Aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AhRs) play a critical role in various pathological and physiological processes. Although recent research has identified AhRs as a key contributor to bone metabolism following studies in systemic AhR knockout (KO) or transgenic mice, the cellular and molecular mechanism(s) in this process remain unclear. In this study, we explored the function of AhR in bone metabolism using AhRRANKΔOc/ΔOc (RANKCre/+;AhRflox/flox) mice. We observed enhanced bone mass together with decreased resorption in both male and female 12 and 24-week-old AhRRANKΔOc/ΔOc mice. Control mice treated with 3-methylcholanthrene (3MC), an AhR agonist, exhibited decreased bone mass and increased bone resorption, whereas AhRCtskΔOc/ΔOc (CtskCre/+;AhRflox/flox) mice injected with 3MC appeared to have a normal bone phenotype. In vitro, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from AhRRANKΔOc/ΔOc mice exhibited impaired osteoclastogenesis and repressed differentiation with downregulated expression of B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein 1 (Blimp1), and cytochrome P450 genes Cyp1b1 and Cyp1a2. Collectively, our results not only demonstrated that AhR in osteoclast lineage cells is a physiologically relevant regulator of bone resorption, but also highlighted the need for further studies on the skeletal actions of AhR inhibitors in osteoclast lineage cells commonly associated with bone diseases, especially diseases linked to environmental pollutants known to induce bone loss. 相似文献

Recent studies have emphasized the role of the dioxin receptor (AhR) in maintaining cell morphology, adhesion, and migration. These novel AhR functions depend on the cell phenotype, and although AhR expression maintains mesenchymal fibroblasts migration, it inhibits keratinocytes motility. These observations prompted us to investigate whether AhR modulates the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). For this, we have used primary AhR+/+ and AhR−/− keratinocytes and NMuMG cells engineered to knock down AhR levels (sh-AhR) or to express a constitutively active receptor (CA-AhR). Both AhR−/− keratinocytes and sh-AhR NMuMG cells had increased migration, reduced levels of epithelial markers E-cadherin and β-catenin, and increased expression of mesenchymal markers Snail, Slug/Snai2, vimentin, fibronectin, and α-smooth muscle actin. Consistently, AhR+/+ and CA-AhR NMuMG cells had reduced migration and enhanced expression of epithelial markers. AhR activation by the agonist FICZ (6-formylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole) inhibited NMuMG migration, whereas the antagonist α-naphthoflavone induced migration as did AhR knockdown. Exogenous TGFβ exacerbated the promigratory mesenchymal phenotype in both AhR-expressing and AhR-depleted cells, although the effects on the latter were more pronounced. Rescuing AhR expression in sh-AhR cells reduced Snail and Slug/Snai2 levels and cell migration and restored E-cadherin levels. Interference of AhR in human HaCaT cells further supported its role in EMT. Interestingly, co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence assays showed that AhR associates in common protein complexes with E-cadherin and β-catenin, suggesting the implication of AhR in cell-cell adhesion. Thus, basal or TGFβ-induced AhR down-modulation could be relevant in the acquisition of a motile EMT phenotype in both normal and transformed epithelial cells. 相似文献

Recent studies have suggested a regulatory role for the dioxin receptor (AhR) in cell adhesion and migration. Following our previous work, we report here that the C-terminal Src kinase-binding protein (Cbp) signaling pathway controls β1 integrin activation and that this mechanism is AhR dependent. T-FGM AhR ?/? fibroblasts displayed higher integrin β1 activation, revealed by the increased binding of the activation reporter 9EG7 anti-β1 mAb and of a soluble fibronectin fragment, as well as by enhanced talin-β1 association. AhR ?/? fibroblasts also showed increased fibronectin secretion and impaired directional migration. Notably, interfering Cbp expression in AhR ?/? fibroblasts reduced β1 integrin activation, improved cell migration and rescued wild-type cell morphology. Cbp over-expression in T-FGM AhR ?/? cells enhanced the formation of inhibitory Csk–Cbp complexes which in turn reduced c-Src p-Tyr416 activation and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation at the c-Src-responsive residues p-Tyr576 and p-Tyr577. The c-Src target and migration-related protein Cav1 was also hypophosphorylated at p-Tyr14 in AhR ?/? cells, and such effect was rescued by down-modulating Cbp levels. Thus, AhR regulates fibroblast migration by modulating β1 integrin activation via Cbp-dependent, Src-mediated signaling. 相似文献

