Insulin receptor substrates (IRS-1 and IRS-2) are essential for intracellular signaling by insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), anabolic regulators of bone metabolism. Although mice lacking the IRS-2 gene (IRS-2-/- mice) developed normally, they exhibited osteopenia with decreased bone formation and increased bone resorption. Cultured IRS-2-/- osteoblasts showed reduced differentiation and matrix synthesis compared with wild-type osteoblasts. However, they showed increased receptor activator of nuclear factor B ligand (RANKL) expression and osteoclastogenesis in the coculture with bone marrow cells, which were restored by reintroduction of IRS-2 using an adenovirus vector. Although IRS-2 was expressed and phosphorylated by insulin and IGF-I in both osteoblasts and osteoclastic cells, cultures in the absence of osteoblasts revealed that intrinsic IRS-2 signaling in osteoclastic cells was not important for their differentiation, function, or survival. It is concluded that IRS-2 deficiency in osteoblasts causes osteopenia through impaired anabolic function and enhanced supporting ability of osteoclastogenesis. We propose that IRS-2 is needed to maintain the predominance of bone formation over bone resorption, whereas IRS-1 maintains bone turnover, as we previously reported; the integration of these two signalings causes a potent bone anabolic action by insulin and IGF-I.

5 w9 Q) J5 E" T6 A, z; f& WBone is continually being remodelled according to physiological circumstances through bone formation by osteoblasts and resorption by osteoclasts. These two processes are closely coupled, and bone mass is maintained without change by their balance in healthy adults. A rupture of the balance causing a predominance of bone resorption over bone formation results in bone loss such as that seen in osteoporosis. Among many systemic and local factors involved in the regulation of bone metabolism, insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I)* are known to play important anabolic roles (Canalis, 1993; Thomas et al., 1997). Patients with insulin deficiency as exemplified by type 1 diabetes are associated with osteoporosis (Krakauer et al., 1997; Piepkorn et al., 1997); those with Laron syndrome caused by IGF-I deficiency also exhibit this condition (Laron et al., 1999). A reduction in IGF-I is also implicated as an important factor in the etiology of involutional osteoporosis, especially of age-related bone loss (Nicolas et al., 1994; Rosen, 1994; Reed et al., 1995; Canalis, 1997). However, the cellular and molecular mechanism underlying bone loss due to the deficiency of insulin and IGF-I signalings has not yet been clarified.

Insulin and IGF-I initiate cellular responses by binding to distinct cell surface receptor tyrosine kinases that regulate a variety of signaling pathways controlling metabolism, growth, and survival. Insulin receptor substrates (IRSs) are essential substrates of both of the receptor tyrosine kinases, which integrate the pleiotropic effects of insulin, IGF-I, and other cytokines on cellular function (Kadowaki et al., 1996; White, 1998; Burks and White, 2001). The mammalian IRS family contains at least four members, ubiquitous IRS-1 and IRS-2, adipose tissue-predominant IRS-3 (Lavan et al., 1997b), and IRS-4, which is expressed in thymus, brain, and kidney (Lavan et al., 1997a). In bone cells, IRS-1 and IRS-2 are expressed, and we previously reported that IRS-1 in osteoblasts is indispensable for maintaining bone turnover because IRS-1-/- mice showed osteopenia with a low bone turnover in which both bone formation and resorption were decreased (Ogata et al., 2000).

IRS-1 and IRS-2 signalings are reported to have distinct biological roles and to be differentially expressed in a variety of cells. Regarding glucose homeostasis, IRS-1 plays an important role in the metabolic actions of insulin and IGF-I mainly in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, whereas IRS-2 does so in the liver (Yamauchi et al., 1996; Bruning et al., 1997). Most hemopoietic cells express IRS-2 but not IRS-1 (Sun et al., 1997), and in bone cells as well, IRS-1 expression was limited to osteoblastic cells, whereas IRS-2 was expressed in both osteoblastic and osteoclastic cells (Ogata et al., 2000). In addition, IRS-2 is known as a signaling molecule of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13, cytokines with inhibitory effects on osteoclastogenesis (Wang et al., 1998; Scopes et al., 2001; Wurster et al., 2002). Hence, there is a possibility that IRS-2 has a different function in the regulation of bone metabolism from that of IRS-1, especially in the catabolic phase by osteoclastic cells.7 h/ L- p7 n8 W7 B! `4 _* M

