d-mannose attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced osteolysis via CPT1A-Mediated lipid metabolic regulation in macrophages

Inflammatory osteolysis is usually linked to the activation of proinflammatory macrophage and the consequent excessive osteoclast formation. Emerging evidence indicates that agents or drugs targeting lipid metabolism in macrophages might be potential in the prevention and treatment of osteolysis. d-mannose, as a natural-existed metabolic regulator, exerts strong effects on attenuating osteopenia and inflammation. However, whether d-mannose is therapeutically effective on osteolysis and whether a metabolic mechanism counts for the effect remain to be addressed. Here, by using an in vivo lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory osteolysis mouse model as well as an in vitro LPS-induced inflammatory macrophage culture system, we show that d-mannose attenuates inflammatory osteolysis and inhibits excessive osteoclastogenesis by reversing the LPS-induced activation of proinflammatory macrophage. Mechanically, d-mannose recovers LPS-suppressed Cpt1a transcription and promotes lipid metabolism of macrophage. Treatment with etomoxir, an inhibitor of CPT1A, abolishes the effects of d-mannose on LPS-treated macrophage in vitro and eliminates its protection against osteolysis in vivo. Collectively, our results imply that d-mannose attenuates LPS-induced osteolysis by manipulating CPT1A-mediated lipid metabolism in macrophages. Our results disclose the unrecognized utilization of d-mannose as an effective intervention against inflammatory osteolysis and provide evidence to manage inflammatory scenarios by therapeutically targeting lipid metabolism in macrophage.
