| Abstract | |
This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the molecular effects of TGF-β1, with different supplementation time periods on the establishment of MC3T3-E1 cells, comparing with cells treated with AA+β-GP supplemented with Dex and/or TGF-β1, without or with neutralization of TGF-β1 receptors. The gene expression of the TGF-β1 and Smad3 were analyzed, as well as the osteoblast differentiation and biomineralization. The cells treated with TGF-β1 without neutralization of receptors have had inhibitory effect on some important stages of osteoblast differentiation and biomineralization in vitro, but expressed some important mineralization markers. Mineral nodules were observed in all treatments of cells with their TGF-β1 receptors neutralized, but there was a decrease in the expression of some important genes. The results confirm the complexity of the pathway signaling of TGF-β1, showing that there are gaps for understand the mechanisms of this molecule in the biology of osteoblasts. (AU) | |
