TSG-6 inhibits osteoclast activity via an autocrine mechanism and is functionally synergistic with osteoprotegerin.
TSG-6 (the product of tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-stimulated gene 6) has a potent inhibitory effect on RANKL-mediated bone erosion. The aim of this study was to compare the activity of TSG-6 with that of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and to investigate its role as an autocrine modulator of cytokine-mediated...
