Rap1A Regulates Osteoblastic Differentiation via the ERK and p38 Mediated Signaling
Rap1A is a member of small G proteins belonging to the Ras family. Recently, an integration of human genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and gene expression profiling study revealed that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within human Rap1A were strongly associated with narrow neck width in women. However, the regulatory role of Rap1A in osteoblasts remains to be elucidated. Here we repo...
متن کاملVirus activated artificial ECM induces the osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells without osteogenic supplements
Biochemical and topographical features of an artificial extracellular matrix (aECM) can direct stem cell fate. However, it is difficult to vary only the biochemical cues without changing nanotopography to study their unique role. We took advantage of two unique features of M13 phage, a non-toxic nanofiber-like virus, to generate a virus-activated aECM with constant ordered ridge/groove nanotopo...
متن کاملIL-6 induces osteoblastic differentiation of periodontal ligament cells.
Interleukin (IL)-6 has been considered as an osteolytic factor involved in periodontal disease. However, the function of IL-6 in osteoblastic differentiation of periodontal ligament cells is not clear. We examined the effects of IL-6 and its soluble receptor (sIL-6R) on osteoblastic differentiation of periodontal ligament cells. Osteoblastic differentiation was induced by ascorbic acid. Osteobl...
متن کاملMiR-203 down-regulates Rap1A and suppresses cell proliferation, adhesion and invasion in prostate cancer
OBJECTIVE Evidence supports an important role for miR-203 in the regulation of the proliferation, migration and invasion of prostate cancer (PCa) cells. However, the exact mechanisms of miR-203 in PCa are not entirely clear. METHODS We examined the expression of miR-203 in prostate cancer tissues, adjacent normal tissues, PCa cell lines and normal prostate epithelial cells by qRT-PCR. Then, t...
متن کاملEstrogen regulation of human osteoblastic cell proliferation and differentiation.
Estrogen (E2) has been shown to prevent bone loss among postmenopausal women. The molecular mechanism(s) by which this is accomplished is not clear. The discovery of E2 receptor (ER) in osteoblasts and osteoclasts has implicated these cells as direct targets for E2. Previous studies on the effects of E2 on osteoblastic cells in vitro or in organ culture present conflicting results, possibly due...
