Abstract

Coupling during bone remodeling refers to the spatial and temporal coordination of bone resorption with bone formation. Studies have assessed the subtle interactions between osteoclasts and osteoblasts to preserve bone balance. Traditionally, coupling research related to osteoclast function has focused on bone resorption activity causing the release of growth factors embedded in the bone matrix. However, considerable evidence from in vitro, animal, and human studies indicates the importance of the osteoclasts themselves in coupling phenomena, and many osteoclast-derived coupling factors have been identified. These include sphingosine-1-phosphate, vesicular-receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB, collagen triple helix repeat containing 1, and cardiotrophin-1. Interestingly, neuronal guidance molecules, such as slit guidance ligand 3, semaphorin (SEMA) 3A, SEMA4D, and netrin-1, originally identified as instructive cues allowing the navigation of growing axons to their targets, have been shown to be involved in the intercellular cross-talk among bone cells. This review discusses osteoclast-osteoblast coupling signals, including recent advances and the potential roles of these signals as therapeutic targets for osteoporosis and as biomarkers predicting human bone health.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • SLIT3 production increases during osteoclast differentiation and SLIT3 is necessary for osteoblast precursor migration.

    “SLIT3 contributes to the initial establishment of the osteogenic environment after resorption and meets the requirements to be considered a coupling factor, as i) SLIT3 production increases during osteoclast differentiation and ii) SLIT3 is necessary for osteoblast precursor migration.235”
  • Several osteoclast-derived compounds, including SLIT3, usherin, Fras-1, atrial natriuretic peptide, afamin, collagen α-1 chain, laminin β2, angiotensin-converting enzyme, and ADAMTS-like protein 4, stimulate osteoblast activity.

    “Among others, slit guidance ligand 3 (SLIT3) usherin, Fraser syndrome 1 (Fras-1), atrial natriuretic peptide, afamin, collagen α-1 chain, laminin β2, angiotensin-converting enzyme, and ADAMTS-like protein 4 were identified in a screen as osteoclast-derived compounds that stimulate osteoblast activity.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
