The enhanced receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (NFκB) ligand (RANKL) and its receptor (RANK) signal have been reported to attenuate ischemic brain injury through inhibition of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4-mediated inflammation. However, augmentation of the RANKL/RANK signal also accelerates osteoporosis, which is a potential problem in clinical use of RANKL. Therefore, we developed novel pe...
A number of studies in model animal systems and in the clinic have established that RANKL promotes bone resorption. Paradoxically, we found that pulsing ovariectomized mice with low-dose RANKL suppressed bone resorption, decreased the levels of proinflammatory effector T cells and led to increased bone mass. This effect of RANKL is mediated through the induction of FoxP3+CD25+ regulatory CD8+ T...
The OPG/RANKL/RANK cytokine system is essential for osteoclast biology. Various studies suggest that human metabolic bone diseases are related to alterations of this system. Here we summarize OPG/RANKL/RANK abnormalities in different forms of osteoporoses and hyperparathyroidism. Skeletal estrogen agonists (including 17beta-estradiol, raloxifene, and genistein) induce osteoblastic OPG productio...
The "blood vulnerability", resulting from the complex balance between serum molecules and inflammatory cell atherosclerotic activities, is a major determinant in the evaluation of the "global patient cardiovascular vulnerability". In the present study, we focused on the role of the soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL, a potential marker of coronary calcifi...
In the differentiation of osteoclasts the differentiation factor (RANKL) interacts with the receptor activator of NF-kappaB (RANK) in a direct cell-to-cell contact between osteoblast and (pre)osteoclast. This is inhibited by soluble osteoprotegerin (OPG). The mRNA levels of both RANKL (p < 0.01) and RANK (p < 0.05) were high in peri-implant tissue and RANKL+ and RANK+ cells were found in such t...
Bone homeostasis critically relies on the RANKL-RANK-OPG axis which can be targeted by the fully human monoclonal antibody denosumab in conditions with increased bone resporption such as bone metastases. The binding site and therefore the molecular mechanism by which this antibody inhibits RANKL has not been characterized so far. Here, we used random peptide phage display library screenings to ...
An essential cytokine system for the osteoclast biology in multiple myeloma (MM) consists of the receptor of activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), its receptor (RANK), and the soluble decoy receptor, osteoprotegerin (OPG). Myeloma cells cause imbalance in OPG/RANKL interactions. We measured serum levels of OPG, soluble (s) RANKL, sRANKL/OPG ratio, markers of disease activity [LDH, CRP, interleukin...
Bone is a major storage site for TGFbeta superfamily members, including TGFbeta and bone morphogenetic proteins. It is believed that these cytokines are released from bone during bone resorption. Recent studies have shown that both RANKL and macrophage colony-stimulating factor are two essential factors produced by osteoblasts for inducing osteoclast differentiation. In the present study we exa...
BACKGROUND Breast cancer patients treated with aromatase inhibitors (AIs) may experience musculoskeletal adverse events (MS-AEs). Several studies have confirmed that the RANKL/RANK/OPG signaling pathway plays a dominant role in bone health. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between the serum levels of RANKL, OPG and their SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) with AI-rela...
Production of the cytokine receptor activator of NFκB ligand (RANKL) by lymphocytes has been proposed as a mechanism by which sex steroid deficiency causes bone loss. However, there have been no studies that functionally link RANKL expression in lymphocytes with bone loss in this condition. Herein, we examined whether RANKL expression in either B or T lymphocytes contributes to ovariectomy-indu...
