To investigate the suppressive function of RO4929097, a potent -secretase inhibitor, on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. The cytotoxicity of RO4929097 was evaluated. The suppressive effect and possible molecular mechanism of RO4929097 on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis was evaluated both in vitro and in vivo . The IC50 of RO4929097 was 2.93 μM. Treatment with different doses of RO4929097 (100 nM, 200 nM, and 400 nM) effectively reduced osteoclast formation (number and resorption area) in a dose-dependent manner. The qPCR results revealed that RO4929097 attenuates RANKL-induced osteoclast formation and NFATc1 protein expression. The in vivo experiments demonstrated that RO4929097 had an inhibitory effect on LPS-induced bone resorption. Our in vitro experiments showed that RO4929097 can potently inhibit osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption by down-regulating the Notch/MAPK/JNK/Akt-mediated reduction of NFATc1. In accordance with these in vitro observations, RO4929097 attenuated LPS-induced osteolysis in mice. In conclusion, our findings indicate that Notch may represent a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of osteolytic diseases.
