Dietary Salt Accelerates Orthodontic Tooth Movement by Increased Osteoclast Activity.

Dietary salt uptake and inflammation promote sodium accumulation in tissues, thereby modulating cells like macrophages and fibroblasts. Previous studies showed salt effects on periodontal ligament fibroblasts and on bone metabolism by expression of nuclear factor of activated T-cells-5 (NFAT-5). Here, we investigated the impact of salt and NFAT-5 on osteoclast activity and orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). After treatment of osteoclasts without (NS) or with additional salt (HS), we analyzed gene expression and the release of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and calcium phosphate resorption.…

DNA damage-inducible transcript 3 restrains osteoclast differentiation and function.

DNA damage-inducible transcript 3 (DDIT3), a member of the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) family, is involved in cellular apoptosis … pecific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP) and promoted the formation of TRAP-positive multinucleated osteoclasts. The actin ring number and resorption area of bone slices were also increased in DDIT3 KO BMMs. Lentivirus-mediated DDIT3 overexpression significantly inhibited the osteoclast differentiation of RAW264.7 cells. In the tumor necrosis factor-α-induced …

Cinchonine inhibits osteoclast differentiation by regulating TAK1 and AKT, and promotes osteogenesis.

Cinchonine (CN) has been known to exert antimalarial, antiplatelet, and antiobesity effects. It was also recently reported to inhibit transf … tion. Interestingly, CN not only inhibited the maturation and resorption function of differentiated osteoclasts but also promoted osteoblast differentiation. Furthermore, CN protected lipopolysaccharide- and ovariectomy-induced bone destruction in mouse models, suggesting its therapeutic potential for treating inflammation-induced bone diseases and postmenopa …

Osteoclastic activity was associated with the development of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head.

This study is focussed on evaluating and comparing two mediators of osteoclast, osteoprotegerin (OPG) and nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), in plasma and tissue levels in patients with steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head (SIONFH). Subjects were included in this cross-sectional case-control study in 2016. Bone histomorphology, immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, OPG and RANKL plasma levels, post-hoc statistical power and receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were evaluated. Eighty-six patients diagnosed with SIONFH and 51 healthy subjects were included. OPG expression lev

Isolation, Purification, and Differentiation of Osteoclast Precursors from Rat Bone Marrow.

Osteoclasts are large, multinucleated, and bone-resorbing cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage that are formed by the fusion of monocytes or macrophage precursors. Excessive bone resorption is one the most significant cellular mechanisms leading to osteolytic diseases, including osteoporosis, periodontitis, and periprosthetic osteolysis. The main physiological function of osteoclasts is to absorb both the hydroxyapatite mineral component and the organic matrix of bone, generating the characteristic resorption appearance on the surface of bones. There are relatively few osteoclasts compared…

Identification of a novel arthritis-associated osteoclast precursor macrophage regulated by FoxM1.

Osteoclasts have a unique bone-destroying capacity, playing key roles in steady-state bone remodeling and arthritic bone erosion. Whether the osteoclasts in these different tissue settings arise from the same precursor states of monocytoid cells is presently unknown. Here, we show that osteoclasts in pannus originate exclusively from circulating bone marrow-derived cells and not from locally resident macrophages. We identify murine CX3CR1hiLy6CintF4/80+I-A+/I-E+ macrophages (termed here arthritis-associated osteoclastogenic macrophages (AtoMs)) as the osteoclast precursor-containing population…

Isosteviol Derivative Inhibits Osteoclast Differentiation and Ameliorates Ovariectomy-Induced Osteoporosis.

NC-8 (ent-16-oxobeyeran-19-N-methylureido) is an isosteviol-derived analogue with multiple biological effects, including anti-inflammation and anti-bacterial activities and inhibition of HBV viral surface antigen gene expression. In this study, we explored the effects of NC-8 on the formation of osteoclasts from RAW 264.7 cells. We found that NC-8 exerts the novel effect of inhibiting osteoclast-like cell formation. Our experiments showed that RANKL-induced ERK, p38, and JNK phosphorylation were inhibited by NC-8. An ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis animal model was used to examine the protect…

Suppression Effect of Astaxanthin on Osteoclast Formation In Vitro and Bone Loss In Vivo.

Osteoporosis is characterized by a reduction of the bone mineral density (BMD) and microarchitectural deterioration of the bone, which lead to bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. Astaxanthin (AST) has a variety of biological activities, such as a protective effect against asthma or neuroinflammation, antioxidant effect, and decrease of the osteoclast number in the right mandibles in the periodontitis model. Although treatment with AST is known to have an effect on inflammation, no studies on the effect of AST exposure on bone loss have been performed. Thus, in the present study, we

… Estrogen deficiency increases osteoclast formation by providing a larger recruited osteoclast progenitor pool. The upregulated formation and activation of osteoclasts increases the resorption area of the trabecular bone surface [ 4 ]. … Effects of AST on Osteoclast Differentiation In order to evaluate the effect of AST ( Figure 1 A) on osteoclast differentiation, we added AST during osteoclast differentiation with RANKL and M-CSF. …

Potential Role of Rebamipide in Osteoclast Differentiation and Mandibular Condylar Cartilage Homeostasis.

BACKGROUND: Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) is a degenerative disease that involves changes in subchondral bone and progressive degradation of cartilage. Currently, rebamipide, a gastroprotective drug, is administered to protect gastric mucosa and accelerate ulcer healing. OBJECTIVES: Recent studies have shown that rebamipide also attenuates cartilage degeneration by suppressing oxidative damage and inducing homeostasis of the extracellular matrix of articular chondrocytes. Regarding the latter, reduced expression of cathepsin K, NFATc1, c-Src, and integrin β3, and increased e

Flavopiridol Protects Bone Tissue by Attenuating RANKL Induced Osteoclast Formation.

