    The receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL) produced by bone marrow stromal/osteoblast cells is a crucial regulator of osteoclastgenesis and bone resorption. Osteoblastic cells have been demonstrated to express alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor stimulation induces the expression of RANKL gene via protein kinase C (PKC) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathways in osteoblastic cells. DESIGN: The steady-state mRNA levels of RANKL and activation of ERK in mouse MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells were analyzed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS: In three alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor subtype mRNAs, alpha(1b)- and alpha(1d)-subtypes were expressed in MC3T3-E1 cells. The mRNA levels of RANKL were increased by phenylephrine (alpha(1)-agonist) in time- and dose-dependent manners. Prazosin (alpha(1)-antagonist) suppressed the phenylephrine-induced RANKL mRNA expression, but yohimbine (alpha(2)-antagonist) and propranolol (beta-antagonist) did not. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, PKC activator) increased RANKL mRNA expression and GF109203X (PKC inhibitor) suppressed the phenylephrine-induced RANKL mRNA expression. Both phenylephrine and PMA stimulated the phosphorylation of ERK, while both prazosin and GF109203X inhibited phenylephrine-induced ERK activation. Pretreatment with PD98059 (ERK kinase inhibitor) inhibited both the phosphorylation of ERK and the expression of RANKL gene induced by phenylephrine in MC3T3-E1 cells. CONCLUSION: These results show that alpha(1b)- and alpha(1d)-adrenergic receptor subtype genes are expressed and the expression of RANKL mRNA may be regulated by alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor stimulation in osteoblastic cells. The induction of RANKL mRNA by activating the alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor is probably mediated via PKC and ERK signalling pathways in osteoblastic cells.
