## Abstract The __RANKL__/__RANK__/__OPG__ pathway is essential for bone remodeling regulation. Many hormones and cytokines are involved in regulating gene expression in most of the pathway components. Moreover, any deregulation of this pathway can alter bone metabolism, resulting in loss or gain o
Objective. The cyclooxygenase (COX) metabolite, 15-deoxy-⌬ 12,14 -prostaglandin J 2 (15d-PGJ 2 ), has been reported to inhibit the expression of a number of genes involved in the pathogenesis of arthritis. However, its effects on COX-2 remain controversial. We undertook this study to investigate the
