Receptor activator of NF-kB Ligand (RANKL) is an essential requirement for osteoclastogenesis and its activity is neutralized by binding to the soluble decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG). The purpose of this work was to study the effects of RANKL and OPG during osteoclastogenesis using the murine monocytic cell line RAW 264.7 that can differentiate into osteoclasts in vitro. RAW 264.7 cells plated at 10(4) cells/cm(2) and cultured for 4 days in the presence of RANKL represent the optimal culture conditions for osteoclast differentiation, with an up-regulation of all parameters related to bone resorption: tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), calcitonin receptor (CTR), RANK, cathepsin K, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 mRNA expressions. RANKL and OPG biological effects vary according to the differentiation state of the cells: in undifferentiated RAW 264.7 cells, TRAP expression was decreased by OPG and RANKL, RANK expression was inhibited by OPG, while MMP-9 and cathepsin K mRNA expressions were not modulated. In differentiated RAW 264.7 cells, RANKL and OPG both exert an overall inhibitory effect on the expression of all the parameters studied. In these experimental conditions, OPG-induced MMP-9 inhibition was abrogated in the presence of a blocking anti-RANKL antibody, suggesting that part of OPG effects are RANKL-dependent.
