Activation of NFAT Signal In Vivo Leads to Osteopenia Associated with Increased Osteoclastogenesis and Bone-Resorbing Activity
1 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor family member NFAT plays an important role in the regulation of osteoclast differentiation. However, the role of NFAT in osteoclasts in vivo is still not fully understood. Thus, we generated transgenic mice in which constitutively active-NFAT1/NFATc2 (CA-NFAT1) is specifically expressed in the osteoclast lineage, using the tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase gene promoter. Both x-ray and...
