Abstract:

Objective  To detect the expression of osteoclast related factors, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), receptor  activator of NF-?资B ligand(RANKL) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP), in the process of bone remodeling. Methods  8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were employed in this study to detect the expression of osteoclast related factors by real time PCR. Results  TNF-α, RANKL and TRAP were up regulated in the process of bone remodeling, they reached the peak on day 2,5 and 10 individually after injury. Conclusion  Osteoclast related factors also participate in bone remodeling, which depends on the delicate balance between bone formation and bone resorption.
