B (RANK) has yet to be established. In this study, we
demonstrate that the raft microdomain expression plays an essential
role in osteoclast function and differentiation. Expression of raft
component flotillin greatly increased during osteoclast
differentiation, whereas engagement of RANK induced the translocation
of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 to rafts where
Src was constitutively resident. Disruption of rafts blocked TRAF6
translocation and Akt activation by RANK ligand in osteoclasts and
further reduced the survival of osteoclasts. Actin ring formation and
bone resorption by osteoclasts were also found to require the integrity
of rafts. Our observations demonstrate for the first time that
RANK-mediated signaling and osteoclast function are critically
dependent on the expression and integrity of raft membrane microdomains.
