The capacity of osteoclasts to resorb bone depends, in part, on the surface expression of the integrin We have investigated whether the steroid hormone retinoic acid, known to stimulate bone resorption, regulates the appearance of the a,p3 complex in avian osteoclast presursors. Using surface labeli
Long-term administration of pharmacological doses of glucocorticoids inhibits bone formation and results in osteoporosis. Since integrin-mediated cell-matrix interactions are essential for osteoblast function, we hypothesized that the detrimental effect of glucocorticoids on bone derived, at least i
