Abstract

Abstract: Insulin‐like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I) and insulin‐like growth factor binding proteins‐2 (IGFBP‐2) function coordinately to stimulate osteoblast differentiation. Induction of AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) is required for differentiation and is stimulated by these two factors. These studies were undertaken to determine how these two peptides lead to activation of AMPK. Enzymatic inhibitors and small interfering RNA were utilized to attenuate calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) activity in osteoblasts, and both manipulations resulted in failure to activate AMPK, thereby resulting in inhibition of osteoblast differentiation. IGFBP‐2 and IGF‐I stimulated an increase in CaMKK2, and inhibition of IGFBP‐2 binding its receptor resulted in failure to induce CaMKK2 and AMPK activation. Injection of a peptide that contained the IGFBP‐2 receptor‐binding domain into IGFBP‐2 −/− mice activated CaMKK2 and injection of a CaMKK2 inhibitor into normal mice inhibited both CamKK2 and AMPK activation in osteoblasts. We conclude that induction of CaMKK2 by IGFBP‐2 and IGF‐I in osteoblasts is an important signaling event that occurs early in differentiation and is responsible for activation of AMPK, which is required for optimal osteoblast differentiation.
