OBJECTIVE Many Sox proteins play important roles both in mesoderm and ectoderm development. It is reported that Sox2, a member of this family, is essential for the maintenance of the self-renewal of embryonic stem cells (ES) and neural stem cells (NSCs). To investigate whether Sox2 participates in mesoderm development besides ectoderm, Sox2 was introduced into C3H10T1/2 cells. METHODS We produced recombinant retrovirus expressing Sox2 in GP2-293t cells and infected the virus into C3H10T1/2 cells. Growth property, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, mineralized nodules, osteogenic gene expression and related signal pathways were analysed and compared between Sox2-expressing cells and control cells. RESULTS Sox2 over-expression led to increased proliferation of C3H10T1/2 cells, activation of Wnt/β-catenin and p38MAPK pathways. When cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium, ALP and mineralized nodules formation were inhibited in Sox2 over-expressing cells with down-regulation of osteogenic gene expression as well as inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin and p38MAPK pathways. CONCLUSIONS All these data suggested that over-expression of Sox2 promoted proliferation and inhibited osteoblast differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

D051153 Wnt Proteins Wnt proteins are a large family of secreted glycoproteins that play essential roles in EMBRYONIC AND FETAL DEVELOPMENT, and tissue maintenance. They bind to FRIZZLED RECEPTORS and act as PARACRINE PROTEIN FACTORS to initiate a variety of SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION PATHWAYS. The canonical Wnt signaling pathway stabilizes the transcriptional coactivator BETA CATENIN.

D051176 beta Catenin A multi-functional catenin that participates in CELL ADHESION and nuclear signaling. Beta catenin binds CADHERINS and helps link their cytoplasmic tails to the ACTIN in the CYTOSKELETON via ALPHA CATENIN. It also serves as a transcriptional co-activator and downstream component of WNT PROTEIN-mediated SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION PATHWAYS. beta-Catenin,Catenin, beta
