Osteoclasts possess inorganic phosphate ( P-i) transport systems to take up external P-i during bone resorption. In the present study, we characterized P-i transport in mouse osteoclast-like cells that were obtained by differentiation of macrophage RAW264.7 cells with receptor activator of NF-kappa B ligand ( RANKL). In undifferentiated RAW264.7 cells, P-i transport into the cells was Na+ dependent, but after treatment with RANKL, Na+-independent P-i transport was significantly increased. In addition, compared with neutral pH, the activity of the Na+-independent P-i transport system in the osteoclast-like cells was markedly enhanced at pH 5.5. The Na+-independent system consisted of two components with K-m of 0.35 mM and 7.5 mM. The inhibitors of P-i transport, phosphonoformic acid, and arsenate substantially decreased P-i transport. The proton ionophores nigericin and carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone as well as a K+ ionophore, valinomycin, significantly suppressed P-i transport activity. Analysis of BCECF fluorescence indicated that P-i transport in osteoclast-like cells is coupled to a proton transport system. In addition, elevation of extracellular K+ ion stimulated P-i transport, suggesting that membrane voltage is involved in the regulation of P-i transport activity. Finally, bone particles significantly increased Na+- independent P-i transport activity in osteoclast- like cells. Thus, osteoclast- like cells have a Pi transport system with characteristics that are different from those of other Na+- dependent P-i transporters. We conclude that stimulation of P-i transport at acidic pH is necessary for bone resorption or for production of the large amounts of energy necessary for acidification of the extracellular environment.
