Atherogenic diet (AD) decreased bone density and increased serum cholesterol level in male mice, implying that cholesterol participates in bone loss. The aim of the present study was to identify the cells responsible for bone loss and evaluate the involved mechanism. AD resulted in increased number and surface of osteoclasts (OCs) with in vivo tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, suggesting a critical role of OCs in cholesterol-induced bone loss. In vitro, cholesterol loading by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) increased the size and number of OCs as well as bone resorption activity, suggesting that cholesterol loading affects the number and activity of OCs. In contrast, cholesterol depletion by simvastatin decreased osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. oxLDL stimulated osteoblasts (OBs) to increase expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL), resulting in increased OC formation when OBs were co-cultured with bone marrow derived macrophages. oxLDL increased expression of CD36 and liver X receptors (LXRα) in OCs as well as low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) and LXRα in OBs. These results suggest that CD36 and LXRα mediate the effect of oxLDL in OCs, whereas LDLR and LXRα mediate the effect of oxLDL in OBs. These findings demonstrate cholesterol-induced bone loss with increasing number and activity of OCs in mice, suggesting another harmful effect of cholesterol, a major cause of atherosclerosis.
