It is not known how gene expression of bone extracellular matrix molecules is controlled temporally and spatially, or how it is related with morphological differentiation of osteoblasts during embryonic osteogenesis in vivo. The present study was designed to examine gene expressions of type I collagen, osteonectin, bone sialoprotein, osteopontin, and osteocalcin during mandibular osteogenesis using in situ hybridization. Wistar rat embryos 13–20 days post coitum were used. The condensation of mesenchymal cells was formed in 14-day rat embryonic mandibles and expressed genes of pro-(I) collagen, osteonectin, bone sialoprotein and osteopontin. Cuboidal osteoblasts surrounding the uncalcified bone matrix were seen as early as in 15-day embryonic mandibles, while flat osteoblasts lining the surface of the calcified bone were seen from 16-day embryonic mandibles. Cuboidal osteoblasts expressed pro-1(I) collagen, osteonectin and bone sialoprotein intensely but osteopontin very weakly. In contrast, flat osteoblasts expressed osteopontin very strongly. Osteocytes expressed the extracellular matrix molecules actively, in particular, osteopontin. The present study demonstrated the distinct gene expression pattern of type I collagen, osteonectin, bone sialoprotein, osteopontin and osteocalcin during embryonic mandibular osteogenesis in vivo.  相似文献

Osteoblast differentiation under in vitro conditions is associated with increased expression of non-collagenous bone proteins including osteocalcin, osteopontin, and osteonectin, the exact function of which remain poorly understood. To determine whether these proteins play an important role in the formation of mineralised bone matrix by osteoblasts in vivo, we analysed the time-course of their expression during estrogen-induced osteogenesis in female mice, and compared this with the formation of new cancellous bone. Female mice were sacrificed prior to or following treatment with 17beta-estradiol for up to 32 days (500 microg/animal/week). Total RNA was extracted from femurs, and changes in expression of genes for a range of osteoblast-derived proteins assessed by Northern blot analysis. In parallel experiments, the time course of cancellous bone formation was determined by measuring bone mineral density (BMD) of the distal femur. Estrogen led to a rapid increase in BMD, which reached significance by Day 16. This was preceded by three-fold increases in expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and type I collagen (COL I) at Days 8 and 12 respectively. In contrast, osteocalcin, osteopontin, and osteonectin expression showed no change during this initial period, although modest increases were observed at later times (i.e., Days 20 and 24). Our results suggest that osteocalcin, osteopontin, and osteonectin are not involved in the initial phase of the osteogenic response to estrogen, suggesting that these non-collagenous bone proteins do not play a direct role in the formation of mineralised bone matrix by osteoblasts in vivo.  相似文献

Summary Atherosclerotic lesions are composed of cellular elements that have migrated from the vessel lumen and wall to form the cellular component of the developing plaque. The cellular elements are influenced by various growth-regulatory molecules, cytokines, chemoattractants, and vasoregulatory molecules that regulate the synthesis of the extracellular matrix composing the plaque. Because vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) constitute the major cellular elements of the atherosclerotic plaque and are thought to be responsible for the extracellular matrix that becomes calcified in mature plaques, immunostaining for collagenous and noncollagenous proteins typically associated with bone matrix was conducted on VSMC grownin vitro. VSMC obtained from human aorta were grown in chambers on glass slides and immunostained for procollagen type I, bone sialoprotein, osteonectin, osteocalcin, osteopontin, decorin, and biglycan. VSMC demonstrated an intense staining for procollagen type I, and a moderately intense staining for the noncollagenous proteins, bone sialoprotein and osteonectin, two proteins closely associated with bone mineralization. Minimal immunostaining was noted for osteocalcin, osteopontin, decorin, and biglycan. The presence in VSMC of collagenous and noncollagenous proteins associated with bone mineralization suggest that the smooth muscle cells in the developing atherosclerotic plaque play an important role in the deposition of the extracellular matrix involved in calcification of developing lesions.  相似文献

