Journal ArticleDOI

Soluble interleukin-6 receptor triggers osteoclast formation by interleukin 6.

TL;DR: It is suggested that increased circulating or locally produced sIL-6R induces osteoclast formation in the presence of IL-6 mediated by a mechanism involving gp130, which may play an important physiological or pathological role in conditions associated with increased osteoclastic bone resorption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophage colony-stimulating factor is indispensable for both proliferation and differentiation of osteoclast progenitors.

TL;DR: Results clearly indicate that M-CSF is indispensable for both proliferation of osteoclast progenitors and their differentiation into mature osteoclasts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2, -3, -9, and -13) by interleukin-1 and interleukin-6 in mouse calvaria : Association of MMP induction with bone resorption

TL;DR: The potency of induction of MMPs by IL-1 and IL-6 is closely linked to the respective bone-resorbing activity, suggesting that MMP-dependent degradation of bone matrix plays a key role in bone resorption induced by these cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin (IL)-6 induction of osteoclast differentiation depends on IL-6 receptors expressed on osteoblastic cells but not on osteoclast progenitors.

TL;DR: The results clearly indicate that the ability of IL- 6 to induce osteoclast differentiation depends on signal transduction mediated by IL-6R expressed on osteoblastic cells but not on osteOClast progenitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endogenous bone-resorbing factors in estrogen deficiency: Cooperative effects of IL-1 and IL-6

TL;DR: The results suggest that the enhanced bone resorption that occurs during estrogen deficiency is due to multi‐factors rather than to a single factor.
