Concentration of RANKL, OPG, and TRAIL in the media collected from osteoclastic cultures of patients with MM with osteolysis (MM) and controls (Ctr)




Ctr

MM- T cells

MM+ T cells
RANKL, pmol/L   ND   0.3 ± 0.1   5.5 ± 0.5* 
OPG, pmol/L   ND   ND   2.5 ± 0.1* 
TRAIL, pmol/L
 
21 ± 0.9
 
21.54 ± 1
 
42.86 ± 0.57*
