PG - 297-308 LID - 10.1007/s00210-010-0596-4 [doi] AB - Bisphosphonates have been known to directly inhibit bone resorption and promote apoptosis in mature osteoclasts. Although bisphosphonates have been recognized as the most effective drugs to treat osteoporosis and bone cancer metastasis, the exact effects and mechanism(s) of bisphosphonates on osteoclastogenesis are unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify whether nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates affect recruitment and differentiation in osteoclasts. We examined the effects of zoledronic acid on receptor activator of NF-kappaB (RANK) expression and cell migration during osteoclastogenesis in two types of osteoclast precursors, RAW264.7 cells and Bone marrow cells (BMCs). Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and RANK ligand (RANKL) upregulated RANK expression in RAW264.7 and BMCs in the presence of macrophage colony stimulating factor in a time-dependent manner. Zoledronic acid (30 and 50 muM) had no effect on cell viability in osteoclast precursors after 36 h of cultivation. Zoledronic acid (10 and 30 muM) strongly inhibited TNF-alpha- and RANKL-induced upregulation of RANK in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory effects on RANK expression were likely to be associated with the suppression of the NF-kappaB pathway, but not other downstream signaling pathways. Zoledronic acid (30 muM) also suppressed the TNF-alpha- and RANKL-induced migration of precursors by inhibiting the mevalonic acid pathway. Our results suggest that nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates not only inhibit mature osteoclasts but also prevent osteoclast precursors from differentiating and migrating towards inflammatory osteolysis lesions.
