Insulin-like Growth Factor-I Induces Early Osteoblast Gene Expression in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Abstract excerpt

Human adult mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) differentiate into an osteogenic lineage if the appropriate differentiative cues, such as dexamethasone or bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), are present. This study was undertaken to determine the role of insulin-like growth factor I (IGFI) in the regulation of early osteoblast differentiation in hMSC. Previous studies have shown that IGF-I, regulates bone formation...
