Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) promotes insulin sensitivity but causes bone loss. It elevates bone resorption by an undefined non-osteoclast-autonomous mechanism. We have detected a pro-osteoclastogenic activity in the hepatic secretome that is increased by FGF21 and largely attributed to insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 (IGFBP1). Ex vivo osteoclast differentiation and in vivo bone resorption are both enhanced by recombinant IGFBP1 but suppressed by an IGFBP1-blocking antibody. ...[more]
