| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of TGF-β and matrix stiffness on morphological changes and differentiation of osteoclast precursors (OCPs) using the pre-osteoclastic RAW264.7 cells. RAW264.7 cells treated with TGF-β1 and RANKL on stiff matrix showed morphological changes from round to spindle or polygonal morphology. Osteoclast differentiation was significantly induced by treating RAW264.7 cells with TGF-β1 and RAKL on stiff matrix. Otherwise, there is no osteoclast differentiation on soft matrix. There is a systematic relationship between tissue mechanics and differentiation.
