Abstract CDK5 belongs to the cyclin-dependent kinase family. CDK5 is multifunctional and plays an important role in neural differentiation. However, the role of CDK5 in osteoblastic differentiation remains unclear. The present study investigated functions and molecular mechanism of CDK5 in osteoblastic differentiation. It was found that, CDK5 inhibition promoted the expression of Runx2, ALP, OCN and OPN of MSCs and the mineralization of MC-3T3E1 cells and MSCs. CDK5 inhibition enhanced the development of F-actin, nuclear localization of β-catenin and YAP, as well as the expression of RMRP RNA. When F-actin was suppressed by Blebbistatin, the nuclear More >
