Osteoclastic bone resorption depends upon the cell's ability to organize its cytoskeleton via the αvβ3 integrin and osteoclastogenic cytokines. Because paxillin associates with αvβ3, we asked if it participates in skeletal degradation. Unlike deletion of other αvβ3-associated cytoskeleton-regulating molecules, which impairs the cell's ability to spread, paxillin-deficient (Pax(-/-) ) osteoclasts, generated from embryonic stem cells, "superspread" in response to receptor activator of NF-κB ligand ...[more]
