Stress influences on anoikis.
It long has been suspected that psychosocial factors affect cancer development and progression. Although the connections between stress and cancer causation are not strong, epidemiologic and clinical studies have provided strong links between cancer progression and several stress-related factors including chronic stress, depression, and social isolation. Recent molecular and biological studies ...
متن کاملOsteoclasts; culprits in inflammatory osteolysis
Periarticular osteolysis, a crippling complication of rheumatoid arthritis, is the product of enhanced osteoclast recruitment and activation. The osteoclast, which is a member of the monocyte/macrophage family, is the exclusive bone resorptive cell, and its differentiation and activation are under the aegis of a variety of cytokines. Receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage...
متن کاملOsteoclasts: Crucial in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Osteoclasts are a major component of bone metabolism in physiologic condition and in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is a chronic, autoimmune, inflammatory disease primarily affecting the joints. Joint inflammation leads to cartilage and bone destruction by osteoclast activation. This osteoclast activation leads to typical RA symptoms and is the therapeutic target. Several kinds of drugs are used...
متن کاملp66Shc mediates anoikis through RhoA
Detachment of parenchymal cells from a solid matrix switches contextual cues from survival to death during anoikis. Marked shape changes accompany detachment and are thought to trigger cell death, although a working model to explain the coordination of attachment sensation, shape change, and cell fate is elusive. The constitutive form of the adapter Shc, p52Shc, confers survival properties, whe...
متن کاملRac deletion in osteoclasts causes severe osteopetrosis.
Cdc42 mediates bone resorption principally by stimulating osteoclastogenesis. Whether its sister GTPase, Rac, meaningfully impacts upon the osteoclast and, if so, by what means, is unclear. We find that whereas deletion of Rac1 or Rac2 alone has no effect, variable reduction of Rac1 in osteoclastic cells of Rac2(-/-) mice causes severe osteopetrosis. Osteoclasts lacking Rac1 and Rac2 in combina...
