CD99 regulates RUNX2 activity modulating ERK 1/2 signaling. (A) Expression of CD99 and pERK 1/2 was analyzed by Westen blotting after CD99 silencing for 48 hours by siRNA (40 nM). Cells were transfected by a scrambled (SCR) and a siRNA against p53 (siRNA CTR) as controls at the same concentration. (B, C) Expression of active ERK 1/2 and RUNX2 was evaluated by immunofluorescence in CD99-expressing cells in the same conditions described before. Scale bar = 20 µm. (D) After CD99 silencing in OS cells for 48 hours, the expression of osteoblast differentiation markers was analyzed: collagen 1 and ALP decreased, as shown by qRT-PCR and by histochemical analysis.
