The guanine nucleotide exchange factor DOCK5 negatively regulates osteoblast differentiation and BMP2-induced bone regeneration via the MKK3/6 and p38 signaling pathways by Ju Ang Kim, Soomin Im, Jiwon Lim, Jung Min Hong, Hye Jung Ihn, Jong-Sup Bae, Jung-Eun Kim, Yong Chul Bae, Eui Kyun Park

“…The mechanism responsible for enhanced bone formation induced by DOCK5 inhibition may involve the suppression of Rac1 under TAK1, accompanied by the activation of MKK3/6 and p38 induced by BMP2. These findings strongly suggest that DOCK5 negatively regulates osteoblast differentiation and bone regeneration through signaling pathways involving TAK1, MKK3/6, and p38, providing new insights into potential therapeutic strategies for bone regeneration.…”
