Abstract

The extracellular matrix of bone is composed mainly of type I collagen. In this report we studied the role and collagen-binding properties of osteoclast integrins (alpha v, alpha 2, beta 1, and beta 3). Cell adhesion assays with rat osteoclasts and affinity chromatography/SDS-PAGE analysis with purified human osteoclast membranes demonstrated adhesion of osteoclasts to native type I collagen in a divalent cation and Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-dependent way via alpha 2 beta 1 integrin, whereas osteoclast adhesion to denatured collagen predominantly involved alpha v beta 3. In receptor-binding assays, the involvement of human recombinant alpha v beta 3 in adhesion to denatured collagen was confirmed. Additionally, osteoclasts adhered to type I collagen fibers and to monomeric types II-V collagen with characteristics similar to those on native monomeric type I collagen. Osteoclastic bone resorption in vitro was inhibited (> 40%) in the presence of alpha 2 and beta 1 antibodies. Using scanning laser confocal microscopy, alpha v beta 3, alpha 2, and beta 1 integrin were detected within podosomes in nonresorbing osteoclasts and in the ruffled border area and basolateral membrane in resorbing osteoclasts, but not in the sealing zone of resorbing osteoclasts. These results demonstrate that alpha 2 beta 1, in addition to alpha v beta 3, has an important role in osteoclast function and acts as a receptor for native, but not denatured, collagen.

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

  • During bone resorption osteoclasts express αvβ3 and α2β1 integrins to interact with the extracellular matrix, in which the former bind to bone-enriched RGD-containing proteins such as bone sialoprotein and osteopontin, whereas β1 integrins bind to collagen fibrils.

    “Thus, during bone resorption osteoclasts express α v β 3 and α 2 β 1 integrins to interact with the extracellular matrix, in which the former bind to bone-enriched RGD-containing proteins, such as bone sialoprotein and osteopontin, whereas β 1 integrins bind to collagen fibrils [133, 134].”

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.
