The role of dual specificity phosphatase 1 in pathological bone loss
2012-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Bone formation by osteoblasts (OBs) and bone resorption by osteoclasts (OCLs) is a tightly coupled and balanced process. In chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), this balance is disturbed and OCL activity exceeds that of OBs, leading to net bone loss or osteoporosis. Glucocorticoids (GC) are frequently used in treatment of inflammatory diseases. However, the long term use of GCs can lead...
