Inhibition effects of a natural inhibitor on RANKL downstream cellular signalling cascades cross-talking.

Inhibition effects of a natural inhibitor on RANKL downstream cellular signalling cascades cross-talking. J Cell Mol Med. 2018 Jun 17;: Authors: Wang B, Hao D, Zhang Z, Gao W, Pan H, Xiao Y, He B, Kong L Abstract Myricitrin is a natural occurring flavonoid glycoside that possesses effects on inhibiting nitric oxide (NO) transmission and preventing inflammatory reaction. Although previous study showed the myricitrin possesses antibone loss effects via reducing the expression of IL-6 and partially suppressing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. However, the effects of myricitrin on nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL)-stimulated osteoclastogenesis have not yet been further investigated. The current study was aimed to demonstrating the inhibitory effects of myricitrin on RANKL-stimulated osteoclastogenesis and relevant mechanisms. We found myricitrin significantly suppressed osteoclastogenesis suggesting that it may acts on RANKL/RANK induced downstream signal cross cascading in osteoclast precursors. In that, our Western blotting results showed myricitrin significantly attenuated RNAKL/MAPKs (phosphorylation of p38, ERK, JNK) and AKT signal cascading. Complementing previous study, our results suggesting as a natural inhibitor, myricitrin possesses the potential therapeutic effects on inflammatory osteolysis.
