α-induced MMP-1, -3, -9 and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP) expression levels in SW1353 cells. We observed that SS extract significantly inhibited MMP and TIMP expression in SW1353 cells. Also, SS extract inhibited the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation. These results suggest that SS extract may have a potential in the treatment of bone loss and chondral defect by suppressing osteoclast differentiation and decreasing the expression of OA factors. Therefore, clarification of the mechanism of the action of SS extract and its active components is needed.

Background: Multiple members of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily have well-established roles in bone homeostasis. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a member of TGF-β superfamily of glycoproteins that is responsible for the regression of fetal Müllerian ducts and the transcription inhibition of gonadal steroidogenic enzymes. However, the involvement of AMH in bone remodeling is unknown. Therefore, we investigated whether AMH has an effect on bone cells as other TGF-β superfamily members do.Methods: To identify the roles of AMH in bone cells, we administered AMH during osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation, cultured the cells, and then stained the cultured cells with Alizarin red and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, respectively. We analyzed the expression of osteoblast- or osteoclast-related genes using real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot.Results: AMH does not affect bone morphogenetic protein 2-mediated osteoblast differentiation but inhibits receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) ligand-induced osteoclast differentiation. The inhibitory effect of AMH on osteoclast differentiation is mediated by IκB-NF-κB signaling.Conclusions: AMH negatively regulates osteoclast differentiation without affecting osteoblast differentiation.

Necrosis Factor

Osteoclasts are derived from myeloid lineage cells, and their differentiation is supported by various osteotropic factors, including the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family member TNF-related activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE). Genetic deletion of TRANCE or its receptor, receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK), results in severely osteopetrotic mice with no osteoclasts in their bones. TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF) 6 is a key signaling adaptor for RANK, and its deficiency leads to similar osteopetrosis. Hence, the current paradigm holds that TRANCE–RANK interaction and subsequent signaling via TRAF6 are essential for the generation of functional osteoclasts. Surprisingly, we show that hematopoietic precursors from TRANCE-, RANK-, or TRAF6-null mice can become osteoclasts in vitro when they are stimulated with TNF-α in the presence of cofactors such as TGF-β. We provide direct evidence against the current paradigm that the TRANCE–RANK–TRAF6 pathway is essential for osteoclast differentiation and suggest the potential existence of alternative routes for osteoclast differentiation.

Abstract Spi-C is an SPI-group erythroblast transformation-specific domain transcription factor expressed during B-cell development. Here, we report that Spi-C is a novel receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-inducible protein that positively regulates RANKL-mediated osteoclast differentiation and function. Knockdown of Spi-C decreased the expression of RANKL-induced nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1, receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANK), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), resulting in a marked decrease in the number of TRAP-positive multinucleated cells. Spi-C-transduced bone marrow-derived monocytes/macrophages (BMMs) displayed a significant increase in osteoclast formation in the presence of RANKL. In addition, Spi-C-depleted cells failed to show actin ring formation or bone resorption owing to a marked reduction in the expression of RANKL-mediated dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein and the d2 isoform of vacuolar (H+) ATPase V0 domain, which are known osteoclast fusion-related genes. Interestingly, RANKL stimulation induced the translocation of Spi-C from the cytoplasm into the nucleus during osteoclastogenesis, which was specifically blocked by inhibitors of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) or PI3 kinase. Moreover, Spi-C depletion prevented RANKL-induced MAPK activation and the degradation of inhibitor of κB-α (IκBα) in BMMs. Collectively, these results suggest that Spi-C is a novel positive regulator that promotes both osteoclast differentiation and function.

Abstract Identification of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANK) and RANK-ligand (RANKL) has provided new insights into the osteoclast differentiation pathway. Osteoclast precursor cells were isolated using monoclonal antibodies against c-Fms and RANK, and the effect of adherence on the in vitro differentiation and proliferation of these cells was examined in 2 different types of stromal-cell–free culture systems: a semisolid culture medium (a nonadherent system) and a liquid culture medium (an adherent system). Osteoclast precursor cells were not able to differentiate into mature osteoclasts efficiently in the semisolid culture system. Trimerized RANKL enhanced osteoclast differentiation in semisolid cultures, but not to the extent seen when cells were allowed to adhere to plastic. Initial precursor cells were capable of differentiating into macrophages or osteoclasts. Once these cells were transferred to adherent conditions, striking differentiation was induced. Multinuclear cells were observed even after they had displayed phagocytic activity, which suggests that cell adhesion plays an important role in the differentiation of osteoclast precursor cells. Integrins, especially the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD)–recognizing integrins αv and β3, were needed for osteoclast-committed precursor cells to proliferate in order to form multinuclear osteoclasts, and the increase in cell density affected the formation of multinuclear cells. A model of osteoclast differentiation with 2 stages of precursor development is proposed: (1) a first stage, in which precursor cells are bipotential and capable of anchorage-independent growth, and (2) a second stage, in which the further proliferation and differentiation of osteoclast-committed precursor cells is anchorage-dependent.

