Abstract:

Human osteoclast formation from mononuclear phagocyte precursors involves interactions between members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand superfamily and their receptors. Recent evidence indicated that TNF-α-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) induces osteoclast differentiation via a TRAF6-dependent signaling pathway; but paradoxically, it inhibits RANK ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation. Although a number of signaling pathways were linked to the RANK and osteoclastogenesis, it is not known how TRAIL regulates RANK signaling. In this study, we demonstrate that TRAIL regulates RANK-induced osteoclastogenesis in terms of the assembly of lipid raft-associated signaling complexes. RANKL stimulation induced recruitment of TRAF6, c-Src, and DAP-12 into lipid rafts. However, the RANKL-induced assembly of lipid raft-associated signaling complexes and TRAF6 recruitment was abolished in the presence of TRAIL. TRAIL-induced dissociation of RANKL-induced lipid raft signaling complexes was reversed by treatment with TRAIL receptor (TRAIL-R) siRNA or an anti-TRAIL-R blocking antibody, indicating that TRAIL mediates suppression of RANKL-induced lipid raft signaling via interactions with TRAIL-R. Finally, we demonstrated that TRAIL suppressed inflammation-induced bone resorption and osteoclastogenesis in a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat animal model. Our results provide a novel apoptosis-independent role of TRAIL in regulating RANK signaling and suppresses osteoclast activation via inhibiting lipid raft assembly and TRAF6 recruitment.
