Outline of Final Research Achievements

For severe bone resorption, the development of new therapeutic methods based on the regulate bone metabolism factors is an important issue. In this study, we focused on glutamate, which is a neurotransmitter that has the role of regulating bone metabolism, so we studied PICK1 which bind to AMPA glutamate receptor.
Over-expression of PICK1 significantly promoted osteoclast differentiation of osteoclast precursor cells and PDZ domain binding inhibitor of PICK1 significantly inhibited osteoclast differentiation. On the other hand, over-expression of PICK1 of osteoblast precursor cells did not affect osteoblast differentiation.
From the above, it is suggested that PICK1 does not affect osteoblast differentiation and regulate osteoclast differentiation.
