Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) regulates osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast survival, in part through the induction of osteoprotegerin (OPG), a protein known to inhibit osteoclast formation and function. To explore the molecular basis of TGF-beta regulation of OPG expression, we evaluated the effects of TGF-beta on osteoclast formation, OPG protein secretion, mRNA expression, and gene transcription....
