Control of the <i>SOST</i> Bone Enhancer by PTH Using MEF2 Transcription Factors
13 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Expression of the osteocyte-derived bone formation inhibitor sclerostin in adult bone requires a distant enhancer. We show that MEF2 transcription factors control this enhancer and mediate inhibition of sclerostin expression by PTH. INTRODUCTION: Sclerostin encoded by the SOST gene is a key regulator of bone formation. Lack of SOST expression is the cause for the progressive bone overgrowth disorders...
