Project description:Osteoclasts are absorptive cells and play a critical role in homeostatic bone remodeling and pathological bone resorption. Emerging evidence suggests an important role for epigenetic regulation of osteoclastogenesis. In this study, we investigated the role of DOT1L, which regulates gene expression epigenetically by histone H3K79 methylation during osteoclast formation. DOT1L and H3K79me2 levels were upregulated during osteoclast differentiation. Small molecule inhibitor- (EPZ5676 or EPZ004777) or short hairpin RNA-mediated reduction in DOT1L expression promoted osteoclast differentiation and resorption. DOT1L inhibition also increased osteoclast area and accelerated bone mass reduction in a mouse ovariectomy (OVX) model of osteoporosis. DOT1L inhibitors did not alter osteoblast differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Proteomics data, together with bioinformatics analysis, revealed that DOT1L inhibition altered reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, autophagy activation, and cell fusion-related protein expression. ROS generation increased, and autophagy activation and cell migration ability enhancement were verified subsequently by flow cytometry and transwell migration assays. DOT1L inhibition increased NFATc1 nuclear translocation and NF-κB activation and strengthend osteoclast fusion and expression of resorption-related protein CD9, and MMP9 in osteoclasts derived from RAW264.7. Our findings support a new mechanism of DOT1L-mediated H3K79me2 epigenetic regulation of osteoclast differentiation, implicating DOT1L as a new therapeutic target for osteoclast dysregulation-induced disease.

Project description:Osteoporosis and bone fractures affect millions of men and women worldwide and are often due to increased bone resorption (bone loss) mediated by osteoclasts. Here, we identify a novel role for the cytoplasmic protein ELMO1 as an important ‘signaling node’ controlling the bone resorption function of osteoclasts. Initially, we noted association of ELMO1 SNPs with bone abnormalities and altered bone density in humans. Experimentally, ELMO1 emerged as a promoter of bone loss wherein deletion of ELMO1 reversed osteoporosis / bone erosions in four in vivo mouse models: osteoprotegerin deficiency, ovariectomy, and two types of inflammatory arthritis. However, ELMO1 did not promote bone loss under homeostatic conditions. Mechanistic studies pointed to a larger ELMO1 signaling network that regulates osteoclast activity at several levels. First, transcriptomics coupled with CRISPR/Cas9 genetic deletion approaches identified new regulators of osteoclast function associated with Elmo1. Second, defining the ‘ELMO1 interactome’ in osteoclasts via proteomics revealed proteins linked to bone degradation. Third, ELMO1 affects the formation of the actin ring /sealing zone on bone-like surfaces and the distribution of osteoclast-specific proteases. Finally, a 3D structure-based inhibitory peptide targeting a highly conserved region of ELMO1 reduced bone resorption in wild type osteoclasts. Collectively, these data identify ELMO1 as a signaling hub that regulates osteoclast function and bone loss, with relevance to diseases such as osteoporosis and arthritis.

Project description:Clinical investigations show that short-term treatment with gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) acutely decreases serum markers of bone resorption and may increase bone formation. We report that the GIP receptor (GIPR) is expressed in human osteoclasts. Furthermore, GIP inhibits osteoclastogenesis, delays and inhibits bone resorption, and increases osteoclast apoptosis by acting upon multiple signaling pathways to impair nuclear translocation of nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1) and nuclear factor-κB (NFκB). Human osteoblasts also express GIPR. Although GIP improves osteoblast survival via cAMP and Akt-mediated pathways, expression of osteoblast-specific genes including RUNX2 and BGLAP and bone formation is not changed by GIP. Treatment of co-cultures of osteoclasts and osteoblasts with GIP decreased bone resorption but did not change formation. Antagonizing the GIPR with GIP(3-30)NH2 abolished the effects of GIP on osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Clinical studies are needed to determine if longer-term GIPR activation uncouples bone resorption and formation and improves bone mass

Project description:Bone remodeling is characterized by the sequential, local tethering of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, and is key to the maintenance of bone integrity. While bone matrix-mobilized growth factors, such as TGF-β, are proposed to regulate remodeling, no in vivo evidence exists that an osteoclast-produced molecule is the enigmatic coupling factor. We have identified Cthrc1, a protein secreted by mature bone-resorbing osteoclasts, that targets stromal cells so as to stimulate osteogenesis. The expression of Cthrc1 is robustly induced when mature osteoclasts are placed on dentin or hydroxyapatite, and also by increasing extracellular calcium. Cthrc1 expression in bone increases in a high turnover state, such as that which is induced by RANKL injections in vivo, whereas it decreases with aging or following alendronate treatment, conditions associated with suppressed bone turnover. The targeted deletion of the Cthrc1 gene eliminates Cthrc1 expression in bone, whereas its deficiency in osteoblasts does not exert any significant effect. Osteoclast-specific deletion of the Cthrc1 gene results in osteopenia due to reduced bone formation: it also impairs the coupling process following resorption induced by RANKL injections, with a resultant impairment of bone mass recovery. Thus, Cthrc1 is an osteoclast-secreted “coupling factor” that regulates bone remodeling and hence, skeletal integrity. Total bone marrow cells were prepared from the femurs and tibias of 8-10-week-old C57BL/6 mice and cultured in the presence of M-CSF (100ng/ml) for 3 days as described previously (Takeshita et al., 2000 JBMR 15:1477-1488). Cells were harvested with 0.02% EDTA/PBS and used as bone marrow macrophages (BMMs). These BMMs were cultured in the presence of M-CSF (100 ng/ml) and RANKL (100ng/ml) for 2 days. TRAP positive mononuclear cells were harvested and used as pre-osteoclasts (pOC). These pOC cells were further cultured in the presence of M-CSF and RANKL for 2 days in normal plastic plate or on dentin slices. After 2 days, multinucleated TRAP positive mature osteoclasts were generated as mature osteoclasts on plate (mOCp) and mature resorbing osteoclasts on dentin (mOCd), respectively. RNAs were extracted from four different stages of osteoclast lineage cells; BMMs, pOC, mOCp and mOCd, and used for microarray analysis.

