PU.1 and NFATc1 mediate osteoclastic induction of the mouse β<sub>3</sub> integrin promoter
20 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
Expression of the alpha(v)beta(3) integrin is required for normal osteoclast function. We previously showed that an evolutionary conserved NFATc1 binding site is required for RANKL induction and NFATc1 transactivation of the human beta(3) promoter. The mechanism conferring specificity for RANKL induction and NFATc1 transduction of the beta(3) gene in osteoclast differentiation is unclear since NFATc1 is expressed...
