Osteoclast differentiation pathway perturbation after stimulation with interleukin (IL)-6 with or without resolvin E1 (RvE1). Using Illumina’s iPathwayGuide application, a significant perturbation in the osteoclast differentiation pathway was noted after stimulation of osteoblasts with IL-6. Upregulation of IL-1 lead to promotion of downstream signaling affecting the MAPK and NFκB signaling pathways leading to upregulation of osteoclast differentiation. After treatment with RvE1, downregulation of STAT1 led to inhibition of downstream signaling affecting the MAPK and NFκB signaling pathways leading to downregulation of osteoclast differentiation.
