Multiple myeloma (MM) is largely incurable, and is characterized by devastating bone destruction caused by increased osteoclast (OCL) differentiation and bone resorption in more than 85% of MM patients. OCLs in MM not only promote bone resorption but also increase MM cell growth and drug resistance. Despite recent advances in anti-myeloma treatment, development of anti-MM drug resistance is a major limitation of MM therapy. Therefore, new treatment modalities are urgently needed to overcome drug resistance and decrease bone resorption. IGF1 is a crucial factor for tumor cell growth and survival of malignant cells, especially in MM. IGFI also contributes to development of drug resistance of MM cells to anti-MM agents, including proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory agents, but how OCLs contribute to drug resistance is still not clearly delineated. We found that IGF1 was highly expressed in OCLs attached to bone and bone marrow myeloid cells in vivo, and the expression levels of IGF1 in OCLs from MM bearing mice is higher than in normal OCLs. Intriguingly, OCLs produced more IGF1 (0.8 ng/ml/protein) than MM cells (not detected) and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) (0.4 ng/ml/protein) in vitro. In addition, IGF1 protein expression in OCLs was upregulated (1.8 fold) by treatment with conditioned media (CM) from 5TGM1 murine MM cells, TNF-α or IL-6, major paracrine factors that are increased in the bone marrow microenvironment in MM. These results suggest that OCLs are a major source of local IGF1 in the MM bone marrow microenvironment. To further characterize the role of OCL-derived IGF1, we generated a novel mouse with targeted deletion of Igf1 in OCLs (IGF1-/--OCL), and assessed the role of OCL-derived IGF1 in drug resistance of MM cells and bone destruction. Treatment of 5TGM1 cells with bortezomib (BTZ) (3 nM, 48 hours) decreased the viability of 5TGM1 cells by 50%. Importantly, the cytotoxic effects of BTZ on MM cells were decreased (by 5%) when MM cells were cocultured with OCLs from wild type (WT) mice. In contrast, coculture of MM cells with IGF1-/--OCLs or WT-OCLs treated with IGF1 neutralizing antibody (IGF1-ab) did not block BTZ's effects on MM cell death. Consistent with these results, coculture of MM cells with IGF1-/--OCLs or WT-OCLs treated with IGF1-ab resulted in BTZ-induced caspase-dependent apoptosis in MM cells. We next examined the effects of OCLs on the signaling pathways responsible for MM cell survival. WT-OCL-CM promptly induced the phosphorylation of Akt and activation of p38, ERK and NF-κB in MM cells. However, these pathways were not activated by MM cells treated with IGF1-/--OCL-CM or IGF1-ab-treated WT-OCL-CM. Since adhesion of MM cells to BMSCs via interaction of VLA-4 and VCAM-1 plays a critical role in cell adhesion-mediated drug resistance (CAMDR) in MM, we tested if treatment of human BMSCs with human OCL-CM upregulated VCAM-1 expression. We found that OCL-CM upregulated VCAM-1 expression on BMSCs (x fold). In contrast, treatment of BMSCs with OCLs treated with IGF1-ab blocked VCAM-1 induction. These data suggest that OCL-derived IGF1 can contribute to MM cell drug resistance in the bone marrow microenvironment. We then examined the role of IGF1 inhibition on osteoclastogenesis and the bone resorption capacity of OCLs. RANK ligand induced the expression of cathepsin K and NFATc1 in CD11b+ bone marrow cells from WT mice, differentiation markers of OCLs, and the formation of TRAP-positive multinucleated OCLs. However, OCLs formed by RANK ligand treatment of CD11b+ bone marrow cells from IGF1-/- mice had markedly decreased cathepsin K and NFATc1 expression and OCL formation. Next, we tested the bone resorption capacity of OCLs formed by CD11b+ bone marrow cells from IGF1-/- mice vs. WT mice. Similar numbers of OCLs were cultured with RANK ligand on bone slices for 72 hours. The bone resorption activity of Igf1-/--OCLs was significantly decreased (70%) compared with WT-OCLs. These results suggest that OCL-derived IGF1 plays a critical role in MM drug resistance and bone destruction, and that inhibition of the effect of IGF1 in OCLs should decrease MM drug resistance and bone destruction.

