Abstract
We evaluated the effects of decreasing interleukin-6 (IL-6) production by tumor cells and TAMs in a mouse model of bone metastasis. Human PC-3MM2 cells that produce IL-6 were transfected with lentivirus containing IL-6 small hairpin RNA (shRNA) or nonspecific RNA and injected into the tibias of nude...

Abstract
We observed that in vitro osteoclastogenesis varies among healthy individuals and hypothesized that increased osteoclastogenesis could be a marker for the presence of RA. Our objective in the present study was to determine if in vitro osteoclastogenesis from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs...

Abstract
We have developed two methods to induce osteoclasts, the bone matrix remodeling cells, from murine ESCs. Surprisingly, one of these induction methods produces osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and also endothelial cells in the same culture dish. Hence, it is likely that ESCs in culture mimic the in vivo dev...

Abstract
Bisphosphonates, especially nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs), are widely used to preserve and improve bone health in patients with cancer because they inhibit osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. In addition to their effects on bone, preclinical evidence strongly suggests...

Abstract
We report here that although ATP6v0d2-deficient (ATP6v0d2 KO) mice exhibit an osteopetrotic phenotype due to inefficient osteoclast maturation, this deficiency fails to protect mice from ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone loss, a model for post-menopause-associated osteoporosis. Moreover, we show that a...

We identified a novel interaction in human osteoclast-like cells between SQSTM1 and Autophagy-Linked FYVE domain-containing protein (ALFY/WDFY3). Endogenous ALFY and SQSTM1 both localised within the nuclei of osteoclasts and their mononuclear precursors. When osteoclasts were starved to induce autop...

Abstract
We have recently developed biodegradable, biocompatible nanoparticles (NP) made of a conjugate between poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolic) acid and alendronate, suitable for systemic administration, and directly targeting the site of tumor-induced osteolysis.

Evidence presented over the past 20 years has shown that long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs), especially the n-3 fatty acids such as eicospentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are beneficial for bone health. Some studies in humans indicate that LCPUFAs can increase bone f...

Abstract
We found that IP3R1 binds an endosomal isoform of the IP3R-associated cGMP-dependent kinase substrate (IRAG). IRAG is a substrate of cGMP-dependent kinase-1 (PKG1) and binds the PKG1 isoform PKG1β, which was the predominant form of PKG1 in human osteoclasts. Western blots of IRAG were consistent wi...

Abstract
Bone resorption is regulated by various cytokines. In postmenopausal osteoporosis, bone loss due to estrogen deficiency is closely related to the production of bone-resorbing cytokine. Especially, the increased production of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α could induce the expression of RANKL in bone tissues...

Abstract
Bone development is dependent on the functionality of three essential cell types: chondrocytes, osteoclasts and osteoblasts. If any of these cell types is dysfunctional, a developmental bone phenotype can result. The bone disease osteopetrosis is caused by osteoclast dysfunction or impaired osteocla...
