Vanadate prevents glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis of osteoblasts in vitro and osteocytes in vivo.
Skeletal mass is maintained by a balance between formation and resorption, cell proliferation and apoptosis. In vitro, glucocorticoids (GCs) decrease extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) activation by mitogens, thus inhibiting osteoblast proliferation. Both ERK activity and proliferation are...
