There is currently great interest in the bone metabolism induced by the sympathetic nerve system. Recently, direct neurite-osteoblastic cell communication was demonstrated using an in vitro co-culture model comprising neurite-sprouting murine superior cervical ganglia and MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells. In the present study, we examined whether the direct nerve-osteoclastic cell communication was present in an in vitro co-culture model comprising cultured murine superior cervical ganglia and mouse osteoclast-like cells. RAW264.7 cells treated with receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand were used as osteoclast-like cells. We found that the addition of scorpion venom (SV) elicited neurite activation via intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization and, after a lag period, osteoclastic Ca(2+) mobilization in the co-culture. SV did not have any direct effect on the osteoclastic cells in the absence of the neurites. The addition of an alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor (AR) antagonist, prazosin, concentration-dependently prevented the osteoclastic activation that resulted as a consequence of neural activation by SV. We also found that alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor agonists evoked transient Ca(2+) mobilization and gene expression of interleukin-6 in osteoclastic cells. These results demonstrate that osteoclastic activation occurs via alpha(1)-AR in osteoclastic cells as a direct response to neuronal activation.