Project description:Enhanced osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast activity contribute to the development of osteoporosis, which is characterized by increased bone resorption and inadequate bone formation. As novel anti-osteoporotic therapeutics are needed, understanding the genetic regulation of human osteoclastogenesis could help identify potential treatment targets. This study aimed to provide an overview of the transcriptional reprogramming during human osteoclast differentiation. Osteoclasts were differentiated from CD14+-monocytes from eight female donors. RNA-sequencing during differentiation demonstrated 8980 differentially expressed genes grouped into eight temporal patterns conserved across donors. These patterns showed distinct molecular functions, associated with postmenopausal osteoporosis susceptibility genes based on RNA from iliac crest biopsies, and bone mineral density SNPs. Network analyses showed mutual dependencies between the temporal expression patterns and provides insight into subtype-specific transcriptional networks. Donor specific expression patterns identified genes at monocyte stage, such as filamin B (FLNB) and oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 (OLR1, encoding LOX-1), that are predictive for the resorptive activity of mature osteoclasts. Differentially expressed G-protein coupled receptors showed strong expression during osteoclast differentiation and associated with bone mineral density SNPs, implying a pivotal role in osteoclast differentiation and activity. The regulatory effects of three differentially expressed G-protein coupled receptors were exemplified by in vitro pharmacological modulation of complement 5A receptor 1 (C5AR1), somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2), and free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFAR4/GPR120). Activating C5AR1 enhanced osteoclast formation, while activating SSTR2 decreased resorptive activity of mature osteoclasts, and activating FFAR4 decreased both number and resorptive activity of mature osteoclasts. In conclusion, we report the transcriptional reprogramming during human osteoclast differentiation and identified SSTR2 and FFAR4 as anti-resorptive G-protein coupled receptors as well as FLNB and LOX-1 as potential molecular markers of osteoclast activity. These data can help future investigations to identify molecular regulators of osteoclast differentiation and activity and provide the basis for novel anti-osteoporotic targets.

Project description:Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing cells that undergo extensive changes in morphology throughout their differentiation. Altered osteoclast differentiation and activity lead to changes in pathological bone resorption. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a kinase, and aberrant mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling is associated with altered bone homeostasis. The activation of mTORC1 is biphasically regulated during osteoclastogenesis; however, the mechanism behind mTORC1-mediated regulation of osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption is incompletely understood. Here, we found that MYC coordinates the dynamic regulation of mTORC1 activation during osteoclastogenesis. MYC-deficiency blocked the early activation of mTORC1 and also reversed the decreased activity of mTORC1 at the late stage of osteoclastogenesis. The suppression of mTORC1 activity by rapamycin in mature osteoclasts enhances bone resorption activity despite the indispensable role of high mTORC1 activation in osteoclast formation in both mouse and human cells. Mechanistically, MYC induces Growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible protein (GADD34) expression and suppresses mTORC1 activity at the late phase of osteoclastogenesis. Taken together, our findings identify a MYC-GADD34 axis as an upstream regulator of dynamic mTORC1 activation in osteoclastogenesis and highlight the interplay between MYC and mTORC1 pathways in determining osteoclast activity.

Project description:Bone is a dynamic organ in which bone formation mediated by osteoblasts balances against bone resorption mediated by osteoclasts to maintain bone homeostasis. With age, this balance gradually tilts toward bone resorption, leading to bone loss and osteoporosis. At the present study, the bone specimens from children (group A), middle-aged patients (group B), and older individuals (group C) were subjected to proteomics analysis by LC-MS/MS.

Project description:Osteoporosis is a common systemic skeletal disorder especially in postmenopausal women due to excessive production and activation of osteoclasts. However, current anti-osteoporotic drugs used in clinical practice may cause some side effects. Thus, it is necessary to further explore the potential mechanisms regulating the differentiation of osteoclast and develop novel targets for the treatment of osteoporosis. In our study, we found that VSIG4 exhibited the most significant decline among VSIG family members. Overexpression of VSIG4 significantly inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption function. Mechanismly, the western blot and immunofluorescence results also showed that overexpression of VSIG4 attenuated the expression of osteoclast marker genes and the activation of MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways. We found that overexpression of VSIG4 could suppress the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activate the expression of Nrf2 and its downstream antioxidant enzymes. ML385, a potent Nrf2 inhibitor, was found to reverse the inhibitory impact of VSIG4 on osteoclast differentiation. Consistently, overexpression of VSIG4 also rescued OVX-induced bone loss and attenuated the activation of osteoclasts in vivo. Taken together, our results indicated that VSIG4 could be an novel target to address postmenopausal osteoporosis by suppressing osteoclast formation via regulation of Nrf 2-mediated ROS generation.
