Pentosan polysulfate regulates hepcidin 1-facilitated formation and function of osteoclast derived from canine bone marrow.

ABSTRACT: Hepcidin which is the crucial regulator of iron homeostasis, produced in the liver in response to anemia, hypoxia, or inflammation. Recent studies have suggested that hepcidin and iron metabolism are involved in osteoporosis by inhibiting osteoblast function and promoting osteoclastogenesis. Pentosan polysulfate (PPS) is a heparin analogue and promising novel therapeutic for osteoarthritis (OA). This study was undertaken to determine whether PPS inhibits hepcidin-facilitated osteoclast (OC) differentiation and iron overload. Canine (n = 3) bone marrow mononuclear cells were differentiated to OC by macrophage colony-stimulating factor and receptor-activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand with the treatment of hepcidin1 (200, 400, 800, 1200 nmol/L) and PPS (1, 5, 10, 20, 40 μg/mL).
