The role of nitric oxide in the mechanical repression of RANKL in bone stromal cells

Abstract: Both mechanical loading and nitric oxide (NO) have positive influences on bone mass. NO production is induced by mechanical strain via upregulation of eNOS mRNA and protein, the predominant NOS in adult bone. At the same time, strain causes decreased expression of RANKL, a factor critical for osteoclastogenesis. In this study, we harvested primary stromal cells from wildtype (WT) and eNOS (−/−) mice to test whether induction of NO by mechanical strain was necessary for transducing mechanical inhibition of RANK… Show more

“…Furthermore, in addition to an in vivo experimental system including transgenic mice, many studies have indicated the effect of mechanical stress on the bone's adaptive remodeling behavior in osteocytes (22), osteoblasts (23) and in a co-culture between osteoblasts and osteoclasts (24). Several studies have shown that nitric oxide (NO) acts as a mediator of mechanically induced bone remodeling (10,25,26). However, the direct effect of mechanical stress on the behavior of osteoclasts (27) has only been investigated in a few studies and there is limited information on the effects of the release from mechanical stress, which thus became the focus of the present study.…”

“…It has been shown to be a mitogen for MSC and, furthermore, the simultaneous treatment of OGP and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) results in a three-fold stimulatory effect as compared to OGP alone on MSC (Guido et al, 2002). It has been well documented that the stimulation of MSC to differentiate into osteoblasts is characterized mainly by increased expression of ALP and BGP (Rahnert et al, 2008). Chen et al have found that OGP promotes osteogenesis and inhibits adipogenesis as evidenced by a decrease in adipocyte numbers and an increase in ALP activity and mineralized nodule numbers.…”
