Our previous research performed on the bones of rats with CKD established that the expression of FOXO1, ATF4, RUNX2, and ALP, which are the key genes responsible for the initial phases of osteoblast development, was significantly increased, whereas the expression of BGLAP, which is linked to the late stage of osteoblast differentiation, was only slightly elevated [46]. This evidence concerns the gene RUNX2 and chronic kidney disease.
