Lipopolysaccharide inhibits osteoblast formation and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand degradation via autophagy inhibition by Huaizhi Zhang, Jianhua Lin, Xu Chen, Jianhui Dai, Haibin Lin

“…Our results showed that LPS inhibited autophagy (LC3 conversion and autophagosome formation) and enhanced the protein and mRNA expression of RANKL in MC3T3-E1 osteoblast precursor line. Autophagy upregulation with Rapamycin over BECN1 overexpression rescued LPS-inhibited osteoblast formation and -promoted RANKL protein production in MC3T3-E1 cells. …”
