| Research Abstract |
We have firstly developed the cell line to research the fusion mechanism of mononuclear pre-osteoclasts. RAW-D clone, a subclone of murine macrophage-like RAW264 cells, is the most suitable clone highly sensitive to RANKL to differentiate into osteoclasts. As the 2nd step, we have searched gene specifically expressed in RAW-D cells after stimulation with RANKL by use of RNA subtraction techniques. For the 3rd step, we have evaluated the function of obtained genes. We have cloned genome of DC-STAMP from appropriate BAC clone and constructed the targeting vector followed by introducing the vector into ES cells. However, we could not obtain stable ES cells targeted DC-STAMP gene. We have modified the design of the targeting vector and introduced it into ES cells. Now we are trying the efforts to obtain stable ES clone. On the other hand, we have evaluated the function of DC-STAMP in osteoclastogenesis by use of several in vitro cell culture systems. We have transfected RAW-D cells with fu

ll length cDNA for DC-STAMP and ΔT7 DC-STAMP ligated into the expression vector pCIneo. Both of these cDNA construct significantly augmented osteoclastogenesis induced by RANKL. As DC-STAMP and ΔT7 DC-STAMP significantly stimulated formation of osteoclasts with numerous nuclei, it was estimated that DC-STAMP has pivotal roles in the fusion among pre-osteoclasts. By the way, we have ligated DC-STAMP and AT7 DC-STAMP into pEGFPN1 to prepare GFP-fusion protein at C-terminus of these molecules. When we transfected these constructs into RAW-D cells, to our surprise, a significant induction of TRAP-positive cells (also induced TRAP-positive multinucleated cell) was observed. Even in the absence of RANKL. These data suggest a presence of regulatory domain at the C-terminal portion of DC-STAMP. Loss-of-function studies by use of specific siRNA clearly showed a marked inhibition of osteoclastogenesis involving multinucleation process. It is now elucidated that DC-STAMP is a key regulatory molecule in osteoclastogenesis especially in fusion process of pre-osteoclasts. Our findings would open a new aspect of therapeutic way to regulate inflammatory bone destruction. Less
