Osteoclast differentiation requires TAK1 and MKK6 for NFATc1 induction and NF-kappaB transactivation by RANKL.
Osteoclast (Oc) differentiation is fundamentally controlled by receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL). RANKL signalling targets include mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB), and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)c1. In this study, we found that p38 MAPK upstream components transforming growth factor-beta-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), MKK3, and MKK6 increased by RANKL in an early stage of osteoclastogenesis from primary bone marrow cells, which led to enhanced p38 activation. Retroviral transduction of dominant-negative (DN) forms of TAK1 and MKK6, but not that of MKK3, reduced Oc differentiation. Transduction of TAK1-DN and MKK6-DN and treatment with the p38 inhibitor SB203580 attenuated NFATc1 induction by RANKL. TAK1-DN, MKK6-DN, and SB203580, but not MKK3-DN, also suppressed RANKL stimulation of NF-kappaB transcription activity in a manner dependent on p65 phosphorylation on Ser-536. These results indicate that TAK1 and MKK6 constitute the p38 signalling pathway to participate to Oc differentiation by RANKL through p65 phosphorylation and NFATc1 induction, and that MKK6 and MKK3 have differential roles in osteoclastogenesis from bone marrow precursors.H Huang, J Ryu, J Ha, E-J Chang, H J Kim, H-M Kim, T Kitamura, Z H Lee, H-H Kim

Regulation of p38 MAPK by MAPK kinases 3 and 6 in fibroblast-like synoviocytes.
The p38 MAPK signal transduction pathway is a key regulator of IL-1 and TNF-alpha production in rheumatoid arthritis. Previous studies demonstrated that upstream MAPK kinases (MKK3 and MKK6) that regulate p38 are activated in rheumatoid arthritis synovium. However, their functional relevance in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) has not been determined. To investigate the relative contribution of MKK3 and MKK6 to p38 activation, the effect of dominant-negative (DN) MKK3 and MKK6 constructs on cultured FLS was evaluated. Cultured FLS were stimulated with medium or IL-1beta, and immunoblotting was performed. In some experiments, cells were lysed and immunoprecipitated with anti-p38 Ab, followed by in vitro kinase assay with [gamma-(32)P]ATP and GST-activating transcription factor-2 as substrate. IL-1beta rapidly induced p38 phosphorylation in cells transfected with empty vector (pcDNA3.1), but was inhibited by 25% in cells expressing DN MKK3 or DN MKK6. Cotransfection with both DN plasmids decreased phospho-p38 by almost 75%. In vitro kinase assays on IL-1-stimulated FLS also showed that the combination of DN MKK3 and DN MKK6 markedly decreased kinase activity compared with empty vector or the individual DN plasmids. Furthermore, IL-1beta-induced IL-8, IL-6, and matrix metalloproteinase-3 protein production was significantly inhibited in DN MKK3/DN MKK6-transfected cells. The constructs had no effect on the respective mediator mRNA levels. These data demonstrate that MKK3 and MKK6 make individual contributions to p38 activation in FLS after cytokine stimulation, but that both must be blocked for maximum inhibition.Tomoyuki Inoue, Deepa Hammaker, David L Boyle, Gary S Firestein
