Osteoprotegerin, a crucial regulator of bone metabolism, also regulates B cell development and function.

Open access

Abstract

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a CD40-regulated gene in B cells and dendritic cells (DCs). We investigated the role of OPG in the immune system by generating opg−/− mice. Like its role as a regulator of bone metabolism, OPG also influences processes in the immune system, notably in B cell development. Ex vivo, opg−/− pro-B cells have enhanced proliferation to IL-7, and in opg−/− spleen, there is an accumulation of type 1 transitional B cells. Furthermore, opg−/− bone marrow-derived DCs are more effective in stimulating allogeneic T cells than control DCs. When challenged with a T-dependent Ag, opg−/− mice had a compromised ability to sustain an IgG3 Ag-specific response. Thus, in the immune system, OPG regulates B cell maturation and development of efficient Ab responses.

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.
