| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Loss of bone in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a result of excessive bone resorption by osteoclasts (OCs). However, how the generation of osteoclasts is enhanced in RA patients is unclear. To study the mechanism of enhanced osteoclastogenesis in RA patients, we need appropriate materials. Although osteoclast progenitor cells are able to be isolated from bone marrow of RA patients, the biopsies are invasive procedures in patients. Therefore, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from RA patients and developed the in vitro culture system to differentiate iPSC to monocytic cells and then to OCs. We found that CD14+CD15+ cells appeared during the early differentiation of monocytes and their proportion was higher in RA patient derived-iPSC than that in healthy donor derived-iPSC. Furthermore, a number of OCs differentiated from RA patient derived-iPSC was higher than that from healthy controls.