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) has been shown to be required for optimal Thelper (Th) 17 cell activation. Th17 cells provide immunity against extracellular pathogens and are implicated in autoimmune diseases. Herein, the role of the AhR in cytokine production by Th17, and by the analogous population of T cytotoxic (Tc)17 cells, has been examined. Lymph node Tc (CD8+) and Th (CD4+) cells were isolated by negative selection from naive AhR+/− and AhR−/− mice and polarised to Tc1/Th1 or Tc17/Th17 phenotypes with appropriate cytokines. Cell differentiation was assessed as a function of mRNA and protein (ELISA and flow cytometry) expression for interferon (IFN)-γ and for key Th17 cytokines. In AhR+/− mice, Th17 cells displayed an exclusive IL-17 profile, which was markedly inhibited by a selective AhR antagonist to levels observed in AhR knockout mice. Addition of the natural AhR agonist 6-formylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole (FICZ) markedly enhanced Th17 cell activity in the heterozygotes. In contrast, Tc17 cells polarised into 3 distinct subsets: producing either IL-17 or IFN-γ alone, or both cytokines. Blocking AhR was also detrimental to Tc17 development, with reduced responses recorded in AhR−/− mice and antagonist-mediated reduction of IL-17 expression in the heterozygotes. However, Tc17 cells were largely refractory to exogenous FICZ, presumably because Tc17 cells express baseline AhR mRNA, but unlike Th17 cells, there is no marked up-regulation during polarisation. Thus, Th17 cell development is more dependent upon AhR activation than is Tc17 cell development, suggesting that endogenous AhR ligands play a much greater role in driving Th17 cell responses. 相似文献

In cytosol, the rat hepatic Ah receptor (AhR) appears to exist in two distinct forms (AhRα, AhRβ) in similar concentration. The binding of ligand (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)) to AhRα requires the receptor be in its oligomeric 8–10 to S conformation (bound to other protein subunits), while ligand binding to AhRβ can occur with the dissociated 5–6 S form. Occupancy of AhRβ by ligand (TCDD) protects it from salt-dependent inactivation; AhRβ is not inactivated by high salt conditions. The addition of molybdate to cytosol during tissue homogenization stabilized AhRα against salt-dependent inactivation and subunit dissociation but did not prevent dissociation of AhRβ by high salt. Although the presence of molybdate appears to stabilize AhRα in its oligomeric 8–10 S, it had no significant effect on the overall amount of TCDD:AhR complex which bound to its specific DNA recognition site, the dioxin responsive element (DRE). These results suggest that AhRα, unlike AhRβ, is either unable to transform or bind to the DRE with high affinity. 相似文献

Cbl is an adaptor protein and an E3 ligase that plays both positive and negative roles in several signaling pathways that affect various cellular functions. Tyrosine 737 is unique to Cbl and is phosphorylated by Syk and Src family kinases. Phosphorylated Cbl Tyr737 creates a binding site for the p85 regulatory subunit of PI3K, which also plays an important role in the regulation of bone resorption by osteoclasts. To investigate the role of Cbl-PI3K interaction in bone homeostasis, we examined the knock-in mice (CblYF/YF) in which the PI3K binding site in Cbl is ablated due to the mutation in the regulatory tyrosine. We report that in CblYF/YF mice, despite increased numbers of osteoclasts, bone volume is increased due to defective osteoclast function. Additionally, in ex vivo cultures, mature CblYF/YF osteoclasts showed an increased ability to survive in the presence of RANKL due to delayed onset of apoptosis. RANKL-mediated signaling is perturbed in CblYF/YF osteoclasts, and most interestingly, AKT phosphorylation is up-regulated, suggesting that the lack of PI3K sequestration by Cbl results in increased survival and decreased bone resorption. Cumulatively, these in vivo and in vitro results show that, on one hand, binding of Cbl to PI3K negatively regulates osteoclast differentiation, survival, and signaling events (e.g. AKT phosphorylation), whereas on the other hand it positively influences osteoclast function. 相似文献

