Dickkopf1 inhibits osteoblast differentiation and
osteoprotegerin expression : implication for breast cancer osteolytic bone metastases
Gavriatopoulou et al., Expert Opin Ther Targets 2009
(Bone Diseases...) :
In addition to its direct inhibitory effect of Dkk-1 on osteoblasts,
Dkk-1 disrupts the Wnt3a regulated
osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand ( RANKL ) expression in osteoblasts and thus it indirectly enhances osteoclast function in MM. Dkk-1 serum and bone marrow plasma levels are increased in MM patients and correlated with advanced International Staging System stage and presence of osteolytic lesions
