- Abstract
The occurrence of osteoporosis gradually increases within the aging population. As the side effects of therapeutic agents currently used for osteoporosis are increasing, the development of preventive and therapeutic agents derived from natural products without any long-term side effects is important. Here, we investigated the effect of wheat seedling extract (WSE) on the RANKL-mediated differentiation, fusion, and function of osteoclasts. WSE inhibited the differentiation of RANKL-induced bone marrow macrophages and phosphorylation of AKT and ERK. Moreover, the protein and mRNA expression levels of c-Fos and NFATc1 as well as RANKL-induced transcription of TRAP and OSCAR were suppressed by WSE treatment. DC-STAMP and cathepsin K, which are essential for cell fusion and bone degradation, were also inhibited by WSE. Furthermore, eight components constituting WSE were confirmed to decrease the osteoclast TRAP activity. Taken together, WSE may have potential implications as a useful therapeutic or preventive agent for inhibition of bone loss.
