PG - 2432-2443 LID - 10.1002/jbmr.4142 [doi] AB - Cellular bioenergetics is a promising new therapeutic target in aging, cancer, and diabetes because these pathologies are characterized by a shift from oxidative to glycolytic metabolism. We have previously reported such glycolytic shift in aged bone as a major contributor to bone loss in mice. We and others also showed the importance of oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) for osteoblast differentiation. It is therefore reasonable to propose that stimulation of OxPhos will have bone anabolic effect. One strategy widely used in cancer research to stimulate OxPhos is inhibition of glycolysis. In this work, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pharmacological inhibition of glycolysis to stimulate OxPhos and promote osteoblast bone-forming function and bone anabolism. We tested a range of glycolytic inhibitors including 2-deoxyglucose, dichloroacetate, 3-bromopyruvate, and oxamate. Of all the studied inhibitors, only a lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) inhibitor, oxamate, did not show any toxicity in either undifferentiated osteoprogenitors or osteoinduced cells in vitro. Oxamate stimulated both OxPhos and osteoblast differentiation in osteoprogenitors. In vivo, oxamate improved bone mineral density, cortical bone architecture, and bone biomechanical strength in both young and aged C57BL/6J male mice. Oxamate also increased bone formation by osteoblasts without affecting bone resorption. In sum, our work provided a proof of concept for the use of anti-glycolytic strategies in bone and identified a small molecule LDH inhibitor, oxamate, as a safe and efficient bone anabolic agent.
