| Abstract | Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), a secreted factor present at high levels in bone, inhibits osteoblast differentiation in culture; yet, the mechanism of this inhibition remains unclear. We studied the effects of TGF-β and its effectors, the Smads, on the expression and function of the osteoblast transcription factor CBFA1. TGF-β inhibited the expression of the cbfa1 and osteocalcin genes, whose expression is controlled by CBFA1 in osteoblast-like cell lines. This inhibition was mediated by Smad3, which interacts physically with CBFA1 and represses its transcriptional activity at the CBFA1-binding OSE2 promoter sequence. The repression of CBFA1 function by Smad3 contrasts with previous observations that Smads function as transcription activators. This repression occurred in mesenchymal but not epithelial cells, and depended on the promoter sequence. Smad3-mediated repression of CBFA1 provides a central regulatory mechanism for the inhibition of osteoblast differentiation by TGF-β, since it inhibits both cbfa1 transcription and transcriptional activation of osteoblast differentiation genes by CBFA1. Altering Smad3 signaling influenced osteoblast differentiation in the presence or absence of TGF-β, implicating Smad3/TGF-β-mediated repression in autocrine regulation of osteoblast differentiation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
