We previously reported that cyclic compressive force (CCF) induced interleukin-6 mRNA expression in osteocyte-like MLO-Y4 cells. But little is known about how the stimuli are converted into the biochemical signals in MLO-Y4 cells. The aim of this research was to study the effect of CCF on the IL-6 secretion and the role of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) in this process. The cells were exposed to CCF with different magnitudes (1000, 2000 and 4000μstrain), frequencies (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0Hz) and durations (10min, 30min, 1h, 3h and 6h) by a four-point bending system. The IL-6 secretion and ERK1/2 phosphorylation of the cells were determined by ELISA and Western blotting, respectively. The results showed that IL-6 protein secretion was significantly up-regulated in response to CCF in a magnitude-, frequency- and duration-dependent fashion. The phosphorylation of ERK1/2 also increased in all cases but not depended on the magnitude, frequency or duration of CCF. Furthermore, the inhibition of the ERK1/2 pathway by its specific inhibitor PD098059 decreased but not completely abrogated the IL-6 secretion from stressed MLO-Y4 cells. These findings demonstrate that CCF-induced IL-6 secretion occurs via a mechanism that involves ERK1/2 signaling pathway and suggest that modulation of this event contributes to the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and stress-induced pathological bone resorption as well.
