In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

Example Input: Context: We previously reported that human OA subchondral bone osteoblasts could be discriminated into two subpopulations identified by their levels of endogenous production (low [L] or high [H]) of PGE(2). Here, we investigated the OPG and RANKL expression levels, the histologic analysis of the subchondral bone as well as the osteoclast differentiation effect of osteoblasts on normal and both OA subpopulations (L and H), and further examined on the L OA osteoblasts the modulation of bone remodelling factors on the OPG and RANKL levels, as well as on the resorption activity.', 'Gene expression was determined using real-time PCR, PGE2 and OPG levels by specific ELISA, and membranous RANKL by flow cytometry. Histological observation of the subchondral bone was performed on human knee specimens. Osteoclast differentiation and formation was assayed by using the pre-osteoclastic cell line RAW 264.7. OPG and RANKL modulation on L OA osteoblasts was monitored following treatment with osteotropic factors, and the resorption activity was studied by the co-culture of differentiated PBMC/osteoblasts.', 'Human OA subchondral bone osteoblasts expressed less OPG than normal. Compared to normal, RANKL gene expression levels were increased in L OA and decreased in H OA cells. The OPG/RANKL mRNA ratio was significantly diminished in L OA compared to normal or H OA (p<0.02, p<0.03), and markedly increased in H OA compared to normal. Inhibition of endogenous PGE(2) levels by indomethacin markedly decreased the ratio of OPG/RANKL on the H OA. In contrast to H OA osteoblasts, L OA cells induced a significantly higher level of osteoclast differentiation and formation (p<0.05). Histological analysis showed a reduced subchondral bone on the L OA and an increased bone mass on the H OA compared to normal. Treatment of L OA osteoblasts with osteotropic factors revealed that the OPG/RANKL mRNA expression ratio was significantly reduced by vitamin D(3) and significantly increased by TNF-alpha, PTH and PGE(2), while IL-1Beta demonstrated no effect. OPG protein levels showed similar profiles. No true effect was noted on membranous RANKL upon treatment with IL-1Beta, PGE(2) and PTH, but a significant increase was observed with vitamin D3 and TNF-alpha. The resorption activity of the L OA cells was significantly inhibited by all treatments except IL-1Beta, with maximum effect observed with vitamin D(3) and PGE(2).\Question: Is the differential expression of osteoprotegerin ( OPG ) and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand ( RANKL ) in human osteoarthritic subchondral bone osteoblasts an indicator of the metabolic state of these disease cells?
Example Output: OPG and RANKL levels, and consequently the OPG/RANKL ratio, differed according to human OA subchondral bone osteoblast classification; it is decreased in L and increased in H OA. These findings, in addition to those showing that L OA osteoblasts have a reduced subchondral bone mass and induce a higher level of osteoclast differentiation, strongly suggest that the metabolic state of the L OA osteoblasts favours bone resorption.

Example Input: Context: Apicomplexan parasites actively release transmembrane (TM) adhesive proteins involved in host cell attachment and invasion. Rhomboids, a family of intramembrane serine proteases, cleave these secreted adhesive proteins within their TM domains as an essential step in completing the invasion process. In Cryptosporidium parvum, the activity of rhomboids in cleaving microneme proteins (MICs) has not been reported. In the present study, the interaction between C. parvum rhomboids (CpROM1 and CpROM4) and C. parvum microneme proteins (CpGP900 and CpTRAP-C1) was investigated using yeast two-hybrid assay and co-immunoprecipitation assays.', 'Our study demonstrated that CpROM1 protein could interact with CpGP900 protein in co-transformed AH109 yeasts. Analysis of these proteins in co-transfected mammalian cells showed that the cleavage product of the CpGP900 protein was detected in the co-transfected cells. As control, CpGP900 only was transfected into cells and no cleavage was observed. The results suggested that CpGP900 protein was the substrate of CpROM1. Moreover, CpROM1 and CpROM4 could not cleave CpTRAP-C1 protein, which is the substrate of T. gondii rhomboid 2.\Question: Does cryptosporidium parvum rhomboid1 have an activity in microneme protein CpGP900 cleavage?
Example Output: Our results showed that CpROM1 is an active protease that is involved in microneme protein CpGP900 cleavage, which lay the foundation for further research on the mechanisms of C. parvum invasion.

Example Input: Context: Although serum amyloid A (SAA) is an established biomarker of coronary artery disease (CAD), its direct role in matrix degradation is obscure. This study investigated the effect of SAA on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-10 (MMP-10) in endothelial cells. The effect of celecoxib on SAA-dependent MMP-10 expression and its possible mediator were also investigated.', 'From our time course microarray screening, SAA (20 microg/ml) was found to increase MMP-10 mRNA expression over time (4-48 h) in human endothelial cells. Quantitative real-time PCR confirmed this transcriptional induction. Correspondingly, secreted MMP-10 protein was also markedly induced by SAA treatment for 24 h in a dose-dependent manner. We further examined cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and its major product, prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), as possible mediators of MMP-10 induction. Direct PGE(2) treatment could result in MMP-10 induction. Celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, suppressed MMP-10 secretion induced by SAA.\Question: Does celecoxib inhibit serum amyloid a-induced matrix metalloproteinase-10 expression in human endothelial cells?
Example Output:
SAA induced MMP-10 expression and celecoxib prevented its induction. MMP-10 induction was at least partly mediated by PGE(2).
