Journal ArticleDOI
Osteoclast differentiation and activation
TL;DR: Discovery of the RANK signalling pathway in the osteoclast has provided insight into the mechanisms of osteoporosis and activation of bone resorption, and how hormonal signals impact bone structure and mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osteoprotegerin Ligand Is a Cytokine that Regulates Osteoclast Differentiation and Activation
David L. Lacey,Emma Timms,Hong-Lin Tan,Michael J. Kelley,Colin R. Dunstan,Tim Burgess,Robin Elliott,Anne Colombero,Gary Elliott,S. Scully,Hailing Hsu,John K. Sullivan,Nessa Hawkins,E. Davy,C. Capparelli,Alana Eli,Yi-xin Qian,Steve Kaufman,Ildiko Sarosi,Victoria Shalhoub,Giorgio Senaldi,Jane Guo,John M. Delaney,William J. Boyle +23 more
TL;DR: The effects of OPGL are blocked in vitro and in vivo by OPG, suggesting that OPGl and OPG are key extracellular regulators of osteoclast development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osteoprotegerin: A Novel Secreted Protein Involved in the Regulation of Bone Density
William S. Simonet,David L. Lacey,Colin R. Dunstan,Michael J. Kelley,Ming-Shi Chang,R Lüthy,Hung Q. Nguyen,S Wooden,L Bennett,Tom Boone,Grant Shimamoto,Margaret L. DeRose,Robin Elliott,Anne Colombero,Hong-Lin Tan,Geraldine Trail,John K. Sullivan,E. Davy,N. Bucay,L Renshaw-Gegg,T.M Hughes,Dave Hill,W Pattison,Patricia Shehan Campbell,S Sander,Gwyneth Van,John E. Tarpley,P Derby,Richard Lee,William J. Boyle +29 more
TL;DR: Data show that OPG can act as a soluble factor in the regulation of bone mass and imply a utility for OPG in the treatment of osteoporosis associated with increased osteoclast activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
OPGL is a key regulator of osteoclastogenesis, lymphocyte development and lymph-node organogenesis
Young-Yun Kong,Hiroki Yoshida,Ildiko Sarosi,Hong-Lin Tan,Emma Timms,Casey Capparelli,Sean Morony,Antonio J. Oliveira-dos-Santos,Gwyneth Van,Annick Itie,Wilson Khoo,Andrew Wakeham,Colin R. Dunstan,David L. Lacey,Tak W. Mak,William J. Boyle,Josef M. Penninger +16 more
TL;DR: OPGL is a new regulator of lymph-node organogenesis and lymphocyte development and is an essential osteoclast differentiation factor in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
osteoprotegerin-deficient mice develop early onset osteoporosis and arterial calcification
N. Bucay,Ildiko Sarosi,Colin R. Dunstan,Sean Morony,John E. Tarpley,C. Capparelli,S. Scully,Hong Lin Tan,Weilong Xu,David L. Lacey,William J. Boyle,William S. Simonet +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that OPG is a critical regulator of postnatal bone mass and regulation of OPG, its signaling pathway, or its ligand(s) may play a role in the long observed association between osteoporosis and vascular calcification.
