| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Osterix is essential transcription factor for osteoblast differentiation which promotes differentiation from preosteoblast to mature osteoblast by activation of several osteoblastic genes. In this study, we investigated mechanism of Osterix expression by Smad3 and MATII in mouse preosteobalastic cell line(MC3T3-E1 cell).Smad3 and MATII interact with each other and repress expression of Osterix. MATII is enzyme which has relation to transmethylation reactions involving histones, so these findings may suggest that this complex regulates Osterix through the mechanism including histone methylation.
