  • The receptor activator of nuclear factor ${\kappa}B$ (RANK) and its ligand RANKL are key regulators of osteoclastogenesis and well-recognized targets in developing treatments for bone disorders associated with excessive bone resorption, such as osteoporosis. Our previous work on the structure of the RANK-RANKL complex revealed that Loop3 of RANK, specifically the non-canonical disulfide bond at the tip, performs a crucial role in specific recognition of RANKL. It also demonstrated that peptide mimics of Loop3 were capable of interfering with the function of RANKL in osteoclastogenesis. Here, we reported the structure-based design of a smaller peptide with enhanced inhibitory efficiency. The kinetic analysis and osteoclast differentiation assay showed that in addition to the sharp turn induced by the disulfide bond, two consecutive arginine residues were also important for binding to RANKL and inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. Docking and molecular dynamics simulations proposed the binding mode of the peptide to the RANKL trimer, showing that the arginine residues provide electrostatic interactions with RANKL and contribute to stabilizing the complex. These findings provided useful information for the rational design of therapeutics for bone diseases associated with RANK/RANKL function.

  • Parthenolide, a natural product derived from Feverfew, prevents septic shock and inflammation. We aimed to identify the effects of parthenolide on the RANKL (receptor activator of $NF-{\kappa}B$ ligand)-induced differentiation and bone resorbing activity of osteoclasts. In this study, parthenolide dose-dependently inhibited RANKL-mediated osteoclast differentiation in BMMs, without any evidence of cytotoxicity and the phosphorylation of p38, ERK, and $I{\kappa}B$, as well as $I{\kappa}B$ degradation by RANKL treatment. Parthenolide suppressed the expression of NFATc1, OSCAR, TRAP, DC-STAMP, and cathepsin K in RANKL-treated BMMs. Furthermore, parthenolide down-regulated the stability of c-Fos protein, but could not suppress the expression of c-Fos. Overexpression of NFATc1 and c-Fos in BMMs reversed the inhibitory effect of parthenolide on RANKL-mediated osteoclast differentiation. Parthenolide also inhibited the bone resorbing activity of mature osteoclasts. Parthenolide inhibits the differentiation and bone-resolving activity of osteoclast by RANKL, suggesting its potential therapeutic value for bone destructive disorders associated with osteoclast-mediated bone resorption.

  • 치아의 맹출은 치아기 (dental organ)와 치조골의 세포와 연관된 매우 복잡한 과정이다. 우선 치아 맹출이 일어나기 전에 파골세포가 치낭으로 집결하게 된다. 이러한 치낭의 역할은 파골세포와 조골세포의 상호작용으로 이루어지는 골개조와 밀접한 관련이 있는데 이는 치아 맹출과 연관된 많은 유전자들이 치낭에서 발현되기 때문이다. RANKL는 TNF ligand family로써 조골세포에 존재하며 파골세포의 형성 및 전구세포로 부터의 활성화를 유도한다. 이러한 RANKL는 OPG에 의해 그 작용이 억제되며 RANKL와 OPG의 상대적인 비율이 파골세포의 형성에 영향을 미친다. 또한 Runx2 유전자의 변이는 조골세포의 분화와 활성 에 차질을 가져오고 결국 RANKL/OPG pathway를 통해 파골세포 형성에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 치아의 발육 및 맹출에 미치는 RANKL및 OPG의 영향을 알아보고 Runx2와의 연관성을 알아보기 위해 in situ hybridization방법으로 태생 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11일된 쥐의 하악 및 제1대구치를 사용하여 실험을 실시한 결과 RANKL, OPG, Runx2의 mRNA가 태생 1일부터 11일까지 치낭 및 치아주위조직에 특성 있게 나타났다. 이중 태생 5일에서 9일 사이에 RANKL 및 Runx2는 치아의 교합면측과 하방 치조골 부위의 발현이 강하게 나타난 반면 OPG는 약한 발현을 보였다. 이는 또한 파골세포의 활성부위를 알아보기 위해 TRAP염색을 실시하여 태생 5일에서 9일 사이에 최대의 활성화를 나타낸 결과와 연관성 있게 나타났다. RANKL, OPG, Runx2의 특성 있는 발현양상들을 종합해 볼 때, 치아 맹출은 치낭, 치아기, 치조골 사이의 상호 작용을 통해 이루어지며, 이는 치낭이 치아 맹출에 있어서 매우 중요하다는 것을 의미한다. 또한, 이러한 유전자들 (RANKL, OPG, Runx2) 이 치아의 맹출에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 사료된다.

