TNF-α's effects on proliferation and apoptosis in human mesenchymal stem cells depend on RUNX2 expression

Abstract excerpt

RUNX2 is a bone-specific transcription factor that plays a critical role in prenatal bone formation and postnatal bone development. It regulates the expression of genes that are important in committing cells into the osteoblast lineage. There is increasing evidence that RUNX2 is involved in osteoblast proliferation. RUNX2 expression increases during osteoblast differentiation, and recent data even suggest that it...
