## Abstract Inflammatory cytokines are well known to play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Among them, interleukin (IL)‐17 is a cytokine that is mainly synthesized by activated T cells and its receptors are present in osteoblasts. The synthesis of IL‐6, known to stimulate
We previously showed that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-induced activation of protein kinase C (PKC) via phosphatidylinositol-hydrolyzing phospholipase C and phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D suppresses interleukin-6 (IL-6) synthesis by bFGF itself in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 c
We previously reported that prostaglandin F 2␣ (PGF 2␣ ) activates both phosphoinositide-hydrolyzing phospholipase C and phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells and then induces the activation of protein kinase C (PKC). In this study, we investigated the eff
