TL;DR: CUME significantly and dose-dependently diminished the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)-induced formation of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclasts and has potential for prevention of osteoporosis.
Abstract: Ingestion of Citrus unshiu Markovich (CUM) has been widely used as an alternative therapy for thousands years in Korean traditional medicine. Both anti-osteoclastic actions of CUM extracts (CUME) and the possibility for development as a healthy food product were investigated. CUME significantly (p<0.05) and dose-dependently diminished the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)-induced formation of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclasts. At the molecular level, CUME interrupted osteoclastogenesis based on selective stimulation of ERK and Akt activation. CUME caused down-regulation of osteoclast-specific marker gene expression derived from impairment of c-Fos and nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1) activation. Treatment with CUME caused localization failure of filamentous actin (F-actin) rings during cellularization and, subsequently, mature osteoclasts suffered malfunction of osteolytic activity. CUME has potential for prevention of osteoporosis.

01 Oct 2012TL;DR: It is suggested that the inhibition effect of LIPUS on osteoclasts is through the reduction of RANKL induced expression of cathepsin K and MMP9 for modulating bone remodeling process.
Abstract: The healing of bone fracture with low-intensity pulsed uItrasound (LIPUS) associated with bone formation by osteoblasts has been validated in previous studies. Yet, littIe has been known about the effect of LIPUS on the osteoclasts during the bone remodeling process. To extensively explore this issue, osteoblast precursor cells were insonified by LIPUS in which that the insonification effect was verified by differentiation and other activities of cells. Experiments were performed on the osteoclast precursor cells formed by the differentiation of RAW 264.7 cell line via cuItured the cells in the growth medium containing receptor-activated nuclear factor K B ligand (RANKL) for 3 days. The 1 MHz LIPUS, with calibrated 125 mW/cm2 SATA intensity, 20% duty cycle of a 1 kHz pulse repetition frequency, was arranged to daily insonify the osteoclast precursor cells in the period between the 3rd and 6th day during cuIturing. The morphology and number of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) positive multi-nucleated osteoclasts were observed and measured. Gene expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor K B (RANK), cathepsine K, matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), and TRAP were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Following the LIPUS insonification, the bone resorptive activity of osteoclast precursor cells tended to be inhibited. The number of TRAP positive multi-nucleated osteoclasts for the experimental group was lower than that of the control group. The resorption pits on the calcium phosphate film also found to be inhibited by LIPUS insonification, where the pit formation of the experimental group was smaller than that of the control group. RT-PCR resuIts reveled that LIPUS decreased the mRNA levels of RANK, TRAP, cathepsin K, and MMP9 mRNA. The LIPUS insonification suppress osteoclast differentiation by the inhibition of multi-nucleated osteoclast formation be demonstrated in this study. These resuIts suggest that the inhibition effect of LIPUS on osteoclasts is through the reduction of RANKL induced expression of cathepsin K and MMP9 for modulating bone remodeling process.

TL;DR: Novel methods to isolate osteoclasts (OC s) and generate osteoclast-like cells (OCL s) from the bone and bone marrow of the equine femur are reported and the validity of using OCL s as a method for studying OC differentiation and activity is confirmed.
