1 As a result of these biochemical effects on the mevalonate pathway, bisphosphonates appear to modulate the expression of bcl-2 leading to caspase-dependent apoptosis, inhibit matrix metalloproteinases, downregulate alphavbeta3 and alphavbeta5 integrins, and increase expression of osteoprotegerin, thereby antagonizing osteoclastogenesis.
