Osteoporosis, which results from excessive bone resorption by osteoclasts, is the major cause of morbidity for elder people. Identification of clinically relevant regulators is needed to develop novel therapeutic strategies. Rho GTPases have essential functions in osteoclasts by regulating actin dynamics. This is of particular importance because actin cytoskeleton is essential to generate the s...
Osteopontin (OPN) was expressed in murine wild-type osteoclasts, localized to the basolateral, clear zone, and ruffled border membranes, and deposited in the resorption pits during bone resorption. The lack of OPN secretion into the resorption bay of avian osteoclasts may be a component of their functional resorption deficiency in vitro. Osteoclasts deficient in OPN were hypomotile and exhibite...
The stem of Acer tegmentosum has been widely used in Korea for the treatment of hepatic disorders. In this study, we investigated the bone protective effect of water extract of the stem of Acer tegmentosum (WEAT). We found that WEAT inhibits osteoclast differentiation induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), an essential cytokine for osteoclast differentiation. In oste...
Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) has been shown to inhibit interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) stimulated bone resorption by strongly stimulating nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. Here we studied the mechanisms underlying this inhibition. Osteoclasts were generated in 10-day cocultures of mouse osteoblasts and bone marrow cells and the effect of cytokine-induced NO on osteoc...
Interleukin-7 (IL-7), which is required for the development and survival of T cells in the thymus and periphery, plays a role in joint destruction. However, it remains unclear how IL-7 affects osteoclast formation. Thus, we investigated the mechanism by which IL-7 induced osteoclast formation through IL-7 receptor α (IL-7Rα) in osteoclast precursors. We cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cel...
Glucocorticoid administration to mice results in a rapid loss of bone mineral density due to an imbalance in osteoblast and osteoclast numbers. Whereas excess glucocorticoids reduce both osteoblast and osteoclast precursors, cancellous osteoclast number surprisingly does not decrease as does osteoblast number, presumably due to the ability of glucocorticoids to promote osteoclast life span. Whe...
Osteoclast-like giant cell tumor of the pancreas is a rare non-endocrine neoplasm composed of reactive multinucleated giant cells admixed with mononuclear stromal cells. We report a case of osteoclast-like giant cell tumor of the pancreas in a 58-year-old female with vague clinical symptoms. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided aspirate from the mass revealed numerous characteristic osteoclast-like gia...
Receptor activity modifying proteins (RAMPs) act as receptor modulators that determine the ligand specificity of receptors for the calcitonin (CT) family. The purpose of this study was to analyze the expression of RAMPs in osteoclast-like cells using the laser capture microdissection (LCM) technique. Mouse bone marrow and spleen cells were co-cultured on a film designed for LCM. After 10 days, ...
