New insight into unexpected bone formation by denosumab

Wang, Lipeng, Huang, Biaotong, Chen, Xiao, Su, Jiacan·2020·Drug Discovery Today

Abstract

Denosumab (Dmab) was the first monoclonal antibody (mAb) approved for the treatment of osteoporosis. It blocks the receptor activator for nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and acts as a potent antiresorptive agent. In contrast to classic antiresorptive agents, Dmab treatment leads to a progressive increase in bone mass, but the mechanisms remain controversial. Recently, RANKL signaling in osteoblastogenesis and bone formation and RANKL reverse signaling in coupling bone resorption and formation were demonstrated. Thus, here we discuss the roles of RANKL signaling and RANKL reverse signaling in the bone-forming effects of Dmab.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • It is more likely that DMAB blocks RANKL expressed on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, through which it negatively regulates osteogenic differentiation.

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.
