“…Human osteoblasts have been reported to produce several hematopoietic cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-7, G-CSF, M-CSF, GM-CSF, tumor necrosis factor-α, LIF, OPG, receptor activator of NF-ĸB ligand, SDF-1, VEGF, and osteoclast differentiation factor [1, 2,10,11,12], and not to produce IL-1α, IL-3, or SCF [10]. However, in our experiment, human osteoblasts did not produce IL-7, G-CSF, M-CSF, or GM-CSF.…”
