Dopamine Suppresses Osteogenic Differentiation of Rat Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells via AKT/GSK-3β/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway

Figure 7

Schematic diagram of DA-mediated osteogenic differentiation by modulating AKT/GSK-3β/β-catenin pathway in rBMSCs. Intracellular p-AKT and p-GSK-3β level was downregulated by DA. Subsequently, translocation of β-catenin from the cytoplasm to the nucleus was suppressed, resulting in the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation.
