Fig. 4. Dominant-negative FGFR3 (dnFGFR3) interferes with osteo/chondrogenic
development, with FGFR2 and with Brachyury expression in
C3H10T1/2-BMP2. (A) Forced expression of dnFGFR3 in C3H10T1/2-BMP2 cells
interferes with BMP-2-mediated development of alkaline phosphatase-positive
and Alcian Blue-positive chondrocyte-like cells, respectively. (B) dnFGFR3
interferes with BMP2-dependent FGFR2 and Brachyury but not with FGFR3
expression in C3H10T1/2-BMP2 cells. FGFR3, dnFGFR3, FGFR2 and
Brachyury mRNA levels in mesenchymal progenitors C3H10T1/2-BMP2 and
C3H10T1/2-BMP2 with forced expression of dnFGFR3 were analysed by RT-PCR.
Vector-borne transcripts encoding dnFGFR3 were analyzed by primer pairs for
vector- and FGFR3-specific sequences.