Bone resorption and homeostasis is carried out by osteoclasts, whose differentiation and activity are regulated by the RANK/RANKL axis. Our previous studies using a mouse model of joint injury show that joint trauma induces local inflammation followed by bone remodeling. The transcription factor cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) is the major regulator of inflammation, as CDK9 inhibitor flavopiridol effectively suppress injury-induced inflammatory response. The objective of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanism through which flavopiridol regulates bone resorption. The effects of…

Bone matrix components activate the NLRP3 inflammasome and promote osteoclast differentiation.

The NLRP3 inflammasome senses a variety of signals referred to as danger associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), including those triggered by crystalline particulates or degradation products of extracellular matrix. Since some DAMPs confer tissue-specific activation of the inflammasomes, we tested the hypothesis that bone matrix components function as DAMPs for the NLRP3 inflammasome and regulate osteoclast differentiation. Indeed, bone particles cause exuberant osteoclastogenesis in the presence of RANKL, a response that correlates with NLRP3 abundance and the state of inflammasome activation.

Galectin-3 as a novel regulator of osteoblast-osteoclast interaction and bone homeostasis.

Bone tissue undergoes permanent and lifelong remodeling with a concerted action of bone-building osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts. A precise cooperation between those two cell types is critical in the complex process of bone renewal. Galectin-3 is a member of the β-galactoside-binding lectin family playing multiple roles in cell growth, differentiation and aggregation. As it has been described to be expressed in bone, galectin-3 might influence bone homeostasis by regulating the function and/or interplay of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Here, we investigated the role of galectin-3 in …

Murine osteoblastic and osteoclastic differentiation on strontium releasing hydroxyapatite forming cements.

Ionic substitutions in hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds and self-setting cements containing Sr(2+) ions incorporated are particularly of interest in bone regeneration. To date, the approach widely used to incorporate Sr(2+) ions into HA cements has been the addition of Sr(2+) containing salts, such as SrCO3, SrCl2∙6H2O, or SrHPO4. However, this approach is dependent upon the relative solubility of Sr(2+) containing salts with respect to calcium phosphate (CaP) precursors. Therefore, in the current study Sr(2+) substituted dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) was first synthesized and directly rea

CLEC5A is critical for dengue virus-induced osteoclast activation and bone homeostasis.

UNLABELLED: Osteoclasts are bone tissue macrophages critical to maintain bone homeostasis. However, whether osteoclasts are susceptible to flaviviral infections and involved in dengue virus (DV)-induced disease pathogenesis is still unknown. In this study, we found that osteoclasts were preferentially susceptible to DV infection and produced similar amounts of cytokines and infectious virions as macrophages. Interestingly, DV-induced cytokine secretion and nuclear translocation of the transcription factor NFATc1 in osteoclast via the Syk-coupled myeloid C-type lectin member 5A (CLEC5A). Moreov…

LGR4 is a receptor for RANKL and negatively regulates osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily member 11 (TNFSF11, also known as RANKL) regulates multiple physiological or pathological functions, including osteoclast differentiation and osteoporosis. TNFRSF11A (also called RANK) is considered to be the sole receptor for RANKL. Herein we report that leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 4 (LGR4, also called GPR48) is another receptor for RANKL. LGR4 competes with RANK to bind RANKL and suppresses canonical RANK signaling during osteoclast differentiation. RANKL binding to LGR4 activates the Gαq and GSK3-β signaling pathway, an a

Caldecrin: A pancreas-derived hypocalcemic factor, regulates osteoclast formation and function.

Caldecrin was originally isolated from the pancreas as a factor that reduced serum calcium levels. This secreted serine protease has chymotr … lease from fetal mouse long bone organ cultures. Furthermore, caldecrin suppressed the formation of osteoclasts from bone marrow cells by inhibiting the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κ B ligand (RANKL)-stimulated phospholipase Cγ-calcium oscillation-calcineurin-nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1 pathway. Caldecrin also suppressed the bo …

Polycan suppresses osteoclast differentiation and titanium particle-induced osteolysis in mice.

Particle-induced osteolysis is a major issue, and it is most likely the result of enhanced osteoclast activation in the pathogenesis of various skeletal diseases. This study investigated whether the inhibitory effect that Polycan has on osteoclast differentiation can be used to treat osteolysis induced by titanium (Ti) particles. To this end, the effects of Polycan were examined in terms of the cytotoxicity, osteoclast differentiation, cytokine expression, and Ti-induced calvarial osteolysis. Polycan had no significant cytotoxic effects on bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) but instead increased B

Mechanical loading reduces inflammation-induced human osteocyte-to-osteoclast communication.

Multiple factors contribute to bone loss in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but circulating inflammatory factors and immobilization play a crucial role. Mechanical loading prevents bone loss in the general population, but the effects of mechanical loading in patients with RA are less clear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether mechanical stimuli reverse the stimulatory effect of RA serum on osteocyte-to-osteoclast communication. Human primary osteocytes were pretreated with 10 % RA serum or healthy control serum for 7 days, followed by 1 h ± mechanical loading by

Molecular basis of cranial suture biology and disease: Osteoblastic and osteoclastic perspectives.

The normal growth and development of the skull is a tightly regulated process that occurs along the osteogenic interfaces of the cranial sutures. Here, the borders of the calvarial bones and neighboring tissues above and below, function as a complex. Through coordinated remodeling efforts of bone deposition and resorption, the cranial sutures maintain a state of patency from infancy through early adulthood as the skull continues to grow and accommodate the developing brain's demands for expansion. However, when this delicate balance is disturbed, a number of pathologic conditions ensue; and if
