Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) and the ligand for receptor activator of NF-kappaB (RANKL) are abundant in sites of inflammatory bone erosion. Because these cytokines are potent osteoclastogenic factors and because their signaling pathways are considerably overlapping, we postulated that under pro-inflammatory conditions RANKL and TNF might synergistically orchestrate enhanced osteoclastogenesis via cooperative mechanisms. We found TNF, via TNF type 1 receptor (TNFr1), prompts robust osteoclastogenesis by osteoclast precursors pretreated with RANKL, and deletion of TNFr1 abrogates this response. Enhanced osteoclastogenesis is associated with high expression of otherwise TNF and RANKL-induced mediators, including c-Src, TRAF2, TRAF6, and MEKK-1, levels of which were notably reduced in TNFr1 knockouts. Recruitment of TRAFs and MEKK1 leads to activation of downstream pathways, primarily I kappa B/NF-kappa B, ERKs, and cJun/AP-1. Consistent with impaired osteoclastogenesis and reduced expression of TRAFs and MEKK1, we found that phosphorylation and activation of I kappa B, NF-kappa B, ERKs, and cJun/AP-1 are severely reduced in RANKL-treated TNFr1-null osteoclast precursors compared with wild type counterparts. Finally, we found that TNF and RANKL synergistically up-regulate RANK expression in wild type precursors, whereas basal and stimulated levels of RANK are significantly lower in TNFr1 knockout cells. Our data suggest that exuberant TNF-induced osteoclastogensis is the result of coupling between RANK and TNFr1 and is dependent upon signals transmitted by the latter receptor. 相似文献

OPG/RANKL/RANK系统与骨破坏性疾病 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
近年来发现的OPG/RANKL/RANK系统在破骨细胞生成中起着至关重要的作用,是骨骼生理研究领域的重大进展。成骨细胞、骨髓基质细胞、激活的T淋巴细胞表达RANKL,与破骨细胞前体细胞或成熟破骨细胞表面上的RANK结合后,促进破骨细胞的分化及骨吸收活性。成骨细胞及骨髓基质细胞分泌表达OPG可与RANKL竞争性结合,从而阻断RANKL与RANK之间的相互作用。体内多种激素或因子通过影响骨髓微环境内的OPG/RANKL比率来调节骨代谢。此外,乳腺上皮细胞表达有RANK,孕期在性激素的诱导下可表达RANKL,OPG/RANKL/RANK系统在孕期乳腺发育以及母体向胎儿的钙转运过程中发挥重要作用。阻断RANKL/RANK通路有望给骨质疏松、类风湿关节炎及癌症骨转移等骨破坏性疾病的治疗开辟新的途径。进一步研究应了解OPG/RANKL/RANK系统与其它信号传导途径的关系,重视骨骼、免疫及内分泌系统之间的相互作用。目前,开发与OPG功能相似或促进其表达的合成药物有可能成为具有良好经济效益和社会效益的产业。 相似文献

The marrow stromal cell is the principal source of the key osteoclastogenic cytokine receptor activator of NF-kappaB (RANK) ligand (RANKL). To individualize the role of marrow stromal cells in varying states of TNF-alpha-driven osteoclast formation in vivo, we generated chimeric mice in which wild-type (WT) marrow, immunodepleted of T cells and stromal cells, is transplanted into lethally irradiated mice deleted of both the p55 and p75 TNFR. As control, similarly treated WT marrow was transplanted into WT mice. Each group was administered increasing doses of TNF-alpha. Exposure to high-dose cytokine ex vivo induces exuberant osteoclastogenesis irrespective of in vivo TNF-alpha treatment or whether the recipient animals possess TNF-alpha-responsive stromal cells. In contrast, the osteoclastogenic capacity of marrow treated with lower-dose TNF-alpha requires priming by TNFR-bearing stromal cells in vivo. Importantly, the osteoclastogenic contribution of cytokine responsive stromal cells in vivo diminishes as the dose of TNF-alpha increases. In keeping with this conclusion, mice with severe inflammatory arthritis develop profound osteoclastogenesis and bone erosion independent of stromal cell expression of TNFR. The direct induction of osteoclast recruitment by TNF-alpha is characterized by enhanced RANK expression and sensitization of precursor cells to RANKL. Thus, osteolysis attending relatively modest elevations in ambient TNF-alpha depends upon responsive stromal cells. Alternatively, in states of severe periarticular inflammation, TNF-alpha may fully exert its bone erosive effects by directly promoting the differentiation of osteoclast precursors independent of cytokine-responsive stromal cells and T lymphocytes. 相似文献

