| Research Abstract |
Mechanical stress plays a vital role in maintaining bone architecture. The process by which osteoblasts convert mechanical signal into biochemical responses leading to bone remodeling is not fully understood. In spite of the significant role of channels in osteoblast, the molecular identity of mechanosensitive channels remains unknown. To identify the mechanosensitive channels, we examined the expression level of channels in the clonal mouse osteoblast cell line MC3T3-E1. RT-PCR analysis revealed some mechanosensitive channel genes are expressed in MC3T3-E1 cells.
