The mechanisms involved in the mechanical loading-induced increase in bone formation remain unclear. In this study, we showed that cyclic strain (CS) (10 min, 1% stretch at 0.25 Hz) stimulated the proliferation of overnight serum-starved ROS 17/2.8 osteoblast-like cells plated on type I collagen-coated silicone membranes. This increase was blocked by MEK inhibitor PD-98059. Signaling events were then assessed 0 min, 30 min, and 4 h after one CS period with Western blotting and coimmunoprecipitation. CS rapidly and time-dependently promoted phosphorylation of both ERK2 at Tyr-187 and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) at Tyr-397 and Tyr-925, leading to the activation of the Ras/Raf/MEK pathway. Cell transfection with FAK mutated at Tyr-397 completely blocked ERK2 Tyr-187 phosphorylation. Quantitative immunofluorescence analysis of phosphotyrosine residues showed an increase in focal adhesion plaque number and size in strained cells. CS also induced both Src-Tyr-418 phosphorylation and Src to FAK association. Treatment with the selective Src family kinase inhibitor pyrazolopyrimidine 2 did not prevent CS-induced FAK-Tyr-397 phosphorylation suggesting a Src-independent activation of FAK. CS also activated proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (PYK2), a tyrosine kinase highly homologous to FAK, at the 402 phosphorylation site and promoted its association to FAK in a time-dependent manner. Mutation of PYK2 at the Tyr-402 site prevented the ERK2 phosphorylation only at 4 h. Intra and extracellular calcium chelators prevented PYK2 activation only at 4 h. In summary, our data showed that osteoblast response to mitogenic CS was mediated by MEK pathway activation. The latter was induced by ERK2 phosphorylation under the control of FAK and PYK2 phosphorylation orchestrated in a time-dependent manner.