A variety of humoral factors modulate the osteoclastogenesis. Receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) expressed on osteoblast/stromal lineage cells plays a pivotal role to transduce an essential differentiation signal to osteoclast lineage cells through binding to its receptor, RANK, expressed on the latter cell population; however, the difficulty to detect RANKL protein expression hampers us in investigating the regulation of RANKL expression by humoral factors. To determine protein expression of RANKL, we have established a new method, named as a ligand-receptor precipitation (LRP) Western blot analysis, which can specifically concentrate the target protein by the use of specific binding characteristic between RANKL and RANK/osteoprotegrin (OPG). RANKL protein expression in the postnuclear supernatant was not detected by common Western blotting, but LRP Western blot analysis clearly showed that RANKL is produced as a membrane-bound protein on murine osteoblasts/stromal cells, and cleaved into a soluble form by metalloprotease. Cytokines stimulating the osteoclastogenesis, such as IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-11, IL-17, and TNF-alpha, increased the expression of RANKL with decrease of OPG expression in osteoblasts/stromal cells. In contrast, cytokines inhibiting the osteoclastogenesis, such as IL-13, INF-gamma, and TGF-beta1 suppressed the expression of RANKL and/or augmented OPG expression. Functional difference between membrane-bound and soluble RANKL was demonstrated, which showed that membrane-bound RANKL works more efficiently than soluble RANKL in the osteoclastogenesis developed from murine bone marrow cell culture. The present study indicates the usefulness of LRP Western blot analysis, which shows that the modulation of osteoclastogenesis by humoral factors is achieved, in part, by regulation of the expression of RANKL and OPG in osteoblast/stromal lineage cells. 相似文献

We examined the role of osteopontin (OPN) in the osteoclastogenesis of arthritis using collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). Cells from arthritic joints of wild-type (OPN +/+) mice spontaneously developed bone-resorbing osteoclast-like cells (OCLs). The cultured cells showed an enhanced expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL) and a decreased expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG). The addition of OPG reduced the number of OCLs, indicating that the osteoclastogenesis depends on the RANK/RANKL/OPG system. The cells also produced OPN abundantly and anti-OPN neutralizing antibodies suppressed the development of OCLs. Moreover, the addition of OPN increased the expression of RANKL and augmented differentiation of OCLs from OPN-deficient (OPN -/-) cells. OPN, like the combination of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) and dexamethasone, also enhanced the RANKL expression and decreased OPG expression in a stromal cell line, ST2. These results suggest that OPN acts as a positive regulator in the osteoclastogenesis of arthritis through the RANK/RANKL/OPG system. 相似文献

