Abstrakt: Osteoclasts are essential for bone remodeling by adapting their resorptive activity in response to their mechanical in vivo environment. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated the role of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP, Acp5), a key enzyme secreted by osteoclasts, in bone remodeling and mechanosensitivity. Using CRISPR/Cas9 reporter mice, we demonstrated bone cell reporter (BCR Ibsp/Acp5 ) mice feature fluorescent TRAP-deficient osteoclasts and examined their activity during mechanically driven trabecular bone remodeling. Although BCR Ibsp/Acp5 mice exhibited trabecular bone impairments and reduced resorption capacity in vitro , RNA sequencing revealed unchanged levels of key osteoclast-associated genes such as C tsk, Mmp9, and Calcr . These findings, in conjunction with serum carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks (CTX) and in vivo mechanical loading outcomes collectively indicated an unaltered bone resorption capacity of osteoclasts in vivo . Furthermore, we demonstrated similar mechanoregulation during trabecular bone remodeling in BCR Ibsp/Acp5 and wild-type (WT) mice. Hence, this study provides valuable insights into the dynamics of TRAP activity in the context of bone remodeling and mechanosensation.
