Different Roles of Runx2 During Early Neural Crest–Derived Bone and Tooth Development
1 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: We compared gene expression profiles between Runx2 null mutant mice and their wildtype littermates. Most Runx2-dependent genes in bones were different from those in teeth, implying that the target genes of Runx2 are tissue-dependent. In vitro experiments determined that Runx2 is a part of the FGF and BMP signaling pathways in tooth and bone development, respectively. INTRODUCTION: Runx2 (Cbfa1) is...
