Abstract excerpt
The runt family transcription factor (AML-3/PEBP2alphaA1/Cbfa1/RUNX2) plays a crucial role in formation of the mineralized skeleton during embryogenesis and regulates maturation of the osteoblast phenotype. Because steroid hormones and growth factors significantly influence growth and differentiation properties of osteoblasts, we addressed Cbfa1 as a target gene for regulation by dexamethasone (Dex), 1,25(OH)D(3)...
