description Summary: Elucidating a basic blueprint of osteoclast-osteoblast coordination in skeletal remodeling and understanding how this coordination breaks down with age and disease is essential for addressing the growing skeletal health problem in our aging population. The paucity of simple, activatable, biologically relevant models of osteoclast-osteoblast coordination has hindered our understanding of how skeletal remolding is regulated. Here, we describe an inducible ex vivo model of osteoclast-osteoblast progenitor coordination. Induction activates the release of osteoclastogenic factors from osteoprogenitors, which elicits the differentiation and fusion of neighboring preosteoclasts. In turn, multinucleated osteoclasts release soluble coupling factors, RANK+ extracellular vesicles and promote osteoprogenitor proliferation, recapitulating aspects of perturbed coordination in diseases underpinned by excessive osteoclast formation. We expect this model to expedite the investigation of cell-cell fusion, osteoclast-osteoblast progenitor coordination, and extracellular vesicle signaling during bone remodeling and offer a powerful tool for evaluating signaling cascades and novel therapeutic interventions in osteoclast-linked skeletal disease.
