[HTML][HTML] Estrogen receptor α mediates proliferation of osteoblastic cells stimulated by estrogen and mechanical strain, but their acute down-regulation of the Wnt …

Mechanical strain and estrogens both stimulate osteoblast proliferation through estrogen
receptor (ER)-mediated effects, and both down-regulate the Wnt antagonist Sost/sclerostin.
Here, we investigate the differential effects of ERα and-β in these processes in mouse long
bone-derived osteoblastic cells and human Saos-2 cells. Recruitment to the cell cycle
following strain or 17β-estradiol occurs within 30 min, as determined by Ki-67 staining, and
is prevented by the ERα antagonist 1, 3-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-methyl-5-[4-(2 …
