Convergent signaling by acidosis and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) on the calcium/calcineurin/NFAT pathway in osteoclasts

Abstract: Systemic acidosis has detrimental effects on the skeleton, and local acidosis coincides with bone destruction in inflammatory and metastatic diseases. Acidification dramatically enhances osteoclastic resorption, although the underlying mechanism has remained elusive. We investigated the effect of acidosis on the osteoclastogenic transcription factor NFATc1, which upon dephosphorylation translocates from the cytoplasm to nuclei.

“…It is now well established that NFATc1 is a master regulator of osteoclast differentiation (8,9,27,28). In addition to its role during the early commitment of monocytic precursors to osteoclast differentiation, accumulating data support the importance of NFATc1 during later stages of osteoclast maturation, such as cell-cell fusion; this transcription factor regulates the expression of various genes that encode proteins involved in osteoclast fusion, including Atp6v0d2 and DC-STAMP (4), and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, such as TRAP, cathepsin K, c-Src, and ␤3 integrin (8,9,27,28).…”

“…For example, NFATc1-null cells do not differentiate into osteoclasts and overexpression of intact NFATc1 stimulates osteoclast development from monocyte lineage precursors in a RANKL-independent manner (8). In addition to its important role in osteoclast differentiation, NFATc1 appears to be involved in bone resorption by osteoclasts (9). Recently, we reported a novel role for NFATc1 as a positive regulator of RANKL-mediated osteoclast fusion; this effect occurs as a result of the direct up-regulation of the expression of the fusion-regulating molecules Atp6v0d2 and DC-STAMP (10).…”

“…44,45,48 This notion is consistent with previous studies in which an upregulated HO system suppressed immune/inflammatory responses by abolishing macrophage infiltration and reducing mast-cell and basophils histamine release. 45 Given that NF-kB is activated by PLC, 15,16 and PLC mobilizes intracellular calcium to elevate blood pressure 11 and stimulate inflammation, 48 upregulating the HO system would be beneficial in these conditions. Figure 5 The effects of the CO-releasing molecule, CORM-3, on cGMP, ET-1, NF-kB, PLC, IP 3 and resting intracellular calcium in the mesenteric arterioles of UnX-DOCA-salt hypertensive rats.…”

“…As UnX-DOCA hypertension is characterized by elevated ET-1, and ET-1 stimulates PLC and IP 3 , 14 which in turn activate NF-kB, 15,16 the concomitant suppression of ET-1, PLC, IP 3 , 8-isoprostane and NF-kB by heme-arginate may be explored to attenuate the oxidative/inflammatory destruction of tissues. Collectively, our study unveils the effects of heme-arginate on PLC activity, and highlights the important link between the HO system, ET-1, the PLC-IP 3 signaling and NF-kB.…”