  • Recently, we reported that high extracellular calcium increased receptor activator of nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ ligand (RANKL) expression via p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p44/42 MAPK) activation in mouse osteoblasts. However, the mechanism for p44/42 MAPK activation by high extracellular calcium is unclear. In this study, we examined the role of intracellular calcium increase in high extracellular calcium-induced RANKL induction and p44/42 MAPK activation. Primary cultured mouse calvarial osteoblasts were used. RANKL expression was highly induced by 10 mM calcium treatment. Ionomycin, a calcium ionophore, also increased RANKL expression and activated p44/42 MAPK. U0126, an inhibitor of MEK1/2, an upstream activator of p44/42 MAPK, blocked the RANKL induction by both high extracellular calcium and ionomycin. High extracellular calcium increased the phosphorylation of proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2), one of the known upstream regulators of p44/42 MAPK activation. Bisindolylmaleimide, an inhibitor of protein kinase C, did not block RANKL induction and p44/42 MAPK activation induced by high extracellular calcium. 2-Aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, an inhibitor of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor, blocked the RANKL induction by high extracellular calcium. It also partially suppressed the activation of Pyk2 and p44/42 MAPK. Cyclosporin A, an inhibitor of calcineurin, also inhibited high calcium-induced RANKL expression in dose dependent manner. However, cyclosporin A did not affect the activation of Pyk2 and p44/42 MAPK by high extracellular calcium treatment. These results suggest that 1) the increase in intracellular calcium via IP3-mediated calcium release is necessary for RANKL induction by high extracellular calcium treatment, 2) Pyk2 activation, but not protein kinase C, following the increase in intracellular calcium might be involved in p44/42 MAPK activation, and 3) calcineurin-NFAT activation by the increase in intracellular calcium is involved in RANKL induction by high extracellular calcium treatment.

  • RCAN1은 calcineurin을 억제하는 내인성 단백질로 calcineurin-NFATc1 신호전달 경로와 관련된 질환의 병인에 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 특히 RCAN1-4 아형 유전자의 경우 NFATc1 전사인자에 의해 조절된다. RANKL 자극은 calcineurin-NFATc1 경로로 파골세포 분화를 유도하는데, RCAN1과 파골세포의 분화에 관련된 연구는 보고 된 바 없다. 따라서 본 연구는 RANKL 처리에 의해 파골세포 분화가 유도될 때 RCAN1이 calcineurin-NFATc1 경로에 미치는 영향을 in vitro에서 조사했다. 마우스로부터 분리한 골수단핵세포에 RANKL을 처리하여 파골세포 분화를 유도했다. RANKL 처리 후 조사 대상 유전자의 mRNA 발현과 단백질 발현을 각각 RT-PCR과 Western blot로써 측정했다. 마우스 RCAN1-4 vector를 파골전구세포인 RAW 264.7 단핵세포주와 골수단핵세포에 형질도입(transfection)시켜 RCAN1-4 유전자의 과발현을 유도했다. 형질도입 후 파골세포 분화의 형태적 변화는 TRAP 염색을 통해 관찰했다. RANKL 처리 후 NFATc1, calcineurin, RCAN1-4 mRNA 발현은 크게 증가했다. 단백질 발현의 경우 NFATc1과 RCAN1은 증가했으나 calcineurin은 대조군과 차이가 없었다. RCAN1-4 유전자의 과발현 유도 시 RCAN1-4 mRNA는 크게 증가되었으나 RCAN1 단백질 발현은 증가되지 않았다. 특히 RANKL 존재 시 RCAN1 유전자를 knock-down시켜도 RCAN1 발현은 정상적으로 유지되었다. 한편, NFATc1 발현은 과발현 유도시 감소했고 knock-down 유도 시 증가하는 경향을 보였다. RCAN1-4 유전자 과발현을 유도한 골수단핵세포에서 배양 5일 후 파골세포 분화는 대조군과 차이가 없었다. 이러한 결과는 RANKL에 의한 파골세포 분화 시 RCAN1이 calcineurin-NFATc1 경로를 통해 파골세포 분화에 미치는 영향은 제한적일 것으로 사료된다.

