| Abstract | Dental follicle cells (DFCs) can be artificially differentiated into mineralizing cells. With a dexamethasone-based differentiation protocol, transcription factors ZBTB16 and NR4A3 are highly upregulated but Runx2 and other osteogenic marker genes are not. Previous studies have suggested the involvement of a Runx2-independent differentiation pathway. The objective of this study is to further elucidate this mechanism. Differentiation of DFCs was examined by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and ALP activity measurement, by Alizarin Red S staining and by real-time reverse transcription plus the polymerase chain reaction. ZBTB16 was overexpressed by using a transient transfection method. Resulting genome-wide gene expression changes were assessed by microarray. ZBTB16 and Runx2 were inhibited by short interfering RNA transfection. Promoter binding of ZBTB16 was evaluated by chromatin immunoprecipitation. Downregulation of Runx2 had no effect on dexamethasone-induced differentiation but was effective on BMP2-induced differentiation. Downregulation of ZBTB16, however, impaired dexamethasone-induced differentiation. Genes that were upregulated by dexamethasone induction were also upregulated by ZBTB16 overexpression. Genes that were not upregulated during dexamethasone-induced differentiation were also not regulated by ZBTB16 overexpression. ZBTB16 bound directly to the promoter regions of osterix and NR4A3 but not that of Runx2. Overexpression of ZBTB16 led to changes in the gene expression profile, whereby upregulated genes were overrepresented in osteogenesis-associated biological processes. Our findings suggest that, in DFCs, a Runx2-independent differentiation mechanism exists that is regulated by ZBTB16. |

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.