The Impact

MiR-21 is being gradually more and more recognized as a molecule regulating bone tissue homeostasis. However, its function is not fully understood due to the dual role of miR-21 on bone-forming and bone-resorbing cells. In this study, we investigated the impact of miR-21 inhibition on pre-osteoblastic cells differentiation and paracrine signaling towards pre-osteoclasts using indirect co-culture model of mouse pre-osteoblast (MC3T3) and pre-osteoclast (4B12) cell lines. The inhibition of miR-21 in MC3T3 cells (MC3T3inh21) modulated expression of genes encoding osteogenic markers including collagen type I (Coll-1), osteocalcin (Ocl), osteopontin (Opn), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx-2). Inhibition of miR-21 in osteogenic cultures of MC3T3 also inflected the synthesis of OPN protein which is essential for proper mineralization of extracellular matrix (ECM) and anchoring osteoclasts to the bones. Furthermore, it was shown that in osteoblasts miR-21 regulates expression of factors that are vital for survival of pre-osteoclast, such as receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL). The pre-osteoclast cultured with MC3T3inh21 cells was characterized by lowered expression of several markers associated with osteoclasts’ differentiation, foremost tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (Trap) but also receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (Rank), cathepsin K (Ctsk), carbonic anhydrase II (CaII), and matrix metalloproteinase (Mmp-9). Collectively, our data indicate that the inhibition of miR-21 in MC3T3 cells impairs the differentiation and ECM mineralization as well as influences paracrine signaling leading to decreased viability of pre-osteoclasts.

Osteoclasts are bone-resorptive cells that differentiate from hematopoietic precursors upon receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) activation. Previous studies demonstrated that IL-6 indirectly stimulates osteoclastogenesis through the production of RANKL by osteoblasts. However, few data described the direct effect of IL-6 on osteoclasts. To investigate this effect, we used several models: murine RAW264.7 cells, mouse bone marrow, and human blood monocytes. In the three models used, the addition of IL-6 inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. Furthermore, IL-6 decreased the expression of osteoclast markers and up-modulated macrophage markers. To elucidate this inhibition, signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 3, the main signaling molecule activated by IL-6, was analyzed. Addition of two STAT3 inhibitors completely abolished RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis, revealing a key role of STAT3. We demonstrated that a basal level of phosphorylated-STAT3 on Serine727 associated with an absence of phosphorylation on Tyrosine705 is essential for osteoclastogenesis. Furthermore, a decrease of Serine727 phosphorylation led to an inhibition of osteoclast differentiation, whereas an increase of Tyrosine705 phosphorylation upon IL-6 stimulation led to the formation of macrophages instead of osteoclasts. In conclusion, we showed for the first time that IL-6 inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis by diverting cells into the macrophage lineage, and demonstrated the functional role of activated-STAT3 and its form of phosphorylation in the control of osteoclastogenesis.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To investigate whether Forkhead family transcription factors are responsive to mechanical force and the resulting influence on the osteoclast differentiation mediated by human periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs). Materials and Methods: A high-throughput RNA sequencing assay was performed in compressive force–stimulated and control human PDLCs. Alteration of FOXM1, a member of the Forkhead family transcription factors, was further confirmed by Western blotting and quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Expression of FOXM1 was inhibited by either small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfection or addition of its specific inhibitor Siomycin A. Then, cells were exposed to compressive force and co-cultured with the murine macrophage cell line Raw264.7, followed by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining assay. Expression changes of receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegetin (OPG) caused by FOXM1 suppression were measured. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, ALP activity assay, and crystal violet staining assay were performed after FOXM1 inhibition. Results: FOXM1 transcription decreased after mechanical stimulation in PDLCs. Inhibition of FOXM1 promoted force-induced osteoclast differentiation of RAW264.7 and upregulated the RANKL/OPG ratio in PDLCs. Interference of FOXM1 led to promoted osteogenic differentiation but decreased proliferation of PDLCs. Conclusions: FOXM1 is a novel mechano-responsive gene in human PDLCs. Suppressing FOXM1 expression could promote osteoclast differentiation as well as RANKL/OPG in human PDLCs. FOXM1 also plays a role in controlling PDLC differentiation and proliferation capacity.
