Abstract excerpt
Coupled bone turnover is directed by the expression of receptor-activated NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and its decoy receptor, osteoprotegerin (OPG). Proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) induce RANKL expression in bone marrow stromal cells. Here, we report that IL-1beta and TNF-alpha-induced RANKL requires p38 mitogen-activating protein kinase...