5 J' L3 V6 P; A1 l  TThis study analyzed the bones of mice lacking the IRS-2 gene (IRS-2-/- mice), which we generated by homologous recombination (Kubota et al., 2000). IRS-2-/- mice were normal in appearance with a body size similar to wild-type (WT) mice and showed no abnormalities in major organs such as brain, heart, liver, spleen, or kidney, except that their general adiposity was slightly increased and females were infertile (Withers et al., 1998; Burks et al., 2000; Kubota et al., 2000; Tobe et al., 2001). These phenotypes were also different from IRS-1-/- mice whose growth was significantly retarded and in which group both males and females were fertile (Araki et al., 1994; Tamemoto et al., 1994). Furthermore, IRS-2-/- mice displayed type 2 diabetes with peripheral insulin resistance and pancreatic ? cell dysfunction characterized by reduction in ? cell mass, whereas IRS-1-/- mice did not develop diabetes due to an enhanced ? cell mass that compensated for the peripheral insulin resistance.8 e1 j0 C$ c) ?) @- a9 ]% ~

However, IRS-2-/- mice showed osteopenia in these long bones by X-ray and three-dimensional CT analyses (Fig. 1 A). This was also found in vertebral bodies (unpublished data). Bone mineral density (BMD) of these bones was decreased by 10–15% in IRS-2-/- mice at 4, 8, 12, and 16 wk of age compared with their WT littermates (Fig. 1 B, left). To determine the distribution of BMD of long bones at 8 wk, the femora and tibiae were analyzed by dividing them longitudinally into 20 equal regions (Fig. 1 B, right). BMD of each fraction was similarly decreased in all fractions of IRS-2-/- bones, suggesting that both trabecular and cortex bones were similarly affected by IRS-2 deficiency.

Histological features of the proximal tibiae of 8-wk-old IRS-2-/- mice displayed a decrease in the trabecular bone volume (Fig. 2 A, left). Calcein double labeling showed that the width between the two stained labels was narrower in IRS-2-/- (Fig. 2 A, middle); however, the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)–positive osteoclasts was higher in IRS-2-/- than in WT littermates (Fig. 2 A, right). Histomorphometric measurements revealed that bone volume (BV/TV) was 30% decreased, and parameters for bone resorption (Oc.N/B.Pm, Oc.S/BS, and ES/BS) were 70–80% increased in IRS-2-/- compared with WT littermates (Table I). Regarding bone formation parameters, osteoblast number (Ob.S/BS) was slightly, although not significantly, increased in IRS-2-/- bones. However, mineral apposition rate (MAR), reflecting the ability of an individual osteoblast to form bone, was 50% decreased, and, consequently, bone formation rate (BFR/BS) was significantly lower in IRS-2-/- compared with WT littermates. Taking these in vivo observations together, IRS-2-/- mice exhibited osteopenia with increased osteoclastic bone resorption and decreased osteoblastic bone formation, suggesting that the two actions were not coupled. The thickness of the growth plate at the proximal tibiae was not different between IRS-2-/- and WT littermates (70.8 ± 8.9 and 76.9 ± 10.8 μm, mean ± SEM of eight mice each, respectively), indicating that IRS-2 signaling is not important for chondrocytes.' _- g/ W) F& h; X/ j

To further investigate the regulation of expression of genes related to bone metabolism by IRS-2 deficiency, we compared mRNA levels of matrix proteins and key molecules for osteoblast and osteoclast differentiations in long bones between IRS-2-/- and WT littermates (Fig. 2 B). Expression of matrix proteins such as type I collagen, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin, and osteopontin was decreased in IRS-2-/- bones, which was consistent with the histomorphometric data showing reduced bone formation. However, expression of the putative central determinants of major pathways for osteoblast differentiation, i.e., Runx2 (Karsenty, 2001), LDL receptor–related protein 5 (Lrp5) (Patel and Karsenty, 2002), and inhibitor of differentiation-1 (Id-1) (Ogata et al., 1993), was not different between WT and IRS-2-/- bones, implying an independent signaling pathway of IRS-2 in osteoblasts. Positive regulatory molecules of bone resorption, such as receptor activator of nuclear factor B ligand (RANKL) (Suda et al., 1999) and matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) (Uchida et al., 2000), were increased in IRS-2-/- bones, which was also consistent with the histomorphometric data showing enhanced bone resorption. The stimulation of expression of osteoprotegerin, a decoy receptor of RANKL and a negative regulator of osteoclastic bone resorption, observed in IRS-2-/- bones might possibly be due to a compensative response to enhanced bone resorption, as is reported in postmenopausal women (Yano et al., 1999).. _1 Y, e$ t7 L5 v.

