Abstract

Abstract Background Apart from the current understanding of enzyme function, the mechanism of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (Enpp1) deficiency-associated osteoporosis is unknown. We aimed to explore the changes in the expression of signaling pathways of bone tissues involved in Enpp1 deficiency. Methods The body weights and morphology and histology of the bones of male Enpp1 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice were assessed. The humeri of WT and Enpp1 KO mice at 12 weeks of age were subjected to high-throughput quantitative molecular measurements, and bioinformatics analysis was performed. Proteins from humeri and calvarial pre-osteoblasts (Pobs) were used to verify the differentially expressed signaling pathways and to explain the mechanism of Enpp1 deficiency-associated osteoporosis. Results Enpp1 KO mice had significantly lower body weight and trabecular bone mass in the hindlimbs than WT mice. Proteomics and immunoblotting showed that Enpp1 deletion downregulated the expression of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway in bones. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) was involved in activating the MKK3/p38 MAPK/PCNA pathway and proliferating Pobs in Enpp1 KO mice, whereas a p38 MAPK inhibitor suppressed the LPA-induced pro-proliferation phenotype (p < 0.05). Conclusion The inhibition of MKK3/p38 MAPK/PCNA pathway plays an important role in the development of osteoporosis caused by Enpp1 deficiency, and LPA partially rescued the proliferation of pre-osteoblasts via the MKK3/p38 MAPK/PCNA pathway.
