in bone homeostasis - a process usually tightly controlled - by bone forming
osteoblasts and bone resorbing osteoclasts.
These products, including the major malarial by - product hemozoin, malarial proteins and as yet undefined virulence factors, induce MyD88 - dependent inflammatory responses

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

The Opotowski team, which found that low vitamin A levels had as great an effect lowering BMD as did high vitamin A levels, suggested that vitamin A deficiency may contribute to increased fracture risk by allowing bone matrix to grow faster than it can be mineralized.12 Indeed, although the net effect
of vitamin A is to stimulate osteoclasts and slow the growth
of osteoblasts, vitamin A also causes
osteoblasts to secrete a variety
of enzymes and other proteins that are important to bone mineralization, including osteocalcin, which is a protein that plays a direct role
in attracting and binding calcium within the bone matrix.6 By slowing the growth
of the matrix but increasing the rate at which it is mineralized, adequate vitamin A helps to ensure sufficient bone density.
