## Abstract Several biomaterials have been widely used in bone regeneration/substitution procedures in orthopedic and oral surgery. However, how these biomaterials alter osteoblast gene expression is poorly understood. We therefore attempted to address this question by using cDNA microarray techniq

β¦ Synopsis
Though extensive studies have been conducted, questions regarding the molecular effectors and pathways underlying the regulatory role of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 in human osteoblasts other than cell differentiation and matrix protein production remain unanswered. This study aims to identify genes and pathways that are modulated by 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 treatment in human osteoblasts. Primary osteoblast cultures obtained from human bone tissue samples were treated with 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 (10 Γ7 M) for 24 h and their transcritptomes were profiled by microarray analysis using the Affymetrix GeneChip 1 . Statistical analysis was conducted to identify genes whose expression is significantly modulated following 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 treatment. One hundred and fifty-eight genes were found to be differentially expressed. Of these, 136 were upregulated, indicating clear transcriptional activation by 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 . Biostatistical evaluation of microarray data by Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) revealed a relevant modulation of genes involved in vitamin D metabolism (CYP24), immune functions (CD14), neurotransmitter transporters (SLC1A1, SLC22A3), and coagulation [thrombomodulin (THBD), tissue plasminogen activator (PLAT), endothelial protein C receptor (PROCR), thrombin receptor (F2R)]. We identified a restricted number of highly regulated genes and confirmed their differential expression by real-time quantitative PCR (RT qPCR). The present genome-wide microarray analysis on 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 -treated human osteoblasts reveals an interplay of critical regulatory and metabolic pathways and supports the hypothesis that 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 can modulate the coagulation process through osteoblasts, activates osteoclastogenesis through inflammation signaling, modulates the effects of monoamines by affecting their reuptake.

## Abstract Osteoblasts are attachmentβdependent cells that interact with their surface through integrinβmediated mechanisms. Their differentiation is regulated by 1,25βdihydroxyvitamin D3 [1Ξ±,25(OH)~2~D~3~] and is affected by substrate chemistry and microtopography, suggesting that 1Ξ±,25(OH)~2~D~3
Core binding factor alpha 1 (Cbfa1) is an osteoblast-specific transcription factor essential to develop a mature osteoblast phenotype. However, its exact role in the signaling of various osteotropic-differentiating agents is still unclear. In this study, we assessed the effects of 1,25-(OH)(2)-D3 (D
The unique hereditary enamel defect clearly related to the disturbance of one enamel matrix protein is X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), in which several mutations of amelogenin gene have been identified. The clinical phenotype of many of these subjects shows similarities with enamel defects re
The effects of hormonal modulators of osteoblast function, parathyroid hormone, 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 and prostaglandins on [Ca 2Ο© ] i in periosteal-derived osteoblasts from rat femurs have been investigated. Our results show that application of parathyroid hormone PTH (10 Οͺ5 M) and prostaglandin E 2 (PGE
The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a nuclear receptor that mediates the effect of the active metabolite of vitamin D3, the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3). To investigate the potential role of this hormone in the peripheral nervous system, we have studied the VDR expression in Schwann cells. Th
