1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and transforming growth factor-beta act synergistically to override extinction of liver/bone/kidney alkaline phosphatase in osteosarcoma hybrid cells.

Abstract excerpt

In this study, a somatic cell genetic approach was used to study the regulation of liver/bone/kidney alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) gene expression in osteoblasts. ALPL plays an important role in skeletal mineralization and serves as a good index of bone formation. A series of intertypic hybrids constructed by fusion of the human osteosarcoma TE-85 with the mouse fibrosarcoma La-t- demonstrated a 10-fold reduction...
