Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-11: a new cytokine critical for osteoclast development.

TL;DR: It is reported here that IL-11, a newly discovered cytokine that is produced by marrow stromal cells, induced the formation of osteoclasts exhibiting an unusually high degree of ploidy in cocultures of murine bone marrow and calvarial cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased interleukin-6 production by murine bone marrow and bone cells after estrogen withdrawal

TL;DR: It is established that estrogen loss causes an up-regulation of IL-6 production by bone marrow cells and that a similar phenomenon can be elicited in vitro by withdrawal of 17 beta-estradiol from primary cultures of bone cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Demonstration of estrogen and vitamin D receptors in bone marrow-derived stromal cells: up-regulation of the estrogen receptor by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D3

TL;DR: It is found that bone marrow-derived stromal cells express functional estrogen as well as vitamin D receptors, which serve to mediate actions of their respective ligands on the biosynthetic activity of these cells and presumably the effects of these two steroid hormones on osteoclastogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endogenous production of tumor necrosis factor by primary cultures of murine calvarial cells: influence on IL-6 production and osteoclast development.

TL;DR: It is suggested that TNF, but not IL-1, is produced by murine bone cells and that endogenous TNF induces the IL-6 production, osteoclast formation, and bone resorption exhibited by these cultures under basal conditions.
