Osteoclasts are unique cells that utilize podosomes instead of focal adhesions for matrix attachment and cytoskeletal remodeling during motility. We have shown that osteopontin (OP) binding to the alpha(v)beta(3) integrin of osteoclast podosomes stimulated cytoskeletal reorganization and bone resorption by activating a heteromultimeric signaling complex that includes gelsolin, pp(60c-src), and phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase. Here we demonstrate that gelsolin deficiency blocks podosome ... [more]
