Regulators of osteoclast differentiation and cell-cell fusion.
Osteoclasts are multinuclear giant cells derived from osteoclast/macrophage/dendritic cell common progenitor cells. The most characteristic feature of osteoclasts is multinucleation resulting from cell-cell fusion of mononuclear osteoclasts. Osteoclast cell-cell fusion is considered essential for re-organization of the cytoskeleton, such as the actin-ring and ruffled boa...
متن کاملThe tec family tyrosine kinase Btk Regulates RANKL-induced osteoclast maturation.
A spontaneous mutation in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) induces a defect in B-cell development that results in the immunodeficiency diseases X-linked agammaglobulinemia in humans and X-linked immunodeficiency (Xid) in mice. Here we show an unexpected role of Btk in osteoclast formation. When bone marrow cells derived from Xid mice were stimulated with receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand, an...
متن کاملNur77 prevents excessive osteoclastogenesis by inducing ubiquitin ligase Cbl-b to mediate NFATc1 self-limitation
Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing cells essential for skeletal remodeling. However, over-active osteoclasts can cause bone-degenerative disorders. Therefore, the level of NFATc1, the master transcription factor of osteoclast, must be tightly controlled. Although the activation and amplification of NFATc1 have been extensively studied, how NFATc1 signaling is eventually resolved is unclear. Here, w...

متن کاملRCANs regulate the convergent roles of NFATc1 in bone homeostasis
Activation of calcineurin-dependent nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1) is convergent for normal bone homeostasis. NFATc1 regulates both osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis. Here we investigated the roles of regulator of calcineurin (RCAN) genes in bone homeostasis. RCANs function as potent physiological inhibitors of calcineurin. Overexpression of RCANs in osteoclast precurso...
