Tumor necrosis factor receptor family member RANK mediates osteoclast differentiation and activation induced by osteoprotegerin ligand

Abstract: A receptor that mediates osteoprotegerin ligand (OPGL)-induced osteoclast differentiation and activation has been identified via genomic analysis of a primary osteoclast precursor cell cDNA library and is identical to the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family member RANK. The RANK mRNA was highly expressed by isolated bone marrow-derived osteoclast progenitors and by mature osteoclasts in vivo. Recombinant OPGL binds specifically to RANK expressed by transfected cell lines and purified osteoclast progen… Show more

“…RANK mRNA is expressed in many tissues, including skeletal muscle, liver, small intestine and colon, thymus, and adrenal gland (9), yet expression of RANK protein appears to be restricted to osteoclasts and osteoclast precursor cells, T cells, dendritic cells, and endothelial cells (9)(10)(11)32). This study is the first to show that freshly isolated CD14ϩ PBMCs express not only RANK mRNA but also RANK immunoreactivity on their surface, as shown by FACS analysis.…”

“…RANKL mediates osteoclastogenesis as well as osteoclast activation and survival in vivo via its receptor RANK (10,11). RANK mRNA is expressed in many tissues, including skeletal muscle, liver, small intestine and colon, thymus, and adrenal gland (9), yet expression of RANK protein appears to be restricted to osteoclasts and osteoclast precursor cells, T cells, dendritic cells, and endothelial cells (9)(10)(11)32).…”

“…RANK, a heterotrimer containing 3 molecular intracellular domains (I, II, and III), belongs to the TNF receptor superfamily. It is expressed on the surface of hematopoietic osteoclast progenitors, mature osteoclasts, chondrocytes, mammary gland epithelial cells, trophoblast cells, dendritic cells (DCs), mature T cells, and hematopoietic precursors (4,20). Binding of RANK with its ligand RANKL results in osteoclastogenesis of monocyte/macrophage progenitor cells to osteoclasts and activation of mature osteoclasts (7,20).…”

“…Recruitment and maturation of osteoclasts for bone resorption require two important molecules, colony-stimulating factor (Felix et al, 1990;Cecchini et al, 1997) and receptor activator of NF-jB ligand (RANKL) (Hsu et al, 1999;Wada et al, 2006), both of which are expressed by osteoblasts. The binding of RANKL to the RANK receptor on osteoclasts activates osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption.…”
