Abstract

Increasing evidence emphasizes the importance of chemokines and chemokine receptors as regulators of bone remodeling. The C-C chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3) is dramatically upregulated during osteoclastogenesis, but the role of CCR3 in osteoclast formation and bone remodeling in adult mice is unknown. Herein, we used bone marrow macrophages derived from adult male CCR3-proficient and CCR3-deficient mice to study the role of CCR3 in osteoclast formation and activity. CCR3 deficiency was associated with formation of giant hypernucleated osteoclasts, enhanced bone resorption when cultured on bone slices, and altered mRNA expression of related chemokine receptors and ligands. In addition, primary mouse calvarial osteoblasts isolated from... (More)

Increasing evidence emphasizes the importance of chemokines and chemokine receptors as regulators of bone remodeling. The C-C chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3) is dramatically upregulated during osteoclastogenesis, but the role of CCR3 in osteoclast formation and bone remodeling in adult mice is unknown. Herein, we used bone marrow macrophages derived from adult male CCR3-proficient and CCR3-deficient mice to study the role of CCR3 in osteoclast formation and activity. CCR3 deficiency was associated with formation of giant hypernucleated osteoclasts, enhanced bone resorption when cultured on bone slices, and altered mRNA expression of related chemokine receptors and ligands. In addition, primary mouse calvarial osteoblasts isolated from CCR3-deficient mice showed increased mRNA expression of the osteoclast activator-related gene, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand, and osteoblast differentiation-associated genes. Microcomputed tomography analyses of femurs from CCR3-deficient mice revealed a bone phenotype that entailed less cortical thickness and volume. Consistent with our in vitro studies, the total number of osteoclasts did not differ between the genotypes in vivo. Moreover, an increased endocortical osteoid mineralization rate and higher trabecular and cortical bone formation rate was displayed in CCR3-deficient mice. Collectively, our data show that CCR3 deficiency influences osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation and that it is associated with thinner cortical bone in adult male mice.
