| Research Abstract |
In this experiment bisphosphonates reduced the adherent strength of osteoclast precursors which are in the process of osteoclast differentiation. Because antibody against adhesion molecules altered osteoclastgenesis, I tried to find the signaling molecules which integrate adhesion molecules and osteoclastgenesis. Syk and Fyn, tyrosine kinases known to be important for osteoclastgenesis, were co-immunoprecipitated with integrins in the process of osteoclastgenesis. These results suggest that outside-in signals from integrins are important for osteoclast-precursor function and differentiation.
