Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein Enhances Toll-like Receptor-Mediated Osteoclastogenic Responses in the Absence of Exogenous RANKL: Implications for Inflammatory Osteoclastogenesis in Periodontitis.

TLR activation increased LOX-1 expression in bone cells, and when combined with oxidized LDL, promoted osteoclast formation without requiring added RANKL, suggesting metabolic and inflammatory pathways may work together in periodontitis-associated bone loss.
