Caldecrin was originally isolated from the pancreas as afactor that reduced serum calcium levels. This secreted serine protease has chymotrypsin-like activity and is also known as chymotrypsin C; it belongs to the elastase family. Although intravenous administration of caldecrin decreases the serum calcium concentration even when its protease activity is blocked,this effect does require cleavage of caldecrin’s pro-peptide by trypsin,converting it to the mature enzyme. Ectopic intramuscular expression of caldecrin prevented bone resorption in ovariectomized mice. Caldecrin inhibited parathyroid hormone-stimulated calcium release from fetal mouse long bone organ cultures. Furthermore,caldecrin suppressed the formation of osteoclasts from bone marrow cells by inhibiting the receptor activator of nuclear factor-k B ligand(RANKL)-stimulated phospholipase Cγ-calcium oscillation-calcineurinnuclear factor of activated T-cells,cytoplasmic 1 pathway. Caldecrin also suppressed the bone resorption activity of mature osteoclasts by preventing RANKL-stimulated Src activation,calcium entry,and actin ring formation. In vivo and in vitro studies have indicated that caldecrin is a unique multifunctional protease with anti-osteoclastogenic activities that are distinct from its protease activity. Caldecrin might be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of osteolytic diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. This mini-review describes caldecrin’s historical background and its mechanisms of action.
