we report that the natural compound gambogic acid (GBA) inhibits osteoclast formation, thereby attenuating osteoclastic bone resorption in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we found that GBA acted by suppressing activation of JNK, p38 and Akt signalling.

Although the anti-tumor and anti-infective properties of β-glucans have been well-discussed, their role in bone metabolism has not been reviewed so far. This review discusses the biological effects of β-glucans on bone metabolisms, especially on bone-resorbing osteoclasts, which are differentiated from hematopoietic precursors. Multiple immunoreceptors that can recognize β-glucans were reported to be expressed in osteoclast precursors. Coordinated co-stimulatory signals mediated by these immunoreceptors are important for the regulation of osteoclastogenesis and bone remodeling. Curdlan from the bacterium Alcaligenes faecalis negatively regulates osteoclast differentiation in vitro by affecting both the osteoclast precursors and osteoclast-supporting cells. We also showed that laminarin, lichenan, and glucan from baker’s yeast, as well as β-1,3-glucan from Euglema gracilisas, inhibit the osteoclast formation in bone marrow cells. Consistent with these findings, systemic and local administration of β-glucan derived from Aureobasidium pullulans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae suppressed bone resorption in vivo. However, zymosan derived from S. cerevisiae stimulated the bone resorption activity and is widely used to induce arthritis in animal models. Additional research concerning the relationship between the molecular structure of β-glucan and its effect on osteoclastic bone resorption will be beneficial for the development of novel treatment strategies for bone-related diseases.

Abstract Bone is the most common site of distant relapse in breast cancer, leading to severe complications which dramatically affect the patients’ quality of life. It is believed that the crosstalk between metastatic breast cancer cells and osteoclasts is critical for breast cancer-induced osteolysis. In this study, the effects of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) on osteoclast formation, bone resorption, osteoblast differentiation and mineralization were initially assessed in vitro, followed by further investigation in a titanium-particle-induced osteolysis model in vivo. Based on the proved inhibitory effect of DHA on osteolysis, DHA was further applied to MDA-MB-231 breast cancer-induced mouse osteolysis model, with the underlying molecular mechanisms further investigated. Here, we verified for the first time that DHA suppressed osteoclast differentiation, F-actin ring formation and bone resorption through suppressing AKT/SRC pathways, leading to the preventive effect of DHA on titanium-particle-induced osteolysis without affecting osteoblast function. More importantly, we demonstrated that DHA inhibited breast tumor-induced osteolysis through inhibiting the proliferation, migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells via modulating AKT signaling pathway. In conclusion, DHA effectively inhibited osteoclastogenesis and prevented breast cancer-induced osteolysis.

Abstract To investigate the suppressive function of LY900009, a potent-secretase inhibitor, on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. The cytotoxicity of LY900009 was evaluated. The suppressive effect and possible molecular mechanism of LY900009 on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis was evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. The IC50 of LY900009 was 2.93 mM. LY900009 treatment at different doses (100 nM, 200 nM, and 400 nM) effectively reduced osteoclast formation (number and arear) in a dose-dependent manner. The qPCR result shows that LY900009 attenuates RANKL-induced osteoclast formation and NFATc1 protein expression. The in vivo experiments demonstrated the inhibitory effect of LY900009 on LPS-induced bone resorption. LY900009 could potently inhibit osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption by down-regulating Notch/MAPK/Akt - mediated NFATc1 reduction in vitro. In accordance with the in vitro observations, we confirmed that LY900009 attenuated LPS-induced osteolysis in mice. In conclusion, our findings indicate that Notch was a potential therapeutic target which could be used for osteolytic diseases treatment.

Interleukin (IL)-33 is a member of the IL-1 family, which acts as an alarmin. Several studies suggested that IL-33 inhibited osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is considered a direct inducer of osteoclastogenesis. However, there has been no report regarding the effect of IL-33 on TNF-α-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. The objective of this study is to investigate the role of IL-33 on TNF-α-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. In an in vitro analysis of osteoclastogenesis, osteoclast precursors, which were derived from bone marrow cells, were treated with or without IL-33 in the presence of TNF-α. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining solution was used to assess osteoclast formation. In an in vivo analysis of mouse calvariae, TNF-α with or without IL-33 was subcutaneously administrated into the supracalvarial region of mice daily for 5 days. Histological sections were stained for TRAP, and osteoclast numbers were determined. Using micro-CT reconstruction images, the ratio of bone destruction area on the calvariae was evaluated. The number of TRAP-positive cells induced by TNF-α was significantly decreased with IL-33 in vitro and in vivo. Bone resorption was also reduced. IL-33 inhibited IκB phosphorylation and NF-κB nuclear translocation. These results suggest that IL-33 inhibited TNF-α-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption.

Iodixanol (IDX) and iohexol (IHX) have been investigated as possible radiopacification agents for polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement, to replace the currently used barium sulphate and zirconia. IDX and IHX are both water-soluble iodine-based contrast media and for the last 20 years have been used extensively in clinical diagnostic procedures such as contrast media enhanced computed tomography, angiography and urography. One of the major reasons to remove the current radiopacifying agents is their well-documented cytotoxicity and their potential to increase bone resorption. Using in vitro bone resorption assays, the effect of PMMA particles plus IDX or IHX to induce osteoclast formation and lacunar resorption on dentine slices has been investigated. These responses have been compared with the in vitro response to PMMA particles containing the conventional radiopacifying agents, that is, barium sulphate and zirconia. In parallel, the in vivo reaction, in terms of new bone formation, to particles of these materials has been tested using a bone harvest chamber in rabbit tibiae. In vitro cell culture showed that PMMA containing IHX resulted in significantly less bone resorption than PMMA containing the conventional opacifiers. In vivo testing, however, showed no significant differences between the amounts of new bone formed around cement samples containing the two iodine-based opacifying agents in particulate form, although both led to fewer inflammatory cells than particles of PMMA containing zirconia. Our results suggest that a non-ionic radiopacifier could be considered as an alternative to the conventional radiopacifying agents used in biomaterials in orthopaedic surgery.

Abstract Titanium implantation is widely used for dental replacement with advantages of excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, chemical stability and biocompatibility. Some patients, however, are subject to the failure of implantation due to bone resorption, which closely related to the inflammatory responses without clear mechanisms. In this study, first we found that there were inflammatory responses and increases of osteoclasts in the surrounding tissues near by the titanium implant. Further, data revealed that the C3 was increased in the serum and surrounding tissues near by the titanium implant, and activated by classical and alternative pathways. Next, we recognized that the C3a/C3aR, no C3b played an important role in stimulating secretions of pro-inflammatory cytokines of TNF-α and MMP9 via transcription factors NF-kB and NFATc1. This cascade of responses to titanium implant leaded the differentiation and proliferation of osteoclasts in vivo and in vitro, bone resorption of surrounding tissues of Ti implant. These suggest that the cleaved C3a fragment plays predominant roles in the activation of osteoclast. Therefore, the blocking C3a activation should provide potential to prevent bone resorption and prolong the survival of biomaterial implants.
