Abstract

Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) are important for bone homeostasis, but only limited information is available on their expression in human bone cells. We analyzed the expression levels of eight CYPs in osteoblasts cultured in human bone pieces, in osteoblasts differentiated from human periosteum mesenchymal stem cells, in primary human osteoblasts and in the human osteoblast cell line MG63, respectively. Our results confirm previous reports about the presence of CYP11A1, CYP17A1, CYP24A1 and CYP27B1, while demonstrating expression of CYP2E1, CYP26A1, CYP39A1 and CYP51A1 for the first time. However, expression patterns in the four models were remarkably different from each other.
