Jagged1 Acts as an RBP-J Target and Feedback Suppresses TNF-Mediated Inflammatory Osteoclastogenesis.

ABSTRACT: TNF plays a crucial role in inflammation and bone resorption in various inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, its direct ability to drive macrophages to differentiate into osteoclasts is limited. Although RBP-J is recognized as a key inhibitor of TNF-mediated osteoclastogenesis, the precise mechanisms that restrain TNF-induced differentiation of macrophages into osteoclasts are not fully elucidated. In this study, we identified that the Notch ligand Jagged1 is a previously unrecognized RBP-J target. The expression of Jagged1 is significantly induced by TNF mainly through RBP-J. The TNF-induced Jagged1 in turn functions as a feedback inhibitory regulator of TNF-mediated osteoclastogenesis. This feedback inhibition of osteoclastogenesis by Jagged1 does not exis
