Research Abstract

The role of Wnt5a-Ror2 signals in osteoclast function was studied. (1) Bone-resorbing activities of osteoclasts derived from Wnt5a-deficient mice and from Ror2 deficient mice were lower than that of wild-type(WT) osteoclasts. (2) Wnt5a activated Rho, a small G protein, in WT osteoclasts but not in Ror2-deficient osteoclasts. (3) When active Rho was transfected into Ror2-deficient osteoclasts, the bone-resorbing activity was recovered. Thus, Wnt5a-Ror2 signals play important roles in osteoclast function through a Rho-dependent mechanism.
