Negative regulation of osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption by cytokines and transcriptional repressors

Open access
Zhao, Baohong, Ivashkiv, Lionel B·2011·Arthritis Research & Therapy

Abstract

Bone remodeling in physiological and pathological conditions represents a balance between bone resorption mediated by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. Bone resorption is tightly and dynamically regulated by multiple mediators, including cytokines that act directly on osteoclasts and their precursors, or indirectly by modulating osteoblast lineage cells that in turn regulate osteoclast differentiation. The critical role of cytokines in inducing and promoting osteoclast differentiation, function and survival is covered by the accompanying review by Zwerina and colleagues. Recently, it has become clear that negative regulation of osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption by inflammatory factors and cytokines, downstream signaling pathways, and a newly described network of transcriptional repressors plays a key role in bone homeostasis by fine tuning bone remodeling and restraining excessive bone resorption in inflammatory settings. In this review we discuss negative regulators of osteoclastogenesis and mechanisms by which these factors suppress bone resorption.

  • IL-4 limits bone resorption by promoting OPG expression and suppressing expression of RANKL, RANK, NF-κB, c-Fos, NFATc1, MAPK, and calcium signaling during osteoclast formation.

    “Furthermore, Zhao and Ivashkiv reported that IL-4 limits bone resorption by promoting OPG expression and suppressing the expression of RANKL, RANK, NF-κB, c-Fos, NFATc1, MAPK, and calcium signaling during osteoclast formation [42].”

  • IL-10 limits osteoclast formation by inhibiting expression of c-Fos, c-Jun, TREM2, and NFATc1 in osteoclast precursors.

    “Additionally, Zhao and Ivashkiv reported that IL-10 limits osteoclast formation by inhibiting the expression of c-Fos, c-Jun, TREM2, and NFATc1 in osteoclast precursors [42].”

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.
