Targeted Deletion of a Distant Transcriptional Enhancer of the Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-κB Ligand Gene Reduces Bone Remodeling and Increases Bone Mass
11 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) is essential for osteoclast differentiation, and hormones and cytokines that stimulate bone resorption increase RANKL expression in stromal/osteoblastic cells. We have previously shown that PTH and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) control murine RANKL gene expression in vitro, in part, via an evolutionarily conserved transcriptional enhancer, designated the...
