What did studies of Murine coronavirus infection find?

Studies of Murine coronavirus infection measured 4 outcomes; the most studied are osteoclast-associated marker expression (1 study), osteoclast differentiation and activity (1) and bone loss (1).

Osteoclast-associated marker expression

upin mouse cells1

1 study

Murine coronavirus infection increases osteoclast-associated marker expression in mouse cells (cells derived from sham-operated and ovariectomized mice).
“In vitro, MHV-A59 infection enhanced the expression of osteoclast-associated markers, including Rank, Traf6, Nfac1, and cathepsin K”

Mouse coronavirus hastened bone loss in osteoporotic mice

In an experiment in female mice, infection accelerated bone breakdown at five days in animals with osteoporosis; mice without osteoporosis showed bone loss at 60 days.In an experiment in female mice, infection accelerated bone breakdown at five days in animals with osteoporosis; mice without osteoporosis showed bone loss at 60 days.
