| Abstract | Experiments in vivo have established that tooth eruption fails in the absence of parathyroid hormone (PTH)-related protein (PTHrP) action in the microenvironment of the tooth because of the failure of osteoclastic bone resorption on the coronal tooth surface to form an eruption pathway. To elucidate the effects of PTHrP on osteoclast regulation in this environment, we established primary cultures of epithelial stellate reticulum cells and mesenchymal dental follicle (DF) cells surrounding the teeth. When cocultured, these cells are fully capable of supporting the formation of functional osteoclasts in the absence of added splenic osteoclast precursors, osteoblasts, or vitamin D/PTH/PTHrP. Neutralizing the effects of PTHrP resulted in a decrease in the number of osteoclasts formed, suggesting that stellate reticulum-derived PTHrP drives osteoclast formation. DF cells were found to express functional PTH/PTHrP type I receptors, and conditioned media collected from PTHrP-treated DF cells were able to induce bone resorption in the fetal-rat long-bone assay. PTHrP treatment also induced an increase in osteoclast differentiation factor expression and a concomitant decrease in osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor expression in DF cells. The addition of osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor resulted in a decrease in the number of osteoclasts formed in the cocultures, suggesting that osteoclast formation is mediated by osteoclast differentiation factor. Thus, PTHrP seems to regulate osteoclast formation via mediation of the DF, in a manner analogous to the osteoblast-mediated process in the peripheral skeleton. The primary coculture system of dental crypt cells also offers a system for the study of osteoclast formation and regulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
