Abstract excerpt
Runx2/Cbfa1 has been identified as a "master gene" controlling osteoblast differentiation. However, its role in inducing the osteoblast phenotype has been characterized primarily in rodent systems. Thus, we examined Runx2/Cbfa1 messenger RNA, protein, and activity levels during osteoblastic differentiation of human bone marrow stromal (BMSC) cells. Semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction...
