| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In skeletons, extracellular phosphate (Pi) exerts various actions. Although these multiple actions of extracellular Pi on the skeletal cells are likely to be partly mediated by type III sodium/phosphate co-transporters Pit1 and Pit2, the details still remain unclear. In the current study, we generated osteoblastic cells lacking Pit1 or Pit2 by applying CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. Our results demonstrated that ablation of Pit1 or Pit2 in the osteoblastic cell line led to accelerated mineralization, suppressed tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase and altered the levels of extracellular and intracellular pyrophosphate and adenosine triphosphate, and we speculate that these changes might be partly mediated by changes in the availability of extracellular Pi.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年、血管や脳などの異所性の石灰化におけるPit1やPit2の関与が報告され、注目を浴びている。しかしながら、小児の成長に関わる骨芽細胞の分化や石灰化におけるPit1およびPit2の生理的な機能については充分な検討がなされておらず、本研究の学術的意義は大きい。
