Menaquinone-7 regulates gene expression in osteoblastic MC3T3E1 cells.
Previous study has shown that the vitamin K2 analog menaquinone-7 (MK-7) induces expression of the osteoblast-specific genes osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin, receptor activator of NFkappaB, and its ligand. Since MK-7 may also regulate osteoblast cell function, we examined the expression of osteoblast genes regulated by MK-7 administration. Differences between gene expression in control and MK-7-ad...
متن کاملGenistein and zinc synergistically enhance gene expression and mineralization in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells.
Genistein, a phytoestrogen, and zinc, an essential trace element, have an anabolic effect on bone components. We investigated whether the combination of genistein and zinc has additive and synergistic effects in osteoblastic cells in vitro. Osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells with subconfluency were cultured for 48 h in medium containing either vehicle, genistein (10(-6) or 10(-5) M), zinc sulfate (10(...
متن کاملRunx3 negatively regulates Osterix expression in dental pulp cells.
Osterix, a zinc-finger-containing transcription factor, is required for osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. Osterix is also expressed in dental mesenchymal cells of the tooth germ. However, transcriptional regulation by Osterix in tooth development is not clear. Genetic studies in osteogenesis place Osterix downstream of Runx2 (Runt-related 2). The expression of Osterix in odontoblas...
متن کاملModulation of connexin43 alters expression of osteoblastic differentiation markers.
Gap junctional channels between cells provide a pathway for exchange of regulatory ions and small molecules. We previously demonstrated that expression of connexins and cell-to-cell communication parallel osteoblastic differentiation and that nonspecific pharmacological inhibitors of gap junctional communication inhibit alkaline phosphatase activity. In this study, we stably transfected connexi...
متن کاملMechanisms of fibroblast growth factor-2 modulation of vascular endothelial growth factor expression by osteoblastic cells.
Normal bone growth and repair is dependent on angiogenesis. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) have all been implicated in the related processes of angiogenesis, growth, development, and repair. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between FGF-2 and both VEGF and TGFbeta in nonimm...
