## Abstract Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a secreted member of the tumor necrosis receptor superfamily, is a potent inhibitor of osteoclast formation and bone resorption. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), a potent inducer of osteoclast formation, suppresses OPG mRNA expression in vitro and in vivo. To determine

Adrenomedullin (ADM) plays an important role in the regulation of osteoblastic cells through both a proliferative and an anti-apoptotic effects. The present study investigated mechanisms involved in the effect of ADM on survival. We report that ADM can act in osteoblasts both through a non-transcrip
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptors and the biological response to PTH in osteoblasts have been shown to be influenced by glucocorticoids, growth factors, cytokines or PTH itself. Furthermore, components of extracellular matrix (ECM) appear to regulate the response to PTH as well. We investigated th
## Abstract The Cbfa1/Runx2 is an important transcription factor necessary for osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. However, the signaling pathways regulating Runx2 activity are just beginning to be understood. Inconsistencies between Runx2 mRNA or protein levels and its transcriptional a
Although basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) had been shown to inhibit type I collagen gene expression in osteoblast, its inhibitory mechanism is unknown. In the present study, we investigated the underlying mechanisms by which growth factors downregulate type I collagen gene expression. Treatmen
