A2B adenosine receptor (A2BAR) is known to be a regulator of bone homeostasis, but the regulatory mechanism of A2BAR on the osteoclast proliferation are poorly explored. Recently, we have shown that stimulation with BAY 60-6583, a specific agonist of A2BAR, significantly reduced macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF)-induced osteoclast proliferation by inducing cell cycle arrest at G1 phase and increasing the apoptosis of osteoclasts. The objective of this study was to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of cell cycle and apoptosis by A2BAR stimulation. The expression of A2BAR and M-CSF receptor, c-Fms, was not changed by A2BAR stimulation whereas M-CSF effectively induced c-Fms expression during osteoclast proliferation. Interestingly, A2BAR stimulation remarkably increased the expression of p27, a cell cycle inhibitor, but the expression of Cyclin D1 and cdk4 was not affected. In addition, while BAY 60-6583 treatment reduced the expression of Bcl2, an anti-apoptotic oncogene, it failed to regulate the expression of Bax, a pro-apoptotic marker. Taken together, these results imply that the increase of p27 inducing cell cycle arrest at G1 phase and the decrease of Bcl2 inducing anti-apoptotic response by A2BAR stimulation contribute to the downregulation of osteoclast proliferation.
