See full text

The present invention is drawn to understanding lytic bone diseases. In this regard, the present invention discloses mechanism by which Wnt signaling antagonist inhibits bone differentiation. Also disclosed herein are methods for treating multiple myeloma, for restoring osteoprotegerin (OPG) expression in a cell, for inhibiting receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) expression in a cell, and for increasing bone mass in a subject. These methods utilize a DKK1 neutralizing antibody, an anti-sense oligonucleotide against a DKK1 gene, or a shRNA against a DKK1 gene to inhibit the activity of the DKK1 protein.
