Abstract
Introduction
Bone metabolism imbalances cause bone metabolism diseases, like osteoporosis, through aging. Although some chemokines are known to be involved in bone mass regulation, many have not been investigated. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the role of chemokine ligand 28 (CCL28) on bone metabolism.
Materials and methods
To investigate the role of CCL28 on bone metabolism, 10-week-old male wild-type and Ccl28 knockout (Ccl28 KO) mice were analyzed. Microcomputed tomography analysis and bone tissue morphometry were used to investigate the effect of Ccl28 deficiency on the bone. CCL28 localization in bone tissue was assumed by immunohistochemistry. Osteoblast and osteoclast markers were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Finally, in vitro experiments using MC3T3-E1 and bone marrow macrophages revealed the direct effect of CCL28 on osteoblast and osteoclast.
Results
This study showed that Ccl28 deficiency significantly increased bone mass and the number of mature osteoblasts. Immunoreactivity for CCL28 was observed in osteoblasts and osteoclasts on bone tissue. Additionally, Ccl28 deficiency promoted osteoblast and osteoclast maturation. Moreover, CCL28 treatment decreased osteoblast and osteoclast activities but did not affect differentiation.
Conclusion
In summary, this study indicated that CCL28 is one of the negative regulators of bone mass by suppressing osteoblast and osteoclast activities. These results provide important insights into bone immunology and the selection of new osteoporosis treatments.
