ERα activation selectively alters canonical Wnt pathway dependent effects on mRNA expression by osteoblasts. Fetal rat osteoblasts were transfected for 24 hours to express native ERα. The cells were treated for 24 hours with vehicle (0), 20 mM LiCl and/or 10 μM WAg alone or in combination with 10 nM of 17βE as indicated, and mRNA levels were measured by RT-PCR. *s designate significant differences from untreated cells; (* = P <0.05).
