TGFβ reprograms TNF stimulation of macrophages towards a non-canonical pathway driving inflammatory osteoclastogenesis
Abstract
Mechanisms for inflammatory osteolysis are unclear. Here, Xia et al. find that TGFβ shifts the inflammatory action of TNF on macrophages to a potent osteoclastogenic function and identify a novel TGFβ/TNF-mediated non-canonical osteoclastogenic program.
