Deletion of NUMBL in myeloid lineage leads to increase in osteoclastogenesis. Bone marrow cells were isolated from WT and NUMBL-cKO mice. (A) Cells were cultured in 96 well plate in the presence of RANKL and M-CSF for 4 day followed by fixation, TRAP staining and (B) counting. Bone marrow cells from WT and NUMBL-cKO mice were treated with RANKL for 0, 2 and 4 days in the presence of M-CSF, followed by RNA isolation for qPCR of OC differentiation associated genes. NUMBL deletion results in increased expression of OC differentiation associated genes (C) TRAP, (D) NFATc1, (E) DC-STAMP, (F) β3-Integrin, (G) Cathepsin-K and (H) MMP9 in bone marrow cells upon RANK stimulation. (**P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001).
