Osteoprotegerin Is a Receptor for the Cytotoxic Ligand TRAIL

Abstract: TRAIL is a tumor necrosis factor-related ligand that induces apoptosis upon binding to its death domaincontaining receptors, DR4 and DR5. Two additional TRAIL receptors, TRID/DcR1 and DcR2, lack functional death domains and function as decoy receptors for TRAIL. We have identified a fifth TRAIL receptor, namely osteoprotegerin (OPG), a secreted tumor necrosis factor receptor homologue that inhibits osteoclastogenesis and increases bone density in vivo. OPG-Fc binds TRAIL with an affinity of 3.0 nM, which is sl… Show more

“…Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand also binds to the decoy receptors DcR1 (TRAIL-R3) (Sheridan et al, 1997) and DcR2 (TRAIL-R4) , but these receptors contain either no cytoplasmic death domain or a truncated death domain and, therefore, are unable to induce apoptosis. Finally, TRAIL interacts with osteoprotegerin, a secreted soluble protein; however, the functional significance of this interaction is less clear (Emery et al, 1998). The current model of TRAIL signaling suggests that engagement of death receptors, that is DR4 and DR5, by the ligand leads to a recruitment of the cytoplasmic adapter protein FADD, which in turn activates caspase 8 (Mariani et al, 1997;Walczak et al, 1997).…”

“…To test whether the TRAIL‐induced death of VOT‐33 cells occurred via activation of the TRAIL‐DR5 pathway, we pretreated VOT‐33 cells with OPG that binds TRAIL and prevents TRAIL from binding DR5 (Emery et al ., 1998). TRAIL‐MG132 treatment activated caspase 8, a crucial downstream molecule for TRAIL signal transduction (Crowder and El‐Deiry, 2012), as shown by the presence of cleaved caspase 8 in Western blot (Fig.…”

“…In addition, OPG was found to interact with another member of the TNF family of cytokines: TNF‐related apoptosis‐inducing ligand (TRAIL). By binding TRAIL, OPG prevents TRAIL from interacting with its receptor and thereby exerts its anti‐apoptosis function (Emery et al ., 1998). These studies have prompted us to explore physiological and pathological roles of TRAIL in the inner ear.…”

“…Inhibition of the RANK/RANKL pathway results in less osteoclast differentiation as well as reduced activation and survival of mature osteoclasts 2, 3. TNF‐related apoptosis‐inducing ligand, a protein that belongs to the TNF superfamily as well, also serves as an osteoprotegerin ligand 4. Osteoprotegerin thereby contributes to maintaining the balance between bone resorption and bone formation 2, 5…”
