Reconstitution of Runx2/Cbfa1‐null cells identifies a requirement for BMP2 signaling through a Runx2 functional domain during osteoblast differentiation
22 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
The Runx2/Cbfa1 transcription factor is a scaffolding protein that promotes osteoblast differentiation; however, the specific Runx2-functional domains required for induction of the osteogenic lineage remain to be identified. We approached this question using a TERT-immortalized cell line derived from calvaria of Runx2-null mice by reconstituting the osteogenic activity with wild-type and deletion mutants of...
