From: Bone marker gene expression in calvarial bones: different bone microenvironments
TaqMan analysis of osteoblast markers: Runx2, OC and OSX expression in calvariae of C57BL/KalwRiJHsD mice. RNA was extracted with cDNA synthesized from frontal (F), parietal (P) and interparietal (IP) bones. The relative expression of osteoblast marker genes was adjusted to the relative expression of a housekeeping gene, β-actin. Data showed that there was a significant increase in the relative expression levels of Runx2 (a), OC (b) and OSX (c) in parietal bone compared to frontal and interparietal bones
