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:Bone remodeling is a tightly regulated process that engages degradation and biogenesis of the bone matrix. The process is controlled by two major cell types, bone forming cells-osteoblasts and bone-degrading cells-osteoclasts. We are interested in the bone-resorption mechanism mediated by osteoclasts and wish to identify glycosylation genes that are regulated during the formation of osteoclast cells and determine the function of glycosylation and glycan-binding proteins in the osteoclastogenesis. We propose to examine the gene expression patterns that are altered during the osteoclastogenesis using mouse glyco-chips and RNA samples isolated from osteoclast precursors and mature osteoclasts prepared from mouse bone marrows. 6 chips are requested for the analysis. RNA preparations from mouse bone marrow MG2, MG4, MG6 (mature osteoclasts) and MG1, MG3, MG5 osteoclasts precursors (control) were sent to the Microarray Core (E). The RNA was amplified, labeled, and hybridized to the GLYCOv3 microarrays.

Project description:Osteoclastogenesis is induced by the stimulation of RANKL. In the early stage of osteoclast differentiation, the osteoclast progenitor cells are primed by M-CSF, following a tightly controlled genetic program where specific sets of genes are up-regulated by RANKL. Some of them, for instance, control differentiation, cell-cell fusion and bone resorption. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying osteoclastogenesis and identified various up-regulated genes during this process. Macrophages and osteoclasts were cultured for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain homogeneous populations of macrophages and osteoclasts in order to increase the temporal resolution of expression profiles. To that end, mouse bone marrow cells were cultured in the presence of M-CSF for three days and harvested as macrophage and oseteoclast common progenitor cells. Then common progenitor cells were further cultured in the presence of M-CSF alone for macrophages and M-CSF plus RANKL for osteoclasts, respectively.

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:Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells specialized in degrading the mineralized bone matrix. Osteoclast differentiation and function are tightly regulated, to prevent excessive or insufficient bone resorption. Several control mechanisms participate in modulating osteoclastogenesis, and an increasing number of reports describe the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in this process. Disrupting the expression of specific miRNAs can result in alterations of osteoclast formation and bone homeostasis. We and others have previously characterized 9 miRNAs whose levels change during osteoclast differentiation, and identified some of the target genes that mediate their function. However, little is known about changes in the miRNA expression profile during osteoclastogenesis. In this study, we isolated a murine primary bone marrow population enriched for osteoclast precursors, and used the Agilent microarray platform to analyze the expression of mature miRNAs after 1, 3, and 5 days of RANKL-driven differentiation. 93 miRNAs showed greater than 2 fold-change during these early, middle, and late stages of osteoclastogenesis. Many of these miRNAs were detected for the first time in osteoclasts, and we validated the expression of selected miRNAs by quantitative RT-PCR. We identified clusters of differentially expressed miRNAs, and performed computational analyses to predict functional pathways that may be regulated by these miRNAs. Several miRNAs were predicted to regulate genes involved in cytoskeletal remodeling, a crucial mechanism for the migration of osteoclast precursors, their maturation, and bone resorbing activity. Our results suggest that clusters of miRNAs differentially expressed during the course of osteoclastogenesis converge on the regulation of several key functional pathways. Overall, this study identified miRNAs expressed during early, middle and late osteoclastogenesis, contributing to understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating this complex differentiation process. Mouse primary bone marrow cultures were enriched for osteoclast precursors by depletion of B220/CD45R+ and CD3+ cells (B and T lymphocytes, respectively). Cells were differentiated with M-CSF and RANKL, and miRNA expression was analyzed at days 1, 3, and 5. Four biological replicates for each time point were used.

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:Osteoclast over-activation leads to bone loss and chloride homeostasis is fundamental for osteoclast function. The calcium-activated chloride channel Anoctamin 1 (also known as TMEM16A) is an important chloride channel involved in many physiological processes. However, its role in osteoclasts remains unresolved. Here, we identify the existence of Anoctamin 1 in osteoclasts and show that its expression positively correlates with osteoclast activity. Osteoclast-specific Anoctamin 1 knockout mice exhibit increased bone mass and decreased bone resorption. Mechanistically, Anoctamin 1 deletion increases intracellular Cl- concentration, decreases H+ secretion and reduces bone resorption. Notably, Anoctamin 1 physically interacts with RANK and this interaction is dependent upon Anoctamin 1 channel activity, jointly promoting RANKL-induced downstream signaling pathways. Anoctamin 1 protein levels are substantially increased in osteoporosis patients and this closely correlates with osteoclast activity. Finally, Anoctamin 1 deletion significantly alleviates ovariectomy induced osteoporosis. These results collectively establish Anoctamin 1 as an essential regulator in osteoclast function and suggest a potential therapeutic target for osteoporosis.

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.
