Numerous studies have identified natural as well as synthetic compounds with osteogenic activity through the regulation of either BMP\/SMADs or the Wnt\/\u03b2-catenin pathway. Here, we attempted to isolate small molecules that concurrently activated both SMADs and \u03b2-catenin, which led to the discovery of a novel potent osteogenic compound, DMP-PYT. Upon BMP2 stimulation, DMP-PYT substantially increased osteoblast differentiation featured by enhanced expression of osteoblast-specific genes and accelerated calcification through activation of BMPs expression. DMP-PYT promoted BMP2-induced SMAD1\/5\/8 phosphorylation and \u03b2-catenin expression, the latter in a BMP2-independent manner. DMP-PYT alone enhanced nuclear localization of \u03b2-catenin to promote the DNA-binding and transcriptional activity of T-cell factor, thereby resulting in increased osteoblast differentiation in the absence of BMP2. Most importantly, DMP-PYT advanced skeletal development and bone calcification in zebrafish larvae. Conclusively, DMP-PYT strongly stimulated osteoblast differentiation and bone formation <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic> by potentiating BMP2-induced activation of SMADs and \u03b2-catenin. These results suggest that DMP-PYT may have beneficial effects for preventing and for treating osteoporosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-017-08190-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,10]],"date-time":"2017-08-10T14:46:45Z","timestamp":1502376405000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Acceleration of osteoblast differentiation by a novel osteogenic compound, DMP-PYT, through activation of both the BMP and Wnt pathways"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Su Jung","family":"Bae","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hye Joo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hee Yeon","family":"Won","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong Ki","family":"Min","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eun Sook","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"8190_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"27","DOI":"10.1038\/nrm3254","volume":"13","author":"F Long","year":"2011","unstructured":"Long, F.
