Dual-regulated expression of C/EBP- and BMP-2 enables differential differentiation of C2C12 cells into adipocytes and osteoblasts
2 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins (C/EBPs) as well as bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) play essential roles in mammalian cell differentiation in shaping adipogenic and osteoblastic lineages in particular. Recent evidence suggested that adipocytes and osteoblasts share a common mesenchymal precursor cell phenotype. Yet, the molecular details underlying the decision of adipocyte versus osteoblast differentiation as...