We have examined the effects of BMP-2 on the expression of bone matrix proteins in both human bone marrow stromal cells (HBMSC) and human osteoblasts (HOB) and their proliferation and mineralization. Both HBMSC and HOB express BMP-2/-4 type I and type II receptors. Treatment of these two cell types with BMP-2 for 4 weeks in the presence of β-glycerophosphate and ascorbic acid results in mineralization of their matrix. BMP-2 increases the mRNA level and activities of alkaline phosphatase and elevates the mRNA levels and protein synthesis of osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin, and α1(I) collagen in both cell types. Whereas the mRNA level of decorin is increased, the mRNA concentration of biglycan is not altered by BMP-2. No effect on osteonectin is observed. The effect of BMP-2 on bone matrix protein expression is dose dependent from 25 to 100 ng/ml and is evident after 1–7 days treatment. In the presence of BMP-2, proliferation of HBMSC and HOB is decreased under either serum-free condition or in the presence of serum. Thus, BMP-2 has profound effects on the proliferation, expression of most of the bone matrix proteins and the mineralization of both relatively immature human bone marrow stromal preosteoblasts and mature human osteoblasts.

Four major non-collagenous bone proteins were localised by single and double immuno-histochemistry during de novo mineralisation and bone resorption. Both osteopontin and bone sialoprotein were localised ahead of the mineralisation front, suggesting that both proteins are necessary for the initiation of bone mineralisation. This supports previous suggestions that bone sialoprotein acts as a crystal nucleator. The role of osteopontin is less certain, but might be related to ensuring that only the right type of crystal is formed. Osteocalcin and osteonectin were not present in areas of first crystal formation, but were present in the fully mineralised matrix. Their role may be to control the size and speed of crystal formation. Osteopontin, bone sialoproteins and osteocalcin (but not osteonectin) were also present at reversal lines. Interpreting this localisation together with information from the literature, the following functions are suggested during resorption: Osteocalcin may act as a chemoattractant for osteoclasts, while both osteopontin and bone sialoprotein may facilitate the binding of osteoclasts via the arg-gly-asp motif.  相似文献

Bone marrow contains multipotent cells that differentiate into fibroblasts, adipocytes, and osteoblasts. Recently we found that type I collagen matrix induced the osteoblastic differentiation of bone marrow cells. Three weeks after cells were cultured with type I collagen, they formed mineralized tissues. In this study, we investigated the expression of osteoblast-related genes (alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein, osteopontin, and cbfa-1) during the osteoblastic differentiation. The expression of alkaline phosphatase and osteopontin genes increased time-dependently during the osteoblastic differentiation. Osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein genes were expressed in cells that formed mineralized tissues, and both were expressed only after cells reached the mineralized tissue-formation stage. On the other hand, the cbfa-1 gene was expressed from the early differentiation stage. The Asp-Gly-Glu-Ala (DGEA) amino acid domain of type I collagen interacts with the alpha2beta1 integrin receptor on the cell membrane and mediates extracellular signals into cells. When the collagen-integrin interaction was interrupted by the addition of DGEA peptide to the culture, the expression of osteoblastic phenotypes of bone marrow cells was inhibited. These findings imply that the collagen-alpha2beta1 integrin interaction is an important signal for the osteoblastic differentiation of bone marrow cells.  相似文献

 Cultures of isolated osteocytes may offer an appropriate system to study osteocyte function, since isolated osteocytes in culture behave very much like osteocytes in vivo. In this paper we studied the capacity of osteocytes to change their surrounding extracellular matrix by production of matrix proteins. With an immunocytochemical method we determined the presence of collagen type I, fibronectin, osteocalcin, osteopontin and osteonectin in cultures of isolated chicken osteocytes, osteoblasts and periosteal fibroblasts. In osteoblast and periosteal fibroblast cultures, large extracellular networks of collagen type I and fibronectin were formed, but in osteocyte populations, extracellular threads of collagen or fibronectin were only rarely found. The percentage of cells positive for osteocalcin, osteonectin and osteopontin in the Golgi apparatus, on the other hand, was highest in the osteocyte population. These results show that osteocytes have the ability to alter the composition of their surrounding extracellular matrix by producing matrix proteins. We suggest this property is of importance for the regulation of the calcification of the bone matrix immediately surrounding the cells. More importantly, as osteocytes depend for their role as mechanosensor cells on their interaction with matrix proteins, the adaptation of the surrounding matrix offers a way to regulate their response to mechanical loading.

