Bone homeostasis can be compromised by an increase in osteoclast-mediated resorption and/or a decrease in osteoblast-mediated bone deposition. While many efforts have focused on treating osteoclast resorption, there has been less emphasis on identifying strategies for promoting osteoblast function. Herein, we describe a high-throughput screening assay to select for small molecules that augment bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)-mediated osteoblast lineage commitment. After an initial screen of 5405 compounds; consisting of FDA-approved drugs, known bioactives, and compounds with novel chemical makeup, we identified 45 small molecules that promoted osteoblast commitment. Of the 45 candidates, there was a broad array of classes that included nine retinoid analogs/derivatives and four immunosuppressants, notably rapamycin and FK-506, which were chosen for further study. Treatment of osteoblast precursor cells with rapamycin or FK-506, either alone, or synergistically with BMP-2, increased levels of phospho-Smad1/5/8 protein and transcription of Runx-2, Osx and Smad-7, consistent with a role in promoting osteoblast differentiation. Only FK-506 was able to enhance osteocalcin transcripts and alizarin red staining, both late markers for differentiation. When osteoblast differentiation was suppressed with exogenous TGF-β1 treatment, rapamycin (but not FK-506) was able to rescue expression of differentiation markers, indicating distinct but overlapping activity of these compounds. Collectively, these data add to an understanding of pathways engaged in osteoblastogenesis, support a role for non-redundant immunosuppressant signaling, and provide a novel approach for the discovery of potentially therapeutic compounds that affect bone remodeling.
