In order to elucidate the molecular events involved in periarticular osteopenia following joint immobilization, we investigated the temporal and spatial gene expression of one of the major non-collagenous bone matrix proteins, osteopontin (OPN), in periarticular regions, after immobilizing rat knee joints. Significant decreases in total BMD was observed in the immobilized limbs after 2 weeks of immobilization. Histologically, multinucleated cells with positive staining for tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) were significantly increased in the metaphyseal regions, 1 to 4 weeks following immobilization. In situ hybridization studies revealed that OPN mRNA was present in a significantly larger number of cells in the metaphysial regions of joints immobilized for 1 to 3 weeks; compared with those levels detected in the control limbs, OPN mRNA was mainly detected in osteoblast/osteocyte-lineage cells of the spongiosa. Such temporal and spatial similarities in the expression of TRAP-positive multinucleated cells and OPN transcripts suggest the possible involvement of OPN in the periarticular osteoclastogenesis, leading to the activation of regional bone resorption following joint immobilization.
