Abstract

Global deletion of murine Bmal1 led to low bone mass and increased bone resorption.

  • The Clock system in osteoblasts may regulate bone mass and resorption.
  • Oscillatory rhythmic expression of Bmal1 and Per1 was observed in the bone in vivo and in cultured osteoblasts.
  • Bmal1-deficient osteoblasts demonstrated an increased capacity to support the formation of bone-resorbing cells called osteoclasts.
  • Deletion of Bmal1 in osteoblasts alone was sufficient to replicate the low bone mass phenotype.
  • 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D enhanced Rankl expression more strongly in Bmal1-deficient conditions.
