Summary Glucorticoid (GC) therapy is the commonest cause of secondary osteoporosis. Ovariectomized rabbits receiving the GC methylprednisolone for 6 weeks exhibited relatively lower vertebral and femoral bone mass. Treatment with the PTH receptor agonist abaloparatide for 12 weeks during ongoing methylprednisolone administration increased cortical and trabecular bone mass and femur bending strength...
Fibroblast growth factor‐23 (FGF23) is a hormone that modulates circulating phosphate (Pi) levels by controlling Pi reabsorption from the kidneys. When FGF23 levels are deficient, as in tumoral calcinosis patients, hyperphosphatemia ensues. We show here in a murine model that Fgf23 ablation disrupted morphology and protein expression within the dentoalveolar complex. Ectopic matrix formation in pulp...
Bone morphogenetic protein-7, or BMP-7 (OP-1), is highly expressed in the perichondrium of embryonic long bones and is thought to play a role in endochondral ossification. Previously we have shown that BMP-7 inhibits terminal chondrocyte differentiation; that is, chondrocyte hypertrophy and mineralization in cultured explants of embryonic mouse metatarsals. However, the mechanism of this inhibition...
A new marker for cells of the osteoblastic lineage was identified by raising monoclonal antibodies against an immortalized rat osteoblastic cell line. Among the different antibodies one was selected which, on tissue sections, strongly reacts with osteoblasts, preosteocytes, and osteocytes. This antibody, designated E11, recognizes an antigen localized at the cell surface. The cDNA encoding the E11...
Ferritin, a metal-binding protein responsible for maintaining the bioavailability of iron, has been demonstrated in cells of the osteoblastic lineage. Messenger RNAs encoding the light and heavy chain subunits of ferritin were detected in ROS 172.8, ROS 251, and UMR106 rat osteosarcoma cell lines, in fetal rat calvaria, and in primary cultures of rat calvarial osteoblast-like cells. In vivo, the...
