Popis: The aim of the work was to investigate the differential regulation by dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) of the osteoblastic production via the estrogen receptor beta (ER β)-mediated signaling pathway. Having developed hMG63-ER β cells and hMG63-shER β cells, we analyzed the regulation by DHEA of human osteoblastic viability, the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and the differential expression of ER β, ER α, or p-ERK1/2 (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) in hMG63, hMG63-shER β, and hMG63-ER β cells pretreated with or without U0126, flutamide, and ICI 182780, followed by DHEA culture. When the level of ER β was high, DHEA (10 - 7 mol/l) could effectively amplify the proliferation and inhibit the etoposide-induced apoptosis of hMG63 cells (p
