To assess the role of OASIS in vivo, we generated OASIS deficient mice. The mice exhibited osteopenia and growth retardation. Histological, and molecular and cellular biological analyses revealed that OASIS is involved in bone formation through transcription of type I collagen and secretion of bone matrix proteins. In contrast, the growth retardation in OASIS deficient mice were not improved by OASIS introduction in osteoblasts, indicating that the growth retardation is caused by the decrease in growth hormone and IGF-1 levels in OASIS deficient mice.
