BMP2 Regulates Osterix through Msx2 and Runx2 during Osteoblast Differentiation

TL;DR: Osterix is regulated via both Runx2-dependent and -independent mechanisms, and that Osterix controls osteoblast differentiation, at least in part, by regulating the expression of genes not controlled by Runx 2.
Journal ArticleDOI

A bone-seeking clone exhibits different biological properties from the MDA-MB-231 parental human breast cancer cells and a brain-seeking clone in vivo and in vitro.

TL;DR: The data suggest that phenotypic changes allow breast cancer cells to promote osteoclastic bone resorption, survive, and proliferate in bone, which consequently leads to the establishment of bone metastases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Requirement of BMP-2-induced Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase and Akt Serine/Threonine Kinase in Osteoblast Differentiation and Smad-dependent BMP-2 Gene Transcription

TL;DR: Together these data provide the first evidence that activation of BMP receptor serine/threonine kinase stimulates the PI 3 kinase/Akt pathway and define a role for this signal transduction pathway in BMP-specific Smad function during osteoblast differentiation.
