Abstract
⺠PI3-kinase/Akt signaling not ERK signaling, is involved in PGE2-induced osteogenic differentiation of rat tendon stem cells. ⺠Akt activation is involved in PGE2-induced BMP-2 production. ⺠PI3-kinase/Akt signaling is essential in BMP-2-induced osteogenic differentiation. ⺠PI3-kinase or Akt inhibitor does not inhibit BMP-2-activated Smad phosphorylation.
