The macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and {alpha}vß3 integrins play critical roles in osteoclast function. This study examines M-CSF– and adhesion-induced signaling in prefusion osteoclasts (pOCs) derived from Src-deficient and wild-type mice. Src-deficient cells attach to but do not spread on vitronectin (Vn)-coated surfaces and, contrary to wild-type cells, their adhesion does not lead to tyrosine phosphorylation of molecules activated by adhesion, including PYK2, p130Cas, paxillin, and PLC-{gamma}. However, in response to M-CSF, Src-/- pOCs spread and migrate on Vn in an {alpha}vß3-dependent manner. Involvement of PLC-{gamma} activation is suggested by using a PLC inhibitor, U73122, which blocks both adhesion- and M-CSF–mediated cell spreading. Furthermore, in Src-/- pOCs M-CSF, together with filamentous actin, causes recruitment of ß3 integrin and PLC-{gamma} to adhesion contacts and induces stable association of ß3 integrin with PLC-{gamma}, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and PYK2. Moreover, direct interaction of PYK2 and PLC-{gamma} can be induced by either adhesion or M-CSF, suggesting that this interaction may enable the formation of integrin-associated complexes. Furthermore, this study suggests that in pOCs PLC-{gamma} is a common downstream mediator for adhesion and growth factor signals. M-CSF–initiated signaling modulates the {alpha}vß3 integrin-mediated cytoskeletal reorganization in prefusion osteoclasts in the absence of c-Src, possibly via PLC-{gamma}.

Key Words: {alpha}vß3 integrins, osteoclasts, M-CSF, Src kinases, phospholipase C{gamma}
