Osteoclast-derived apoptotic bodies show extended biological effects of parental cell in promoting bone defect healing.

ABSTRACT: Apoptotic bodies (ABs) traditionally considered as garbage bags that enclose residual components of dead cells are gaining increasing attentions due to their potential roles in intercellular communications. In bone turn over, at the end of bone resorption phase, most osteoclasts undergo apoptosis, generating large amounts of ABs. However, it remains unclear of the role of osteoclast-derived ABs in bone remodeling. Methods: Staurosporine (STS) was used to apoptotic induction and differential centrifugation was used to isolate ABs. Western blotting, flowcytometry and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were performed for ABs identification, while whole transcriptome of ABs from osteoclasts at different stages was detected by RNA-seq.
