Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The following results were obtained; (1) Hypoxia inducible factor-related ACTIVE GLYCOLYSIS plays an essential role in macrophage migratory capacity. (2) A group of cation permeable channels is important for bone metabolism (3) The actin-binding molecule is important for extracellular release of osteolytic enzymes such as cathepsin K. (4) A necrosis inhibitor-sensitive pathway exists in the signal of osteoclast differentiation. (5) Nonlinear regression analysis can be used to compare the time-dependent changes in the number of osteoclasts differentiated in an inflammatory environment and normal condition. Although, this project provided insights into the inflammatory bone destruction, further research is truly needed to develop therapeutic drugs against inflammatory bone diseases.
