Impaired micro-RNA pathways diminish osteoclast differentiation and function.
Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are important in regulating cell fate determination because many of their target mRNA transcripts are engaged in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. DGCR8, Dicer, and Ago2 are essential factors for miRNA homeostasis. Here we show that these three factors have critical roles in osteoclast differentiation and function. Gene silencing of DGCR8, Dicer, or Ago2 by...
متن کاملSignaling Pathways in Osteoclast Differentiation
Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells of hematopoietic origin that are responsible for the degradation of old bone matrix. Osteoclast differentiation and activity are controlled by two essential cytokines, macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL). M-CSF and RANKL bind to their respective receptors c-Fms and RANK to stimulate oste...
متن کاملIndoxyl sulphate inhibits osteoclast differentiation and function.
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) develop various bone abnormalities characterized by impaired bone remodelling. Recent data suggest that accumulation of the uraemic toxin indoxyl sulphate (IS) may be one of the factors involved in bone abnormalities in CKD patients. Indeed, it was recently reported that IS induces skeletal resistance to parathyroid hormone in cultured osteo...
متن کاملAfatinib ameliorates osteoclast differentiation and function through downregulation of RANK signaling pathways
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the third most common cancer that spreads to the bone, resulting in osteolytic lesions caused by hyperactivation of osteoclasts. Activating mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase (EGF-TK) are frequently associated with NSCLC, and afatinib is a first-line therapeutic drug, irreversibly targeting EGF-TK. However, the effects of afatinib...
متن کاملConnection between B lymphocyte and osteoclast differentiation pathways.
Osteoclasts differentiate from the hemopoietic monocyte/macrophage cell lineage in bone marrow through cell-cell interactions between osteoclast progenitors and stromal/osteoblastic cells. Here we show another osteoclast differentiation pathway closely connected with B lymphocyte differentiation. Recently the TNF family molecule osteoclast differentiation factor/receptor activator of NF-kappaB ...