Primary osteoporosis is a disease related to excessive bone resorption due to estrogen insufficiency that occurs postmenopause. Protocatechuic acid (PCA), or 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, is a common compound present in numerous plants. Although numerous biological activities of PCA have been identified, its antiosteoporotic function has not been well established. In this study, the antiosteoporotic activity of PCA supplementation was determined in ovariectomized (OVX) female ICR mice at 12 weeks after OVX. The biomechanical properties of a bone were evaluated by microcomputed tomography. The signaling molecules associated with osteoclast differentiation were determined in bone marrow cells through immunoblot or RT-PCR. Oral supplementation with PCA (20 mg/kg/day) significantly ameliorated the OVX-mediated stimulation of osteoclast activity based on decreases in serum levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL), osteocalcin, and bone alkaline phosphatase and increase in serum osteoprotegerin (each group, n=6; p<0.05). In addition, the OVX-induced decreases in mRNA expression levels of cathepsin K, calcitonin receptor, nuclear factor of activated T cell cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor-6 (TRAF6) in bone marrow cells were significantly attenuated (each group, n=6; p<0.05). Finally, the loss of trabecular bone and changes in biomechanical properties of a bone were significantly improved by supplementation with 20 mg/kg PCA (each group, n=6; p<0.05). Collectively, our results show that PCA supplement suppressed trabecular bone loss in OVX mice and therefore might be an effective alternative approach for preventing the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract Although bone resorption and osteoclast numbers are reduced in osteopetrotic (op/op) mice, osteoclasts are nevertheless present and functional, despite the absence of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). This suggests that alternative factors can partly compensate for the crucial actions of M-CSF in osteoclast induction. It was found that when nonadherent bone marrow cells were incubated in RANKL with Flt3 ligand (FL) without exogenous M-CSF, tartrate-resistance acid phosphatase (TRAP)–positive cells were formed, and bone resorption occurred. Without FL, only macrophagelike TRAP-negative cells were present. Granulocyte-macrophage CSF, stem cell factor, interleukin-3, and vascular endothelial growth factor could not similarly replace the need for M-CSF. TRAP-positive cell induction in FL was not due to synergy with M-CSF produced by the bone marrow cells themselves because FL also enabled their formation from the hemopoietic cells of op/op mice, which lack any M-CSF. FL appeared to substitute for M-CSF by supporting the differentiation of adherent cells that express mRNA for RANK and responsiveness to RANKL. To determine whether FL can account for the compensation for M-CSF deficiency that occurs in vivo, FL signaling was blockaded in op/op mice by the injection of soluble recombinant Flt3. It was found that the soluble receptor induced a substantial decrease in osteoclast number, strongly suggesting that FL is responsible for the partial compensation for M-CSF deficiency that occurs in these mice.

The present in-vitro study used bone marrow cell cultures and investigated the effects of cyclic pressure on osteoclastic bone resorption. Compared to control (cells maintained under static conditions), the number of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive, osteoclastic cells was significantly p<0.05 lower when, immediately upon harvesting, bone marrow cells were exposed to cyclic pressure (10–40 kPa at 1.0 Hz). In contrast, once precursors in bone marrow cells differentiated into osteoclastic cells under static culture conditions for 7 days, subsequent exposure to the cyclic pressure of interest to the present study did not affect the number of osteoclastic cells. Most important, exposure of bone marrow cells to cyclic pressure for 1 h daily for 7 consecutive days resulted in significantly p<0.05 lower osteoclastic bone resorption and in lowered mRNA expression for interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), cytokines that are known activators of osteoclast function. In addition to unique contributions to osteoclast physiology, the present study provided new evidence of a correlation between mechanical loading and bone homeostasis as well as insight into the molecular mechanisms of bone adaptation to mechanical loading, namely cytokine-mediated control of osteoclast functions.

AbstractRadiation induces rapid bone loss and enhances bone resorption and RANKL expression. RANKL provides the crucial signal to induce osteoclast differentiation and plays an important role in bone resorption. However, the mechanisms of radiation-induced osteoporosis are not fully understood. Here, we show that Crif1 expression increases in bone marrow cells after radiation. Conditional Crif1 deletion in bone marrow cells causes decreases in RANKL expression and the RANKL/OPG ratio, and relieves bone loss after radiation in mice. We further demonstrated in vitro that Crif1 promotes RANKL secretion via the cAMP/PKA pathway. Moreover, protein-protein docking screening identified five compounds as Crif1 inhibitors; these compounds dramatically suppressed RANKL secretion and CREB phosphorylation when cells were exposed to forskolin. This study enriches current knowledge of the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and provides insights into potential therapeutic strategies for osteoporosis treatment.

Er-Xian decoction (EXD), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been reported to have a protective effect against bone loss in ovariectomized osteoporotic rats, and the inclusion of icariin (I), curculigoside (C), and berberine (B) in EXD displays inhibitory effects on osteoclastic bone resorption. In the present paper, we investigated the interaction and effects of I, C, B, and their combination on bone resorption activityin vitroon osteoclasts derived from rat bone marrow cells. ICB synergistically decreased the formation of bone resorption pits, the number of multinucleated osteoclasts, and the activity of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and showed antagonistic or additive effects on cathepsin K activity in the coculture system of osteoblasts and bone marrow cells in the presence of 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3and dexamethasone. The combination of ICB also enhanced the inhibitory effects on the formation of F-actin ring, a cytoskeleton structure of osteoclasts induced from bone marrow cells with macrophage colony stimulation factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL). In addition, ICB synergistically improved the ratio of protein expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and RANKL in osteoblasts and interfered with the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) pathway in osteoclast. These results clearly show that I, C, B, and their combination in EXD exert effects of mutual reinforcement. However, IBC does not show an intensified adverse effect in the ovariectomized murine model, as revealed by change in body and uterine weight, confirming the safety of EXD. These observations are in agreement with the rationality of the formula used in this paper.
