Differentiation of osteoclasts (OCs) from hematopoietic cells requires cellular interaction with osteoblasts (OBs). Due to the difficulty of live-imaging in the bone, however, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying intercellular communication involved in OC differentiation are still elusive. Here, we develop a fracture healing model using the scale of trap:GFP; osterix:mCherry transgenic zebrafish to visualize the interaction between OCs and OBs. Transplantation assays followed by flow cytometric analysis reveal that most trap:GFP(high) OCs in the fractured scale are detected in the osterix:mCherry(+) fraction because of uptake of OB-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). In vivo live-imaging shows that immature OCs actively interact with osterix:mCherry(+) OBs and engulf EVs prior to convergence at the fracture site. In vitro cell culture assays show that OB-derived EVs promote OC differentiation via Rankl signaling. Collectively, these data suggest that EV-mediated intercellular communication with OBs plays an important role in the differentiation of OCs in bone tissue.Kobayashi-Sun et al. characterise the healing of fractured bone in the transgenic zebrafish scale by transplantation assays and live imaging, revealing that immature osteoclasts engulf osteoblast-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) under fracture stress, leading to osteoclast differentiation. This study provides insights into the role of EVs in osteoclastogenesis.
