Two histone deacetylase inhibitors, trichostatin A and sodium butyrate, suppress differentiation into osteoclasts but not into macrophages.
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are emerging as a new class of anticancer therapeutic agents and have been demonstrated to induce differentiation in some myeloid leukemia cell lines. In this study, we show that HDAC inhibitors have a novel action on osteoclast differentiation. The effect of 2 HDAC inhibitors, trichostatin A (TSA) and sodium butyrate (NaB), on osteoclastogenesis was investigated using rat and mouse bone marrow cultures and a murine macrophage cell line RAW264. Both TSA and NaB inhibited the formation of preosteoclast-like cells (POCs) and multinucleated osteoclast-like cells (MNCs) in rat bone marrow culture. By reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis, TSA reduced osteoclast-specific mRNA expression of cathepsin K and calcitonin receptor (CTR). In contrast, TSA and NaB did not affect the formation of bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) induced by macrophage colony-stimulating factor as examined by nonspecific esterase staining. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis showed that TSA did not affect the surface expression of macrophage markers for CD11b and F4/80 of BMMs. TSA and NaB also inhibited osteoclast formation and osteoclast-specific mRNA expression in RAW264 cells stimulated with receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) ligand (RANKL). Transient transfection assay revealed that TSA and NaB dose dependently reduced the sRANKL-stimulated or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)- stimulated transactivation of NF-kappa B-dependent reporter genes. The treatment of RAW264 cells with TSA and NaB inhibited TNF-alpha- induced nuclear translocation of NF-kappa B and sRANKL- induced activation of p38 mitogen- activated protein kinase ( MAPK) signals. These data suggest that both TSA and NaB exert their inhibitory effects by modulating osteoclast-specific signals and that HDAC activity regulates the process of osteoclastogenesis.[1]References
