Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: We studied the effects of dominant negative N-cadherin (NCadDeltaC) expression in ST2 cells on their ability to support osteoclastogenesis. Expression of NCadDeltaC in ST2 cells did not decrease cell-to-cell adhesion but significantly reduced osteoclast formation when co-cultured with BMMs. NCadDeltaC inhibited beta-catenin/TCF signaling, resulting in decreased RANKL expression, which could contribute...
