Abstract
F-spondin inhibits migration and differentiation of osteoclastic precursors.
Journal of periodontology, 2011; PubMed, Homo sapiens SPON1 — Mus Musculus Lrp8
ABSTRACT: Clinically, severe cemental resorption is a rare consequence of periodontitis, although alveolar bone resorption by osteoclasts is one of the main pathologic changes. F-spondin is a secreted neuronal glycoprotein that localizes to the cementum. F-spondin is among the cementum-specific factors in periodontal tissue that have been reported. However, the effects of F-spondin on osteoclastogenesis have not yet been established. We examined the effects of F-spondin on stages of osteoclastogenesis, migration, and differentiation in a mouse osteoclastic precursor model, RAW 264 cells.