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of cytokines that are characterized by their ability to stimulate osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. However, the influence of BMPs on osteoblastic cells at different stages of differentiation is not known. Since bone matrix proteins are differentially regulated during bone formation we have studied the effects of recombinant human osteogenic protein-1 (rhOP-1; BMP-7) on the expression of these proteins by fetal rat calvarial cells (FRCCs) at discrete stages of osteoblast differentiation. Continuous administration of rhOP-1 to FRCCs, beginning at confluence (day 7), produced a dose-dependent increase in the number, size and mineralization of bone-like nodules formed in the presence of vitamin C and β-glycerophosphate. Within 9 h of administration, rhOP-1 stimulated a 3-fold increase in OPN mRNA which was reflected in a comparable increase in the low phosphorylated, 55 kDa form of osteopontin. In contrast, changes in type I collagen, alkaline phosphatase and bone sialoprotein mRNAs followed the differentiation of preosteoblastic cells, and were increased 2-, 4- and 5-fold, respectively, after 8 days (day 15). When administered at intermediate stages of osteoblast differentiation (days 12, 15 and 18) BSP remained refractory to rhOP-1 whereas the ALP was increased almost 2-fold, independent of the constitutive levels of mRNA expression. To determine the effects on osteoblasts, FRCCs were first grown to the bone nodule-forming stage (day 21) before rhOP-1 was administered. Only modest, transient increases in the expression of ALP and OPN mRNAs were evident whereas OC expression was increased more than 3-fold. In contrast, collagen type I and BSP mRNA levels were not changed significantly. These results suggest that rhOP-1 increases bone formation by promoting osteoblastic differentiation, as indicated by the increased number of bone forming colonies and by increasing the number of osteoblastic cells in the colonies, but not by increasing matrix production by individual osteoblasts. It is also evident that the regulation of bone matrix proteins by rhOP-1 is dependent upon the differentiated state of the cell. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

We have used in situ hybridization to evaluate the effects of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25 (OH)2 D3) on the expression of mRNA for bone-matrix proteins and to determine whether mature osteoblasts respond differently to 1,25 (OH)2 D3 than younger, newly differentiated osteoblasts. Rat calvaria cells were cultured for 7, 12, 15, and 19 days to obtain a range of nodules from very young to very mature. At each time point, some cultures were treated with 10 nM 1,25 (OH)2 D3 for 24 h prior to fixation. In control cultures, type-I collagen mRNA was detectable in osteoblastic cells in very young nodules and increased with increasing maturity of the nodules and the osteoblasts lining them. The bone sialoprotein mRNA signal was weak in young osteoblasts, increased in older osteoblasts, and decreased in mature osteoblasts. Weak osteocalcin and osteopontin signals were seen only in osteoblasts of intermediate and mature nodules. 1,25 (OH)2 D3 treatment markedly upregulated osteocalcin and osteopontin mRNAs and downregulated mRNA levels of bone sialoprotein and, to a lesser extent, type-I collagen in both young and mature osteoblasts. However, a marked diversity of signal levels for bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin, and osteopontin existed between neighboring mature osteoblasts, particularly after 1,25 (OH)2 D3 treatment, which may therefore selectively affect mature osteoblasts, depending on their differentiation status or functional stage of activity.  相似文献

We have compared the expression of osteonectin with that of osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein during bone formation in the rat mandible, using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Expression of osteonectin, osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein mRNAs were first observed in newly differentiated osteoblasts of the developing mandible at embryonic day 15 (E15) and subsequently increased with the number of osteoblasts through E20. Definitive osteonectin immunostaining was observed in newly differentiated osteoblasts, but not in the intercellular unmineralized matrix. Immunostaining for osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein was visible in osteoblasts and unmineralized matrix. Concomitant with the initiation of matrix mineralization at E16, mineralized bone matrix showed osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein immunostaining, but lacked osteonectin immuno-staining. The same staining profile was observed during subsequent phases of bone formation at E17–20. However, sequential demineralization with ethanolic trimethylammonium EDTA and protease digestion of tissue sections demonstrated prominent osteonectin immunostaining of the mineralized bone matrix. Western blot analysis of osteonectin in extracts of fresh specimens at E18 and 20 revealed that an EDTA extract contains osteonectin having M r approximately 50kDa. These results indicate that newly differentiated osteoblasts synthesize and secrete osteonectin, which is mainly incorporated into the mineralized bone matrix and becomes a specific component of developing manibula of foetal rats.  相似文献

