Action against Disease Model ONO-4819 Drug Info Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) positively regulates bone resorption and formation mainly mediated through the EP(4) receptor, a subtype of PGE(2) receptors. ONO-4819, an EP(4) receptor-selective agonist, has been shown to increase bone vol uMe, density, and strength; however, the mechanism of these effects has yet to be fully elucidated. In vitro studies using the multipotent mesenchymal cell line C3H10T1/2 showed that ONO-4819 induced alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity and up-regulated the mRNA expression of ALPase and Osterix. In contrast, ONO-4819 reduced the mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ? (PPAR?) and inhibited adipocyte differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells, which findings are consistent with the observation that the age-dependent increase in adipocyte n uMber in the bone marrow was significantly suppressed in the ONO-4819-treated animals. ONO-4819 also dose-dependently increased osteoclast-like cell formation in vitro, but the required concentrations were much higher than those to induce osteoblast differentiation. [5]
