Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We expected that suppression of p57Kip2 could increase osteoblastic proliferation, resulted in improvement of osteoporosis patients. A cell cycle regulator, p57Kip2-null mice had osteoblasts with high proliferation rates and their osteoclasts maturation were less than the wild-type mice. On the other hand, a cell cycle acceleration prolyl isomerase, Pin1-null mice displayed typical osteoporotic symptoms with many maturated osteoclasts. Then we created p57Kip2/Pin1 double deficient mice, which also showed the phenotypes similar to p57Kip2-null mice. So we thought that p57Kip2 might be under Pin1 in osteoblasts,and the osteoporosis with Pin1 inactivation could be improved by p57Kip2 suppression.
