Zusammenfassung:To investigate the effect of mechanical stress on periostin and semaphorin-3A expression in a murine model of postmenopausal osteoporosis and in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. Female mice were divided into three groups and treated with a sham operation, ovariectomy (OVX) or OVX plus treadmill training (OVX+Run). After 10 weeks, tibias were used for histological analysis. MC3T3-E1 cells were burdened by mechanical stress using a centrifuge or were treated with periostin, and the production of biologically-active semaphorin-3A was examined in vitro. In OVX+Run group tibias, the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteoclasts was lower than in the OVX group, and the expression of periostin and semaphorin-3A was higher. In MC3T3-E1 cells, centrifugal stress significantly increased periostin and semaphorin-3A mRNA expression. Treatment with periostin increased the semaphorin-3A level. We speculate that mechanical load may increase periostin production in osteoblasts, and periostin may inhibit osteoclast differentiation by its effects on semaphorin-3A. Our results support the concept of a positive correlation between exercise and inhibition of osteoclasts in post-menopausal osteoporosis.
