| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we proposed a new concept showing the presence and its significance of non-canonical action of decoy receptor (-like) molecules by demonstrating 2 examples. 1) Osteoprotegerin (OPG) bound to CCN family protein 2 (CCN2), which binds to RANK and positively regulates RALK signaling, thereby inhibiting osteoclastogenesis via RANK signaling. 2) Platelet-derived growth factor receptor-like (PDGFRL) did not bind to PDGF which is the ligand for PDGF. Instead, PDGFRL did bind to CCN2 which plays important roles in chondrogenesis and endochondral ossification and another member of CCN family CCN3. These findings suggest that PDGFRL plays an important role in the cartilage biology, possibly by regulating the molecular behavior of CCN2. 3) We also found that c-type lectin receptor CD302 bound to CCN2, suggesting possible discovery of another example which supports our new concept.
