摘要
人OPG,RANK和RANKL是3个肿瘤坏死因子家族新成员,主要存在于人的骨髓及其他少数组织中。2000年美国骨与矿物质研究协会对其给予了标准化命名,并统称为OPG/RANKL/RANK系统。作为破骨细胞形成、分化和骨吸收调节的关键调节物,OPG/RANKL/RANK系统在骨质疏松、骨硬化病、类风湿性关节炎、骨肿瘤、Paget’s病、牙周炎及正畸牙移动等临床疾病的发病机制及治疗方面均取得了较大进展。
Human osteoprotegrin (OPG), human receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) and human receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) are three new members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily found in 1997 and 1998. They mainly exist in human bone marrow and other few tissues. But then, people could not know them very well and gave them unequal names, thus, in 2000, ASBMR made them names normalization and called them OPG/RANKL/RANK. As critical molecular determinants of osteoclastogenesis and regulators of bone resorption, OPG/RANKL/RANK has revolutionized our understanding of the processes of normal and pathological bone metabolism. By now, great progress has been made in osteoporosis, bone sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone tumor, Paget' s disease,periodontitis and orthodontic tooth movement.
