| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Signaling cascade through ITAM of DAP12 is essential for formation of functional osteoclasts. In this research, first we elucidated the functional amino acid sequence in cytoplasmic region of Siglec-15 and through this sequence microtubule related protein interacts with Siglec-15. From these findings, we constructed chimeric protein of Siglec-15 and DAP12 and found the expression of this artificial protein effectively rescued the phenotype of Siglec-15 KO mice in vitro. We established transgenic mice which express this chimeric protein in osteoclast specific manner and mate this mice with Siglec-15 KO mice which shows mild osteopetrosis as same as DAP12 KO mice. Finally, we could successfully obtain tibias and femurs from Siglec-15 KO background mice with or without transgenic allele.
