Studies of the fate of the osteoclast
Project Summary/Abstract Osteoporosis is a common disease of aging, caused by a combination of increased osteoclastic (OC) bone resorption and decreased osteoblastic (OB) bone formation. Low-level chronic inflammation (LLCI), characterized by increased levels of pro-inflammatory factors induced by activated NF-κB signaling, contributes to the pathogenesis of age-related osteoporosis by stimulating OC and/or inhibiting OB differentiation. However, the molecular mechanisms by which LLCI induces bone loss remain incompletely understood. Our recently published findings indicate that protein levels of TNF receptor associated factor 3 (TRAF3), which negatively regulates NF-κB signaling, are…