Direct inhibition of human RANK+ osteoclast precursors identifies a homeostatic function of IL-1beta
Lee B Kim TH Jun JB Yoo DH Woo JH Choi SJ Lee YH Song GG Sohn J Park-Min KH Ivashkiv LB Ji JD 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2010,185(10):5926-5934
IL-1β is a key mediator of bone resorption in inflammatory settings, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). IL-1β promotes osteoclastogenesis by inducing RANKL expression on stromal cells and synergizing with RANKL to promote later stages of osteoclast differentiation. Because IL-1Rs share a cytosolic Toll-IL-1R domain and common intracellular signaling molecules with TLRs that can directly inhibit early steps of human osteoclast differentiation, we tested whether IL-1β also has suppressive properties on osteoclastogenesis in primary human peripheral blood monocytes and RA synovial macrophages. Early addition of IL-1β, prior to or together with RANKL, strongly inhibited human osteoclastogenesis as assessed by generation of TRAP(+) multinucleated cells. IL-1β acted directly on human osteoclast precursors (OCPs) to strongly suppress expression of RANK, of the costimulatory triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 receptor, and of the B cell linker adaptor important for transmitting RANK-induced signals. Thus, IL-1β rendered early-stage human OCPs refractory to RANK stimulation. Similar inhibitory effects of IL-1β were observed using RA synovial macrophages. One mechanism of RANK inhibition was IL-1β-induced proteolytic shedding of the M-CSF receptor c-Fms that is required for RANK expression. These results identify a homeostatic function of IL-1β in suppressing early OCPs that contrasts with its well-established role in promoting later stages of osteoclast differentiation. Thus, the rate of IL-1-driven bone destruction in inflammatory diseases, such as RA, can be restrained by its direct inhibitory effects on early OCPs to limit the extent of inflammatory osteolysis. 相似文献

Osteoprotegerin and inflammation 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

RANK, RANKL, and OPG have well established regulatory effects on bone metabolism. RANK is expressed at very high levels on osteoclastic precursors and on mature osteoclasts, and is required for differentiation and activation of the osteoclast. The ligand, RANKL binds to its receptor RANK to induce bone resorption. RANKL is a transmembrane protein expressed in various cells type and particularly on osteoblast and activated T cells. RANKL can be cleaved and the soluble form is active. Osteoprotegerin decoy receptor (OPG), a member of the TNF receptor family expressed by osteoblasts, strongly inhibits bone resorption by binding with high affinity to its ligand RANKL, thereby preventing RANKL from engaging its receptor RANK. This system is regulated by the calciotropic hormones. Conversely, the effects of RANKL, RANK, and OPG on inflammatory processes, most notably on the bone resorption associated with inflammation, remain to be defined. The RANK system seems to play a major role in modulating the immune system. Activated T cells express RANKL messenger RNA, and knock-out mice for RANKL acquire severe immunological abnormalities and osteopetrosis. RANKL secretion by activated T cells can induce osteoclastogenesis. These mechanisms are enhanced by cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-1, and IL-17, which promote both inflammation and bone resorption. Conversely, this system is blocked by OPG, IL-4, and IL-10, which inhibit both inflammation and osteoclastogenesis. These data may explain part of the abnormal phenomena in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis characterized by both inflammation and destruction. Activated T cells within the rheumatoid synovium express RANKL. Synovial cells are capable of differentiating to osteoclast-like cells under some conditions, including culturing with M-CSF and RANKL. This suggests that the bone erosion seen in rheumatoid arthritis may result from RANKL/RANK system activation by activated T cells. This opens up the possibility that OPG may have therapeutic effects mediated by blockade of the RANKL/RANK system. 相似文献

A new member of tumor necrosis factor ligand family, ODF/OPGL/TRANCE/RANKL, regulates osteoclast differentiation and function 总被引:38,自引:0,他引:38

Osteoclasts, the multinucleated giant cells that resorb bone, develop from monocyte-macrophage lineage cells. Osteoblasts or bone marrow stromal cells have been suggested to be involved in osteoclastic bone resorption. The recent discovery of new members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-ligand family has elucidated the precise mechanism by which osteoblasts/stromal cells regulate osteoclast differentiation and function. Osteoblasts/stromal cells express a new member of the TNF-ligand family "osteoclast differentiation factor(ODF)/osteoprotegerin ligand (OPGL)/TNF-related activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE)/receptor activator of NF-kB ligand (RANKL)" as a membrane associated factor. Osteoclast precursors which possess RANK, a TNF receptor family member, recognize ODF/OPGL/TRANCE/RANKL through cell-to-cell interaction with osteoblasts/stromal cells, and differentiate into osteoclasts in the presence of macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Mature osteoclasts also express RANK, and their bone-resorbingactivity is also induced by ODF/OPGL/TRANCE/RANKL which osteoblasts/stromal cells possess. Osteoprotegerin (OPG)/osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor (OCIF)/TNF receptor-like molecule 1 (TR1) is a soluble decoy receptor for ODF/OPGL/TRANCE/RANKL. Activation of NF-kB and c-Jun N-terminal kinase through the RANK-mediated signaling system appears to be involved in differentiation and activation of osteoclasts. 相似文献

