In this study, TSG was found to inhibit OCs differentiation and bone resorption by reducing ROS production and mitochondrial function. Additionally, TSG increased ROS scavenging enzymes by inhibiting Nrf2 degradation and thereby reducing RANKL-induced oxidative stress.
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) play an essential role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis mainly characterized by excessive osteoclasts (OCs) activity. OCs are rich in mitochondria for energy support, which is a major source of total ROS. Tussilagone (TSG), a natural Sesquiterpenes from the flower of Tussilago farfara, has plentiful bene-ficial pharmacological characteristics with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activity, but its effects and mechanism in osteopathology are still unclear. In our study, we investigated the regulation of ROS generated from the mitochondria in OCs. We found that TSG inhibited OCs differentiation and bone resorption without any cytotoxicity. Mechanistically, TSG reduced RANKL-mediated total ROS level by down-regulating intracellular ROS production and mitochondrial function, leading to the suppression of NFATc1 transcription. We also found that nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) could enhance ROS scavenging enzymes in response to RANKL-induced oxidative stress. Furthermore, TSG up-regulated the expression of Nrf2 by inhibiting its pro-teosomal degradation. Interestingly, Nrf2 deficiency reversed the suppressive effect of TSG on mitochondrial activity and ROS signaling in OCs. Consistent with this finding, TSG attenuated post-ovariectomy (OVX)-and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced bone loss by ameliorating osteoclastogenesis. Taken together, TSG has an anti-bone resorptive effect by modulating mitochondrial function and ROS production involved Nrf2 activation.
