IgSF11-mediated phosphorylation of pyruvate kinase M2 regulates osteoclast differentiation and prevents pathological bone loss

Abstract Osteoclasts are primary bone-resorbing cells, and receptor-activated NF-kB ligand (RANKL) stimulation is the key driver of osteoclast differentiation. During late-stage differentiation, osteoclasts become multinucleated and enlarged (so-called “maturation”), suggesting their need to adapt t...

description Abstract Osteoclasts are primary bone-resorbing cells, and receptor-activated NF-kB ligand (RANKL) stimulation is the key driver of osteoclast differentiation. During late-stage differentiation, osteoclasts become multinucleated and enlarged (so-called “maturation”), suggesting their need to adapt to changing metabolic demands and a substantial increase in size. Here, we demonstrate that immunoglobulin superfamily 11 (IgSF11), which is required for osteoclast differentiation through an association with the postsynaptic scaffolding protein PSD-95, regulates osteoclast differentiation by controlling the activity of pyruvate kinase M isoform 2 (PKM2). By using a system that directly induces the activation of IgSF11 in a controlled manner, we identified PKM2 as a major IgSF11-induced tyrosine-phosphorylated protein. IgSF11 activates multiple Src family tyrosine kinases (SFKs), including c-Src, Fyn, and HcK, which phosphorylate PKM2 and thereby inhibit PKM2 activity. Consistently, IgSF11-deficient cells show higher PKM2 activity and defective osteoclast differentiation. Furthermore, inhibiting PKM2 activities with the specific inhibitor Shikonin rescues the impaired osteoclast differentiation in IgSF11-deficient cells, and activating PKM2 with the specific activator TEPP46 suppresses osteoclast differentiation in wild-type cells. Moreover, PKM2 activation further suppresses osteoclastic bone loss without affecting bone formation in vivo. Taken together, these results show that IgSF11 controls osteoclast differentiation through PKM2 activity, which is a metabolic switch necessary for optimal osteoclast maturation.
