Pyk2 and Megakaryocytes Regulate Osteoblast Differentiation and Migration Via Distinct and Overlapping Mechanisms

Abstract: Osteoblast differentiation and migration are necessary for bone formation during bone remodeling. Mice lacking the proline-rich tyrosine kinase Pyk2 (Pyk2-KO) have increased bone mass, in part due to increased osteoblast proliferation. Megakaryocytes (MKs), the platelet-producing cells, also promote osteoblast proliferation in vitro and bone-formation in vivo via a pathway that involves Pyk2. In the current study, we examined the mechanism of action of Pyk2, and the role of MKs, on osteoblast differentiation a… Show more

“…Cells were cultured for up to 7 days in osteogenic media to promote osteogenic differentiation and mineral deposition. 39 Osteoblasts on metal plates were fixed with 4% formaldehyde in PBS for 15 minutes. Blocking was performed in 0.1% BSA + 0.05% saponin in PBS for 20 minutes, then labeled for actin with rhodamine phalloidin (Invitrogen, R415) collagen (Chemicon, MAB1330).…”
