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.
Not exact matches
Osteoblasts modulate osteoclast activity through
secretion of the TNF family member RANKL (receptor activator
of nuclear factor κB ligand).
Finally, acute changes in blood calcium concentrations do not seem to elicit the
secretion of the phosphaturic hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF - 23), which is produced by bone - forming cells (
osteoblasts / osteocytes) in response to increases in phosphorus intake (see the article on Phosphorus)(2).
