(A) Induction of Fgfr1, Fgfr2, and Fgfr3 by Runx2 in vitro. RNA was extracted from wild-type osteoblast progenitors that had been infected with an adenovirus expressing type II Runx2 and EGFP or EGFP alone. Samples were harvested 12 and 24 hrs after infection. Values in cells infected with the EGFP-expressing adenovirus were defined as 1, and the relative levels are shown. Data are the mean ± SD of 4 wells. **p < 0.01. (B) Suppression of Fgfr1, Fgfr2, and Fgfr3 expression by Runx2 siRNA. Osteoblast progenitors were prepared from the calvariae of wild-type newborn mice, and transfected with Runx2 siRNA. RNA was extracted 48 hours after transfection, and real-time RT-PCR was performed. Values in siRNA for the control were defined as 1, and the relative levels are shown. Data are the mean ± SE of 3 wells. **p < 0.01. Similar results were obtained in three independent experiments and representative data are shown.
