CD11b promotes the differentiation of osteoclasts induced by RANKL through the spleen tyrosine kinase signalling pathway

چکیده
Macrophage surface antigen-1 (Mac-1, CD11b/CD18) has been implicated in the regulation of osteoclastogenesis. In the synovial tissues of patients with aseptic loosening after total hip replacement, CD11b was up-regulated, which indicated that CD11b is closely involved in osteolysis around the prosthesis. We found that CD11b, but not CD18, promoted osteoclast (OC) maturation. Here, we show CD11b up-regulated the levels of spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk), c-Fos and nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic-1 (NFATc1), as well as the activity of extracellular-regulated kinase (Erk), and as a result, osteoclast precursors (OCPs) differentiated and became tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive. In addition, increased tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced by ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) particles up-regulated the level of CD11b. Taken together, these findings suggest that CD11b is a positive regulator of osteoclastogenesis and that it functions by activating the Syk signalling pathway, while CD18 does not have the same effect.

I-7: Maternal Signalling to the Placenta
Background: Though it is well established that maternal blood-borne signals influence highly the growth of the placenta, the mechanisms are not known. In vitro trophoblast culture models are limited by an inability to reconstruct the polarised bilayer of the human hemochorial placenta. We have used a first trimester villous tissue explant system to investigate how growth factors interact with p...
متن کاملPKCβ Positively Regulates RANKL-Induced Osteoclastogenesis by Inactivating GSK-3β
Protein kinase C (PKC) family members phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets and are known to be involved in diverse cellular signaling pathways. However, the role of PKC in receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) signaling has remained elusive. We now demonstrate that PKCβ acts as a positive regulator which inactivates glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and promotes NFATc1 induct...

BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a highly specific signaling protein for vascular endothelial cells that plays a critical role in tumor growth and invasion through angiogenesis, and may contribute to cell migration and activation of pre-osteoclasts, osteoclasts and some tumor cells. OBJECTIVES We aimed to clarify the detailed roles of VEGF-Flt-1 signaling in bone invasi...
متن کاملRegulatory mechanism of osteoclastogenesis by RANKL and Wnt signals.
Osteoclasts develop from monocyte-macrophage lineage cells under the regulation of osteoblasts. Osteoblasts express two cytokines essential for osteoclastogenesis, macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-KappaB ligand (RANKL). Osteoblasts also produce osteoprotegerin (OPG), a decoy receptor for RANKL, which inhibits the interaction between RANKL and...
متن کاملAfatinib ameliorates osteoclast differentiation and function through downregulation of RANK signaling pathways
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the third most common cancer that spreads to the bone, resulting in osteolytic lesions caused by hyperactivation of osteoclasts. Activating mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase (EGF-TK) are frequently associated with NSCLC, and afatinib is a first-line therapeutic drug, irreversibly targeting EGF-TK. However, the effects of afatinib...
