Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF/CCN2) Negatively Regulates BMP‐2 Induced Osteoblast Differentiation and Signaling
14 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 are both produced and secreted by osteoblasts. Both proteins have been shown to have independent effects in regulating osteoblast proliferation, maturation and mineralization. However, how these two proteins interact during osteoblast differentiation remains unknown. In this study, we utilized two cell culture model systems,...
