Abstract

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is an essential secreted protein in bone turnover due to its role as a decoy receptor for the Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-kB ligand (RANKL) in the osteoclasts, thus inhibiting their differentiation. However, there are additional ligands of OPG that confer various biological functions. OPG can promote cell survival, cell proliferation and facilitates migration by binding TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL), glycosaminoglycans or proteoglycans. A large number of in vitro, pre-clinical and clinical studies provide evidences of OPG involvement in vascular, bone, immune and tumor biology. This review describes an overview of the different OPG ligands regulating its biological functions.

  • Increased RANK signaling may be involved in the regulation of bone growth and remodeling induced by ACVR2B/Fc.

    “Because TRAIL and RANKL are known to regulate osteoclast differentiation and survival (33–35), these findings suggest that increased RANK (tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 11a) signaling may be involved in the regulation of bone growth and remodeling induced by ACVR2B/Fc.”

    From Targeting myostatin/activin A protects against skeletal muscle and bone loss during spaceflight (2020) · cites this paper as [35]

    The citation is attached to the premise about osteoclast differentiation and survival; the ACVR2B/Fc mechanism is the citing authors’ own inference. In “RANKL and TRAIL: ligands from the TNF family” (page unavailable), the source says RANKL–RANK signaling regulates osteoclast differentiation and survival, but it does not establish the same role for TRAIL. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    In “RANKL and TRAIL: ligands from the TNF family” (page unavailable), the paper says RANKL–RANK signaling is involved in osteoclast differentiation and survival. It discusses TRAIL-induced apoptosis in other cell types, but does not say TRAIL regulates osteoclast differentiation or survival. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
