Abstract excerpt
U0126 has been reported as a specific inhibitor of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway, which plays a vital role during the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). We report the positive effect of U0126 on the osteogenesis of rat MSCs. We find that U0126 promotes the osteogenic differentiation of rat MSCs as demonstrated by the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction for osteogenic markers,...
