Figure Lengend Snippet: a.) Mice were treated as described in Figure 2. Whole humerus bone mRNA expression of LXR-dependent genes Abca1 and Srebp1c. Data are presented as mean ± SE. n = 11–12 individual mice. **p<0.01, Mann-Whitney b.) Osteoclast cultures were prepared as described in Figure 5 and treated with Vh (DMSO), TBT (20, 50, or 80 nM), rosiglitazone (Rosi, 500 nM, PPARγ agonist), LG100268 (LG268, RXR agonist 1 μM), or T0101317 (T317, LXRα/β agonist, 1 μM) and analyzed for mRNA expression Abca1 and Srebp1c. n=10–17 independent cultures. Data are presented as mean ± SE. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001 compared to Vh, one-way ANOVA (Dunnett’s). TBT treatments were compared to Vh separately from control comparisons. c.) Primary bone marrow macrophages were isolated from male and female LXRα +/+, +/− and −/− mice, induced to differentiate into osteoclasts with M-CSF and RANKL, treated after 24 hrs with Vh (DMSO) or TBT (50 nM) for 4 days, and analyzed for mRNA expression of Ctsk. n=4 independent cultures. Data are presented as mean ± SE. Two-way ANOVA. d.) Osteoclast cultures were prepared as described in b and treated with Vh (DMSO) or TBT (50 nM) with or without GSK2033 (GSK, LXR antagonist, 0.8 μM) and analyzed for mRNA expression Abca1, Srebp1c and Ctsk. n=5 independent cultures. Data are presented as mean ± SE. Two-way ANOVA.
Article Snippet: For resorption assays, cells were collected from the differentiating osteoclast cultures, counted, plated (40,000 per well in 800 μl osteoclast differentiation medium) in 24-well Corning Osteo-Assay plates (CLS3987, Sigma Aldrich) and re-treated with Vh or TBT.
