| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The ALP activity of mouse primary osteoblasts and MC3T3-E1 cells cultured for 72 hours in the presence of Vwc2 protein was significantly increased compared with that in the absence. In addition, when MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in the presence of Vwc2 protein for 3 weeks, there was a significant increase in mineralization compared with those cultured in the absence. Furthermore, expression of osteoblast differentiation marker was significantly increased in mRNA collected from primary mouse cells cultured in the presence of Vwc2 protein. Even in the in vivo experiments, a significant increase in osteogenesis was observed in the Vwc 2 group as compared with the negative control group, and a significant increase in calcification rate was observed.
