Abstract

This study identifies senescent osteocytes in the femur and tibia of young rodents and explores their role in bone remodeling. The proximity of osteoclasts to senescent osteocytes was observed, which is a new finding. Cultured osteocytes, sorted using a podoplanin antibody in FACS, exhibited osteocytic characteristics and increased senescence-related genes. Senescent osteocytes secreted cytokines associated with senescence, remodeling, and inflammation. Notably, IGF1 and MMP2 were elevated in podoplanin-positive (pdpn) osteocytes. Migration assays demonstrated significant osteoclast precursor migration towards senescent osteocytes, further confirmed by co-culture experiments leading to osteoclast differentiation. These findings suggest that senescent osteocytes have a pivotal role in initiating bone resorption, with recruitment of osteoclast precursors during early bone remodeling stages. In conclusion, our research enhances our understanding of complicated bone remodeling mechanisms and bone homeostasis.
