By analysis of osteoclasts derived from IRBIT knockout mice, we found that the number of RANKL-induced Ca^<2+> oscillation positive cells was increased in IRBIT knockout mononuclear osteoclasts and that IRBIT knockout cells enhanced cell-cell fusion step during osteoclastogenesis as compared with wild-type cells. These results indicate that IRBIT negatively regulates IP_3R-mediated Ca^<2+> signaling and cell-cell fusion step during osteoclast differentiation.
