Abstract
Inflammation close to bone causes its destruction. The common sense is that cytokines and inflammatory mediators are released from inflammatory cells and stimulate osteoclasts to resorb bone and inhibit osteoblasts to synthesize new bone. However, recent data from our group demonstrate that inflammation also leads to bone formation. Thus, bone formation and resorption happen at the same time during inflammation, but the processes are uncoupled. In this project, we aim to study the role of inflammatory mediators and substances that may interfere on bone modeling. In the first subproject, the role of kinin receptors on osteoclastogenesis will be studied. In the second project, the anabolic effect of oncostatin M will be dissected, aiming to discover a new signaling pathway. In the third subproject, the first two projects will be used in a translational study, which will aim to investigate the effect of biomaterials on bone tissue. (AU)