We have examined the ability of dexamethasone, retinoic acid, and vitamin D3 to induce osteogenic differentiation in rat marrow stromal cell cultures by measuring the expression of mRNAs associated with the differentiated osteoblast phenotype as well as analyzing collagen secretion and alkaline phosphatase activity. Marrow cells were cultured for 8 days in primary culture and 8 days in secondary culture, with and without 10 nM dexamethasone or 1 microM retinoic acid. Under all conditions, cultures produced high levels of osteonectin mRNA. Cells grown with dexamethasone in both primary and secondary culture contained elevated alkaline phosphatase mRNA and significant amounts of type I collagen and osteopontin mRNA. Addition of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 to these dexamethasone-treated cultures induced expression of osteocalcin mRNA and increased osteopontin mRNA. The levels of alkaline phosphatase, osteopontin, and osteocalcin mRNAs in Dex/Dex/VitD3 cultures were comparable to those of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-treated ROS 17/2.8 osteosarcoma cells. Omitting dexamethasone from either primary or secondary culture resulted in significantly less alkaline phosphatase mRNA, little osteopontin mRNA, and no osteocalcin mRNA. Retinoic acid increased alkaline phosphatase activity to a greater extent than did dexamethasone but did not have a parallel effect on the expression of alkaline phosphatase mRNA and induced neither osteopontin or osteocalcin mRNAs. In all conditions, marrow stromal cells synthesized and secreted a mixture of type I and III collagens. However, dexamethasone-treated cells also synthesized an additional collagen type, provisionally identified as type V. The synthesis and secretion of collagens type I and III was decreased by both dexamethasone and retinoic acid. Neither dexamethasone nor retinoic acid induced mRNAs associated with the chondrogenic phenotype. We conclude that dexamethasone, but not retinoic acid, promotes the expression of markers of the osteoblast phenotype in cultures of rat marrow stromal fibroblasts.  相似文献

The biomimetic approach of tissue engineering exploits the favorable properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM), to achieve better scaffold performance and tissue regeneration. ECM proteins regulate cell adhesion and differentiation through integrin mediated signal transduction. In the present study, we have examined the role of ECM proteins such as collagen type I, fibronectin, laminin and vitronectin in regulating the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow derived human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). hMSCs were grown on selected ECM protein treated tissue culture plates. The growth kinetics was assessed by calculating the doubling time of the cells on different ECM treated plates. The cells were directed to osteoblast lineage by growing them in osteogenic induction media for 21 day. Differentiation was evaluated at different time points by osteoblast differentiation associated gene expression, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, histochemical staining for mineralized matrix and calcium quantification. The doubling time of hMSCs cultured on collagen type I was significantly low, which was followed by laminin and fibronectin treated plates. However, doubling time of hMSCs cultured on vitronectin treated plate was not significantly different than that of the untreated control. High ALP gene (ALPL) expression and associated enhancement of mineralization were observed on collagen type I, fibronectin and vitronectin treated plates. Collagen type I showed early onset of mineralization with high ALP activity and up-regulation of osteopontin, ALPL, bone sialoprotein and osteocalcin genes. Vitronectin also up-regulated these genes and showed the highest amount of calcium in the secreted mineral matrix. Therefore, we conclude that, ECM proteins indeed modified the growth patterns and induced the osteoblast differentiation of hMSCs. Our findings have significant implication for bone tissue engineering applications.  相似文献

