Bone mass is maintained through the complementary activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts; yet differentiation of either osteoblasts and osteoclasts engages the mitogen-activated protein kinase (WAPK) pathway. The MAPKs are negatively regulated by a family of dual-specificity phosphatases known as the MAPK phosphatases (MKPs). MKP-1 is a stress-responsive MKP that inactivates the MAPKs and plays a central role in macrophages; however, whether MKP-1 plays a role in the maintenance of bone mass has yet to be investigated. We show here, using a genetic approach, that mkp-1(-/-) female mice exhibited slightly reduced bone mass. We found that mkp-1(+/+) and mkp-1(-/-) mice had equivalent levels of bone loss after ovariectomy despite mkp-1(-/-) mice having fewer osteoclasts, suggesting that mkp-1(-/-) osteoclasts are hyperactive. indeed, deletion of MKP1 led to a profound activation of osteoclasts; in vivo in response to local lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. These results suggest a role for MKP-1 in osteoclasts, which originate from the fusion of macrophages. in support of these observations, receptor activator for nuclear factor-kappa B ligand induced the expression for MKP-1, and osteoclasts derived from mkp-1(-/-) mice had increased resorptive activity. Finally, receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand-induced p38 MAPK and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase activities were enhanced in osteoclasts; derived from mkp-1(-/-) mice. Taken together, these results show that MKP-1 plays a role in the maintenance of bone mass and does so by negatively regulating MAPK-dependent osteoclast signaling.