Because IRS-1 and IRS-2 are reported to be differentially expressed in a variety of cells and tissues having different biological roles, we compared their expression patterns in primary calvarial osteoblasts. Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF)–dependent bone marrow macrophages (M-BMM) as osteoclast precursors and mature osteoclasts isolated from the coculture of osteoblasts and bone marrow cells were taken from WT and IRS-2-/- littermates. Both IRS-1 and IRS-2 were expressed in WT osteoblasts, whereas in IRS-2-/- osteoblasts, only IRS-1 was expressed with no compensatory increase for IRS-2 deficiency (Fig. 3 A). Regarding cells of osteoclastic lineage, IRS-1 expression was not detected either in M-BMM or mature osteoclasts, and only IRS-2 was expressed in both of these cells from WT mice (Fig. 3 A).

To learn the cellular mechanism underlying the abnormalities in the bone of IRS-2-/- mice, we first compared the proliferation, differentiation, and matrix synthesis of cultured osteoblasts from WT and IRS-2-/- calvariae. Cell proliferation determined by thymidine uptake was similarly seen between WT and IRS-2-/- cultures (Fig. 4 A); however, cell differentiation determined by ALP activity was significantly decreased in IRS-2-/- not only in the control culture, but also in the culture with insulin or IGF-I (Fig. 4 B). Neither potent stimulation of cell proliferation by FGF-2 nor that of cell differentiation by bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) was decreased by IRS-2 deficiency. Alizarin red S staining also showed decreased calcified matrix synthesis by IRS-2-/- osteoblasts in cultures with and without insulin/IGF-I (Fig. 4 C). Here again, similar potent stimulation by BMP-2 was seen in WT and IRS-2-/- osteoblast cultures, suggesting that IRS-2 and BMP-2 systems are independent in osteoblasts. These results indicate that osteoblast differentiation and anabolic function, but not its proliferation, were impaired by IRS-2 deficiency.

( M1 ~# a5 b2 A7 V+ U6 wOsteoclasts are known to be derived from hemopoietic cells and to require the cell–cell interaction with osteoblasts/stromal cells for differentiation. To investigate osteoclast formation, we measured the number of TRAP-positive multinucleated osteoclasts formed in the coculture system of osteoblasts and bone marrow cells. Osteoclastogenesis in the coculture induced by the bone resorptive factors prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), IL-11, and 1,25(OH)2D3 was more increased when both cells were derived from IRS-2-/- mice than when both cells were derived from WT mice (Fig. 5 A, top). IGF-I slightly, but not significantly, induced osteoclastogenesis in both WT and IRS-2-/- cocultures. IL-4 and IL-13 inhibited 1,25(OH)2D3-induced osteoclastogenesis in the WT coculture. Although IRS-2 is known as a signaling molecule of IL-4 and IL-13, neither of the inhibitory actions was different between WT and IRS-2-/- cocultures. These results indicate that IRS-2 signaling acts inhibitorily on the induction of osteoclastogenesis by PGE2, IL-11, and 1,25(OH)2D3, but is not related to its inhibition by IL-4 or IL-13. The results were reproducible when spleen cells were used instead of bone marrow cells as a source of hemopoietic cells (unpublished data). Because RANKL is known to be a key membrane-associated molecule expressed on osteoblasts/stromal cells inducing osteoclastogenesis (Suda et al., 1999), we examined the regulation of RANKL expression in osteoblasts from WT and IRS-2-/- mice by these factors (Fig. 5 A, bottom). The regulation of RANKL expression showed good correlation with that of osteoclastogenesis: RANKL induction by the resorptive factors was increased in IRS-2-/- osteoblasts compared with WT osteoblasts, whereas the inhibition by IL-4 and IL-13 was identical in both osteoblasts.

In the presence of 1,25(OH)2D3, enhanced osteoclastogenesis in the coculture of IRS-2-/- osteoblasts and IRS-2-/- marrow cells (IRS-2-/-:IRS-2-/-) was normalized by replacing IRS-2-/- osteoblasts with WT osteoblasts (WT:IRS-2-/-), but not by replacing IRS-2-/- marrow cells with WT marrow cells (IRS-2-/-:WT) (Fig. 5 B, top). When the coculture was further performed on a dentine slice for 2 d, the area of resorption pits was correlated with the number of osteoclasts formed, indicating no difference of bone resorptive function between individual WT and IRS-2-/- osteoclasts (Fig. 5 B, bottom). These results indicate that the increase in bone resorption in IRS-2-/- mice is caused by the abnormality of osteoblasts to support osteoclastogenesis by inducing RANKL, but is not due to abnormalities of osteoclast progenitors or osteoclast function.