Glucocorticoids have been shown to induce the differentiation of bone marrow stromal osteoprogenitor cells into osteoblasts and the mineralization of the matrix. Since the expression of bone matrix proteins is closely related to the differentiation status of osteoblasts and because matrix proteins may play important roles in the mineralization process, we investigated the effects of dexamethasone (Dex) on the expression of bone matrix proteins in cultured normal human bone marrow stromal cells (HBMSC). Treatment of HBMSC with Dex for 23 days resulted in a significant increase in alkaline phosphatase activity with maximum values attained on day 20 at which time the cell matrix was mineralized. Northern blot analysis revealed an increase in the steady-state mRNA level of alkaline phosphatase over 4 weeks of Dex exposure period. The observed increase in the alkaline phosphatase mRNA was effective at a Dex concentration as low as 10−10 M with maximum values achieved at 10−8 M. In contrast, Dex decreased the steady-state mRNA levels of both bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteopontin (OPN) over a 4 week observation period when compared to the corresponding control values. The relative BSP and OPN mRNA levels among the Dex treated cultures, however, showed a steady increase after more than 1 week exposure. The expression of osteocalcin mRNA which was decreased after 1 day Dex exposure was undetectable 4 days later. Neither control nor Dex-treated HBMSC secreted osteocalcin into the conditioned media in the absence of 1,25(OH)2D3 during a 25-day observation period. The accumulated data indicate that Dex has profound and varied effects on the expression of matrix proteins produced by human bone marrow stromal cells. With the induced increment in alkaline phosphatase correlating with the mineralization effects of Dex, the observed concomitant decrease in osteopontin and bone sialoprotein mRNA levels and the associated decline of osteocalcin are consistent with the hypothesis that the regulation of the expression of these highly negatively charged proteins is essential in order to maximize the Dex-induced mineralization process conditioned by normal human bone marrow stromal osteoprogenitor cells. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

Rat frontonasal and mandibular mesenchyme was isolated from day-12 1/2 (stage-22) rat embryos and cultured at high density for up to 12 days. The stage chosen was based on the observation that mandibular mesenchyme at this stage became independent of its epithelium with respect to the production of both cartilage and bone. Frontonasal cultures developed aggregates of anastomosing columns of cells within 2 days. These grew as the cells enlarged, laying down an Alcian-blue-positive matrix by day 3 of culture. Significant mineral was detected by von Kossa staining by day 5 at which time the aggregates covered a large portion of the culture, eventually covering the entire micromass by day 10-12. Mandibular cultures developed centrally located nodular aggregates by 3 days of culture. These nodules increased in number, spreading outwards as the cells enlarged, laying down an Alcian-blue-positive matrix by day 4 and mineral by days 6-7. At this time the nodules began to elongate and coalesce, but never covered the entire culture over the 12-day period. Antibody staining revealed that in both cultures the cells were initially positive for type I collagen. Subsequently, the aggregates began expressing type II collagen, followed by type X, which coincided with the onset of mineralization. At this time some cells were negative for these cartilage markers, but positive for osteoblast markers, bone sialoprotein II, osteocalcin and type I collagen. In addition osteonectin and alkaline phosphatase were demonstrable in all of the aggregate cells late in the culture period. This provided clear evidence that chondroblast and osteoblast differentiation was proceeding within these cultures. The culture of rat facial mesenchyme should prove very useful, not only for the analysis of bone and cartilage induction and lineage relationships, but also in furthering our knowledge of craniofacial differentiation, growth and pattern formation by extending our analysis to a mammalian system.  相似文献

In the presentstudy, we evaluated the possibility that the abnormal bone matrixproduced during spaceflight may be associated with reduced expressionof bone matrix protein genes. To test this possibility, we investigatedthe effects of a 14-day spaceflight (SLS-2 experiment) on steady-statemRNA levels for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH),osteocalcin, osteonectin, and prepro-(1) subunit of type I collagenin the major bone compartments of rat femur. There were pronouncedsite-specific differences in the steady-state levels of expression ofthe mRNAs for the three bone matrix proteins and GAPDH in normalweight-bearing rats, and these relationships were altered afterspaceflight. Specifically, spaceflight resulted in decreases in mRNAlevels for GAPDH (decreased in proximal metaphysis), osteocalcin(decreased in proximal metaphysis), osteonectin (decreased in proximaland distal metaphysis), and collagen (decreased in proximal and distalmetaphysis) compared with ground controls. There were no changes inmRNA levels for matrix proteins or GAPDH in the shaft and distalepiphysis. These results demonstrate that spaceflight leads to site-and gene-specific decreases in mRNA levels for bone matrix proteins.These findings are consistent with the hypothesis thatspaceflight-induced decreases in bone formation are caused byconcomitant decreases in expression of genes for bone matrix proteins.

