Dauricine (DAC), an isoquinoline alkaloid, exhibits anti-inflammatory activity. We hypothesized that DAC may prevent the inflammatory bone loss induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS-induced bone loss was decreased by DAC in female C57BL/6J mice as evaluated by micro-computerized tomography (μCT) analysis. In vivo tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining showed that the increased number of osteoclasts (OCs) in LPS-treated mice was attenuated by DAC, indicating that DAC exhibited bone sparing effects through acting on OCs. DAC also decreased the differentiation and activity of OCs after LPS stimulation in vitro. LPS-induced cytosolic reactive oxygen species (cROS) oxidized PP2A, a serine/threonine phosphatase, leading to the activation of IKKα/β, followed by the nuclear localization of p65. DAC decreased LPS-induced ROS, resulting in the recovery of the activity of PP2A by reducing its oxidized form. Consequently, DAC reduced the phosphorylation of IKKα/β to block the nuclear localization of p65, which decreased NF-κB activation. Taken together, DAC reduced the differentiation and activity of OCs by decreasing ROS via the ROS/PP2A/NF-κB axis, resulting in protection from LPS-induced bone loss. We have demonstrated that LPS-induced bone loss was inhibited by DAC via its action on OCs, implying the therapeutic potential of DAC against inflammatory bone loss.
