Abstract

Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (Erks), members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase superfamily, play an important role in cell proliferation and differentiation. In this study we employed a dominant negative approach to determine the role of Erks in the regulation of human osteoblastic cell function. Human osteoblastic cells were transduced with a pseudotyped retrovirus encoding either a mutated Erk1 protein with a dominant negative action against both Erk1 and Erk2 (Erk1DN cells) or the LacZ protein (LacZ cells) as a control. Both basal and growth factor-stimulated MAPK activity and cell proliferation were inhibited in Erk1DN cells. Expression of Erk1DN protein suppressed both osteoblast differentiation and matrix mineralization by decreasing alkaline phosphatase activity and the deposition of bone matrix proteins. Cell adhesion to collagen, osteopontin, and vitronectin was decreased in Erk1DN cells as compared with LacZ cells. Cell spreading and migration on these matrices were also inhibited. In Erk1DN cells, expression of alphabeta(1), alpha(v)beta(3), and alpha(v)beta(5) integrins on the surface was decreased. Metabolic labeling indicated that the synthesis of these integrins was inhibited in Erk1DN cells. These data suggest that Erks are not only essential for the growth and differentiation of osteoblasts but also are important for osteoblast adhesion, spreading, migration, and integrin expression.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
