Osx transcriptional regulation is mediated by additional pathways to BMP2/Smad signaling
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 induces Osterix (Osx) in mouse C2C12 cells and chondrocytes. Genetic studies place Osx downstream to the BMP-2/Smad/Runx2 signaling pathway; however, limited information is available on the mediators of Osx expression in osteoblast lineage commitment. Several lines of research implicate the presence of Runx2-independent ossification. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to...
