Krox20/EGR2 deficiency accelerates cell growth and differentiation in the monocytic lineage and decreases bone mass
18 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Krox20/EGR2, one of the 4 early growth response genes, is a highly conserved transcription factor implicated in hindbrain development, peripheral nerve myelination, tumor suppression, and monocyte/macrophage cell fate determination. Here, we established a novel role for Krox20 in postnatal skeletal metabolism. Microcomputed tomographic analysis of 4- and 8-week-old mice revealed a low bone mass phenotype (LBM) in...
