Journal ArticleDOI
Notch Inhibits Osteoblast Differentiation And Causes Osteopenia
Stefano Zanotti,Anna Smerdel-Ramoya,Anna Smerdel-Ramoya,Lisa Stadmeyer,Deena Durant,Freddy Radtke,Ernesto Canalis,Ernesto Canalis +7 more
TL;DR: Notch signaling in osteoblasts causes osteopenia and impairs osteo-blastogenesis by inhibiting the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway, and the effects of notch1 deletion in vivo are determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glucocorticoid Suppression of IGF I Transcription in Osteoblasts
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cortisol represses IGF I transcription in osteoblasts, and CAAT/enhancer binding proteins appear to play a role in this effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conditional deletion of gremlin causes a transient increase in bone formation and bone mass
Elisabetta Gazzerro,Elisabetta Gazzerro,Anna Smerdel-Ramoya,Anna Smerdel-Ramoya,Stefano Zanotti,Lisa Stadmeyer,Deena Durant,Aris N. Economides,Ernesto Canalis,Ernesto Canalis +9 more
TL;DR: Deletion of grem1 in the bone microenvironment results in sensitization of BMP signaling and activity and enhanced bone formation in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortisol regulates the expression of Notch in osteoblasts.
TL;DR: It is postulated that cortisol could regulate Notch and Notch ligand expression in osteoblastic cells, providing an additional mechanism by which glucocorticoids could regulate osteoblastics differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Platelet-derived Growth Factor Induces Interleukin-6 Transcription in Osteoblasts through the Activator Protein-1 Complex and Activating Transcription Factor-2
TL;DR: PDGF BB induces IL-6 transcription in osteoblasts by regulating nuclear proteins of the AP-1 complex and activating transcription factor-2, a cytokine that induces osteoclast recruitment.
