PG - 8743-8749 LID - 10.1002/jcb.27470 [doi] AB - Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling plays important physiological roles in bone homeostasis by regulating multiple steps of osteoblast differentiation as well as its activity. However, its potential role in osteocytes has not been explored. In this study, we deleted Raptor, a specific and essential component of mTORC1, in osteocytes using Dmp1-Cre. Deletion of Raptor in osteocytes did not affect bone development and growth, but caused compartment-specific effects on bone mass. Osteocyte-specific deletion of Raptor had no obvious effect on cortical bone compartments, but led to increased trabecular bone mass. Mechanistically, Raptor deletion resulted in decreased bone resorption without altering bone formation activity. Thus, our study revealed an unexpected role of osteocyte-intrinsic mTORC1 signaling in limiting trabecular bone mass, suggesting that osteocyte-specific inhibition of mTORC1 may be used as a novel approach to treatment of osteoporosis.
