G protein signaling plays important roles in skeletal development. G protein subunit β1 (GNB1) is a component of the G protein complex and is associated with G protein signaling. In humans,GNB1mutations cause global developmental and persistent growth delays and severe neurodevelopmental disability. Similarly,Gnb1-knockout (KO) mice display growth retardation with neural tube defects. These genetic studies raise the possibility that GNB1 regulates skeletal development. This study was designed to investigate the role of GNB1 in skeletal development usingGnb1-KO mice.Gnb1-KO mice showed dwarfism, shortening of limbs, and a decreased ossifying zone of long bones.In situhybridization and RT-qPCR analyses revealed thatCol10a1andMmp13expression was reduced in long bones ofGnb1-KO mice, whileRunx2,Osterix,Ihh, andPprexpression levels were similar to those in wild-type littermates.Gnb1-KO-derived osteoblasts maintained calcification abilities and the expression levels of osteoblast marker genes were unaltered, indicating that osteoblast differentiation and function were not affected inGnb1-KO mice. Taken together, our results show that GNB1 is required for the late stage of endochondral bone formation by regulatingCol10a1andMmp13expression.
