BK ablation attenuates osteoblast bone formation via integrin pathway

Abstract:

Impaired bone formation is one of the major causes of low bone mass and skeletal fragility that occurs in osteoporosis. However, the mechanisms underlying the defects in bone formation are not well understood. Here, we report that big conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (BKs) are required for bone formation and osteoblast function both in vivo and in vitro. By 15 weeks of age, BK knockout (BKO) mice exhibited a decline in bone mineral density and trabecular bone volume of the tib...
