Subclinical thyroid dysfunction is common in older adults and affects bone metabolism, but its effects on fracture risk have not been reported. We sought to determine prospectively whether older men and women with subclinical hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism have an increased risk of hip fracture.

    We report that the mitogen- and stress-activated kinase 1 (MSK1) could be a potential druggable target. Using the breast cancer cell line T47D, we show that estrogens (E2) and progestins activate MSK1, which forms a complex with the corresponding hormone receptor. Inhibition of MSK1 activity with H8...

    We perform a genomic survey of the HECT family of E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases, an important part of this post-translational pathway, in genomes from representatives of all major eukaryotic lineages. We classify eukaryotic HECTs and reconstruct, by phylogenetic analysis, the putative repertoire of t...

    J Bone Miner Res (2013) PMID 23553711

    We have previously observed that Ccl2 and Ccl5 are direct target genes of non-canonical Wnt signaling in osteoblasts, we analyzed the skeletal phenotypes of Ccl2- and Ccl5-deficient mice. In line with previous studies Ccl2-deficient mice display a moderate reduction of osteoclastogenesis at the age...
