摘要: Spaceflight, aging, and disuse lead to reduced BMD. This study shows that overexpression of constitutively active RhoA restores actin cytoskeletal arrangement, enhances the osteoblastic phenotype, suppresses adipocytic phenotype human mesenchymal stem cells cultured in modeled microgravity. Introduction: Reduced BMD during spaceflight is partly caused by bone formation. However, mechanisms responsible for this loss remain unclear. We have previously shown osteoblastogenesis enhanced adipogenesis (hMSCs) microgravity (MMG). The small GTPase, RhoA, regulates stress fiber formation has been implicated lineage commitment hMSCs. examined effects MMG on organization activity ability reverse these effects.
