Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptors in Osteoclast Lineage Cells Are a Negative Regulator of Bone Mass
Aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AhRs) play a critical role in various pathological and physiological processes. Although recent research has identified AhRs as a key contributor to bone metabolism following studies in systemic AhR knockout (KO) or transgenic mice, the cellular and molecular mechanism(s) in this process remain unclear. In this study, we explored the function of AhR in bone metabolis...
متن کاملCells of the osteoclast lineage as mediators of the anabolic actions of parathyroid hormone in bone.
PTH is an anabolic agent used to treat osteoporosis, but its mechanisms of action are unclear. This study elucidated target cells and mechanisms for anabolic actions of PTH in mice during bone growth. Mice with c-fos ablation are osteopetrotic and lack an anabolic response to PTH. In this study, there were no alterations in PTH-regulated osteoblast differentiation or proliferation in vitro in c...
متن کاملAryl Hydrocarbon Receptor and Stem Cells
From the biochemical point of view, the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a highly conserved, developmentally regulated, and ligand-activated member of the bHLH/PAS family of transcription factors. The AHR was originally discovered because of the human and animal toxicity of its most potent and persistent ligand, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-pdioxin, usually just referred to as “dioxin.” The can...
متن کاملBreast Cancer Stem-Like Cells Are Inhibited by a Non-Toxic Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Agonist
BACKGROUND Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have increased resistance to cancer chemotherapy. They can be enriched as drug-surviving CSCs (D-CSCs) by growth with chemotherapeutic drugs, and/or by sorting of cells expressing CSC markers such as aldehyde dehydrogenase-1 (ALDH). CSCs form colonies in agar, mammospheres in low-adherence cultures, and tumors following xenotransplantation in Scid mice. We hy...
متن کاملIn vitro differentiation of lineage-negative bone marrow cells into microglia-like cells.
Microglia are believed to be the only resident immune cells in the CNS, originating from hematopoietic-derived myeloid cells and invading the CNS during development. However, the detailed mechanisms of differentiation and transformation of microglial cells are not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that murine microglial cells show two morphological forms in vitro, namely, small round cells...