The balance between bone resorption and bone formation involves the coordinated activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Communication between these two cell types is essential for maintenance of normal bone homeostasis; however, the mechanisms regulating this cross talk are not completely understood. Many factors that mediate differentiation and function of both osteoblasts and osteoclasts have been identified. The LIM protein Limd1 has been implicated in the regulation of stress osteoclastogenesis through an interaction with the p62/sequestosome protein. Here we show that Limd1 also influences osteoblast progenitor numbers, differentiation, and function. Limd1−/− calvarial osteoblasts display increased mineralization and accelerated differentiation. While no significant differences in osteoblast number or function were detected in vivo, bone marrow stromal cells isolated from Limd1−/− mice contain significantly more osteoblast progenitors compared to wild type controls when cultured ex vivo. Furthermore, we observed a significant increase in nuclear β-catenin staining in differentiating Limd1−/− calvarial osteoblasts suggesting that Limd1 is a negative regulator of canonical Wnt signaling in osteoblasts. These results demonstrate that Limd1 influences not only stress osteoclastogenesis but also osteoblast function and osteoblast progenitor commitment. Together, these data identify Limd1 as a novel regulator of both bone osetoclast and bone osteoblast development and function. 相似文献

Endoxifen has recently been identified as the predominant active metabolite of tamoxifen and is currently being developed as a novel hormonal therapy for the treatment of endocrine sensitive breast cancer. Based on past studies in breast cancer cells and model systems, endoxifen classically functions as an anti-estrogenic compound. Since estrogen and estrogen receptors play critical roles in mediating bone homeostasis, and endoxifen is currently being implemented as a novel breast cancer therapy, we sought to comprehensively characterize the in vivo effects of endoxifen on the mouse skeleton. Two month old ovariectomized C57BL/6 mice were treated with vehicle or 50 mg/kg/day endoxifen hydrochloride via oral gavage for 45 days. Animals were analyzed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, peripheral quantitative computed tomography, micro-computed tomography and histomorphometry. Serum from control and endoxifen treated mice was evaluated for bone resorption and bone formation markers. Gene expression changes were monitored in osteoblasts, osteoclasts and the cortical shells of long bones from endoxifen treated mice and in a human fetal osteoblast cell line. Endoxifen treatment led to significantly higher bone mineral density and bone mineral content throughout the skeleton relative to control animals. Endoxifen treatment also resulted in increased numbers of osteoblasts and osteoclasts per tissue area, which was corroborated by increased serum levels of bone formation and resorption markers. Finally, endoxifen induced the expression of osteoblast, osteoclast and osteocyte marker genes. These studies are the first to examine the in vivo and in vitro impacts of endoxifen on bone and our results demonstrate that endoxifen increases cancellous as well as cortical bone mass in ovariectomized mice, effects that may have implications for postmenopausal breast cancer patients. 相似文献

Receptor activator of NF‐κB ligand (RANKL) is essential for osteoclast formation and bone remodeling. Nevertheless, the cellular source of RANKL for osteoclastogenesis has not been fully uncovered. Different from peripheral adipose tissue, bone marrow (BM) adipose lineage cells originate from bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs). Here, we demonstrate that adiponectin promoter‐driven Cre expression (AdipoqCre ) can target bone marrow adipose lineage cells. We cross the AdipoqCre mice with ranklfl/fl mice to conditionally delete RANKL from BM adipose lineage cells. Conditional deletion of RANKL increases cancellous bone mass of long bones in mice by reducing the formation of trabecular osteoclasts and inhibiting bone resorption but does not affect cortical bone thickness or resorption of calcified cartilage. AdipoqCre; ranklfl/fl mice exhibit resistance to estrogen deficiency and rosiglitazone (ROS)‐induced trabecular bone loss but show bone loss induced by unloading. BM adipose lineage cells therefore represent an essential source of RANKL for the formation of trabecula osteoclasts and resorption of cancellous bone during remodeling under physiological and pathological conditions. Targeting bone marrow adiposity is a promising way of preventing pathological bone loss. 相似文献

