Bidirectional ephrinB2-EphB4 signaling controls bone homeostasis
Open accessAbstract
Bone homeostasis requires a delicate balance between the activities of bone-resorbing osteoclasts and bone-forming osteoblasts. Various molecules coordinate osteoclast function with that of osteoblasts; however, molecules that mediate osteoclast-osteoblast interactions by simultaneous signal transduction in both cell types have not yet been identified. Here we show that osteoclasts express the NFATc1 target gene Efnb2 (encoding ephrinB2), while osteoblasts express the receptor EphB4, along with other ephrin-Eph family members. Using gain- and loss-of-function experiments, we demonstrate that reverse signaling through ephrinB2 into osteoclast precursors suppresses osteoclast differentiation by inhibiting the osteoclastogenic c-Fos-NFATc1 cascade. In addition, forward signaling through EphB4 into osteoblasts enhances osteogenic differentiation, and overexpression of EphB4 in osteoblasts increases bone mass in transgenic mice. These data demonstrate that ephrin-Eph bidirectional signaling links two major molecular mechanisms for cell differentiation--one in osteoclasts and the other in osteoblasts--thereby maintaining bone homeostasis.

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.
