PG - 1619-27 LID - 10.1002/jcp.22879 [doi] AB - Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is associated with various inflammatory diseases involving bone loss, and is expressed along with its receptor by bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM), which are osteoclast (OC) precursors. To investigate the role of MCP-1 in bone remodeling, we compared MCP-1-knockout (KO) mice with wild-type (WT) mice. The absence of MCP-1 increased bone mass and lowered serum collagen type I fragments (CTX-1) and TRACP 5b, but had no significant effect on the N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen, suggesting that OCs are primarily responsible for the bone phenotype observed in the absence of MCP-1. MCP-1 deficiency resulted in reduced numbers and activity of OCs in vitro. It also led to a reduced level of c-Fms and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB receptor and impaired actin ring formation. Activation of ERK, Akt, Rac1, and Rho upon M-CSF stimulation was also reduced and our evidence suggests that the aberrant actin ring formation was partly due to reduced activation of these molecules. Our findings point to a role of osteoclast MCP-1 in regulating bone remodeling. The higher bone mass in the femurs of MCP-1-KO mice could be, at least in part, due to decreased osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption resulting from aberrant M-CSF signaling in OCs.
