Background and PurposeOsteoclasts play a pivotal role in diseases such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and tumour bone metastasis. Thus, searching for natural compounds that may suppress osteoclast formation and/or function is promising for the treatment of osteoclast-related diseases. Here, we examined changes in osteoclastogenesis and LPS-induced osteolysis in response to andrographolide (AP), a diterpenoid lactone isolated from the traditional Chinese and Indian medicinal plant Andrographis paniculata.Experimental ApproachEffects of AP on osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption were measured in vitro. Western blots and RT-PCR techniques were used to examine the underlying molecular mechanisms. The bone protective activity of APin vivo was assessed in a mouse model of osteolysis.Key ResultsAP concentration-dependently suppressed RANKL-mediated osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption in vitro and reduced the expression of osteoclast-specific markers, including tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, calcitonin receptors and cathepsin K. Further molecular analysis revealed that AP impaired RANKL-induced NF-B signalling by inhibiting the phosphorylation of TGF--activated kinase 1, suppressing the phosphorylation and degradation of IB, and subsequently preventing the nuclear translocation of the NF-B p65 subunit. AP also inhibited the ERK/MAPK signalling pathway without affecting p38 or JNK signalling.Conclusions and ImplicationsAP suppressed RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis through attenuating NF-B and ERK/MAPK signalling pathways in vitro, thus preventing bone loss in vivo. These data indicated that AP is a promising natural compound for the treatment of osteoclast-related bone diseases.
