The effects of chitosan oligosaccharides on OPG and RANKL expression in a rat osteoarthritis model [PDF]

open access: yesActa Cirúrgica Brasileira, 2017
Purpose: To investigate the effect of chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) against osteoarthritis (OA) and preliminarily discuss the osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and RANK expression in a rat OA model.

Breast Cancer: Rank Ligand Inhibition [PDF]

open access: yesBreast Care, 2010
Breast cancer and bone health are closely linked. Early menopause induced by gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues or chemotherapy as well as aromatase inhibitors reduce oestrogen levels, thereby causing cancer treatment-induced bone loss (CTIBL). Furthermore, bone metastases are commonly found in advanced disease. Current treatment options for bone

Dynamics and thermodynamics of protein-ligand interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Complex networks of protein-ligand interactions underpin cellular function and communication. Disease can arise from disruption of these networks through the alteration of protein-ligand interaction affinities, for example by protein mutation or ligand ...

Lipopolysaccharide- TLR-4 Axis regulates Osteoclastogenesis independent of RANKL/RANK signaling

open access: yesBMC Immunology, 2021
Background Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is an endotoxin and a vital component of gram-negative bacteria’s outer membrane. During gram-negative bacterial sepsis, LPS regulates osteoclast differentiation and activity, in addition to increasing inflammation ...

Receptor activator of NF-kappaB and podocytes: towards a function of a novel receptor-ligand pair in the survival response of podocyte injury. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Glomerulosclerosis correlates with reduction in podocyte number that occurs through mechanisms which include apoptosis. Podocyte injury or podocyte loss in the renal glomerulus has been proposed as the crucial mechanism in the development of ...

TNF-family member Receptor Activator of NF-$B (RANK) and RANK-Ligand (RANKL) in bone remodelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Receptor Activator of NF-κB (RANK) and RANK-Ligand (RANKL) are members of the Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF)-superfamily involved in bone homeostasis. In a tightly controlled interplay of this receptor and ligand, bone is continuously being remodelled ...
