Caffeic acid 3,4-dihydroxy-phenethyl ester suppresses receptor activator of NF-κB ligand–induced osteoclastogenesis and prevents ovariectomy-induced bone loss through inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinase/activator protein 1 and Ca2+–nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 1 signaling pathways

Abstract

Caffeic acid 3,4-dihydroxy-phenethyl ester (CADPE) suppressed RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation in mouse cells.

  • CADPE inhibited osteoclast differentiation and actin-ring formation in mouse bone marrow monocytes and RAW264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
  • No effect of CADPE was observed on macrophage colony-stimulating factor-induced proliferation and differentiation.
  • CADPE reduced RANKL-induced phosphorylation of key signaling proteins involved in osteoclastogenesis, including ERK1/2, p38, and JNK.
  • Inhibition of nuclear translocation and activation of c-Fos by CADPE was noted, with overexpression of c-Fos counteracting CADPE's inhibitory effects.
  • CADPE also blocked RANKL-induced interactions and signaling downstream of TRAF6 and prevented Ca2+ oscillations.
  • In vivo, CADPE prevented bone loss in ovariectomized mice by inhibiting osteoclast activity.
