Aminothiazoles inhibit RANKL- and LPS-mediated osteoclastogenesis and PGE2 production in RAW 264.7 cells.

ABSTRACT: Periodontitis is characterized by chronic inflammation and osteoclast-mediated bone loss regulated by the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANK), RANK ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aminothiazoles targeting prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) on RANKL- and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated osteoclastogenesis and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ) production in vitro using the osteoclast precursor RAW 264.7 cells. RAW 264.7 cells were treated with RANKL or LPS alone or in combination with the aminothiazoles 4-([4-(2-naphthyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]amino)phenol (TH-848) or 4-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-N-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-amine (TH-644). Aminothiazoles significantly decreased the number of multinucleated tartrate-resist
