HOX gene analysis in the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells

Abstract: Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have the capacity to differentiate into osteoblasts during osteogenesis. Several studies attempted to identify osteogenesis-related genes in hMSCs. Although HOX genes are known to play a pivotal role in skeletogenesis, their function in the osteogenesis of hMSCs has not yet been investigated in detail. Our aim was to characterize the expression of 37 HOX genes by multiplex RT-PCR to identify the ones most probably involved in osteogenic differentiation. … Show more

“…Genes from the HOXC cluster (Homeobox C Cluster) were also reported in muscles where myoblast and myotubes showed differential methylation and that these genes present active promoters and enhancer domains that contain MYOD binding sites [25]. HOXC8 and HOXC11 were reported to be involved in the regulation of osteogenesis [26]. Recently it was suggested by [21] that only a subset of muscles may require HOXC8 protein for full activation of muscle-specific gene expression.…”

“…Considerando o envolvimento de HOXD10 na regulação da diferenciação osteoblástica (CHAE et al, 2008), é possível que estas diferenças na caracterização das linhagens estejam relacionadas com o contraste no papel de HOXD10 observado entre elas.…”
