PG - 18075-18085 LID - 10.1002/jcp.28440 [doi] AB - Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a pluripotent signaling molecule. The biological effect of TNF-alpha includes slowing down osteogenic differentiation, which can lead to bone dysplasia in long-term inflammatory microenvironments. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)-interacting protein 1 (StIP1, also known as elongator complex protein 2, ELP2) play a role in inhibiting TNF-alpha-induced osteoblast differentiation. In the present study, we investigated whether and how ELP2 activation mediates the effects of TNF-alpha on osteoblastic differentiation. Using in vitro cell cultures of preosteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, we found that TNF-alpha inhibited osteoblastic differentiation accompanied by an increase in ELP2 expression and STAT3 activation. Forced ELP2 expression inhibited osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells, with a decrease in the expression of osteoblast marker genes, alkaline phosphatase activity, and matrix mineralization capacity. In contrast, ELP2 silencing ameliorated osteogenic differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells, even after TNF-alpha stimulation. The TNF-alpha-induced inhibitory effect on osteoblastic differentiation was therefore mediated by ELP2, which was associated with Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/STAT3 activation. These results suggest that ELP2 is upregulated at the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells into osteoblasts and inhibits osteogenic differentiation in response to TNF-alpha through STAT3 activation.
