Popis: | Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is critical in adhesion-dependent signaling, but its role in osteogenesis in vivo is ill defined. We deleted Fak in fibroblasts and osteoblasts in Floxed-Fak mice bred with those expressing Cre-recombinase driven by 3.6-kb α1(I)-collagen promoter. Compared with wild-type (WT), conditional FAK-knockout (CFKO) mice were shorter (2-fold; P 3-fold less than WT, respectively. Disruptions of FAK function in osteoblasts by conditional knockout, siRNA-knockdown, or FAK inhibitor reduced mRNA and protein expression of Runx2 (>30%), Osterix (>25%), and collagen-1 (2-fold). Collagen synthesis was abrogated in WT osteoblasts with Runx2 knockdown and in Fak-null fibroblasts transfected with an FAK kinase domain mutant or a kinase-impaired mutant (Y397F). These data indicate that FAK regulates osteogenesis through transcription factors that regulate collagen synthesis.-Rajshankar, D., Wang, Y., McCulloch, C. A.
