Research Abstract

C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a potent stimulator of long bone and vertebra development via endochondral ossification. In the present study, we investigated the effects of CNP on craniofacial skeletogenesis, which consists of both endochondral and membranous ossifications. Morphometric analyses of crania from CNP knockout and transgenic mice revealed that CNP stimulates longitudinal growth along the cranium length, but does not regulate the cranium width. These results indicate that CNP primarily stimulates endochondral ossification in the craniofacial region and is crucial for midfacial skeletogenesis.
