1 The Pathogenesis of Bone Erosions in RA FULL VERSION 1
2 Key Learning Objectives Understand the role of osteoclasts in normal bone remodeling Comprehend the key processes in pathologic osteoclast functions Discuss the pathogenesis of bone erosion in RA before and after clinical onset Evaluate the mechanism of ACPA-induced osteoclastogenesis in RA ACPA = anti-citrullinated protein antibody; RA = rheumatoid arthritis. 2
3 OSTEOCLAST BIOLOGY IN HEALTH AND DISEASE 3
4 Bone Formation and Resorption Are Closely Coupled Processes Bone formation Osteoblasts make bone by producing a matrix that then becomes mineralized Bone mass is maintained by a balance between the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts Bone resorption Osteoclasts break down bone and are responsible for bone resorption Osteoblasts Osteoclasts New bone Bone Adapted from Logothetis CJ, Lin SH. Nat Rev Cancer. 2005;5:
5 Osteoclast Formation Is Triggered by CSF-1, RANKL, and OPG Monocyte Macrophage CSF-1R CSF-1 Osteoclast precursor RANKL RANK TRAP Cathepsin K MMP-9 OPG Osteoblast Osteoclast Sealing Zone Ruffled border The RANKL-RANK-OPG axis is crucial to physiologic osteoclast differentiation Osteoclast expression of bone-degrading enzymes, TRAP, cathepsin K and MMP-9, regulates the bone resorption process CSF-1 = macrophage colony-stimulating factor 1; CSF-1R = CSF-1 receptor; MMP-9 = matrix metalloproteinase 9; OPG = osteoprotegerin; RANK = receptor activator of nuclear factor κb; RANKL = RANK ligand; TRAP = tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase.
