RANKL inhibits NUMBL expression and induces NUMBL K48-poly UB in TAK1-dependent manner. (A) Bone marrow cells, from WT and TAK1-cKO mice were cultured in presence or absence of RANKL and M-CSF for 1 day followed by mRNA isolation and qPCR for NUMBL. RANKL treatment significantly decreases NUMBL expression but in WT cells but failed to inhibit NUMBL expression under TAK1 deletion condition. (B) Bone marrow cells from WT and TAK1-cKO mice were treated with RANKL as indicated. Total cell lysates and NUMBL-immunoprecipitates were then immunoblotted with anti-NUMBL and anti-K48-UB specific antibodies, respectively. Hypo K48-polu-Ubiquitinaion in TAK1-cKO cells indicates that TAK1 mediates poly-ubiquitination of NUMBL destined for proteasome degradation. (*P < 0.05).
