Abstract:
Activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) has been identified as a negative regulator of osteoblast differentiation in in vitro study. However, it was not associated with osteoblast differentiation in in vivo study. To provide an understanding of the discrepancy between the in vivo and in vitro findings regarding the function of ATF3 in osteoblasts, we investigated the unidentified roles of ATF3 in osteoblast biology. ATF3 enhanced osteoprotegerin (OPG) production, not only in osteoblast precursor cells, but also during osteoblast differentiation and osteoblastic adipocyte differentiation. In a

The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib may increase osteoblast-related markers in multiple myeloma (MM) patients; however, its potential osteoblastic stimulatory effect is not known.

Abstract The vitamin D endocrine system is important for skeletal homeostasis. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] impacts bone indirectly by promoting intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate and directly by acting on osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Despite the direct actions of 1,25(OH)2D3 in bone, relatively little is known of the mechanisms or target genes that are regulated by 1,25(OH)2D3 in skeletal cells.

Abstract:
A number of clinical studies have demonstrated that norethisterone (NET), a potent synthetic progestin, restores postmenopausal bone loss, although its mode of action on bone cells is not fully understood, while the effect of naturally occurring progesterone in bone has remained controversial. A recent report claims that the potent effects of NET on osteoblastic cell proliferation and differentiation, mimicking the action of estrogens, are mediated by non-phenolic NET derivatives. To determine whether osteoblasts possess the enzymes required to bioconvert a progesterone receptor (PR) agonist i

Abstract Osteoblasts arise from common progenitors with chondrocytes, muscle and adipocytes, and various hormones and local factors regulate their differentiation. We review here regulation of osteoblast differentiation mediated by the local factors such as bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and hedgehogs and the transcription factor, core-binding factor α-1 (Cbfa1). BMPs are the most potent regulators of osteoblast differentiation among the local factors. Sonic and Indian hedgehogs are involved in osteoblast differentiation by interacting with BMPs.

Abstract:
Osteoblasts are the skeletal cells responsible for synthesis, deposition and mineralization of the extracellular matrix of bone. By mechanisms that are only beginning to be understood, stem and primitive osteoprogenitors and related mesenchymal precursors arise in the embryo and at least some appear to persist in the adult organism, where they contribute to replacement of osteoblasts in bone turnover and in fracture healing. In this review, we describe the morphological, molecular, and biochemical criteria by which osteoblasts are defined and cell culture approaches that have helped to clarify

Abstract Osteoblast impairment occurs within myeloma (MM) cell infiltration into the bone marrow (BM). Wnt signaling is involved in the regulation of osteoblast formation. Canonical Wnt signaling pathway is activated by Wnt 1/3a that induce the activation of GSK3/Axin complex leading to the stabilization and nuclear translocation of beta-catenin that in turn activates the transcription system Lef1/TCF. Recently it has been reported that MM cells produce the Wnt inhibitors DKK-1 demonstrating a correlation between its expression and the presence of bone lesions in MM patients. However the effec

Reporter assays indicate that p53 represses osterix transcription by the minimal promoter in a DNA-binding–independent manner.

Patients with HA exhibit low bone mineral density (BMD) and heightened fracture risk, and osteopenia and osteoporosis have been reported as early as 12 years of age. Deficiency of factor VIII (FVIII) could be contributing to an imbalance in bone metabolism, leading to reduced BMD. The reduction in BMD may be caused by altered signaling between cells responsible for bone remodeling: osteoblasts for building and osteoclasts for resorption. However,
