StemRegenin 1 attenuates the RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis via inhibiting AhR-c-src-NF-κB/p-ERK MAPK-NFATc1 signaling pathway

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) pathway may play an important role in the regulation of osteoclasts, but there are still conflicting studies on this aspect, and the specific mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, we conducted this study to find a drug to treat osteoporosis that targets AhR. We found that StemRegenin 1 inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner. Through further experiments, we found that SR1 can inhibit nuclear transcription of AhR and inhibit c-src phosphorylation, and ultimately regulates the activation of the NF-κB and
