HMCLs decrease the OPG mRNA expression and OPG secretion in coculture.
Effect of HMCLs XG-6 (A) and XG-1 (B) on OPG mRNA expression by RT-PCR and OPG protein in a coculture system at different times of culture. Aliquots of conditioned media were assessed for OPG levels by ELISA. Graphics represent the mean levels ± SE of 6 repeated experiments. *P = .01; **P = .001.
