Glucocorticoids Induce Rapid Up-Regulation of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Phosphatase-1 and Dephosphorylation of Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase and Impair Proliferation in Human and Mouse Osteoblast Cell Lines

A central feature of glucocorticoid (GC)-induced osteoporosis is decreased bone formation, secondary to decreased numbers of functional osteoblasts. We find that ERK activity is essential for serum-induced osteoblast proliferation in vitro because inhibition of MAPK/ERK kinase activity by U0126 comp...

Description
Summary:A central feature of glucocorticoid (GC)-induced osteoporosis is decreased bone formation, secondary to decreased numbers of functional osteoblasts. We find that ERK activity is essential for serum-induced osteoblast proliferation in vitro because inhibition of MAPK/ERK kinase activity by U0126 completely abolished both serum-induced activation of ERK and proliferation of mouse (MBA-15.4) and human (MG-63) osteoblast cell lines.
