Pleurotus sajor-caju (Fr.) Singer β-1,3-Glucanoligosaccharide (Ps-GOS) Suppresses RANKL-Induced Osteoclast Differentiation and Function in Pre-Osteoclastic RAW 264.7 Cells by Inhibiting the RANK/NFκB/cFOS/NFATc1 Signalling Pathway. (PubMed, Molecules)
Furthermore, Ps-GOS markedly inhibited RANK expression, which serves as an initial transmitter of many osteoclastogenesis-related cascades and inhibited proteolytic enzymes, including TRAP, matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) and cathepsin K (CTK). These findings indicate that Ps-GOS could potentially be beneficial as an effective natural agent for bone metabolic disease.

Effects of Improper Mechanical Force on the Production of Sonic Hedgehog, RANKL, and IL-6 in Human Periodontal Ligament Cells In Vitro. (PubMed, Dent J (Basel))
RANKL and IL-6 expressions in response to orthodontic forces and in the control were clearly inhibited by Shh inhibitor RU-SKI 43. Shh did not directly link to RANKL and IL-6 for root and bone resorptions by orthodontic force but was associated with cell activities to be finally guided by the production of cytokines in hPDL cells.

Dauricine attenuates ovariectomized-induced bone loss and RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis via inhibiting ROS-mediated NF-κB and NFATc1 activity. (PubMed, Phytomedicine)
Dau prevents OVX-induced bone loss by inhibiting osteoclast activity and bone resorption, potentially offering a new approach for preventing and treating metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis. This study provides innovative insights into the inhibitory effects of Dau in an in vivo OVX model and elucidates the underlying mechanism.

Assessing EGFR-mutated NSCLC with bone metastasis: Clinical features and optimal treatment strategy. (PubMed, Cancer Med)
The presence of BoM is a negative prognostic factor for NSCLC patients with an EGFR mutation, possibly due to the presence of extrathoracic metastases. However, adding AAT and denosumab, along with sequential osimertinib, to the treatment regimen for patients with BoM can improve survival outcomes.

The RANKL inhibitor denosumab in combination with dual checkpoint inhibition is associated with increased CXCL-13 serum concentrations. (PubMed, Eur J Cancer)
Denosumab in combination with dual ICI modulates cytokine expression and T-cell composition in peripheral blood. The upregulation of CXCL-13, a key factor for initiating tertiary lymphoid structures, strengthens the hypothesis that denosumab indeed boost immunological effects.

These findings suggest that FME may confer anti-osteoclastogenic effects, providing insights into its potential application in treatment of osteoporosis.

Could MRONJ Be Related to Osimertinib Monotherapy in Lung Cancer Patients after Denosumab Suspension? (PubMed, Healthcare (Basel))
The patient suspended Denosumab for more than six months before teeth extraction for MRONJ prevention; hence, failure to discontinue Osimertinib led us to consider it a possible etiological factor. From a literature analysis, only one case has already been published reporting a possible Osimertinib-related occurrence of MRONJ in lung cancer patients. Our case is a further report that could be intended as an alert both for oncologists and dentists to share decisions about the oral management of such patients together, also informing them about this possible risk. Also, this report could trigger in the scientific community the necessity to evaluate further guidelines for similar doubtful cases in which the drug interaction, the mono-suspension, and the possible removable prosthesis-related additional trauma should be considered causes or con-causes.

Immunohistochemical expression of H3.3 G34W in 100 giant cell tumors of bone and its diagnostic mimics, including its value in resolving uncommon diagnostic scenarios: A single institutional study at a tertiary cancer referral center, India. (PubMed, Indian J Pathol Microbiol)
The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of H3.3 G34W for GCTB were 88.1% and 100%, respectively. This constitutes one of the first reports from our country, further validating the diagnostic value of H3.3 G34W in differentiating GCTB, including metastatic and malignant forms from its mimics, including small biopsy samples. Its value in various diagnostic dilemmas is presented and utility in identifying residual tumor cells in post-denosumab treated GCTBs is worth exploring.

RANKL, OPG, and RUNX2 expression and epigenetic modifications in giant cell tumour of bone in 32 patients. (PubMed, Bone Joint Res)
Additionally, we proved that changes in DNA methylation contribute to upregulating the expression of RANKL and downregulating the expression of OPG, which are critical for bone homeostasis and GCTB development. Our results suggest that the overexpression of RANKL/RUNX2 and the lower expression of OPG are associated with recurrence in GCTB patients.

Immune modulation with RANKL blockade through denosumab treatment in patients with cancer. (PubMed, Cancer Immunol Res)
We also saw broad induction of CTLA-4 and TIM3 expression in circulating lymphocytes and some monocyte populations. These findings suggest that denosumab treatment by itself has modest immunomodulatory effects, but when combined with conventional cancer treatments, can lead to the induction of immunologic checkpoints.

Myeloid zinc finger 1 knockdown promotes osteoclastogenesis and bone loss in part by regulating RANKL-induced ferroptosis of osteoclasts through Nrf2/GPX4 signaling pathway. (PubMed, J Leukoc Biol)
The results suggest that MZF1 may be involved in osteoclast differentiation by regulating RANKL-induced ferroptosis of osteoclasts. Collectively, our findings shed light on the essential involvement of MZF1 in the regulation of osteoclastogenesis in osteoporosis and provide insights into its potential underlying mechanism.
