The CD98 heavy chain (CD98hc) regulates virus-induced cell fusion and monocyte fusion, and is involved in amino acid transportation. Here, we examined the role that CD98hc plays in the formation of osteoclasts using CD98hc<sup>flox/flox</sup>LysM-cre peritoneal macrophages (CD98hc-defect macrophages). Peritoneal macrophages were stimulated with co-cultured with osteoblasts in the presence of 1,25(OH)<sup>2</sup> vitamin D<sub>3</sub>, and thereafter stained with tartrate-resistant acid phosphata ...[more]
