Figure Legend Snippet: Fig. 1. EGFR signaling suppresses osteoblast differentiation through Ras. A) Expression of EGF family members mRNA in osteoblasts. MC3T3-E1 cells were induced to differentiate into osteoblasts, and the mRNA expression of EGF family members was monitored by RT-PCR at the indicated time points. GAPDH was used as an internal control. Hb-egf, heparin-biding EGF-like growth factor; Tgfα, transforming growth factor-α; Areg, amphiregulin; Epr, epiregulin; Btc, betacellulin. P, positive control. mRNA from mouse heart, liver, and lung was used as a positive control. B) Effect of rHB-EGF on osteoblastogenesis. MC3T3-E1 cells were seeded on 24-well plates, and osteoblast differentiation was induced. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralizing activity were measured by ALP staining (upper panel) and Alizarin red staining (lower panel), respectively, at the indicated time points. C) Expression of osteoblastic marker genes in MC3T3-E1 cells. Cells were cultured in osteogenic media in the presence of rHB-EGF, and the mRNA expression of the indicated genes was monitored by RT-PCR. ColI, Collagen type I; Alp, alkaline phosphatase; Opn, osteopontin; Ocn, osteocalcin. GAPDH was used as an internal control. D) Activation of ERK in osteoblast differentiation. The phosphorylated form of ERK was visualized by Western blotting. MC3T3-E1 cells were stimulated with rHB-EGF for 5 min in the presence of the indicated inhibitors. A.A., ascorbic acid; HB, rHB-EGF; αHB, anti-human HB-EGF neutralizing antibody; PD, PD98059, MEK inhibitor; AG, AG1478, EGFR inhibitor. E) MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in osteogenic media stimulated with rHB-EGF and indicated inhibitors as shown in D) for 3 days and ALP staining was carried out. F) Involvement of Ras in osteoblast differentiation. A dominant-negative form of Ras was expressed in MC3T3-E1 cells, and ALP staining was performed three days after osteogenic stimulation in the presence or absence of rHB-EGF. Mock, empty vector.
