Recently, several plexins and semaphorins have been associated with osteoclastogenesis, a vital process for bone remodeling. Plexin-A2 is implicated in bone homeostasis, however, whether it plays a role in osteoclastogenesis and the underlying mechanism remain unknown. We show that plexin-A2 expression is upregulated during RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. In addition, the soluble Sema6A fused with IgG1 Fc region (Fc-Sema6A) interacts with plexin-A2 from cell lysates of osteoclasts, suggesting that plexin-A2 acts as a receptor of Sema6A in osteoclasts. Moreover, Sema6A treatment stimulates RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis, and this effect is abolished when plexin-A2 is neutralized, which illustrates an indispensable role of plexin-A2 in mediating Sema6A effect on osteoclastogenesis. Mechanistically, Sema6A-plexin-A2 axis enhances RANKL-induced activation of PLCγ as well as downstream target NFATc1, one master transcriptional factor of osteoclastogenesis. Lastly, inhibition of PLCγ by pharmacological inhibitor U73122 abrogates Sema6A-stimulated NFATc1 activation and RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis, thus demonstrating that the PLCγ-mediated NFATc1 activation accounts for the promotive role of Sema6A-plexin-A2 axis in RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. Taken together, this study uncovers a novel role of Sema6A and plexin-A2 in osteoclastogenesis, and also offers them as possible therapeutic targets in the intervention of osteolytic diseases.
