| Abstract | Osteoblasts are the primary cells responsible for bone formation. They also support osteoclast formation from bone marrow precursors in response to osteotropic factors by inducing receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) expression and down-regulating osteoprotegerin (OPG) production. In addition to the RANKL-RANK-OPG signaling axis, other factors produced by osteoblasts/stromal cells are involved in osteoclastogenesis. Here, we describe the identification and characterization of leucine-rich repeat-containing 17 (LRRc17), a member of the LRR superfamily that acts as a negative regulator of RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation. Osteoblasts showed high levels of LRRc17 expression, which was down-regulated in response to the pro-osteoclastogenic factor 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3). Recombinant LRRc17 protein inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation from bone marrow precursors, whereas it did not affect the differentiation or activation of macrophages and dendritic cells. These results suggest that among the cell types derived from common myeloid precursors, LRRc17 specifically regulates osteoclasts. Further analysis revealed that LRRc17 attenuated RANKL-induced expression of NFATc1 by blocking phospholipase C-gamma signaling, which, in turn, inhibited RANKL-mediated osteoclast differentiation. Taken together, our results demonstrated a novel inhibitory activity of LRRc17 in RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. |

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.
