The molecular mechanisms underlying bone destruction by invading oral cancer are not well understood. Using IHC, we demonstrated that receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)–positive fibroblasts and cancer cells were located at sites of bone invasion in human oral cancers. HSC3 and HO-1-N-1, human oral cancer cell lines, expressed RANKL and stimulated Rankl expression in the UAMS-32 murine osteoblastic cell line. We discriminated the roles of RANKL synthesized by stromal cells and cancer cells in cancer-associated bone resorption by using species-specific RANKL antibodies against murine RANKL and human RANKL, respectively. Osteoclastogenesis induced by the conditioned medium of HSC3 and HO-1-N-1 cells in a co-culture of murine bone marrow cells and UAMS-32 cells was inhibited by the addition of antibodies against either mouse or human RANKL. HSC3-induced bone destruction was greatly inhibited by the administration of anti-mouse RANKL antibody in a xenograft model. HO-1-N-1–induced bone destruction was inhibited by the administration of either anti-mouse or anti-human RANKL antibody. Bone destruction induced by the transplantation of humanRANKL-overexpressing cells (HSC3-R2) was greatly inhibited by the injection of anti-human RANKL antibody. The present study revealed that RANKL produced by both stromal and cancer cells is involved in oral cancer–induced osteoclastic bone resorption. These results provide important information for understanding the cellular and molecular basis of cancer-associated bone destruction and the mechanism of action underlying RANKL antibody (denosumab) therapy.
