Osteitis Deformans
0.010 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE A viral etiology for PD has been suggested based on the presence of paramyxoviral-like nuclear inclusions, detection of measles virus nucleocapsid (MVNP) mRNA or protein in osteoclasts (OCLs) from PD lesions, and in vitro studies showing that transfection of normal OCL precursors with the MVNP gene results in formation of OCLs that express a pagetic phenotype (increased numbers of OCLs; increased responsivity to 1,25(OH)(2)D(3), RANKL, and TNF-alpha; increased expression of the TAF(II)-17 gene, and increased bone resorption capacity). 17229020 2006
