To improve the inhibitory potency of lead compound NDMC101 on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis, a series of new 5-(2',4'-difluorophenyl)-salicylanilide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for osteoclast inhibition by using TRAP-staining assay. Among them, both of compounds 6d and 6i showed three-fold increase in osteoclast-inhibitory activities compared to NDMC101 at half-inhibitory concentration. Further, the mechanistic study showed that 6d and 6i could suppress RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis-related genes, such as NFATc1, c-fos, TRAP, and cathepsin K. Their inhibitory activities were further confirmed by including specific inhibition of NF-κB and NFATc1 expression levels in nucleus. In addition, 6d and 6i also could significantly attenuate bone-resorbing activity of osteoclasts by performing pit formation assay. Thus, a new class of 5-(2',4'-difluorophenyl)-salicylanilide derivatives may be considered as essential lead structures for the further development of anti-resorptive agents.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint swelling, pain, and bone remodeling. We previously reported that autotaxin (ATX) deficiency disrupts lipid rafts in macrophages. Lipid raft disruption results in the dysregulation of RANK signaling, which is crucial for osteoclastogenesis and the pathogenesis of RA.

Peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1), an intracellular antioxidant enzyme, has emerged as a regulator of inflammatory responses via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling. Despite this, the mechanistic details of the PRDX1-TLR4 axis and its impact on osteoclast differentiation remain elusive. Here, we show that PRDX1 suppresses RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation.

Background: Bone remodeling is a critical process that maintains skeletal integrity, orchestrated by the balanced activities of osteoclasts, which resorb bone, and osteoblasts, which form bone. Osteoclastogenesis, the formation of osteoclasts, is primarily driven by NFATc1, a process activated through c-Fos and NF-κB signaling pathways in response to receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL). Dysregulation of RANKL signaling is a key contributor to pathological bone loss, as seen in conditions such as osteoporosis.

Macrophages play a pivotal role in regulating inflammatory response in periodontitis, a condition characterized by excessive osteoclast differentiation. This study aimed to investigate whether exosomes derived from M2 macrophages regulate osteoclast differentiation and to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms. Exosomes were isolated from M2 macrophages and used to treat osteoclasts.

Microbial metabolites provide numerous benefits to the human body but can also contribute to diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, and bone disorders. However, the role of imidazole propionate (ImP), a histidine-derived metabolite produced by the intestinal microbiome, in bone metabolism and the development of osteoporosis is still poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the role of ImP and its underlying mechanisms in regulating bone homeostasis.
