Hispolon (HISP) is a bioactive compound isolated from Phellinu linteus. It has various pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer. However, its anti-osteoclastogenic activity has not yet been reported. Hence, in the current study, we have explored the anti-osteoclastogenic activity of HISP and elucidated the molecular mechanisms. HISP inhibited the RANKL induced differentiation of RAW 264.7 cells into osteoclasts in a dose-dependent manner. Mechanistic studies showed that HISP inhibited RANKL-mediated activation of NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways in osteoclast precursors RAW 264.7 cells. In addition, Hispolon also downregulated the expression of master transcriptional factors essential for osteoclast differentiation, such as NFATc1 and c-FOS. In conclusion, these findings establish molecular mechanisms behind the anti-osteoclastogenic activity of HISP.

Background: Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process which relies on the dynamic equilibrium between osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoblastic bone formation. During osteoclast differentiation, pro-osteoclastogenic and anti-osteoclastogenic genes are selectively targeted by positive and negative transcription regulators, respectively. VprBP, also known as DCAF1, is a recently identified kinase and plays an important role in driving epigenetic gene silencing and oncogenic transformation.

In this study, a phytochemical investigation on the methanol extract of Potentilla chinensis led to the isolation of eleven triterpenoids including ursolic acid (1), pomolic acid (2), tormentic acid (3), 2-epi-corosolic acid (4), 3-epi-corosolic acid (ECA, 5), 3β-hydroxyurs-11-en-13β(28)-olide (6), euscaphic acid (7), 2-epi-tormentic acid (8), corosolic acid (9), uvaol (10), and 3-O-acetylpomolic acid (11). Among them, ECA (5) showed potential anti-osteoclastogenic activity. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first isolation of ECA (5) from P.

Rheumatoid arthritis causes excessive bone loss by stimulating osteoclast differentiation. Extracellular vesicles are valuable disease markers, conveyors of distant cell-to-cell communication, and carriers for drug delivery. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-osteoclastogenic effects of extracellular vesicles derived from dairy Propionibacterium freudenreichii MJ2 (PFEVs) and the improvement effect of PFEVs on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) animal model.

Article Synopsis
- * The study involved creating three types of PEGylated acacetin to improve its solubility and anti-inflammatory properties, with PEG-Acacetin showing the most promise by significantly boosting plasma levels and demonstrating increased anti-inflammatory effects.
- * In tests on mice, PEG-Acacetin effectively reduced bone loss caused by both lipopolysaccharide and ovariectomy, outperforming naked acacetin and suggesting it could be a strong candidate for osteoporosis treatment.
