Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2-Induced Osteoblast Differentiation Requires Smad-Mediated Down-Regulation of Cdk6
14 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Because a temporal arrest in the G(1) phase of the cell cycle is thought to be a prerequisite for cell differentiation, we investigated cell cycle factors that critically influence the differentiation of mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells induced by bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), a potent inducer of osteoblast differentiation. Of the G(1) cell cycle factors examined, the expression of cyclin-dependent...
