A novel mechanism of Vildagliptin in regulating bone metabolism and mitigating osteoporosis

Osteoporosis has become a global social problem with the tendency toward the aging population. The challenge in managing osteoporosis is to develop new anti-osteoporosis drugs that target bone anabolism. The purpose of this study was to uncover the novel mechanism of Vildagliptin on bone metabolism. We revealed that Vildagliptin significantly promoted osteogenic differentiation of precursor osteoblasts and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). At the same time, it significantly enhanced the polarization of RAW264.7 macrophages to the M2 type and the secretion of osteogenic factors BMP2 and TGF-β1. This was confirmed by the increased osteogenic differentiation observed in the osteoblast-RAW264.7 co-culture system. Moreover, Vildagliptin significantly enhanced the transformation of BMSCs into the osteogenic morphology in the osteoblast-BMSC co-culture system. Finally, Vildagliptin also inhibited osteoclastic differentiation of RAW 264.7 cells. The potential mechanism underlying these effects involved targeting the GAS6/AXL/ERK5 pathway. In the in vivo study, Vildagliptin significantly alleviated postmenopausal osteoporosis in ovariectomized mice. These findings represent the first comprehensive revelation of the regulatory effect of Vildagliptin on bone metabolism. Specifically, Vildagliptin demonstrates the ability to promote bone anabolism and inhibit bone resorption by simultaneously targeting osteoblasts, BMSCs, and osteoclasts. The bone-protective effects of Vildagliptin were further confirmed in a postmenopausal osteoporosis model. The clinical significance of this study lies in laying a theoretical foundation for bone protection therapy in type-2 diabetes patients with compromised bone conditions or postmenopausal osteoporosis.
