Interleukin-32 Promotes Osteoclast Differentiation but Not Osteoclast Activation
BACKGROUND Interleukin-32 (IL-32) is a newly described cytokine produced after stimulation by IL-2 or IL-18 and IFN-gamma. IL-32 has the typical properties of a pro-inflammatory mediator and although its role in rheumatoid arthritis has been recently reported its effect on the osteoclastogenesis process remains unclear. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In the present study, we have shown that I...
متن کاملERK5 Activation Is Essential for Osteoclast Differentiation
The MEK/ERK pathways are critical for controlling cell proliferation and differentiation. In this study, we show that the MEK5/ERK5 pathway participates in osteoclast differentiation. ERK5 was activated by M-CSF, which is one of the essential factors in osteoclast differentiation. Inhibition of MEK5 by BIX02189 or inhibition of ERK5 by XMD 8-92 blocked osteoclast differentiation. MEK5 knockdown...
متن کاملOsteoclast differentiation.
The osteoclast is the primary bone resorbing cell. It is a highly specialized multinucleated cell whose primary function is to help in the control of calcium homeostasis. The osteoclast has been very difficult to study because of its relative inaccessability, low numbers, and fragility when isolated from bone. Recently, techniques have been developed to study the cell biology of the osteoclast ...
متن کاملLymphoid differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells requires efficient Cxcr4 desensitization
The CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling exerts a dominant role in promoting hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) retention and quiescence in bone marrow. Gain-of-function CXCR4 mutations that affect homologous desensitization of the receptor have been reported in the WHIM Syndrome (WS), a rare immunodeficiency characterized by lymphopenia. The mechanisms underpinning this remain obscure. Using a mo...
متن کاملMorphological Differentiation of Oligodendrocytes Requires Activation of Fyn Tyrosine Kinase
In the central nervous system, myelination of axons occurs when oligodendrocyte progenitors undergo terminal differentiation and initiate process formation and axonal ensheathment. Although it is hypothesized that neuron-oligodendrocyte contact initiates this process, the molecular signals are not known. Here we find that Fyn tyrosine kinase activity is upregulated very early during oligodendro...
