Abstract

Background: Coupling of bone degradation to subsequent bone formation requires recruitment of osteoblast precursors. Results: Osteoclasts produce sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), which stimulates mesenchymal (skeletal) stem cell migration by activating kinase signaling pathways. Conclusion: Coupling of bone resorption to bone formation involves S1P-mediated recruitment of osteoblastic cells. Significance: Enhancing kinase signaling in osteoblastic cells may be a novel approach to enhance bone formation.
