Schematic diagram of PC1-mediated mechanical regulation of bone resorption (IMAGE)
Caption
PC1, as a mechanical stress sensitive factor, influences osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption by regulating TAZ nuclear translocation. Patients with ADPKD, which is mainly caused by loss-of-function mutation of the PKD1 gene, have lower risk of hip fracture than those with other chronic kidney diseases
