  • [Purpose] The OPG/RANK/RANKL signaling is a new family of bone metabolism biomarkers belonging to the immune system. However, the bone metabolism response to long-term exercise in the RANKL/RANK/OPG signaling is less evident. The purpose of this study was to examine these biomarkers in healthy college females after 12-weeks combined exercise intervention. [Methods] Participants (N=22, 22.4±1.3yrs) were randomly divided in two different group: 12 in the control group and 10 in the exercise group performing combined exercise program that interventions was conducted 3 times per week for 12 weeks. The outcome measures included serum concentrations of RANKL, OPG and bone metabolic cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6, and mRNA expressions of same variables from PBMC. VO2max and bone mineral density (BMD) were measured at before and after exercise intervention. [Results] There were no significant differences in the serum RANKL, OPG concentrations and all RANKL/RANK/OPG signaling mRNA expression on interaction effect between group and time (NS). Also no significant differences were found in the serum TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations and mRNA expression (NS). The IL-6 mRNA expression only showed significant difference in the main effect of groups (p<.05). There were also no significant differences in the VO2max and BMD on interaction effect between group and time (NS). [Conclusion] These results suggested that there were no effects on bone mineral density and RANKL/RANK/OPG signaling without the effect of 8-weeks combined exercise on cardiovascular endurance fitness.

  • Purpose: Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a secreted glycoprotein and a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor family that inhibits bone resorption by suppressing osteoclastogenesis. Gingival fibroblasts (GF) play a role in periodontal disease progression, and the purpose of this experiment was to evaluate influence of osteotropic factors on the expression of osteoprotegerin mRNA in these cells. Materials and Methods: In this experiment, the influence of osteoclastogenic factors, interleukin-1 beta (IL-$1{\beta}$), TNF-$\alpha$, prostanglandin E2 ($PEG_2$). parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1$\alpha$, 25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3$ on the expression of osteoprotegerin mRNA in GF was studied by Northern blot hybridization. Results: As expected, $PEG_2$ tended to inhibit OPG levels and this was most prominent at 24 hours of culture with $10^{-7}M$ of $PEG_2$. TNF-$\alpha$ at 10ng/ml and also at 25ng/ml decreased OPG levels to almost 30% of the control at 24 hours. This contrasts with reports of increased OPG levels from osteoblast/stromal cells and gingival fibroblasts stimulated by TNF-$\alpha$. Decrease of OPG levels with $PEG_2$ and TNF-$\alpha$ suggests a pathway whereby these mediators exert their resorptive effects. However, OPG levels were increased almost 3-fold at 24 hours with IL-1$\beta$(1 to 15ng/ml) and increased 1.4 fold with 24-hour treatment of $10^{-7}M$ PTH. Conclusion: Increase of OPG levels suggests that these 'osteoclastogenic' factors act in more complex ways and may act to inhibit bone resorption in inflammatory periodontitis. This result supports the role of OPG as a negative feedback mechanism in osteoclastic activity.

  • Osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of NF-${\kappa}B$ ligand (RANKL)/receptor activator of NF-${\kappa}B$ (RANK) axis, and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) participate in vascular calcification process including atherosclerosis, but their contributions under high glucose (HG) and phosphate (HP) condition for a long-term period (more than 2 weeks) have not been fully determined. In this study, we evaluated the effects of HG and HP levels over 2 or 4 weeks on the progression of vascular calcification in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Calcium deposition in VSMCs was increased in medium containing HG (30 mmol/L D-glucose) with ${\beta}$-glycerophosphate (${\beta}$-GP, 12 mmol/L) after 2 weeks and increased further after 4 weeks. OPG mRNA and protein expressions were unchanged in HG group with or without ${\beta}$-GP after 2 weeks. However, after 4 weeks, OPG mRNA and protein expressions were significantly lower in HG group with ${\beta}$-GP. No significant expression changes were observed in RANKL, RANK, or TRAIL during the experiment. After 4 weeks of treatment in HG group containing ${\beta}$-GP and rhBMP-7, an inhibitor of vascular calcification, OPG expressions were maintained. Furthermore, mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), a marker of vascular mineralization, was lower in the presence of rhBMP-7. These results suggest that low OPG levels after long term HG and phosphate stimulation might reduce the binding of OPG to RANKL and TRAIL, and these changes could increase osteo-inductive VSMC differentiation, especially vascular mineralization reflected by increased ALP activity during vascular calcification.

