title: Effect of a low-calcium environment on EGF inducible AP-1 binding activity in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells.
abstract: In the mouse osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1, the signaling response of DNA-binding protein induced by the treatment of epidermal growth factor (EGF) was examined using electrophoretic mobility shift assay. EGF increased the binding activity in nuclear extracts of MC3T3-E1 cells to TPA-responsive element (TRE). Competition experiments revealed that the binding activity to AP-1 site in the nuclear extracts of EGF treated MC3T3-E1 cells was entirely inhibited by unlabeled AP-1 consensus oligonucleotide. The DNA-binding activity of AP-1 by EGF in nuclear extracts of MC3T3-E1 cells cultured under a low calcium environment was more increased.
