BackgroundAdenosine is a purine nucleoside involved in regulating bone homeostasis through binding to A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 adenosine receptors (A1R, A2AR, A2BR, and A3R, respectively). However, the underlying mechanisms by which adenosine and receptor subtypes regulate osteoclast differentiation remain uncertain. This study aims to assess the role of exogenous adenosine and receptor subtypes in receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast formation and explore the underlying molecular mechanisms.Methods and resultsThe nanofibrous mats incorporated with adenosine exhibited robust ability to facilitate rat critical-size calvarial defect healing with decreased number of osteoclasts. Moreover, exogenous adenosine substantially enhanced the expression of A2AR and suppressed tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteoclast formation and expression of osteoclast-related genes Ctsk, NFATc1, MMP9, and ACP5. This enhancement and suppression could be reversed by adding an A2AR antagonist, ZM241385, in RAW264.7 cells. Finally, RNA sequencing showed that the expression of Fos-related antigen 2 (Fra2) was distinctly downregulated through stimulation of adenosine in RAW264.7 cells treated with RANKL. This downregulation was reversed by ZM241385 according to real-time PCR, Western blot, and immunofluorescence analyses.ConclusionsThese findings demonstrated that exogenous adenosine binding to A2AR attenuated osteoclast differentiation via the inhibition of activating protein-1 (AP-1, including Fra2 subunit) pathway both in vitro and in vivo.
