Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 deficiency suppresses unloading‐induced bone loss

Abstract: Mechanosensing is one of the crucial components of the biological events. In bone, as observed in unloading-induced osteoporosis in bed ridden patients, mechanical stress determines the levels of bone mass. Many molecules have been suggested to be involved in sensing mechanical stress in bone, while the full pathways for this event has not yet been identified. We examined the role of TRPV4 in unloading-induced bone loss. Hind limb unloading induced osteopenia in wild-type mice. In contrast, TRPV4 deficiency su… Show more

“…Beyond the control of systemic osmolarity (1,29), TRPV4 has been implicated in other force-related transductions in vivo, including flow-mediated dilation of arteries (30), strain-induced endothelial cell reorientation (31), viscosity-coupled epithelial ciliary activity (32,33), and osteoclast response to weight load on bones (19). In these instances, a direct mechanosensitivity of the TRPV4 channel itself provides the simplest explanation.…”

“…TRPV4 seems to regulate vascular tone Zhang et al, 2009) and bone deposition and remodeling (Masuyama et al, 2008;Mizoguchi et al, 2008). It is noteworthy that mutations in TRPV4 have been identified in patients with three dominantly inherited skeletal phenotypes: autosomal-dominant brachyolmia, spondylometaphyseal dysplasia Kozlowski type, and metatropic dysplasia (Rock et al, 2008;Krakow et al, 2009).…”

“…No obstante, el hecho de que las mutaciones en el gen TRPV4 causan displasias óseas es consistente con que el canal se expresa en los osteoblastos y osteoclastos. 8 Presentan un papel importante en el cartílago, en las primeras etapas de la diferenciación de los condrocitos, 9 y modula el gen SOX9 en cultivo de células. 10 Las mutaciones en el genTRPV4 producen una familia de displasias óseas que presentan un espectro fenotípico continuo, que incluye l a e s t u d i a d a e n e s t e c a s o , l a d i s p l a s i a espondilometafisaria tipo Kozlowski (OMIM 184252) y la braquiolmia tipo 3 (OMIM 113500).…”
