Dexamethasone Enhances Osteoclast Formation Synergistically with Transforming Growth Factor-β by Stimulating the Priming of Osteoclast Progenitors for Differentiation into Osteoclasts

Abstract: Long-term administration of glucocorticoids (GCs) causes osteoporosis with a rapid and severe bone loss and with a slow and prolonged bone disruption. Although the involvement of GCs in osteoblastic proliferation and differentiation has been studied extensively, their direct action on osteoclasts is still controversial and not conclusive. In this study, we investigated the direct participation of GCs in osteoclastogenesis. Dexamethasone (Dex) at <10 ؊8 M stimulated, but at >10

“…GCs influence the production and action of hormones that regulate bone and calcium metabolism and also have direct effects of GCs on bone. GCs increase the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANK-L) and decrease the expression of its soluble decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG) in stromal and osteoblastic cells [78] and also enhance the expression of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), which in the presence of RANK-L induces osteoclastogene sis [78][79][80] . GCs have direct effects on osteoclasts also by suppressing the expression of an autocrine cytokine, such as interferonⅠ, that normally exerts inhibitory effects on osteoclastogenesis [80] .…”

Also they inhibit the function of mature osteoblasts and suppress the synthesis of insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ, an agent that enhances bone formation [78,79] .…”

“…Glucocorticoids also act on osteoclastogenesis through osteoblastic signals on the receptor activator of the nuclear factor kB ligand (RANK-L) -osteoprotegerin (OPG) axis. Glucocorticoids enhance RANK-L, which binds and activates RANK on the surface of osteoclasts precursor, and also inhibit OPG production, with a consequent induction of osteoclastogenesis (8) and an early increase in bone resorption in GIO. This increased bone resorption can explain the response to antiresorbing drugs in the management of GIO.…”

“…Glucocorticoid therapy can enhance bone resorption, but the most important effect of glucocorticoid is suppression of bone formation through several mechanisms (6)(7)(8). Glucocorticoids decrease gastrointestinal calcium absorption and increase renal calcium excretion, which may result in modest elevations in serum levels of Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) that cannot explain all skeletal changes observed in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO).…”

“…The main reason for that is the fact that long term glucocorticoid therapy can induce rapid and severe bone loss which eventually heightens the risk of fractures. An analysis of General Practice Research Database (UK) at Veterans Affair Medical Centers shows that 40% of respiratory patients who underwent glucocorticoid therapy with daily dosage addition were facing a relative increased risk of femur and spine fractures (Abu 2000, Adler 2003, Takuma 2003, Jia 2006, Kim 2006, Swanson 2006, Lu 2007.…”
