Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), an osteoinductive factor, is a cytokine that induces osteoblast differentiation and mineralization, and expected to be applicable for hard tissue reconstruction. Kielin/chordin-like protein (Kcp), a member of the family of cysteine-rich proteins, enhances BMP signaling. The present study found that expression of Kcp in osteoblasts was induced by BMP-2 in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Up-regulation of Kcp by BMP-2 was inhibited by Dorsomorphin, a SMAD signaling inhibitor. The involvement of up-regulation of Kcp by BMP-2 in induction of osteoblast differentiation by BMP-2 was also examined, which showed that suppression of Kcp expression by si Kcp partially inhibited induction of osteoblast differentiation and mineralization by BMP-2. Together, these results suggest that Kcp induced by BMP-2 functions to provide positive feedback for promotion of osteoblastic differentiation and mineralization by BMP-2 in osteoblasts.

期刊介绍:
Bone Reports is an interdisciplinary forum for the rapid publication of Original Research Articles and Case Reports across basic, translational and clinical aspects of bone and mineral metabolism. The journal publishes papers that are scientifically sound, with the peer review process focused principally on verifying sound methodologies, and correct data analysis and interpretation. We welcome studies either replicating or failing to replicate a previous study, and null findings. We fulfil a critical and current need to enhance research by publishing reproducibility studies and null findings.
