Osteoclasts from mice that lacked Del - 1 or from cell lines lacking the protein could be differentiated faster and stronger.

We added the optimal dose of IL - 6 required to promote maturation of
osteoclasts (Fig. 5I) to conditioned medium derived
from ABL1 / ABL2 knockdown breast cancer cells.
Through its various targets, MMP1 promotes not only tumor invasion but also breast cancer colonization to bone by mechanisms that include the release of membrane - bound EGF - like growth factors
from tumor cells, leading to activation of EGF receptor signaling and suppression of OPG expression in osteoblasts, which in turn promotes the differentiation and activation of
osteoclasts required for bone destruction and enhanced tumor growth in the bone microenvironment (32).
To evaluate whether ABL kinases might regulate the secretion of osteoblast - derived RANKL or OPG leading to
osteoclast differentiation, we analyzed RANKL and OPG mRNA abundance in the murine osteoblast cell line 7F2 in response to conditioned medium
from control and ABL1 / ABL2 knockdown breast cancer cells.
Addition of IL - 6 to reconstituted conditioned medium
from ABL1 / ABL2 - depleted breast cancer cells partially restored
osteoclast activation (Fig. 5, J and K).
