MSX2 — NOTCH4
Text-mined interactions from Literome
Shimizu et al., Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol 2009
:
The
Msx2 gene, a key regulator of osteogenesis, was highly
induced by coculture with Notch ligand expressing cells or overexpression of
Notch intracellular domains ( NICDs ) in human aortic SMCs ( HASMCs ) ... The RBP-Jk binding element within the Msx2 promoter was critical to
Notch induced
Msx2 gene expression ... These results imply a new mechanism for osteogenic differentiation of vascular SMCs in which
Notch/RBP-Jk signaling directly
induces Msx2 gene expression and suggest its crucial role in mediating vascular calcification
Shimizu et al., Int Heart J 2012
(Vascular Calcification) :
Furthermore, azelnidipine inhibited the ability of Msx2 to activate the ALP gene, but had no effect on
Notch induced
Msx2 expression
