Expression of osteoclast-specific markers during osteoclastogenesis.
Infected cells were treated with RANKL (50 ng/ml) for 3 days. Total RNA was
extracted at the indicated time points, and expression of TRAP (A),
MMP9 (B), Ctsk (C), CTR (D), and integrin
β3 (E) mRNA levels were measured by real time RT-PCR.
The PCR products were normalized to GAPDH for each reaction. The data
represent the means ± S.D. of three experiments in triplicate.
