CpG oligodeoxynucleotides inhibit the proliferation and osteoclastic differentiation of RAW264.7 cells.

ABSTRACT: Clinical prevention and treatment of periodontitis-induced bone absorption remains a challenge. The anti-infection role of CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODNs) is well known; however, their effect on osteoclasts is still unclear. Here, we show that some CpG ODNs can regulate osteoclastogenesis of RAW264.7 cells. The phosphorothioate CpG ODN was efficiently taken up by the cells within 1 h and distributed in the cytoplasm. BW006, YW001, YW002, and FC004 CpG ODNs significantly repressed cell proliferation by targeting several cyclin proteins to arrest the cells in the G2 phase and to further initiate cell apoptosis. Regarding differentiation, we selected six CpG ODNs (FC002, BW006, YW002, YW001, FC004, and MT01) that markedly inhibited the gene expression levels of Nfatc, c-fos
