| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
M-CSF, Insulin-2, Nidogen-2, IGFBP-2 and N-terminal fragment 30-kDa of fibronectin (Fn30kDa) were identified as factors required for maintenance and proliferation of osteoclast precursor in conditioned media from mouse embryonic calvaria-derived stromal cells. The amino acid sequence NGRGE were conserved between IGFBP2 and Fn30kDa. Fn30kDa bound to CD13 expressed on osteoclast precursors, increased the expression of RANK, TRAF6, NFATc1 and c-Fos, and enhanced osteoclastogenesis. Intraperitoneal injection of Fn30kDa in mice increased the number of CD11b/CD13 positive cells in peripheral blood, and enhanced calvarial bone resorption induced by LPS.
