Lyn inhibits osteoclast differentiation by interfering with PLC gamma 1-mediated Ca2+ signaling

초록

Osteoclasts differentiate from macrophage-lineage cells to become specialized for bone resorption function. By a proteomics approach, we found that Lyn was down-regulated by the osteoclast differentiation factor, receptor activator of NF-kappa B ligand (RANKL). The forced reduction of Lyn caused a striking increase in the RANKL-induced PLC gamma 1, Ca2+, and NFATc1 responses during differentiation. These data suggest that Lyn plays a negative role in osteoclastogenesis by interfering with the PLC gamma 1-mediated Ca2+ signaling that leads to NFATc1 activation. Consistent with the in vitro results, in vivo injection of Lyn specific siRNA into mice calvariae provoked a fulminant bone resorption. Our study provides the first evidence of the involvement of Lyn in the negative regulation of osteoclastogenesis by RANKL. (C) 2009 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
