Focal adhesion protein vinculin inhibits Mef2c-driven sclerostin expression in osteocytes to promote bone formation in mice
2022-11-10
Abstract excerpt
The focal adhesion (FA) is the structural basis of the cell-extracellular matrix crosstalk and plays important roles in control of organ formation and function. Here we show that expression of FA protein vinculin is dramatically reduced in osteocytes in patients with aging-related osteoporosis. Deleting vinculin using the mouse 10-kb Dmp1-Cre transgenic mice causes a severe osteopenia in both young and aged mice...
