Inactivation of Menin, the Product of the Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 Gene, Inhibits the Commitment of Multipotential Mesenchymal Stem Cells into the Osteoblast Lineage

Abstract excerpt

The physiological roles of menin, the product of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 gene, are not known. Homozygous menin knockout mice exhibit cranial and facial hypoplasia. We, therefore, investigated the role of menin in the regulation of osteoblastic differentiation. Menin antisense oligonucleotides (AS-oligo) reduced endogenous menin expression in the C3H10T1/2 (10T1/2) mouse mesenchymal stem cells and...
