The study reveals the importance of ATG4/LC3 in osteoclast maturation and bone resorption. By using a specific inhibitor of ATG4B, NSC185058 (NSC), osteoclastogenesis and maturation can be inhibited, leading to a decrease in alveolar bone resorption in a periodontitis model.
Autophagy is a non-selective action in which cells degrade parts of themselves, reusing degraded cellular components. Among autophagy-related gene (ATG) family members, ATG4 proteins play crucial roles in the microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) system which is essential for autophagosome maturation. Although autophagy has been shown to be involved in oste-oclastic bone resorption, the role of ATG4/LC3 in bone resorption remains unclear. When mouse bone marrow cells were treated with various concentrations of NSC185058 (NSC), a specific inhibitor of ATG4B, 1 h prior to treatment with receptor activator of NF -KB ligand (RANKL) in the presence of macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), NSC inhibited osteoclastogenesis in a dose-dependent manner. Addition of NSC in the late stages of osteoclast differentiation suppressed multinucleation and reduced the expression of markers for mature osteoclasts such as Dc-stamp, Mmp9, and Ctsk. NSC also suppressed actin ring formation and pit formation in mature osteoclasts. When a periodontitis model involving eight-week-old male mice in which the right maxillary second molar had been ligated with silk thread was injected with or without NSC, alveolar bone resorption was suppressed by a decrease in the number of osteoclasts in the NSC-treated group. These results suggest that LC3 is important for the maturation of osteoclasts and that LC3 inhibition is a new therapeutic strategy for periodontal disease.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
