The study demonstrates that moderate running can significantly improve trabecular bone in mice tibias by increasing the number of osteoblasts and activating signaling pathways such as CCL2, contributing to enhanced bone formation.
It has been known that moderate mechanical loading, like that caused by exercise, promotes bone formation. However, its underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here we showed that moderate running dramatically improved trabecular bone in mice tibias with an increase in bone volume fraction and trabecular number and a decrease in trabecular pattern factor. Results of immunohistochemical and histochemical staining revealed that moderate running mainly increased the number of osteoblasts but had no effect on osteoclasts. In addition, we observed a dramatic increase in the number of colony forming unit-fibroblast in endosteal bone marrow and the percentage of CD45(-)Leptin receptor(+) (CD45(-)LepR(+)) endosteal mesenchymal progenitors. Bioinformatics analysis of the transcriptional data from gene expression omnibus (GEO) database identified chemokine c-c-motif ligands (CCL2) as a critical candidate induced by mechanical loading. Interestingly, we found that CCL2 was up-regulated mainly in osteoblastic cells in the tibia of mice after moderate running. Further, we found that mechanical loading up-regulated the expression of CCL2 by activating ERK1/2 pathway, thereby stimulating migration of endosteal progenitors. Finally, neutralizing CCL2 abolished the recruitment of endosteal progenitors and the increased bone formation in mice after 4 weeks running. These results therefore uncover an unknown connection between osteoblasts and endosteal progenitors recruited in the increased bone formation induced by mechanical loading.
