Age-related bone diseases such as osteoporosis are serious problem in an aged society. To prevent these bone diseases, we have done the study of relationships between the changes in membrane potential and bone remodeling. To investigate the relationships between mechanosignaling and the changes in membrane potential, the light-gated ion channels and pump were transfected into osteocyte and their cells were transplanted to calvariae bone. After invivoloading on bone, invivo loading with light stimulus increased bone formation compared to control. In summary, our results indicate that the changes in membrane potential affects the response of bone mechanosignaling.