Enhanced RANKL expression in cultured IRS-2-/- osteoblasts determined by Northern blotting was also decreased by AxIRS2 infection, but not by AxLacZ (Fig. 5 D). These results were reproducible in the stimulation of other bone resorptive factors, PGE2 and IL-11 (unpublished data).

In addition, the survival of mature osteoclasts isolated from the M-BMM culture did not differ between WT and IRS-2-/- osteoclasts (the average half life of 12 wells was 6.4 and 5.7 h, respectively).

In vivo morphological analyses in this study demonstrated that IRS-2-/- mice exhibited osteopenia with decreased bone formation and increased bone resorption. In vitro cell culture analyses revealed that IRS-2-/- osteoblasts showed reduced ability of their differentiation and matrix synthesis. The increased osteoclastogenesis was due to the upregulation of RANKL in osteoblasts by IRS-2 deficiency. Although IRS-2, but not IRS-1, was expressed and phosphorylated by insulin/IGF-I in osteoclastic cells, intrinsic IRS-2 signaling in these cells was not important for their differentiation, function, or survival.

, e2 S  B& x/ e3 WThe present study revealed the difference in the physiological roles of IRS-1 and IRS-2 in bone metabolism. IRS-2-/- mice exhibited an uncoupling state with decreased bone formation and increased bone resorption, whereas our previous study found that IRS-1-/- mice displayed a decrease in both bone formation and bone resorption, indicating a low turnover osteopenia (Ogata et al., 2000). Hence, IRS-1 and IRS-2 seem to have opposite effects on osteoclastogenesis and RANKL expression in osteoblasts. The signaling specificity through the two IRSs may be accomplished by distinct phosphorylation patterns during interaction with various activated receptors (Sun et al., 1997). For example, phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI3) kinase activities in muscle and liver cells have functional differences in the ability of the two IRSs (Kadowaki et al., 1996; Burks and White, 2001). In this study, effects of bone resorptive factors, i.e., PGE2, IL-11, or 1,25(OH)2D3, on osteoclastogenesis and RANKL expression were shown to be partly inhibited by IRS-2 signaling, suggesting some convergence of signaling pathways between these factors and IRS-2. Because the main signaling pathways downstream of IRS-2 are known to be those of PI3 kinase and MAPK (Kadowaki et al., 1996; Withers et al., 1998; Burks and White, 2001), either pathway could conceivably be connected with the signaling of these resorptive factors. In fact, signalings of PGE2 and IL-11 through their specific prostaglandin E and gp130 receptors, respectively, are known to utilize both PI3 kinase and MAPK (Fukada et al., 1999; Breyer et al., 2001). 1,25(OH)2D3 signaling is also reported to be inhibited by MAPK pathway by the phosphorylation of retinoid X receptor , the heterodimer of the nuclear vitamin D receptor, in human keratinocytes (Solomon et al., 1999). However, our preliminary study on the mechanism of RANKL induction failed to show the involvement of PI3 kinase, p42/44 MAPK, and p38 MAPK pathways because none of their inhibitors, LY294002, PD98059, or SB203580, altered the upregulation of the RANKL mRNA level by IRS-2 deficiency in cultured osteoblasts (unpublished data). We therefore speculate that signaling(s) other than PI3 kinase and these MAPKs may be involved in the suppression of RANKL expression and osteoclastogenesis by IRS-2. The next task ahead of us will be to elucidate the difference of signaling through IRS-1 and IRS-2 in osteoblasts.

