Atm-deficient mice: an osteoporosis model with defective osteoblast differentiation and increased osteoclastogenesis
27 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
Atm is a Ser/Thr kinase involved in DNA damage response and is required for genome integrity and stem cell renewal. Here, we report an additional role for Atm in bone remodeling. Atm-/- mice showed reduced bone mass, especially at the trabecular bones, accompanied by a decrease in bone formation rate and defective differentiation of osteoblasts, but normal numbers of osteoprogenitor cells and osteoblasts. Atm...
