Abstract: The LIM mineralization protein1 (LMP1) is a kind of intracellular signal transduction molecule which plays an important role in facilitating bone formation during the process of osteoblast differentiation according to both in vivo and in vitro studies. So far, it has been believed that LMP1 functions by stimulating the synthesis and secretion of certain factors like bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) which can induce bone formation, thus improving the osteogenic activity of BMP and other osteogenic factors. This article reviewed the role of LMP1 and the research progress concerning the mineralization of dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC).

Key words: LIM mineralization protein1, BMP, DPSC, BMSC
