CDK5 belongs to the cycling dependent kinase family, which is multifunctional and plays an important role in neural differentiation. However, the role of CDK5 in osteoblastic differentiation remains unclear. The present study investigated functions and molecular mechanism of CDK5 in osteoblastic differentiation. It was found that, the addition of CDK5 inhibitor Seliciclib promoted the expression of Runx2, ALP, OCN and OPN of MSCs and the mineralization of MC-3T3E1 cells. Seliciclib enhanced the development of F-actin, nuclear localization of {beta}-catenin and YAP, as well as the expression of RMRP RNA. When F-actin was suppressed by Blebbistatin, the nuclear localization of YAP and {beta}-catenin, and expression of RMRP RNA as well as Runx2 and ALP were decreased. These indicate Seliciclib promotes osteoblastic differentiation mainly by F-actin. Moreover, Seliciclib also suppressed the migration of MG-63, suggesting a potential application for Seliciclib in bone defect repair and inhibition of the migratiion of osteosarcoma cells.
