Effects of varying gelatin coating concentrations on RANKL induced osteoclastogenesis.

Here, we assessed the effects of varying concentrations of gelatin coating on Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor κ-B Ligand (RANKL)-induced RAW264.7 murine macrophage differentiation into osteoclast (OC) via osteoclastogenesis. The microstructures of coating surfaces with different concentrations of gelatin were examined by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Increased gelatin coating concentrations led to decreased gel rigidity but increased surface adhesion force attenuated OC differentiation and the decreased actin ring formation in RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. The decreased actin ring formation is associated with decreased lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1) activity and bone resorption in the differentiated OCs with different gelatin coating concentrations as compared to the cells differentiated without gelatin coatings. In addition, increasing concentrations of gelatin coating attenuated the medium TGF-β1 protein levels and the expression levels of TGF-β and type-I (R1) and type-II (R2) TGF-β receptors in OCs, suggesting the gelatin-induced suppression of TGF-β signaling for the regulation of RNAKL-induced OC differentiation. Taken together, these findings showed that changes in gelatin coating concentrations, which were associated with altered gel thickness and substrate rigidity, might attenuate TGF-β signaling events to modulate OC differentiation and concomitant actin ring formation and bone matrix resorption in RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis.
