Impaired c-kit signaling couples bone resorption to bone formation through wnt10b in kitw-Sh/W-Sh mice

Lotinun Sutada , Krishnamra Nateetip , Horne William

Kit ligand/c-Kit receptor tyrosine kinase complex has been implicated as a target for bone remodeling process. Loss of function mutation in c-Kit causes low bone mass in KitW/W-v (W/Wv) mice. However, these mice are sterile and it is unclear whether the observed skeletal phenotype is secondary to sex hormone deficiency. To address this question, the skeletal phenotype of KitW...
