KMN-159 Induces Osteogenesis In Novel 3D Model Of Osseointegration
Scientific posters
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is known to cause bone formation with activation of the EP4 receptor being primarily responsible for its anabolic actions. Current bone anabolic therapies are typically protein-based biological therapies that require special formulations, lack stability, and are costly. Here, we show that KMN-159, a small molecule EP4 receptor agonist, stimulates osteogenesis in a novel in vitro 3D model of osseointegration. We found that KMN-159 increased the expression of osteoblastic differentiation factors and promoted osteoblast function and bone remodeling in this model. KMN-159 elevated the Opg:Rankl ratio, indicating a shift towards bone formation.
