c-Fos, a component of the dimeric transcription factor AP-1, is necessary for osteoclast formation. To determine whether c-Fos can substitute for any or all of the stimuli needed for osteoclast induction, we infected osteoclast precursors with retroviral vectors expressing c-Fos or the Fos-related p

## Abstract The cellular mechanism or mechanisms through which tumors induce osteoclast formation at sites of tumor osteolysis is unknown. To test the hypothesis that osteoclast formation at sites of tumor osteolysis reflects influences that tumors have on proliferating osteoclast precursor cells,
Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a 38-kDa cysteine-rich peptide, whose synthesis and secretion are selectively induced by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-โค) in connective tissue cells. Previous studies have demonstrated that CTGF functions as a downstream mediator of TGF-โค mitogenic ac
