The endocrine role of the skeleton-which is impaired in human diseases including osteoporosis, obesity and diabetes-has been highlighted previously. In these diseases, the role of AMPK, a sensor and regulator of energy metabolism, is of biological and clinical importance. Since AMPK's main catalytic subunit α has two isoforms, it is unclear whether functional differences between them exist in the skeletal system. The current study overexpressed AMPKα1 and α2 in MC3T3-E1 cells, primary osteoblasts and mouse BMSCs by lentiviral transduction. Cells overexpressing AMPKα2 showed higher osteogenesis potential than AMPKα1, wherein androgen receptor (AR) and osteoactivin played important roles. RANKL and M-CSF were secreted at lower levels from cells overexpressing α2 than α1, resulting in decreased osteoblast-associated osteoclastogenesis. Adipogenesis was inhibited to a greater degree in 3T3-L1 cells overexpressing α2 than α1, which was modulated by AR. An abnormal downregulation of AMPKα2 was observed in human BMSCs exhibiting the fibrous dysplasia (FD) phenotype. Overexpression of AMPKα2 in these cells rescued the defect in osteogenesis, suggesting that AMPKα2 plays a role in FD pathogenesis. These findings highlight functional differences between AMPKα1 and α2, and provide a basis for investigating the molecular mechanisms of diseases associated with impaired functioning of the skeletal system.
