Effect of glycosphingolipids on osteoclastogenesis and osteolytic bone diseases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Alterations in glycosphingolipid (GSL) production results in lysosomal storage disorders associated with neurodegenerative changes. In Gaucher's disease, the patients also develop osteoporosis that is ameliorated upon treatment for the underlying defect in GSL metabolism. The role of GSLs in osteoclast and osteoblast formation is discussed here as well as the potential therapeutic uses of already approved drugs that limit GSL production in bone loss disorders such as multiple myeloma and periodontal disease.

Glycosphingolipid synthesis inhibition limits osteoclast activation and myeloma bone disease.
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are essential constituents of cell membranes and lipid rafts and can modulate signal transduction events. The contribution of GSLs in osteoclast (OC) activation and osteolytic bone diseases in malignancies such as the plasma cell dyscrasia multiple myeloma (MM) is not known. Here, we tested the hypothesis that pathological activation of OCs in MM requires de novo GSL s...
متن کاملGF109203X attenuates RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and suppresses osteolysis in a mouse model
Aseptic loosening after joint replacement is primarily caused by wear particle-induced osteolysis, which shortens the life of the prosthesis. Research shows that there are many osteolytic cytokines around prostheses that are loosened due to wear particles. Among these, receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) is the only factor that can directly stimulate the formation and functio...
متن کاملP62: An emerging oncotarget for osteolytic metastasis
Bone metastasis occurs in the majority of late-stage tumors with poor prognosis. It is mainly classified as osteoblastic metastasis and osteolytic metastasis. The pathogenesis of osteolytic metastasis is a "vicious cycle" between tumor cells and bone cells (primarily the osteoclasts), which is mediated by secretory factors. The P62 adapter protein is a versatile multitasker between tumor cells ...
متن کاملMicroRNAs and Osteolytic Bone Metastasis: The Roles of MicroRNAs in Tumor-Induced Osteoclast Differentiation
Osteolytic bone metastasis frequently occurs in the later stages of breast, lung, and several other cancers. Osteoclasts, the only cells that resorb bone, are hijacked by tumor cells, which break down bone remodeling systems. As a result, osteolysis occurs and may cause patients to suffer bone fractures, pain, and hypercalcemia. It is important to understand the mechanism of bone metastasis to ...
متن کاملCurrent topics in pharmacological research on bone metabolism: osteoclast differentiation regulated by glycosphingolipids.
Glycosphingolipids are thought to play important roles in the development and function of several tissues, although the function of glycolipids in osteoclastogenesis has not been clearly demonstrated. In the present study, D-threo-1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol (D-PDMP), a glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor, completely inhibited osteoclastogenesis induced by macrophage-colony...
