| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, it is reported that interaction between various tissues is involved in the maintenance of homeostasis and development of various disease. We focused on the interaction between bone and adipose tissue and analyzed the effect of the secretion factors derived from osteoclasts (clastokine) on adipocyte differentiation. We showed that cathepsin K, a clastokine, promotes the adipocyte differentiation, and mRNA expression of genes related to insulin resistance changes in pathologically activated osteoclasts induced by IL-1β exposure. Therefore, osteoclasts may play an important role in the interaction between bone and adipose tissue.
