| Research Abstract |
We have performed three experiments to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which alveolar bone remodeling induced by orthodontic force. The role of prostaglandin E2 (PGE_2) in osteoclastic bone resorption was carefully examined in this program.
Exp. 1 : PGE_2 synergistically enhances RANKL-induced osteoclastic differentiation of the precursor cells. We investigated the mechanisms of the stimulatory effect of PGE_2 on osteoclast differentiation. The stimulatory effect of PGE_2 on the RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation of the precursor cells was mediated through EP2 and EP4. TAK1 acted as an adapter molecule linking PKA-induced signals and RANKL-and TNFα-induced such signals in osteoclast precursors. Furthermore, TAK1 is involved in the synergistic effect of cAMP/PKA signals on TNF receptor-and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-induced signaling pathways. The cAMP/PKA signal may enhance bone resorption induced by RANKL and TNFα through TAK1 in osteoclast precursors.

has been shown to directly inhibit bone-resorbing activity of osteoclasts. We explored the mechanism of PGE_2 action in the osteoclastic differentiation of precursor cells. The stimulatory effect of PGE_2 on the RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation of the precursor cells was mediated through EP2 and EP4. TAK1 acted as an adapter molecule linking PKA-induced signals and RANKL-and TNFα-induced such signals in osteoclast precursors. Furthermore, TAK1 is involved in the synergistic effect of cAMP/PKA signals on TNF receptor-and Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4)-induced signaling pathways. The cAMP/PKA signal may enhance bone resorption induced by RANKL and TNFα through TAK1 in osteoclast precursors.
Exp. 3 : We explored the role of PGE_2 in human osteoclast differentiation in more detail. Unlike mouse macrophage cultures, PGE_2 strongly inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast formation in human CD14^+ cell cultures. Human osteoclast progenitors produced a soluble unidentified factor(s) in response to PGE_2, which strongly inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast formation in not only human CD14^+ cell cultures but also mouse macrophage cultures. These results suggest that COX-2 inhibitors may not be suitable therapeutic agents to suppress osteoclastic bone resorption in inflammatory bone diseases. Less
