The current study examined possible mechanisms whereby S. aureus induces TRAIL expression in osteoblasts.
While intracellular S. aureus is known to induce TRAIL expression in osteoblasts [ 41 ] , the ability of extracellular staphylococcal products to induce TRAIL expression has not been previously investigated.
Osteoblasts are also known to secrete osteoprotegerin (OPG), which binds TRANCE, thus inhibiting osteoclastogenesis.
