Osteopontin signaling in osteoclasts
    Osteopontin is  an RGD-containing bone matrix protein which plays a key role in osteoclast activation and  function.
    Osteopontin  binds through its alpha-V/beta-3 integrin receptor on the osteoclast plasma membrame and provides  osteoclasts attachment to bone surface [1]. Also it can bind to  CD44 surface receptor. CD44 is implicated in chemotaxis mediated by  Osteopontin [1], [2].
    In addition, Osteopontin plays a role in  regulating bone matrix stability by preventing Hydroxyapatite crystal growth and inhibiting tooth mineralization [3], [4].
    In osteoclasts, osteopontin acts through alpha-V/beta-3 integrin. Activated alpha-V/beta-3 integrin binds to V-src sarcoma viral oncogene homolog  (c-Src), which, subsequently, activates  Syk and VAV-3  which leads to RhoA activation  [5], [6]. RhoA binds  to PIP5KI and stimulates production of  PtdIns(4,5)P2 . PtdIns(4,5)P2  binds to DBS and, thus, promotes CDC42  activation [7]. CDC42 and  PtdIns(4,5)P2  binds to WASP and promotes its association with Arp2/3 and Actin cytoskeletal. It leads to the formation of actin ring and activation of  bone resorption [8], [9].
    Osteopontin-stimulated RhoA also activates phosphoinositide-3-kinase, probably via binding  to FAK1 and FAK1 activation of Phosphoinositide-3-kinase, PI3K reg class IA (p85-alpha) [10], [11]. In  addition, Osteopontin-activated  c-Src promotes PI3K reg class IA (p85-alpha) activation [12], [13]. It recruits  PI3K cat class IA (p110-alpha) and stimulates  synthesis of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3  and  PtdIns(4,5)P2 . PtdIns(3,4)P2 , PtdIns(3,4,5)P3   and PtdIns(4,5)P2  (produced by  the activated PIP5KI)  associate with Gelsolin. This  event promotes formation of the podosome, followed by uncapping the actin barbed ends,  actin filament elongation and, finally, osteoclast adhesion and migration to the bone  surface [9], [10], [14], [15].
    Osteopontin-activated c-Src induces phosphorylation of Pyk2(FAK2), which associates with p130CAS. p130CAS binds to  Gelsolin and promotes podosome formation and  osteoclast activation [16], [17].
    In addition, Osteopontin induces  RhoA-dependent ROCK2 activation, which leads to ROCK2-mediated phosphorylation of CD44 and MSN (moesin) and  surface expression of CD44. It also promotes  CD44 association with VIL2 (ezrin) and MSN (moesin)  and leads to actin cytoskeleton reorganization, thus increasing  osteoclast motility and bone resorption [2], [18].
