ABSTRACT
Osteofibrous dysplasia (OFD) is a rare, benign, fibro-osseous lesion that occurs most commonly in the tibia of children. Tibial involvement leads to bowing and predisposes to the development of a fracture which exhibit significantly delayed healing processes, leading to prolonged morbidity. We previously identified gain-of-function mutations in the MET gene as a cause for OFD. In our present study, we test the hypothesis that gain-of-function MET mutations impair bone repair due to reduced osteoblast differentiation. A heterozygous Met exon 15 skipping (MetΔ15-HET) mouse was created to imitate the human OFD mutation. The mutation results in aberrant and dysregulation of MET-related signaling determined by RNA-seq in the murine osteoblasts extracted from the wide-type and genetic mice. Although no gross skeletal defects were identified in the mice, fracture repair was delayed in MetΔ15-HET mice, with decreased bone formation observed 2-week postfracture. Our data are consistent with a novel role for MET-mediated signaling regulating osteogenesis.
