- Background
- RANK was initially cloned from dendritic cells. It is a type I membrane 66 kD protein that is expressed in monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, osteoclast precursors, and among other cells. RANK and its ligand (RANKL) play a key role in bone homeostasis, organogenesis, immune tolerance, and cancer. RANK and RANKL are members of the TNF family and are respectively designated as TNFRSF11A and TNFSF11. RANK, as well as other TNF receptor members, lacks intrinsic enzymatic activity. Its signal transduction is carried out by the recruitment of various adaptor proteins, including TNFR-associated factors (TRAFs), leading to the activation of JNK, ERK, p38, NFATc1, AKT, and NF-κB signaling pathways. In addition, INF-γ, IFN-β, and ITAM-activated costimulatory signals crosstalk with RANK signaling to regulate osteoclastogenesis in the opposite manner. While IFN-γ and IFN-β inhibit, ITAM stimulates this process. RANK and its ligand are associated to bone diseases such as postmenopausal osteoporosis and bone loss in inflammatory conditions. RANKL expressed on activated T-cells induces bone loss and joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis. Also, RANK provides signals during medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTEC) development. mTECs contribute to the selection and survival of immunosuppressive Foxp3-positive regulatory T cells.
