Expression of Measles Virus Nucleocapsid Protein in Osteoclasts Induces Paget's Disease-Like Bone Lesions in Mice
1 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: We targeted the MVNP gene to the OCL lineage in transgenic mice. These mice developed abnormal OCLs and bone lesions similar to those found in Paget's patients. These results show that persistent expression of MVNP in OCLs can induce pagetic-like bone lesions in vivo. INTRODUCTION: Paget's disease (PD) of bone is the second most common bone disease. Both genetic and viral factors have been implicated...