In osteoporosis, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) prefer to differentiate into adipocytes at the expense of osteoblasts. Although the balance between adipogenesis and osteogenesis has been closely examined, the mechanism of commitment determination switch is unknown. Here we demonstrate that phospholipase D1 (PLD1) plays a key switch in determining the balance between bone and fat mass. Ablation of Pld1 reduced bone mass but increased fat in mice. Mechanistically, Pld1/? MSCs inhibited osteoblast differentiaion with diminished Runx2 expression, while osteoclast differentiation was accelerated in Pld1?/? bone marrow-derived macrophages. Pld1?/? osteoblasts showed decreased expression of osteogenic makers. Increased number and resorption activity of osteoclasts in Pld1?/? mice were corroborated with upregulation of osteoclastogenic markers. Moreover, Pld1?/? osteoblasts reduced β-catenin mediated-osteoprotegerin (OPG) with increased RANKL/OPG ratio which resulted in accelerated osteoclast differentiation. Thus, low bone mass with upregulated osteoclasts could be due to the contribution of both osteoblasts and osteoclasts during bone remodeling. Moreover, ablation of Pld1 further increased bone loss in ovariectomized mice, suggesting that PLD1 is a negative regulator of osteoclastogenesis. Furthermore, loss of PLD1 increased adipogenesis, body fat mass, and hepatic steatosis along with upregulation of PPAR-γ and C/EBPα. Interestingly, adipocyte-specific Pld1 transgenic mice rescued the compromised phenotypes of fat mass and adipogenesis in Pld1 knockout mice. Collectively, PLD1 regulated the bifurcating pathways of mesenchymal cell lineage into increased osteogenesis and decreased adipogenesis, which uncovered a previously unrecognized role of PLD1 in homeostasis between bone and fat mass. 相似文献

Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is a key pathogen of chronic periodontitis. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is essential in immune homeostasis via modulation of pro‐inflammatory cytokines production and indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase (IDO). In this study, it is demonstrated that P. gingivalis may regulate AhR signalling in periodontitis, which provides a potential target for further immune regulation studies in periodontitis. Experimental periodontitis was induced in C57BL/6 mice by silk ligature and P. gingivalis oral inoculation. The alveolar bone resorption was examined using Micro‐CT. Histological structures were observed and related cytokines involved in AhR signalling pathway were analysed. RAW264.7 cells were pretreated with AhR agonist (FICZ) and antagonist () and infected with P. gingivalis subsequently. The levels of IDO, AhR and other related cytokines were measured. To demonstrate IDO activity, the concentrations of tryptophan (Trp) and kynurenine (Kyn) were assessed by HPLC. Histological analysis of periodontitis mice showed distinct alveolar bone resorption and inflammatory cell infiltration. The level of AhR and its downstream target factors were significantly decreased in inflamed gingival tissue. Furthermore, RAW 264.7 cells incubated by P. gingivalis exhibited increased pro‐inflammatory cytokines production and decreased AhR, CYP1A1, CYP1B1, and IDO expression. Decreased IDO activity was observed as decreased Kyn/Trp ratio in the supernatant. Moreover, FICZ decreased the pro‐inflammatory cytokines levels in P. gingivalis infected cells. It is concluded that P. gingivalis may promote inflammatory responses via inhibiting the AhR signalling pathway in periodontitis.The schematic figure illustrating P. gingivalis inhibits Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signalling pathway in periodontitis. P. gingivalis infection suppressed AhR and its downstream indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase (IDO) expression in periodontitis, which is responsible for the degradation of tryptophan (Trp) to kynurenine (Kyn). The downregulation of AhR signalling may increase IL‐6 and IL‐1β production by activating NF‐κB and NLRP3 inflammasome. CH223191相似文献