  • Recently, soluble TNF receptor homolog osteoprotegerin(OPG) and its membrane-bound ligand osteoclast differentiation factor(ODF) were found to regulate osteoclast formation and function, and bone metabolism. It is now well established that ODF acts via RANK expressed on hematopoietic osteoclast precursor cells to facilitate their differentiation to osteoclasts, and OPG prevents the formation of osteoclasts by interfering the binding of ODF and RANK. Expression of OPG and ODF was believed to be closely related to the pathogenesis of bone resorption and destruction from osteoporosis, periodontal diseases, malignant bone tumor, and arthritis. The periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLF), located between the tooth and tooth socket, has been thought to play an important role in maintaining bone homeostasis of periodontal tissues. However, the exact mechanism by which bone formation and resorption are regulated by PDLF is not well understood. In this study we have prepared primary cultures of human PDLF from periodontium of malaligned tooth extracted due to orthodontic reason, and determined steady state or inflammatory signal-induced OPG and ODF expression using RT-PCR and western blot analysis. OPG and ODF mRNA and protein were expressed constitutively in the PDLF and these expression were slightly increased by osteotropic cytokine IL-1 ${\beta}$. Lipopolysaccharide-treated PDLF showed decrease in OPG mRNA and protein expression, and increase in ODF mRNA and protein expression. These results indicated that PDLF influence the osteoclastogenesis by OPG and ODF expression in the inflammatory situation as well as physiological condition, and thereby pathogenesis of periodontal alveolar bone destruction.

  • Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease that is characterized by low bone mass resulting from an increase in bone resorption relative to bone formation. The most current therapies for osteoporosis have focused on inhibiting bone resorption by osteoclasts. The purpose of this study is to develop new anabolic agents for treatment of osteoporosis that have fewer risks compared to conventional therapies. We searched the natural products that were derived from the traditional Asian medicines which have been used for treatment of bone related diseases. Icaritin is a flavonoid glycoside derived from the herb Epimedium which has beneficial effects on bone formation. To determine the effect of icaritin on bone formation, we examined the effect of icaritin on MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation and differentiation. For determining the effects of icaritin on proliferation, we performed the MTT assay using MC3T3-E1 cells. To evaluate whether icaritin could promote the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mRNA expressions of Runx2, osteocalcin (OCN), RANKL, and osteoprotegerin (OPG) were determined. Icaritin increased MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation. Icaritin increased the ALP activity of MC3T3-E1 cells on 72 hour culture in osteogenic media. mRNA expression of Runx2 was increased after 24 hour culture with icaritin. mRNA expression of osteocalcin was increased after 72 hour culture with icaritin. In addition, icaritin increased the mRNA expressions of OPG and RANKL. However, icaritin increased the mRNA expression of OPG much more than that of RANKL, and then, it increased the OPG/RANKL ratio. These results suggest that icaritin promotes osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts and decreases osteoclast formation regulated by osteoblasts.