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a decoy receptor for receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL), an inducer of osteoclastogenesis via its receptor RANK. We recently demonstrated that OPG also exerts a direct effect in osteoclasts by regulating protease expression. Herein, we showed that OPG-induced pro-matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity was abolished by ras/MAPK inhibitors in purified osteoclasts. OPG induced the phosphorylation of p38 and ERK1/2 in RAW264.7 cells. Only p38 activation was totally abolished by a blocking anti-RANKL antibody or an excess of RANKL. Surface plasmon resonance experiments revealed that RANK, RANKL and OPG are able to form a tertiary complex. These results suggested a potential formation of a tertiary complex RANK-RANKL-OPG on osteoclasts. Thus, OPG is not only a soluble decoy receptor for RANKL but must be also considered as a direct effector of osteoclast functions. 相似文献

Receptor activator of NF-kB Ligand (RANKL) is an essential requirement for osteoclastogenesis and its activity is neutralized by binding to the soluble decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG). The purpose of this work was to study the effects of RANKL and OPG during osteoclastogenesis using the murine monocytic cell line RAW 264.7 that can differentiate into osteoclasts in vitro. RAW 264.7 cells plated at 10(4) cells/cm(2) and cultured for 4 days in the presence of RANKL represent the optimal culture conditions for osteoclast differentiation, with an up-regulation of all parameters related to bone resorption: tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), calcitonin receptor (CTR), RANK, cathepsin K, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 mRNA expressions. RANKL and OPG biological effects vary according to the differentiation state of the cells: in undifferentiated RAW 264.7 cells, TRAP expression was decreased by OPG and RANKL, RANK expression was inhibited by OPG, while MMP-9 and cathepsin K mRNA expressions were not modulated. In differentiated RAW 264.7 cells, RANKL and OPG both exert an overall inhibitory effect on the expression of all the parameters studied. In these experimental conditions, OPG-induced MMP-9 inhibition was abrogated in the presence of a blocking anti-RANKL antibody, suggesting that part of OPG effects are RANKL-dependent. 相似文献

It has been reported previously that inhibitory kappaB kinase (IKK) supports osteoclastogenesis through NF-kappaB-mediated prevention of apoptosis. This finding suggests that the ligand for receptor activator of NF-kappaB (RANKL), the master osteoclastogenic cytokine, induces apoptosis of osteoclast precursors (OCPs) in the absence of IKKbeta/NF-kappaB competency. To validate this hypothesis, we sought to determine the pro-apoptotic signaling factors induced by RANKL in IKKbeta-null osteoclast OCPs and to rescue osteoclast differentiation in the absence of IKKbeta through their inhibition. To accomplish this, we generated mice that lack IKKbeta in multiple hematopoietic lineages, including OCPs. We found that these mice possess both in vitro and in vivo defects in osteoclast generation, in concurrence with previous reports, and that this defect is a result of susceptibility to RANKL-mediated apoptosis as a result of gain-of-function of JNK activation. We demonstrate that differentiation of OCPs depends on IKKbeta because reduced IKKbeta mRNA expression correlates with impaired induction of osteoclast differentiation markers in response to RANKL stimulation. We further show that fine-tuned inhibition of JNK activation in these cells inhibits RANKL-induced apoptosis and restores the ability of IKKbeta-null OCPs to become mature osteoclasts. Our data highlight the pro-osteoclastogenic and anti-apoptotic roles of IKKbeta in OCPs and identify a pro-apoptotic mechanism activated within the RANK signalosome. 相似文献

