Osteocytes Regulate Primary Lymphoid Organs and Fat Metabolism
Open accessAbstract
Osteocytes act as mechanosensors to control local bone volume. However, their roles in the homeostasis of remote organs are largely unknown. We show that ablation of osteocytes in mice (osteocyte-less [OL] mice) leads to severe lymphopenia, due to lack of lymphoid-supporting stroma in both the bone marrow and thymus, and complete loss of white adipose tissues. These effects were reversed when osteocytes were replenished within the bone. In contrast, neither in vivo supply of T cell progenitors and humoral factors via shared circulation with a normal parabiotic partner nor ablation of specific hypothalamic nuclei rescued thymic atrophy and fat loss in OL mice. Furthermore, ablation of the hypothalamus in OL mice led to hepatic steatosis, which was rescued by parabiosis with normal mice. Our results define a role for osteocytes as critical regulators of lymphopoiesis and fat metabolism and suggest that bone acts as a central regulator of multiple organs.

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.
