Abstract：
:Denosumab (Dmab) was the first monoclonal antibody (mAb) approved for the treatment of osteoporosis. It blocks the receptor activator for nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and acts as a potent antiresorptive agent. In contrast to classic antiresorptive agents, Dmab treatment leads to a progressive increase in bone mass, but the mechanisms remain controversial. Recently, RANKL signaling in osteoblastogenesis and bone formation and RANKL reverse signaling in coupling bone resorption and formation were demonstrated. Thus, here we discuss the roles of RANKL signaling and RANKL reverse signaling in the bone-forming effects of Dmab.