The differentiation and activity of osteoclasts are positively and negatively controlled by receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL), which is expressed on the surface of osteoblasts and stromal cells, and its decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG), which is secreted by osteoblasts and stromal cells, respectively. The expression of the genes for RANKL and OPG is regulated by 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)]. Runt-related gene-2 (Runx-2) is essential for osteoblast differentiation and there are several reports that Runx-2 is involved in osteoclast formation. Therefore, to clarify the role of Runx-2 in osteoclastogenesis, we designed a series of experiments using C2 cells and C6 cells, which are derived from calvariae of runx2-deficient mice. Treatment of C2 cells and C6 cells with 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) for 2-4 days increased and decreased the levels of expression of the mRNAs for RANKL and OPG, respectively, and the effects were dose-dependent. However, by day 8, the level of RANKL mRNA had fallen and that of OPG mRNA had risen. Furthermore, C6 cells induced the differentiation of mouse spleen cells into tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive (TRAP-positive) multinucleated cells (osteoclast-like cells) in the presence of 10(-7)M 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3). Such formation of osteoclast-like cells was inhibited by exogenous OPG in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, our findings indicate that Runx-2 is not essential for the expression of RANKL and OPG, and the formation of osteoclast-like cells. 相似文献

The emergence of the molecular triad osteoprotegerin (OPG)/Receptor Activator of NF-kB (RANK)/RANK Ligand (RANKL) has helped elucidate a key signalling pathway between stromal cells and osteoclasts. The interaction between RANK and RANKL plays a critical role in promoting osteoclast differentiation and activation leading to bone resorption. OPG is a soluble decoy receptor for RANKL that blocks osteoclast formation by inhibiting RANKL binding to RANK. The OPG/RANK/RANKL system has been shown to be abnormally regulated in several malignant osteolytic pathologies such as multiple myeloma [MM, where enhanced RANKL expression (directly by tumour cells or indirectly by stromal bone cells or T-lymphocytes)] plays an important role in associated bone destruction. By contrast, production of its endogenous counteracting decoy receptor OPG is either inhibited or too low to compensate for the increase in RANKL production. Therefore, targeting the OPG/RANK/RANKL axis may offer a novel therapeutic approach to malignant osteolytic pathologies. In animal models, OPG or soluble RANK was shown both to control hypercalcaemia of malignancy and the establishment and progression of osteolytic metastases caused by various malignant tumours. To this day, only one phase I study has been performed using a recombinant OPG construct that suppressed bone resorption in patients with multiple myeloma or breast carcinoma with radiologically confirmed bone lesions. RANK-Fc also exhibits promising therapeutic effects, as revealed in animal models of prostate cancer and multiple myeloma. If the animal results translate to similar clinical benefits in humans, using RANK-Fc or OPG may yield novel and potent strategies for treating patients with established or imminent malignant bone diseases and where standard therapeutic regimens have failed. 相似文献

Changes in RANKL/OPG/RANK gene expression in peripheral mononuclear cells following treatment with estrogen or raloxifene 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The RANKL/OPG/RANK pathway is the key mediator of osteoclastogenesis. Mononuclear cells may be implicated in post-menopausal osteoporosis. The effect of estrogen or raloxifene on bone resorption and the expression of RANKL/OPG/RANK in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was examined. Twenty-nine women with post-menopausal osteoporosis were treated with estrogen (HRT) or raloxifene for 12 months. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at baseline and at 12 months at the spine and hip. Serum C-terminal telopeptide (CTX) and OPG were measured at baseline and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. PBMCs were isolated from 17 women and changes in RANKL, OPG and RANK mRNA were determined. The effects of estrogen or raloxifene in PBMCs in vitro were also assessed. BMD increased following treatment (lumbar spine % change mean [S.E.M.]: 4.3% [0.9], p<0.001). Serum CTX decreased (6 months: -43.7% [6.0], p<0.0001). Serum OPG declined gradually (12 months: -26.4% [4.4], p<0.001). RANKL, OPG and RANK gene expression decreased (6 months: RANKL 50.0% [24.8] p<0.001, OPG: 21.7% [28] p<0.001, RANK: 76.6% [10.2] p=0.015). Changes in OPG mRNA correlated with changes in BMD (r=-0.53, p=0.027) and CTX (r=0.7, p=0.0044). Down-regulation in RANKL, OPG, RANK mRNA and reduction in bone resorption was also seen in vitro. These results suggest that the expression of RANKL/OPG/RANK in PBMCs are responsive to the slowing in bone turnover/remodeling associated with treatment with estrogen or raloxifene. Further confirmatory studies are needed. 相似文献

Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand (RANKL), a well-known membrane-bound molecule expressed on osteoblasts and
bone marrow stromal cells, is believed to induce osteoclast differentiation and activation by binding to the receptor activator
of nuclear factor-kB (RANK), which is expressed on the surface of osteoclast lineage cells. This induction is inhibited by
osteoprotegerin (OPG) that is secreted by osteoblast lineage and acts as a decoy receptor of RANKL. Currently the essential
role of the OPG/RANKL/RANK system in the process of osteoclast maturation, as well as activation, has been well established,
and the majority of bone resorption regulators control osteoclast formation and activation through their effects on this system
and especially on the relative expression levels of RANKL and OPG [1]. 相似文献

BackgroundTo this day, empirical data suggests that zinc has important roles in matrix synthesis, bone turnover, and mineralization and its beneficial effects on bone could be mediated through different mechanisms. The influence of zinc on bone turnover could be facilitated via regulating RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway in bone tissue. Therefore, the aim of the study was to conduct a review to investigate the possible effect of the zinc mediated bone remodeling via RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway.MethodsA comprehensive systematic search was performed in MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar to explore the studies investigating the effect of zinc as a bone remodeling factor via RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway regulation. Subsequently, the details of the pathway and the impact of zinc supplements on RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway regulation were discussed.ResultsThe pathway could play an important role in bone remodeling and any imbalance between RANKL/RANK/OPG components could lead to extreme bone resorption. Although the outcomes of some studies are equivocal, it is evident that zinc possesses protective properties against bone loss by regulating the RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway. There are several experiments where zinc supplementation resulted in upregulation of OPG expression or decreases RANKL level. However, the results of some studies oppose this.ConclusionIt is likely that sufficient zinc intake will elicit positive effects on bone health by RANKL/RANK/OPG regulation. Although the outcomes of a few studies are equivocal, it seems that zinc can exert the protective properties against bone loss by suppressing osteoclastogenesis via downregulation of RANKL/RANK. Additionally, there are several experiments where zinc supplementation resulted in upregulation of OPG expression. However, the results of limited studies oppose this. Therefore, aside from the positive role zinc possesses in preserving bone mass, further effects of zinc in RANKL/RANK/OPG system requires further animal/human studies. 相似文献

RANKing intracellular signaling in osteoclasts 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

RANKL plays a pivotal role in the differentiation, function and survival of osteoclasts, the principal bone-resorbing cells. RANKL exerts the effects by binding RANK, the receptor activator of NF-kappaB, in osteoclasts and its precursors. Upon binding RANKL, RANK activates six major signaling pathways: NFATc1, NF-kappaB, Akt/PKB, JNK, ERK and p38, which play distinct roles in osteoclast differentiation, function and survival. Recent studies have not only provided more insights into RANK signaling but have also revealed that several factors, including INF-gamma, IFN-beta, and ITAM-activated costimulatory signals, regulate osteoclastogenesis via direct crosstalk with RANK signaling. It was recently shown that RANK contains three functional motifs capable of mediating osteoclastogenesis. Moreover, although both IFN-gamma and IFN-beta inhibit osteoclastogenesis, they exert the inhibitory effects by distinct mechanisms. Whereas IFN-gamma has been shown to block osteoclastogenesis by promoting degradation of TRAF6, IFN-beta inhibits osteoclastogenesis by down-regulating c-fos expression. In contrast, the ITAM-activated costimulatory signals positively regulate osteoclastogenesis by mediating the activation of NFATc1 through two ITAM-harboring adaptors: FcRgamma and DAP12. This review is focused on discussing the current understanding of RANK signaling and signaling crosstalk between RANK and the various factors in osteoclasts. 相似文献

