Using specific small interfering RNA (siRNA), we found that BMP-4-induced G (0)/G (1) arrest, and p21 (CIP1) and p27 (KIP1) expressions were mediated by BMP receptor type IA (BMPRIA)-specific Sma- and Mad-related protein (Smad) 1/5.
Pretreatment of MG63 cells with Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser, which blocks the cell-extracellular matrix interaction, or transfection with beta (3) integrin-specific siRNA inhibited BMP-4-induced ERK and Smad1/5 phosphorylations.

The effects of the scaffold on the preservation of stemness and/or induction of differentiation pathways were investigated through analysis of a variety of markers, including p63 and DeltaNp63alpha for stemness, 14-3-3sigma for early differentiation, keratins 3, 14, 12, and 19 to determine cell phenotype, and alpha6, beta1, and beta4 integrins to evaluate interactions with the stroma.