  • Heme oxygenase (HO-1) catalyzes heme to carbon monoxide (CO), biliverdin/bilirubin, and iron and is known to prevent the pathogenesis of several human diseases. We assessed the beneficial effect of heme degradation products on osteoclastogenesis induced by receptor activator of NF-${\kappa}B$ ligand (RANKL). Treatment of RAW264.7 cells with CORM-2 (a CO donor) and bilirubin, but not with iron, decreased RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis, with CORM-2 having a more potent anti-osteogenic effect. CORM-2 also inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and osteoclastic resorption activity in marrow-derived macrophages. Treatment with hemin, a HO-1 inducer, strongly inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in wild-type macrophages, but was ineffective in $HO-1^{+/-}$ cells. CORM-2 reduced RANKL-induced NFATc1 expression by inhibiting IKK-dependent NF-${\kappa}B$ activation and reactive oxygen species production. These results suggest that CO potently inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis by inhibiting redox-sensitive NF-${\kappa}B$-mediated NFATc1 expression. Our findings indicate that HO-1/CO can act as an anti-resorption agent and reduce bone loss by blocking osteoclast differentiation.

  • As the periodontal ligament cells show similar phenotype with osteoblasts, periodontal ligament cells are thought to play an important role in alveolar bone remodeling. According to recent studies, receptor activation of nuclear factor $^{\kappa}B$ ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) are expressed in periodontal ligament cells during tooth movement. Also periodontal ligament cells is known to play an important role in the progression of periodontal disease. This study was designed how the expression of RANKL and OPG in periodontal ligament cells was regulated by IL-1 ${\beta}in$ the concentration of $0.01{\sim}10$ ng/ml. The results are as follows; 1. Periodontal ligament cells which stimulated by 1L-1 ${\beta}$ increased soluble RANKL synthesis by dose-dependent pattern in the concentration of $0.01{\sim}10$ ng/ml. 2. 1L-1 ${\beta}$ induced mRANKL expression in dose-dependent manner in the concentration of $0.01{\sim}5$ ng/ml. 3. mOPG expression was not to be influenced by 1L-1 ${\beta}$. These results suggested that rat periodontal ligament cells could regulate osteoclastogenesis by stimulation of production of RANKL.

  • The ameloblastoma is a common odontogenic tumor of the jaw bone and represents approximately 1% of tumor in the jaw. However, it might be able to infiltrate into the adjacent tissue, causing bony destruction and high recurrent rate. In this study, expression of RANKL and OPG in ameloblastoma in relation to age and gender of patient and recurrence, location of the lesion were examined through immunohistochemisry study. The RANKL and OPG antibody staining were used. The obtained result were as follow. 1. Positive immunoreactivity to RANKL/OPG in all specimens was found. 2. 1n recurrenc, location of ameloblastoma and age, gender of patients using immunohistochemical expression of RANKL. There was not significant difference. 3. 1n recurrence, location of ameloblastoma and age, gender of patients using immunohistochemical expression of OPG. There was not significant difference. In summary, it is suggested that activation of osteoclasts by RANKL is an important mechanism by which ameloblastomas cause bone destruction.
