Query author contributions in Reactome
Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.
If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

| text | Osteocytes are mechanosensory cells in mineralized bone that have dendrites extending through lacunae (parallel with collagen fibers) and canaliculi (perpendicular to collagen fibers) to make contact with other osteocytes and with osteoblasts on the bone surface (reviewed in Moriishi and Komori 2022). Fluid flow and pressure in the lacunae and canaliculi are sensed by the dendrites and communicated to the cell body (inferred from mouse osteocytes in Burra et al. 2010), resulting in secretion of anabolic factors such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) that act to strengthen the bone (Siller-Jackson et al. 2008, Riquelme et al. 2021, reviewed in Zhao et al. 2023). Mechanosensitive PIEZO1 channels are opened by membrane stretch and transport calcium and sodium ions along their concentration gradients into the osteocyte. T-type voltage-sensitive calcium channels (CaV2 channles) open secondarily and augment the calcium influx. Cytosolic calcium activates Pannexin-1 (PANX1) channels, which transport ATP from the cytosol to the extracellular region. Extracellular ATP binds P2RX7 (P2X7) receptors located in a complex with PANX1. P2RX7 then transports cations including calcium into the cell and may act in an autocrine and paracrine manner to propagate waves of calcium influx. Integrin alphaV:beta3 (ITGAV:ITGB3) located in the plasma membrane of dendrites binds the extracellular matrix of the lacunar or canicular wall. Fluid flow activates ITGAV:ITGB3 to phosphorylate AKT1 via a PI3K-dependent mechanism (Riquelme et al. 2021). Phospho-AKT1 then phosphorylates integrin alpha5 (ITGA5) and Connexin43 (GJA1) located in a complex in the plasma membrane of the cell body. Phospho-GJA1 transports ATP (Kang et al. 2008) and PGE2 from the cytosol to the extracellular region (reviewed in Zhao et al. 2023). CaV3.2 voltage-sensitive calcium channels also directly interact with the extracellular proteoglycan perlecan (PLN, PLC, HSPG2) and the alpha2delta1 subunit of the CaV3.2 complex (Reyes Fernandez et al. 2022). Physical force on perlecan may thus affect calcium transport by the CaV3.2 channels. |
