PGE2 is an important pro-inflammatory mediator regulating osteoclast function.
The effect of PGE2 on TRAP and resorptive activity of osteoclastic cells was studied.
PGE2 inhibited the differentiation of human and mouse osteoclast precursor cells.
PGE2 had no influence on already differentiated human and mouse osteoclasts.
Downregulation of PGE2 receptors enables osteoclasts function during inflammation.
