Tax1 binding protein 3 regulates osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation through inactivating Wnt/β-catenin signalling.

ABSTRACT: Tax1 binding protein 3 (Tax1bp3) is a PDZ domain-containing protein that is overexpressed in cancer. Previous studies recognized Tax1bp3 as an inhibitor of β-catenin. Till now it is not known whether Tax1bp3 regulates osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cells. In the current study, the data showed that Tax1bp3 was expressed in bone and was increased in the progenitor cells when induced toward osteoblast and adipocyte differentiation. The overexpression of Tax1bp3 in the progenitor cells inhibited osteogenic differentiation and conversely stimulated adipogenic differentiation, and the knockdown of Tax1bp3 affected the differentiation of the progenitor cells oppositely.
