Figure Lengend Snippet: Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 5 (CXCL5) does not significantly alter mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT), or focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signalling during receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation. a) and b) To investigate whether CXCL5 modulates early intracellular signalling in osteoclastogenesis, RAW264.7 cells were stimulated with RANKL (50 ng/ml) to induce osteoclast differentiation, with or without co-treatment with recombinant CXCL5. Western blot analysis was conducted to examine the phosphorylation status of MAPK pathway components (p38, JNK, and ERK) at various timepoints. No significant changes in the p-p38/p38, p-JNK/JNK, or p-ERK/ERK ratios were observed following CXCL5 co-treatment. c) and d) Similarly, NF-κB signalling activity was assessed by analyzing phospho-p65 levels over time. CXCL5 had no significant effect on RANKL-induced p65 phosphorylation. e) to g) The effects of CXCL5 on other osteoclast-related signalling molecules, including STAT5, STAT6, and FAK, were also evaluated in both time- and dose-dependent settings. No significant changes were detected in STAT5/6 phosphorylation or FAK expression levels. Data are presented as mean (standard error of the mean (SEM)) and were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test.
