Little is known about correlates of vitamin D status in Asian populations. In this study, we established the prevalence of vitamin D sufficiency in the Murakami region (latitude N38°13′) in Niigata, Japan, and examined demographic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that might be associated with vitamin D sufficiency, with the aim of clarifying the relative contributions of previously described...
Orthopedic surgeons have long awaited the clinical application of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) for bone regeneration. However, such possible applications involving proteins or genes transferred with virus vectors have encountered many problems, including high cost, immunological reactions, viral infection, etc. We adopted a new gene transfer system of in vivo electroporation with a plasmid expression...
We previously reported that endothelin-1 (ET-1) stimulates phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D independently of phosphoinositide hydrolysis in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In the present study, we investigated the characteristics of the receptors mediating ET-1-induced intracellular signaling pathway in MC3T3-E1 cells. Cyclo-d-Trp-d-Asp-Pro-d-Val-Leu (BQ123), a selective ET A ...
We investigated the function of Ca 2+ in the activation of phosphatidylcholine (PC)-hydrolyzing phospholipase D (PLD) in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. Fetal calf serum (FCS) stimulated the formation of choline in a dose-dependent manner in the range between 0.6% and 10%. The effect of a combination of FCS and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, a protein kinase C (PKC) activator,...
