IL-1β Suppresses the Formation of Osteoclasts by Increasing OPG Production via an Autocrine Mechanism Involving Celecoxib-Related Prostaglandins in Chondrocytes by Yusuke Watanabe, Aki Namba, Yukiko Aida, Kazuhiro Honda, Hideki Tanaka, Naoto Suzuki, Hideo Matsumura, Masao Maeno

“…Conditioned medium from IL-1β-treated chondrocytes decreased TRAP staining in RAW264.7 cells. These results suggest that IL-1β suppresses the formation of osteoclast-like cells via increased OPG production and decreased M-CSF production in chondrocytes, and OPG production may increase through an autocrine mechanism involving celecoxib-related PGs.…”

LRP11 facilitates lipid metabolism and malignancy in hepatocellular carcinoma by stabilizing RACK1 through USP5 regulation by Litao Liang, Wenbo Jia, Jinyi Wang, Yanzhi Feng, Deming Zhu, Wenhu Zhao, Chao Xu, Xiangyu Ling, Qingpeng Lv, Xiaoming Ai, Lianbao Kong, Wenzhou Ding

“…Lipid metabolism plays a crucial role in the metabolic reprogramming observed in HCC, although the underlying mechanisms are still being elucidated. Nile red staining and lipid assays showed that LRP11 knockdown significantly reduces lipid accumulation in HCC cells, with a concurrent decrease in key lipid metabolism markers such as FSAN, ACLY and ACSL4, as demonstrated by Western blotting. …”
