Neuropilin 2 in osteoblasts regulates trabecular bone mass in male mice by Lieve Verlinden, Stefanie Doms, Iris Janssens, Mark B. Meyer, J. Wesley Pike, Geert Carmeliet, Annemieke Verstuyf

“…We next generated mice with a conditional deletion of Nrp2 in the osteoblast cell lineage under control of the paired related homeobox 1 promoter and mice with a conditional Nrp2 knockdown in osteoclasts under control of the Lysozyme promoter. Mice were examined under basal conditions or after treatment with either the bone anabolic vitamin D3 analog WY 1048 or with 1,25(OH)2D3.Results and discussionWe show that Nrp2 expression is induced by 1,25(OH)2D3 in osteoblasts and is associated with enrichment of the vitamin D receptor in an intronic region of the Nrp2 gene. …”
