| Research Abstract |
To determine the molecular mechanism of osteoclast activation, human monocytes and human leukemic cell line, HL60 were used after differentiation into ostelclast-like cells. To analyze the role of target molecules on osteoclast function, knocked down cells of PKC-delta, KIF20A, Vimentin, or SMN, were established by lentiviral transfection containing each shRNA. Knockdown of PKC-delta or Vimentin led to decreased podosome (F-actin structure) formation. Knockdown of both KIF20A and SMN increased multinuclear cells resulting from cell to cell fusion. In addition, SMN-knockdown promoted alpha-tubulin acetylation (K40), which is essential for lysosomal trasnport, suggesting that SMN is a regulator of osteoclast activation.
