Abstract excerpt
All-trans -retinoic acid (atRA) inhibits osteoblast marker gene expression and markedly increases expression of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-6 (IGFBP-6) in human osteoblasts. The possibility that IGFBP-6 inhibits the osteoblast phenotype and also mediates the inhibitory effect of atRA on osteoblast marker gene expression was explored using an antisense approach. Stable human osteoblast-like...
