Osteoclastogenesis is induced by differentiation of hemopoietic cells of monocyte-macrophage lineage into bone-resorbing osteoclasts. The process is initiated by receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and resultant activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), including extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, as well
