Introduction: Osteocytes modulate bone adaptation in response to mechanical stimuli imparted by the deforming bone tissue in which they are encased by communicating with osteoclasts and osteoblasts as well as other osteocytes in the lacuna-canalicular network through secreted cytokines and chemokines. Understanding the transcriptional response of osteocytes to mechanical stimulation in situ could identify new targets to inhibit bone loss or enhance bone formation in the presence of diseases like osteoporosis or metastatic cancer. We compared the mechanically regulated transcriptional response of osteocytes in trabecular bone following one or three days of controlled mechanical loading.

Methods: Porcine trabecular bone explants were cultured in a bioreactor for 48 h and subsequently loaded twice a day for one day or 3 days. RNA was isolated and sequenced, and the Tuxedo suite was used to identify differentially expressed genes and pathway analysis was conducted using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA).

Results: There were about 4000 differentially expressed genes following in situ culture relative to fresh bone. One hundred six genes were differentially expressed between the loaded and non-loaded groups following one day of loading compared to 913 genes after 3 d of loading. Only 45 of these were coincident between the two time points, indicating an evolving transcriptome. Clustering and principal component analysis indicated differences between the loaded and non-loaded groups after 3 d of loading.

Discussion: With sustained loading, there was a nine-fold increase in the number of differentially expressed genes, suggesting that osteocytes respond to loading through sequential activation of downstream genes in the same pathways. The differentially expressed genes were related to osteoarthritis, osteocyte, and chondrocyte signaling pathways. We noted that NFkB and TNF signaling are affected by early loading and this may drive downstream effects on the mechanobiological response. Moreover, these genes may regulate catabolic effects of mechanical disuse through their actions on pre-osteoclasts in the bone marrow niche.
