概要 To investigate the possible requirement for OPN in the transduction of mechanical signaling in bone metabolism in vivo, we examined the effect of unloading on the bones of OPN-/- mice using a tail suspension model. In contrast to the tail suspension-induced bone loss in wild-type mice, OPN-/- mice did not lose bone. Elevation of urinary deoxypyridinoline levels due to unloading was observed in wild-type but not in OPN-/- mice. Analysis of the mechanisms of OPN deficient-dependent reduction in bone on the cellular basis resulted in two unexpected findings. First, osteoclasts, which were increased by unloading in wild-type mice, were not increased by tail suspension ill OPN-/- mice. Second. measures of os
