RANKL/RANK

Receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) and its ligand receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) are encoded, respectively, by the Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 11A (Tnfrsf11a) and the Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 11 (Tnfsf11) genes, RANK and RANKL constitute a receptor-ligand pair initiating a signaling pathway of paramount relevance in bone remodeling, lymph node formation, establishment of the thymic microenvironment, mammary gland development during pregnancy, and bone metastasis in cancer. RANK mutant mice, as well as RANKL mutant mice, exhibit severe osteopetrosis and defective tooth eruption due to a complete lack in osteoclast. Moreover, RANKL and RANK mutant mice lack lymph nodes and AIRE+ thymic medullary epithelial cells.

    Boldine
    		Inhibitor 99.57%
    Boldine is an apomorphine isoquinoline alkaloid extracted from the root of the pheasant pepper (Litsea cubeba). Boldine is an oral effective antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor agent, and can inhibit osteoclast formation. Boldine induces apoptosis of human bladder cancer cells by regulating ERK, AKT and GSK-3β. Boldine ameliorates bone destruction by down-regulating the OPG/RANKL/RANK signaling pathway. It can be used in rheumatoid arthritis research.

    10-Hydroxydecanoic acid
    		98.77%
    10-Hydroxydecanoic acid (10-HDAA) is a saturated fatty acid derived from 10-hydroxy-trans-2-decenoic acid, which can be isolated from royal jelly. 10-Hydroxydecanoic acid exhibits various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, insecticidal, anti-malarial, and anti-Leishmania properties, as well as enhancing antigen-specific immune responses. The anti-inflammatory effects of 10-Hydroxydecanoic acid are primarily mediated by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB and the translation of interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1), which reduces the production of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and nitric oxide (NO) in inflammatory cells. Additionally, 10-Hydroxydecanoic acid alleviates neuroinflammatory responses through the p53-autophagy pathway and the p53-NLRP3 pathway. Finally, 10-Hydroxydecanoic acid enhances antigen-specific immune responses by promoting the effective uptake of antigens by microfold cells.
