Abstract
The process of bone remodeling is connected with the regulated balance between bone cell populations (including bone-forming osteoblasts, bone-resorbing osteoclasts, and the osteocyte). And the mechanism of bone remodeling activity is related to the major pathway, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB (RANK)/RANK ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) signaling axis. Recently, researchers have found a novel cytokine secreted by activated T cells, which is related to osteoclastogenesis in the absence of osteoblasts or RANKL, leading to bone destruction. They name it the secreted osteoclastogenic factor of activated T cells (SOFAT). SOFAT has been proven to play an essential role in bone remodeling, like mediating the bone resorption in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis. In this review, we outline the latest research concerning SOFAT and discuss the characteristics, location, and regulation of SOFAT. We also summarize the clinical progress of SOFAT and assume the future therapeutic target in some diseases related to bone remodeling.
期刊介绍:
The Japanese Dental Science Review is published by the Japanese Association for Dental Science aiming to introduce the modern aspects of the dental basic and clinical sciences in Japan, and to share and discuss the update information with foreign researchers and dentists for further development of dentistry. In principle, papers are written and submitted on the invitation of one of the Editors, although the Editors would be glad to receive suggestions. Proposals for review articles should be sent by the authors to one of the Editors by e-mail. All submitted papers are subject to the peer- refereeing process.
