Connectivity Map-based discovery of novel compounds that induce osteoblast differentiation

Brum A M , van de Peppel J , van Kerkwijk A , Janssen M , Schreuders-Koedam M , Strini T , Eijken M , van Leeuwen J P T M , van der Eerden B C J

Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass leading to increased bone fragility and fracture susceptibility. Little is currently known about what specific factors stimulate osteoblast differentiation from human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Therefore, the aim for this project is to determine novel factors and mechanisms involved in human bone production which can be targeted to treat osteoporosis, using gene expression profiling and bioinformati...
