Crosstalk between ALK3(BMPR1A) deficiency and autophagy signaling mitigates pathological bone loss in osteoporosis

Postmenopausal osteoporosis is recognized to be one of the major skeleton diseases strongly associated with impaired bone formation. Previous reports have indicated that the importance of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling of osteoblast lineage in bone development via classical Smad signaling, however, its critical role in osteoporosis is still not well understood. In the current study, we aim to investigate the pathological role of BMPR1A, a key receptor of BMPs, in osteoporosis and its underlying mechanism. We first found that knockdown of BMPR1A by using Col1a1-creER in osteoblasts mitigated early bone loss of osteoporosis in mice, yet along with late bone maturation defects by reducing mineral adherence rate and bone formation rate in vivo. At the cellular level, we then observed that BMPR1A deficiency promoted the proliferation of pre-osteoblasts under osteoporotic conditions but hindered their late-stage mineralization. We finally elucidated that BMPR1A deficiency compensatorily triggered mTOR-autophagy perturbation by a higher level in early osteoporotic pre-osteoblasts thus resulting in the enhancement of transient cell proliferation but impairment of final mineralization. Taken together, this study indicated the significance of BMPR1A-mTOR/autophagy axis, as a double-edged sword, in osteoporotic bone formation and provided new cues for therapeutic strategies in osteoporosis.
