Spatial Control of Perilacunar Canalicular Remodeling During Lactation



Details

  • Description:
    Osteocytes locally remodel their surrounding tissue through perilacunar canalicular remodeling (PLR). During lactation, osteocytes remove minerals to satisfy the metabolic demand, resulting in increased lacunar volume, quantifiable with synchrotron X-ray radiation micro-tomography (SRµCT). Although the effects of lactation on PLR are well-studied, it remains unclear whether PLR occurs uniformly throughout the bone and what mechanisms prevent PLR from undermining bone quality. We used SRµCT imaging to conduct an in-depth spatial analysis of the impact of lactation and osteocyte-intrinsic MMP13 deletion on PLR in murine bone. We found larger lacunae undergoing PLR are located near canals in the mid-cortex or endosteum. We show lactation-induced hypomineralization occurs 14 µm away from lacunar edges, past a hypermineralized barrier. Our findings reveal that osteocyte-intrinsic MMP13 is crucial for lactation-induced PLR near lacunae in the mid-cortex but not for whole-bone resorption. This research highlights the spatial control of PLR on mineral distribution during lactation. [Description provided by NIOSH]
