Abstract excerpt
K7M2 mouse osteosarcoma cells form lytic tumors and are deficient in osterix (Osx), a zinc finger-containing transcription factor required for osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. Our previous studies showed that replacement of Osx suppresses lytic bone destruction. Cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1alpha, IL-6, IL-11, and prostaglandin E2, have been shown to stimulate osteoclast activity. We...