! P  v" o* J$ N/ pIGF-I is a potent autocrine/paracrine factor for osteoblast proliferation and differentiation (Canalis, 1993). A relationship between bone density and IGF-I is suggested by a study showing a correlation of serum and skeletal IGF-I levels with bone density between two healthy inbred strains of mice (Rosen et al., 1997). In humans, accumulating evidence has suggested a positive correlation between the serum IGF-I level and bone density in postmenopausal women (Nicolas et al., 1994; Rosen, 1994; Reed et al., 1995; Canalis, 1997). The anabolic effect of insulin on bone formation may be primarily related to its ability to stimulate cell proliferation (Thomas et al., 1997). Streptozotocin-induced diabetic animals with impaired pancreatic insulin production lose bone rapidly, and this loss is offset by insulin replacement (Hough et al., 1981). Clinically, type 1 diabetes with insulin deficiency is associated with decreased bone mass; however, the change of bone mass in type 2 diabetic patients is controversial. Although previous reports demonstrated a decrease in bone mass in these latter patients, accumulating evidence has revealed that obese type 2 diabetic patients have normal or even increased bone mass (Kao et al., 1993; van Daele et al., 1995; Krakauer et al., 1997; Piepkorn et al., 1997). This might be due to the increased physical stress on the skeleton, or hyperinsulinemia seen in the earlier stage of type 2 diabetes. In fact, we previously demonstrated that patients with hyperinsulinemia are associated with the increased ossification of the spinal ligaments (Akune et al., 2001). Whether or not the response of bone cells to insulin is affected similarly to that of cells responsible for glucose metabolism, such as muscle, liver, and adipose tissue, in type 2 diabetic patients is an important point to be elucidated. Although the IRS-2-/- mice develop type 2 diabetes characterized by defects in both insulin action and insulin secretion, clinical studies on genetic polymorphisms have so far failed to show a pathogenic contribution of IRS-2 to the development of this condition (Sesti et al., 2001; Wang et al., 2001). Hence, we do not regard the IRS-2-/- mice as a model to define mechanisms of abnormalities of bone metabolism by type 2 diabetes. The mice may speak for themselves as a rare model showing an uncoupling state between bone formation and resorption.# E0 U! h; o' s/ p" G4 x* V

& B! Y/ u: _* B" ?1 o) Z: oIn the histomorphometric analysis, osteoblast function was shown to be decreased by IRS-2 deficiency; however, the number of osteoblasts (Ob.S/BS) was either not affected or was increased (Table I). We speculate that this increase may be secondary to the upregulation of osteoclastic bone resorption through the coupling mechanism between osteoclasts and osteoblasts. In fact, in the osteoblast culture system in which osteoclastic cells were absent, cell proliferation was not different between WT and IRS-2-/- (Fig. 4 A), whereas cell differentiation and matrix synthesis were decreased in the IRS-2-/- culture. Hence, IRS-2 in osteoblasts seems to be related to the signaling of their differentiation and function, but not to their mitogenic or anti-apoptotic signaling directly.

The decrease in anabolic function of IRS-2-/- osteoblasts was seen not only in the culture with insulin or IGF-I but also in the control culture (Fig. 4, B, C, and D). This may possibly be due to the blockage of signals of endogenous IGF-I acting as an autocrine/paracrine factor in the culture. The concentrations of IGF-I in the culture medium were 0.39 ± 0.12 and 0.48 ± 0.10 nM (mean ± SEM) in the control cultures of WT and IRS-2-/- osteoblasts, respectively. In addition, serum IGF-I levels were similar between WT and IRS-2-/- mice in the age from 8 to 16 wk, suggesting the absence of systemic compensation for impaired IGF-I bioactivity. Hence, the decreased bone formation in vivo in IRS-2-/- mice may be at least in part due to the deficit of anabolic signaling of endogenous IGF-I produced by osteoblasts acting as an autocrine/paracrine factor.8 ^9 p, P! ?5 F2 A  f0 T

4 L0 Y  N" o% C5 c2 w: J* AIntrinsic IRS-2 in osteoclastic cells was proven not to be important for their differentiation, function, or survival despite the fact that IRS-2 and receptors of IGF-I and insulin are expressed in these cells (Fiorelli et al., 1996; Hou et al., 1997; Thomas et al., 1998). Whether or not IGF-I or insulin directly acts on osteoclastic cells is controversial (Mochizuki et al., 1992; Hill et al., 1995), and we, in fact, failed to show the direct action of IGF-I or insulin in the culture of M-BMM in the absence of osteoblasts/stromal cells (unpublished data). Furthermore, IRS-1 and IRS-2 are reported to regulate cell apoptosis through phosphorylation of Bcl-2 in a myeloma cell line (Ueno et al., 2000), however, these proteins did not affect osteoclast survival in our previous and present studies (Ogata et al., 2000). Hence, IGF-I/insulin and IRS signalings are likely to regulate bone resorption more predominantly by their indirect actions through osteoblasts/stromal cells than by their direct actions on osteoclastic cells.0 X* C, F% |# c7 M: X4 e# f

Clinically, loss of anabolic actions of insulin and IGF-I on bone metabolism is implied to cause various bone metabolic diseases. Taken together with our previous study, we hereby propose that these anabolic actions are maintained as an integration of two proteins that have distinct biological roles in osteoblasts, IRS-1 and IRS-2. The former is essential to maintain bone turnover by upregulating anabolic function and RANKL expression, whereas the latter is needed to retain the predominance of the anabolic function over the catabolic function. Distinct regulation of these two IRS proteins in osteoblasts may play a key role in controlling bone metabolism and maintaining bone homeostasis.
