PLCγ2 regulates osteoclastogenesis via its interaction with ITAM proteins and GAB2
Open accessAbstract
Excessive bone loss in arthritic diseases is mostly due to abnormal activation of the immune system leading to stimulation of osteoclasts. While phospholipase Cgamma (PLCgamma) isoforms are known modulators of T and B lymphocyte-mediated immune responses, we found that blockade of PLCgamma enzymatic activity also blocks early osteoclast development and function. Importantly, targeted deletion of Plcg2 in mice led to an osteopetrotic phenotype. PLCgamma2, independent of PLCgamma1, was required for receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand-induced (RANKL-induced) osteoclastogenesis by differentially regulating nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1), activator protein-1 (AP1), and NF-kappaB. Specifically, we show that NFATc1 upregulation is dependent on RANKL-mediated phosphorylation of PLCgamma2 downstream of Dap12/Fc receptor gamma (Dap12/FcRgamma) receptors and is blocked by the PLCgamma inhibitor U73122. In contrast, activation of JNK and NF-kappaB was not affected by U73122 or Dap12/FcRgamma deletion. Interestingly, we found that in osteoclasts, PLCgamma2 formed a complex with the regulatory adapter molecule GAB2, was required for GAB2 phosphorylation, and modulated GAB2 recruitment to RANK. Thus, PLCgamma2 mediates RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and is a potential candidate for antiresorptive therapy.

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.
