Signal transduction from mechanical loading and PTH stimulation involves two pathways: one is Ca<sup>2+</sup>-ERK-CREB pathway which facilitates binding of ∆FosB/JunD to the AP-1 site to enhance IL-11 gene transcription, and the other is Smad1/5 phosphorylation that promotes IL-11 gene transcription via SBE binding and complex formation with ∆FosB/JunD. The increased IL-11 suppresses Sost expression via IL-11Rα-STAT1/3-HDAC4/5 pathway and enhances Wnt signaling in the bone to stimulate bone formation. Thus, IL-11 mediates stimulatory and inhibitory signals of bone formation by affecting Wnt signaling. Physiologically important stimulation of bone formation is exercise-induced mechanical loading, but exercise simultaneously requires energy source for muscle contraction. Exercise-induced stimulation of IL-11 expression in the bone increases the secretion of IL-11 from the bone. The increased circulating IL-11 acts like a hormone to enhance adipolysis as an energy source with a reduction in adipogenic differentiation via a suppression of Dkk1/2 expression in the adipose tissue. Such bone-fat linkage can be a mechanism whereby exercise increases bone mass and, at the same time, maintains energy supply from the adipose tissue.</p>","PeriodicalId":15116,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism","volume":" ","pages":"447-454"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139697520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
