项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Osteoporosis, a disease characterized by the systemic loss of bone mass and strength resulting in fragility fractures, is rapidly poised to become a major public health threat in the United States. Osteoporosis results from imbalances in bone remodeling, a process characterized by osteoblast-mediated bone synthesis and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Because osteoporosis is fairly asymptomatic, and is often detected only after the patient has sustained significant bone erosion, therapies aimed at restoring the eroded bone are equally important as those that target bone resorption. However, unlike the highly efficient repertoire of anti- resorptive drugs that form the mainstay of the current anti-osteoporosis therapy, drugs that stimulate bone formation remain largely underdeveloped. Hence there is a critical need for novel therapeutic targets that will stimulate osteoblast-mediated bone accrual together with the inhibition of osteoclastic bone resorption. Our preliminary studies identify Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) as one such target as its inhibition positively impacts anabolic pathways and negatively impacts catabolic pathways of bone remodeling. Mice null for CaMKK2 possess enhanced trabecular bone mass in their long bones, along with significantly higher numbers of osteoblasts and fewer multinuclear osteoclasts. Moreover, its inhibition offers protection from ovariectomy-induced and age-associated osteoporosis in mice. The proposed studies will enable us to define the precise mechanism by which CaMKK2 regulates osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation and devise potential strategies of its inhibition in the treatment of osteoporosis. Development of CaMKK2 inhibition as a new generation therapeutic target that promotes robust bone mass accrual while inhibiting resorption will represent a major breakthrough in anti-osteoporosis treatment.

描述（由申请人提供）：骨质疏松症是一种以骨量和骨强度的系统性损失导致脆性骨折为特征的疾病，它正迅速成为美国的主要公共卫生威胁。骨质疏松症是由骨重塑失衡引起的，骨重塑过程的特点是成骨细胞介导的骨合成和破骨细胞介导的骨吸收。由于骨质疏松症相当无症状，并且通常只有在患者持续显着的骨侵蚀后才被发现，因此旨在恢复侵蚀骨的治疗与针对骨吸收的治疗同样重要。然而，与构成当前抗骨质疏松症治疗支柱的高效抗再吸收药物不同，刺激骨形成的药物在很大程度上仍然不发达。因此，迫切需要新的治疗靶点来刺激成骨细胞介导的骨生成并抑制破骨细胞的骨吸收。我们的初步研究确定 Ca2+/钙调蛋白 (CaM) 依赖性蛋白激酶激酶 2 (CaMKK2) 是这样的靶标之一，因为它的抑制会对骨重塑的合成代谢途径产生积极影响，并对骨重塑的分解代谢途径产生负面影响。 CaMKK2缺失的小鼠的长骨中骨小梁质量增强，成骨细胞数量显着增加，多核破骨细胞数量显着减少。此外，它的抑制作用可以防止小鼠因卵巢切除引起的和与年龄相关的骨质疏松症。拟议的研究将使我们能够确定 CaMKK2 调节成骨细胞和破骨细胞分化的精确机制，并设计出抑制其治疗骨质疏松症的潜在策略。 CaMKK2 抑制作为新一代治疗靶点的开发，可促进骨量的强劲增长，同时抑制骨吸收，这将代表抗骨质疏松治疗的重大突破。
