## Abstract Dexamethasone is capable of directing osteoblastic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in vitro, but its effects are not lineageβspecific, and sustained exposure has been shown to downβregulate collagen synthesis and induce maturation of an adipocyte subpopulation withi

β¦ Synopsis
The clonal subtypes of cells in the osteogenic family represented by fibroblastoid , and mature osteoblastic MBA-15.6 cells were used to study the effects of glucocorticoid (dexamethasone). The role of dexamethasone was monitored on cell attachment when plated on various protein substrata (BSA, collagen I, and Matrigel). A 24 h exposure of the cells to 1 0-6 M or 1 O-' M dexamethasone differential affects their attachment preference. MBA-15.33 and MBA-15.4 cells increased their attachment capability on collagen I, while MBA-15.6 cells' attachment was inhibited. Pretreatment with M) dexamethasone caused an increase in attachment on Matrigel by MBA-15.33 cells and to less extent by MBA-15.4 cells. Additionally, measurements of two enzymatic activities were monitored; one is alkaline phosphatase (ALK-P), and the second is neutral endopeptidase (CDI O/NEP). cells were exposed to dexamethasone or to various growth factors (bone morphogenic protein (BMP-2 and BMP-3), TGFP, and IGF-I). In some experiments, pretreatment of cells by dexamethasone was followed by exposure to the growth factors. The cells' challenged cellular responses were not uniform and revealed a differential pattern when their ALK-P and CD1 O/NEP enzymatic activities were measured.

Human osteoblasts express a repertoire of cadherins, including N-cadherin (N-cad), cadherin-11 (C11), and cadherin-4 (C4). We have previously shown that direct cell-cell adhesion via cadherins is critical for BMP-2induced osteoblast differentiation. In this study, we have analyzed the regulation of
In this study, we report on the cell adhesion properties of marrow stromal cells to extracellular matrix components such as collagen and noncollagenous proteins. The osteoblastic cells and their non-osteoblastic counterparts (MBA series) from the marrow stroma differentially recognized a spectrum of

Since the replacement of the hematopoietic system became feasible through bone marrow (BM) transplantation, the idea of how to replace other organs of the body has been in the forefront of medical research. Scientists have been searching for the ideal stem cell that could be manipulated to different
