Abstract

Bone mechanotransduction is vital for skeletal integrity. Osteocytes are thought to be the cellular structures that sense physical forces and transform these signals into a biological response. The Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway has been identified as one of the signaling pathways that is activated in response to mechanical loading, but the molecular events that lead to an activation of this pathway in osteocytes are not well understood. We assessed whether nitric oxide, focal adhesion kinase, and/or the phosphatidyl inositol-3 kinase/Akt signaling pathway mediate loading-induced beta-catenin pathway activation in MLO-Y4 osteocytes. We found that mechanical stimulation by pulsating fluid flow (PFF, 0.7+/-0.3 Pa, 5 Hz) for 30 min induced beta-catenin stabilization and activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. The PFF-induced stabilization of beta-catenin and activation of the beta-catenin signaling pathway was abolished by adding focal kinase inhibitor FAK inhibitor-14 (50 microM), or phosphatidyl inositol-3 kinase inhibitor LY-294002 (50 microM). Addition of nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NAME (1.0mM) also abolished PFF-induced stabilization of beta-catenin. This suggests that mechanical loading activates the...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
