The role of NFAT in osteoclast formation

TAKAYANAGI, HIROSHI·2007·Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences

Abstract

Osteoclasts are cells of monocyte-macrophage origin that degrade bone matrix. Receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) induces osteoclast formation in the presence of macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and costimulatory signals. RANKL induces activation of the TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) and c-Fos pathways, which lead to the osteoclast-specific event, that is, autoamplification of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)c1, the master transcription factor for osteoclast differentiation. Autoamplification of NFATc1 is dependent on the calcium signaling of immunoglobulin-like receptors associated with immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-harboring adaptors. In addition to the calcineurin-NFATc1 axis, calcium signaling activates the calmodulin-dependent kinase pathway, which also plays a critical role in osteoclast formation. Such advances in the understanding of the molecular mechanism of osteoclast differentiation are expected to lead to novel therapeutic approaches to bone diseases.

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

  • The calcineurin pathway is a key costimulatory pathway of NFATc1 and an important signaling component of a number of immune cell receptors.

    “This activates cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) response element-binding protein (CREB) and the calcineurin pathway [21,24,25,27], a key costimulatory pathway of NFATc1 [21,23] and an important signaling component of a number of immune cell receptors [28] (Figure 4 and Figure 5).”

  • NFATc1 binds to its own promoter, switching on an epigenetically controlled autoregulatory cycle that permits efficient induction of TRAP, cathepsin K, DC-STAMP, and ATP6v0d2.

    “NFATc1 binds to its own promoter, switching on an epigenetically controlled autoregulatory cycle that permits efficient induction of the osteoclast-specific genes, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), cathepsin K, as well as the fusion-specific genes, dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP) and ATPase H+ transporting V0 subunit D2 (ATP6v0d2) [20,25,26] (Figure 3).”

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.
