Apoptotic metabolites ameliorate bone aging phenotypes via TCOF1/FLVCR1-mediated mitochondrial homeostasis.

Over 50 billion cells undergo apoptosis each day in an adult human to maintain tissue homeostasis by eliminating damaged or unwanted cells. Apoptotic deficiency can lead to age-related diseases with reduced apoptotic metabolites. However, whether apoptotic metabolism regulates aging is unclear.

Extracellular vesicles in osteoarthritis of peripheral joint and temporomandibular joint.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disabling disease with significant morbidity worldwide. OA attacks the large synovial joint, including the peripheral joints and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). As a representative of peripheral joint OA, knee OA shares similar symptoms with TMJ OA.

Dual Role of Interleukin-20 in Different Stages of Osteoclast Differentiation and Its Osteoimmune Regulation during Alveolar Bone Remodeling.

Osteoimmunology mediators are critical to balance osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis to maintain bone homeostasis. A lot of the osteoimmunology mediators are regulated by interleukin-20 (IL-20). However, little is known about the role of IL-20 in bone remodeling.

Inhibitory effect of infliximab on orthodontic tooth movement in male rats.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of infliximab on orthodontic tooth movement in rats.

Materials And Methods: Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups: saline group and infliximab group. The two groups of rats received weekly intraperitoneally injection of saline or infliximab (5 mg/kg), respectively.

γ-Secretase inhibitors suppress IL-20-mediated osteoclastogenesis via Notch signalling and are affected by Notch2 in vitro.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic immune disease involving the small joints, which often causes irreversible damage. In recent years, elevated interleukin 20 (IL-20) has been observed in synovial fluid, while IL-20 receptor overexpression has been observed in synovial cells. IL-20 is a pleiotropic cytokine that participates in various immune diseases.

Interleukin-20 Acts as a Promotor of Osteoclastogenesis and Orthodontic Tooth Movement.

Objectives: Bones constitute organs that are engaged in constant self-remodelling. Osteoblast and osteoclast homeostasis during remodelling contribute to overall skeletal status. Orthodontics is a clinical discipline that involves the investigation and implementation of moving teeth through the bone.