  • Bone remodeling is a process controlled by the action of two major bone cells; the bone forming osteoblast and the bone resorbing osteoclast. In the process of osteoclastogenesis, stromal cells and osteoblast produce RANKL, OPG, and M-CSF, which in turn regulate the osteoclastogenesis. During the bone resorption by activated osteoclasts, extracellular $Ca^{2+}/{PO_4}^{2-}$ concentration and degraded organic materials goes up, providing the hypertonic microenvironment. In this study, we tested the effects of hypertonicity due to the degraded organic materials on osteoclastogenesis in co-culture system. It was examined the cellular response of osteoblastic cell in terms of osteoclastogenesis by applying the sucrose, and mannitol, as a substitute of degraded organic materials to co-culture system. Apart from the sucrose, mannitol, and NaCl was tested to be compared to the effect of organic osmotic particles. The addition of sucrose and mannitol (25, 50, 100, 150, or 200 mM) to co-culture medium inhibited the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) positive multinucleated cells induced by 10 nM $1{\alpha},25(OH)_2vitaminD_3$ ($1{\alpha},25(OH)_2D_3$). However, NaCl did exert harmful effect upon the cells in this co-culture system, which is attributed to DNA damage in high concentration of NaCl. To further investigate the mechanism by which hypertonicity inhibits $1{\alpha},25(OH)_2D_3$-induced osteoclastogenesis, the mRNA expressions of receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-kB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) were monitored by RT-PCR. In the presence of sucrose (50 mM), RANKL mRNA expression was decreased in a dose-dependent manner, while the change in OPG and M-CSF mRNA were not occurred in significantly. The RANKL mRNA expression was inhibited for 48 hours in the presence of sucrose (50 mM), but such a decrement recovered after 72 hours. However, there were no considerable changes in the expression of OPG and M-CSF mRNA. Conclusively, these findings strongly suggest that hypertonic stress down-regulates $1{\alpha},25(OH)_2D_3$-induced osteoclastogenesis via RANKL signal pathway in osteoblastic cell, and may playa pivotal role as a regulator that modulates osteoclastogenesis.

  • Osteoblast or bone marrow stromal cell-derived RANKL is the major effector molecule essential for osteoclastogenesis. Previous studies have shown that tetracyclines have beneficial therapeutic effects in the prevention and treatment of inflammatory bone disease including periodontal disease. Periodontal ligament cells are thought not only to play an important role in the progression of periodontal disease, but to play an important role in alveolar bone remodeling. Previous studies indicated that receptor activation of nuclear factor $\kappa\;B$ ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) are expressed in periodontal ligament cells by pro-inflammatory cytokine, such as $IL-1{\beta}$ and $TNF-{\alpha}$. This study was designed to investigate the inhibitory effect of doxycycline on RANKL and OPG mRNA in rat periodontal ligament cells induced by $IL-1{\beta}$ (1 ng/ml). The results are as follows; 1. MTT assay showed that doxycycline at the concentration of $1-50\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ didn't result in statistically significant cell death at day 1 and 3. 2. RANKL mRNA expression was increased to 2.6 folds by $IL-1{\beta}$. When cells were treated with doxycycline ($50{\mu}g/m{\ell}$), $IL-1{\beta}$ -induced mRANKL expression was reduced by 33%. In contrast to RANKL, OPG mRNA expression was not inhibited by pre-treatment with doxycycline. These results suggest that doxycycline decrease the expression of mRANKL resulting in regulation of osteoclastogenesisp in rat periodontal ligament cells.

  • Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a secreted glycoprotein that regulates bone resorption by inhibiting differentiation and activation of osteoclast, thereby potentially useful for the treatment of many bone diseases associated with increased bone loss. In this study, we designed a novel cDNA expression cassette by modifying the potent and mammary gland-specific goat ${\beta}$-casein/hGH hybrid gene construct and examined human OPG (hOPG) cDNA expression in transgenic mice. Six transgenic mice all successfully expressed hOPG in their milk at the level of 0.06-2,000 ${\mu}g/ml$. An estimated molecular weight of the milk hOPG was 55 kDa in SDS-PAGE, which is the same as a naturally glycosylated monomer. This hOPG expression was highly specific to the mammary glands of transgenic mice. hOPG mRNA was not detected in any organs analyzed except mammary gland. Functional integrity of milk hOPG was evaluated by TRAP (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) activity assay in bone marrow cell cultures. OPG ligand (OPG-L) treatment increased TRAP activity by two fold but it was completely abolished by co-treatment with transgenic milk containing hOPG. Taken together, our novel cDNA expression cassette could direct an efficient expression of biologically active hOPG, a potential candidate pharmaceutical for bone diseases, only in the mammary gland of transgenic mice.