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative anaerobe implicated in chronic periodontitis, a bacterial-induced inflammatory condition that causes destruction of the periodontal connective tissues and underlying alveolar bone. The receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) is a cytokine that directly stimulates osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption, whereas its decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG) blocks this action. This study aimed to investigate the effects of P. gingivalis culture supernatants on RANKL and OPG expression in W20-17 bone marrow stromal cells, and evaluate the involvement of its virulence factors, particularly gingipains and lipopolysaccharide. P. gingivalis up-regulated RANKL and down-regulated OPG mRNA expression and protein production. These effects were blocked by indomethacin, suggesting mediation by prostaglandins. Furthermore, P gingivalis induced the production of prostaglandin E(2). Heat-inactivation, or chemical inhibition of P. gingivalis gingipains did not affect RANKL and OPG regulation. However, lipopolysaccharide depletion by polymyxin B abolished RANKL induction, and partly rescued the suppression of OPG. In conclusion, P. gingivalis regulates the RANKL-OPG system via prostaglandin E(2) in bone marrow stromal cells, in a manner that favours osteoclastogenesis. A non-proteolytic and non-proteinaceous P. gingivalis component is involved in these events, most probably its lipopolysaccharide. This activity may contribute to the bone loss characteristic of periodontitis. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether fibrochondrocytes from menisci express receptor activator of NF-kappaB (RANK), its ligand (RANKL), or osteoprotegerin (OPG) and, if so, whether their expression is modulated by dynamic mechanical loading under inflammatory and normal conditions. METHODS: Fibrochondrocytes from rat menisci were subjected to cyclic tensile strain (CTS) at various magnitudes and frequencies in the presence or absence of interleukin (IL)-1beta for up to 24 h. In order to determine whether a possible regulatory effect of mechanical loading on RANKL and its receptors under inflamed conditions is sustained, cells were stimulated with IL-1beta for 24 h while being subjected to CTS only for the initial 4 and 8h, respectively. Regulation of RANKL, RANK, and OPG expression and synthesis were determined by semiquantitative and real-time PCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence. RESULT: Fibrochondrocytes constitutively expressed low levels of RANKL and RANK but marked levels of OPG. IL-1beta upregulated expression and synthesis of RANKL and RANK significantly (p<0.05), whereas expression of OPG was unaffected following 4 and 24 h. When fibrochondrocytes were simultaneously subjected to CTS and IL-1beta, expression of RANKL and RANK was significantly (p<0.05) downregulated as compared to that of IL-1beta-stimulated unstretched cells. The inhibitory effect of CTS on the IL-1beta-induced upregulation of RANKL and RANK was sustained as well as magnitude and frequency dependent. CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides evidence that RANKL and its receptors are expressed in fibrochondrocytes from meniscus. These data also demonstrate that dynamic mechanical loading can modify the expression of RANKL and RANK in inflammatory conditions. 相似文献

骨是一种动态更新的组织,它不断进行骨吸收(bone resorption)与骨形成(bone formation)的平衡,这个过程称之为骨重建(bone remodeling).核因子κB受体活化因子配体(receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand,RANKL)是骨吸收和骨形成耦联的关键,具有诱导破骨细胞(osteoclast, OC)生成、活化,抑制破骨细胞凋亡的作用.RANKL最初发现于活化的T细胞,但骨重建过程中RANKL主要来源于骨细胞、成骨细胞和骨髓基质细胞.RANKL/核因子κB受体活化因子(receptor activator of nuclear factor κB,RANK)/骨保护素(osteoprotegerin, OPG)信号通路在成骨细胞调控破骨细胞生成的过程中起着重要的调节作用,是维持骨重建平衡的关键.本文就RANKL及其在骨中的分子作用机制作一综述. 相似文献
