Function of the bone ECM in osteoclasts.

Bone ECM Functions in osteoclasts Mechanism Cell/Mice model Reference
TSP1 Osteoclast differentiation and activity (+) Decrease inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) TSP1−/− mice (Amend et al., 2015)
TSP2 Osteoclastogenesis (+) Transactivation of NFATc1;
Increase RANKL/OPG ratio
RAW 264.7 cells (Wang et al., 2019)
MGP Osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption (−) Suppress the nuclear translocation of NFATc1 and intracellular Ca2+ flux MGP−/− mice (Zhang Y. et al., 2019)
Type I collagen Osteoclast formation (−) Bind with the collagen receptor LAIR-1 Primary BMMs (Boraschi-Diaz et al., 2018)
Biglycan Osteoclast precursors differentiation (−) Decrease TNFα and RANKL cytokine Biglycan Fibromodulin DKO mice (Kram et al., 2017)
OPN Osteoclast activity and sealing zone formation (+) RGD sequence interact with αvβ3 integrin Primary BMMs (Singh et al., 2018)
BSP Osteoclast surface, number, migration and bone resorption (+) RGD sequence interact with αvβ3 integrin BSP−/− mice
BSP−/− preosteoclast
(Boudiffa et al., 2010)
OPN and BSP Osteoclast number and bone resorption (+) RGD sequence interact with αvβ3 integrin OPN BSP DKO mice (Bouleftour et al., 2019)

DKO, double knockout.
