Normal dynamic loading prevents bone resorption; however, the means whereby biophysical factors reduce osteoclast activity are not understood. We show here that mechanical strain (2% at 10 cycles per minute) applied to murine marrow cultures reduced 1,25(OH)2D3-stimulated osteoclast formation by 50%. This was preceded by decreased expression of osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF/TRANCE). RT-PCR for ODF/TRANCE revealed that ODF/TRANCE mRNA in strained cultures was 59 ± 3% of that seen in control cultures. No significant effects on total cell count, thymidine uptake, or alkaline phosphatase activity were induced by strain. To isolate the cell targeted by strain, primary stromal cells were cultured from marrow. Mechanical strain also reduced mRNA for ODF/TRANCE to 60% that of control in these cells. In contrast, mRNA for membrane-bound macrophage colony-stimulating factor was not significantly affected. Soluble ODF (∼2 ng/ml) was able to reverse the effect of strain, returning osteoclast numbers to control. Because osteoclast formation is dependent upon ODF/TRANCE expression, strain-induced reductions in this factor may contribute to the accompanying reduction in osteoclastogenesis.

AbstractIncreases of neutrophils and osteoclasts are pathological changes of periodontitis. RANKL is an osteoclast differentiation factor. The effect of periodontopathogen LPS on RANKL-expressing neutrophils has not been clarified yet. We evaluated numerical changes of RANKL-expressing neutrophils in air pouches of mice injected with LPSs of Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis. Mice with air pouches were assigned into saline (C)-, E. coli LPS- (Ec LPS)-, F. nucleatum LPS (Fn LPS)-, P. gingivalis LPS (Pg LPS)-, and Fn LPS and Pg LPS (Fn + Pg LPS)-injected groups. CD11b+Ly6G+ neutrophils and CD11b+Ly6G+RANKL+ neutrophils in blood and air pouch exudates were determined by flow cytometry. In blood, compared to the C group, the Fn LPS group showed increases of CD11b+Ly6G+ neutrophils and CD11b+Ly6G+RANKL+ neutrophils whereas the Pg LPS group showed no significant differences. These increases in the Fn LPS group were not different to those in the Ec LPS group. In exudates, Fn LPS and Pg LPS groups showed increases of CD11b+Ly6G+ neutrophils and CD11b+Ly6G+RANKL+ neutrophils compared to the C group. Increased levels in the Fn LPS group were not different to those in the Ec LPS group, but Pg LPS group was lower than those in the Ec LPS group. In blood and exudates, the Fn + Pg LPS group showed no difference in levels of these neutrophils compared to the Ec LPS group. LPSs of F. nucleatum and P. gingivalis increased RANKL-expressing neutrophils although the degrees of increases were different. These suggest that periodontopathogen LPS can act as a stimulant to increase RANKL-expressing neutrophils.