Seventeen day chicken embryonic osteoblasts treated over a 30-day period with 1,25(OH)2 D3 showed a 2–10-fold decrease in collagen, osteopontin and osteocalcin protein accumulation, alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity, and mineral deposition. Comparable inhibition in the steady state mRNA levels for α1(I) and α2(I) collagen, osteocalcin, and osteopontin were observed, and the inhibitory action of the hormone was shown to be specific for only the late release populations of cells from sequential enzyme digestions of the chick calvaria. In order to determine whether the continuous hormone treatment blocked osteoblast differentiation, the cells were acutely treated for 24 h with 1,25(OH)2 D3 at culture periods when the cells proliferate (day 5), a culture period when the cells cease further cell division and are increasing in the expression of their differentiated functions (day 17), and a culture period when the cells are encapsulated within a mineralized extracellular matrix (day 30). Inhibition of the expression of collagen, osteocalcin, and osteopontin were observed at days 17 and 30, while no effect could be detected for the 5-day cultures. To further define whether the inhibitory effect was specific for cells expressing their differentiated phenotype, 1,25(OH)2 D3 treatment was initiated at day 17 and continued to day 30 after the cells have established their collagenous matrix. In these experiments further collagenous matrix deposition, mineral deposition, alkaline phosphatase activity, and osteocalcin synthesis were also inhibited after the hormone treatment was initiated. These results, in summary, show that 1,25(OH)2 D3 in primary avian osteoblast cultures derived from 17-day embryonic calvaria inhibits the expression of several genes associated with differentiated osteoblast function and inhibit extracellular matrix mineral deposition.  相似文献

It has previously been shown that mice with a defect in Fas ligand-mediated apoptosis have an enhancement of ectopic bone formation. We investigated the expression of bone-related markers--alkaline phosphatase, collagen, bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin, osteopontin, and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) -2, -4, and -7; and cytokines interleukin-1alpha (IL-1), IL-1beta, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in ectopic new bone induced by recombinant human (rh) BMP-2 in mice without functional Fas-ligand (gld mice). At day 6 after rhBMP-2 implantation, gld mice formed more cartilage and mesenchyme compared with their wild type littermates. At later stages, gld mice did not differ from the control mice in the volume of newly formed tissue, expressing higher level of BMP genes and lower levels of genes involved in osteoblast maturation--bone sialoprotein and osteopontin. Differences in the levels of expression of IL-1alpha and TNF-alpha were observed only at day 12 after rhBMP-2 implantation. These results suggest that gld mice have an increased recruitment of cells of mesenchymal origin and an abnormal pattern of differentiation and maturation of the newly formed mesenchymal tissues.  相似文献

Using MG-63 cells as a model system capable of partial osteoblastic differentiation, we have examined the effect of growth on extracellular matrix. MG-63 cell matrix and purified type I collagen induced a morphological change characterized by long cytoplasmic processes reminiscent of those seen in osteocytes. Concurrent biochemical changes involving bone marker proteins included increased specific activity of cell-associated alkaline phosphatase and increased secretion of osteonectin (up to 2.5-fold for each protein); all changes occurred without alterations in the growth kinetics of the MG-63 cells. The increase in alkaline phosphatase activity was maximal on days 6-8 following seeding; increased osteonectin secretion was most prominent immediately following seeding; all changes decreased as cells reached confluence. Growing cells on type I collagen resulted in an increased induction of alkaline phosphatase activity by 1,25(OH)2D3 (with little change in the 1,25(OH)2D3 induction of osteonectin and osteocalcin secretion), and increased TGF-beta induction of alkaline phosphatase activity as well (both TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2). Both the 1,25(OH)2D3 and TGF-beta effects appeared to be synergistic with growth on type I collagen. These studies support the hypothesis that bone extracellular matrix may play an important role in osteoblastic differentiation and phenotypic expression.  相似文献
