چکیده

Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory disease of the bone that is characterized by the presence of necrotic bone tissue and increased osteoclast activity. Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for approximately 80% of all cases of human osteomyelitis. While the disease is especially difficult to treat, the pathogenesis of S. aureus-induced osteomyelitis is poorly understood. Elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which S. aureus induces osteomyelitis could lead to a better understanding of the disease and its progression and development of new treatments. Osteoblasts can produce several soluble factors that serve to modulate the activity or formation of osteoclasts. Receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANK-L) and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) are two such molecules which can promote osteoclastogenesis and stimulate bone resorption. In addition, previous studies in our laboratory have shown that osteoblasts produce inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin 6, following infection with S. aureus, which could induce COX-2 and in turn PGE(2), further modulating osteoclast recruitment and differentiation. Therefore, we hypothesized that following infection with S. aureus, osteoblasts will express increased levels of RANK-L and PGE(2). The results presented in this study provide evidence for the first time that RANK-L mRNA and protein and PGE(2) expression are upregulated in S. aureus-infected primary osteoblasts. In addition, through the use of the specific COX-2 inhibitor NS 398, we show that when PGE(2) production is inhibited, RANK-L production is decreased. These data suggest a mechanism whereby osteoblasts regulate the production of RANK-L during infection.

alpha-Lipoic acid inhibits inflammatory bone resorption by suppressing prostaglandin E2 synthesis.

alpha-Lipoic acid (LA) has been intensely investigated as a therapeutic agent for several pathological conditions, including diabetic polyneuropathy. In the present study, we examined the effects of LA on osteoclastic bone loss associated with inflammation. LA significantly inhibited IL-1-induced osteoclast formation in cocultures of mouse osteoblasts and bone marrow cells, but LA had only a ma...

Suppression of osteoprotegerin expression by prostaglandin E2 is crucially involved in lipopolysaccharide-induced osteoclast formation.

LPS is a potent stimulator of bone resorption in inflammatory diseases. The mechanism by which LPS induces osteoclastogenesis was studied in cocultures of mouse osteoblasts and bone marrow cells. LPS stimulated osteoclast formation and PGE(2) production in cocultures of mouse osteoblasts and bone marrow cells, and the stimulation was completely inhibited by NS398, a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor. ...

Receptor activator of NF-kappaB (RANK) ligand induces ectodomain shedding of RANK in murine RAW264.7 macrophages.

Osteoclastogenesis is a highly sophisticated process that involves a variety of membrane-bound proteins expressed in osteoblasts and osteoclast precursors. Over the past several years, proteolytic cleavage and release of the ectodomain of membrane-bound proteins, also referred to as ectodomain shedding, has emerged as an important posttranslational regulatory mechanism for modifying the functio...

Toll-Like Receptor 2 Stimulation of Osteoblasts Mediates Staphylococcus Aureus Induced Bone Resorption and Osteoclastogenesis through Enhanced RANKL

Severe Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections pose an immense threat to population health and constitute a great burden for the health care worldwide. Inter alia, S. aureus septic arthritis is a disease with high mortality and morbidity caused by destruction of the infected joints and systemic bone loss, osteoporosis. Toll-Like receptors (TLRs) are innate immune cell receptors recognizing...

Transcriptional induction of cyclooxygenase-2 in osteoclast precursors is involved in RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis.

Regulation of osteoclast differentiation is key to understanding the pathogenesis and to developing treatments for bone diseases such as osteoporosis. To gain insight into the mechanism of the receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB ligand (RANKL)-specific induction of the osteoclast differentiation program, we took a suppression-subtractive hybridization screening approach to identify...
