The present invention relates to a method for promoting osteogenesis by contacting osteoblast progenitor cells with an LXR agonist. Said method is useful for the treatment or prevention of an imbalance in bone homeostasis in a subject using bone homeostasis-promoting compositions comprising an effective osteogenic stimulating amount of an LXR agonist in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A further aspect is a method to produce bone tissue in vitro by contacting an LXR agonist with a population of osteoblast progenitor cells on a substrate, for a time sufficient to stimulate the generation of a matrix of bone tissue.
本发明涉及一种通过使成骨细胞祖细胞与 LXR 激动剂接触来促进成骨的方法。所述方法可用于使用骨平衡促进组合物治疗或预防受试者骨平衡失调,该组合物包含有效成骨刺激量的 LXR 激动剂,并与药学上可接受的载体混合。另一个方面是一种体外生成骨组织的方法,其方法是将 LXR 激动剂与基质上的成骨祖细胞群接触,接触时间足以刺激骨组织基质的生成。
