Popis: | Recent studies have reported that activin A enhances osteoclastogenesis in cultures of mouse bone marrow cells stimulated with receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). However, the exact mechanisms by which activin A functions during osteoclastogenesis are not clear. RANKL stimulation of RANK/TRAF6 signaling increases nuclear factor-kappaB (NFkappaB) nuclear translocation and activates the Akt/PKB cell survival pathway. Here we report that activin A alone activates IkappaB-alpha, and stimulates nuclear translocation of NFkappaB and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB (RANK) expression for osteoclastogenesis, but not Akt/PKB survival signal transduction including BAD and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) for survival in osteoclast precursors in vitro. Activin A alone failed to activate Akt, BAD, and mTOR by immunoblotting, and it also failed to prevent apoptosis in osteoclast precursors. While activin A activated IkappaB-alpha and induced nuclear translocation of phosphorylated-NFkappaB, and it also enhanced RANK expression in osteoclast precursors. Moreover, activin A enhanced RANKL- and M-CSF-stimulated nuclear translocation of NFkappaB. Our data suggest that activin A enhances osteoclastogenesis treated with RANKL and M-CSF via stimulation of RANK, thereby increasing the RANKL stimulation. Activin A alone activated the NFkappaB pathway, but not survival in osteoclast precursors in vitro, but it is, thus, insufficient as a sole stimulus to osteoclastogenesis. |
