Osteoclasts are acid-secreting polykaryons that have high energy demands and contain abundant mitochondria. How mitochondrial biogenesis is integrated with osteoclast differentiation is unknown. We found that the transcription of Ppargc1b, which encodes peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1beta (PGC-1beta), was induced during osteoclast differentiation by cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) as a result of reactive oxygen species. Knockdown of Ppargc1b in vitro inhibited osteoclast differentiation and mitochondria biogenesis, whereas deletion of the Ppargc1b gene in mice resulted in increased bone mass due to impaired osteoclast function. We also observed defects in PGC-1beta-deficient osteoblasts. Owing to the heightened iron demand in osteoclast development, transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) expression was induced post-transcriptionally via iron regulatory protein 2. TfR1-mediated iron uptake promoted osteoclast differentiation and bone-resorbing activity, associated with the induction of mitochondrial respiration, production of reactive oxygen species and accelerated Ppargc1b transcription. Iron chelation inhibited osteoclastic bone resorption and protected against bone loss following estrogen deficiency resulting from ovariectomy. These data establish mitochondrial biogenesis orchestrated by PGC-1beta, coupled with iron uptake through TfR1 and iron supply to mitochondrial respiratory proteins, as a fundamental pathway linked to osteoclast activation and bone metabolism.
