Role of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 Signaling Axis Activity in Osteoporosis

Table 1

The potential role of the CX3CL1/CX3CR1 signaling axis in osteoclastogenesis. OCs: osteoclasts; OBs: osteoblasts; BMCs: bone marrow cells; CD: cluster of differentiation; CXCR4: CXC chemokine receptor type 4; BMD: bone mineral density; CSF1R: colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor; EGFP: enhanced green fluorescent protein; CX3CR1: CX3C chemokine receptor 1; LPA: lysophosphatidic acid; LPAR1: lysophosphatidic acid receptor type 1; BMMs: bone marrow macrophages; CX3CL1: CX3C motif chemokine ligand 1; PMOP: postmenopausal osteoporosis patients; PMNOP: healthy postmenopausal patients; TRACP-5b: tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b; NTx: cross-linked N-telopeptides of type I collagen; IL-1β: interleukin 1 beta; IL-6: interleukin 6.
