Fig. 12From: Molecular control of nitric oxide synthesis through eNOS and caveolin-1 interaction regulates osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells by modulation of Wnt/β-catenin signalingProposed signaling mechanism underlying osteogenic differentiation induced by NO in eASCs. Molecular control of NO levels may activate and suppress the expression of endogenous canonical and non-canonical Wnt ligands, respectively, to promote nuclear localization of β-catenin and subsequent activation of osteogenic differentiation through promoting osteoblast-specific gene transcription.
