Abstract Ghrelin is a 28-amino-acid peptide identified in the stomach as an endogenous ligand of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) that strongly stimulates the release of growth hormone at the hypothalamus and pituitary level. Although GHS-Rs are expressed in a variety of peripheral tissues, little is known about its effect on bone independent of GH/IGF-1 axis. This study was undertaken to investigate whether ghrelin exerts a direct effect on osteoblasts. We identified mRNA and protein expression of GHS-R in primary osteoblasts as well as a number of osteoblastic cell lines, including MC3T3-E1, ROS 17/2.8, UMR-106, MG63, and SaOS2 cells. Treatment of ghrelin (10(-11) to 10(-7) M) to MC3T3-E1 cells showed dose-dependent stimulation of proliferation, which was abrogated by treatment with [d-Lys]-GHRP-6 (10(-3) M), a selective antagonist of the ghrelin receptor. Ghrelin activated ERK1/2 MAPK and pretreatment with MAPK kinase inhibitors, PD98059 attenuated the ghrelin-induced cell proliferation. Ghrelin also inhibited TNFalpha-induced apoptosis and suppressed caspase-3 activation that occurs in response to TNFalpha as well as during in vitro differentiation process. Moreover, ghrelin treatment enhanced in vitro osteoblast differentiation as evidenced by matrix mineralization, alkaline phosphatase activity, and osteoblast-specific gene expression. These results suggest that ghrelin promotes proliferation and differentiation and inhibits apoptosis of osteoblasts.
