The effect of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate (HEBP) and dichloromethylidene-bisphosphonate (Cl2MBP) on the structure of the organic matrix of heterotopically induced bone in guinea pig was studied. Heterotopic bone formation was induced by transplantation of allogenic urinary bladder epithelium. Starting from the day of transplantation the animals were treated subcutaneously with HEBP and Cl2MBP with a dose of 12.5 mg P/kg/day during 35 days. The control group was injected with 0.9% NaCl solution. The advantage of heterotopic bone induction as an experimental model is the fact that the applied drugs act on de novo bone formation. Collagen fibers were treated as markers of bone because their size and spatial arrangement reflect the structure and maturity of organic matrix of this tissue. Decalcified histological sections of induced bone, taken 35 days after implantation of inductor, were stained by the picrosirius method. This staining enhances the natural birefringency of collagen fibers and allows for better and specific visualization of collagen fibers bundles under polarizing microscope. In this way the amount of information in the analysed image is increased. Thirty five microphotographs were analysed from each of the investigated groups with the use of optical diffractometry. The radial distribution of light intensity in diffraction patterns was analysed what allowed to evaluate spatial frequencies connected with the width of collagen bundles in induced bone tissue. Since the spatial arrangement of collagen fibers in newly formed bone is random, analysis of angular distribution of light intensity in diffractograms was not performed. Using discriminant analysis the significant differences between all three studied groups of animals were found.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Summary The effect of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate (HEBP) and dichloromethylidene-bisphosphonate (Cl2MBP) on the structure of the organic matrix of heterotopically induced bone in guinea pig was studied. Heterotopic bone formation was induced by transplantation of allogenic urinary bladder epithelium.

The control group was injected with 0.9% NaCl solution. The advantage of heterotopic bone induction as an experimental model is the fact that the applied drugs act on de novo bone formation. Collagen fibers were treated as markers of bone because their size and spatial arrangement reflect the structure and maturity of organic matrix of this tissue. Decalcified histological sections of induced bone, taken 35 days after implantation of inductor, were stained by the picrosirius method. This staining enhances the natural birefringency of collagen fibers and allows for better and specific visualization of collagen fibers bundles under polarizing microscope. In this way the amount of information in the analysed image is increased. Thirty five microphotographs were analysed from each of the investigated groups with the use of optical diffractometry. The radial distribution of light intensity in diffraction patterns was analysed what allowed to evaluate spatial frequencies connected with the width of collagen bundles in induced bone tissue. Since the spatial arrangement of collagen fibers in newly formed bone is random, analysis of angular distribution of light intensity in diffractograms was not performed.Using discriminant analysis the significant differences between all three studied groups of animals were found. The widest differences were found between the Cl2MBP and HEBP treated animals. They were larger than those between each of these two groups and the control one. In control as well as in HEBP treated animals thicker bundles of collagen fibers were more frequently observed than in the Cl2MBP treated group, while in the latter thin bundles, nondetected in the former two groups were found. Generally, the radial distribution of light intensity in diffraction patterns of the HEBP treated animals resembles more that in the control group than in the Cl2MBP treated one. The different effects of the two analysed bisphosphonates (BPs) on the organic bone matrix of heterotopically induced bone is interpreted as differences in their influence on osteogenic cells and/or as differences in their direct influence on extracellular collagen fiber bundles formation.Dedicated to Professor Dr. T.H.

Osteopetrosis is a metabolic bone disease with increased skeletal density radiographically and increased risk of fracture. Experimental studies with rat osteopetrotic mutations have shown increased bone density and decreased bone strength. However, it is not known if this reduction in bone strength is only due to changes in structure and geometry or if the tissue properties of bone material itself are changed as well. We have evaluated bone tissue properties with nanoindentation in three osteopetrotic mutations in the rat (incisors-absent ia/ia, osteopetrosis op/op and toothless tl/tl) to test the hypothesis that reduced bone resorption in these mutations results in reduced tissue properties of bone material. No significant differences in elastic modulus or hardness were found between osteopetrotic mutants and their normal littermates (NLMs) in any of the three stocks. This indicates that the tissue properties of bone material are not changed significantly in osteopetrosis, even if the mechanical strength is decreased at the macroscopic level. 相似文献

It is well known that cranial flat bone experiences growth and development at the sutural interface, which is regarded as a neutral zone to control mechanical stimuli. In osteopetrotic (op/op) mice, meanwhile, cranial deformation is produced by the deficiency of osteoclasts and the subsequent defect of bone resorption. It would be a reasonable assumption that such disturbance in bone remodeling affects sutural modification and the relevant cranial flat bone development. The present study was thus conducted to examine histological features of the sagittal sutures in op/op mice, with special reference to the relevant bone remodeling. The sagittal sutures in 10-, 15-, 30-, and 60-day-old normal and op/op mice were observed microscopically. Furthermore, osteoclastic activity was evaluated on the sections stained with tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). The sutures of 15-day-old op/op mice showed stenosis and synostosis, and less-developed collagen fibers associated with an irregular arrangement of fibroblasts, whereas these changes were rarely found in normal mice. Osteoclasts were hardly detected in the parietal bones around the sutures of op/op mice, although the number was numerous in normal mice. These results emphasize that congenital deficiency in osteoclast produces unbalanced bone remodeling at the sutural interface and on the surfaces of the cranial bones, which is assumed to be closely related to cranial bone deformity in op/op mice. 相似文献

We have shown that in the osteopetrotic rat mutation toothless (tl) osteoblasts are absent from older bone surfaces in mutants and that mutant osteoblasts in vivo lack the prominent stress fiber bundles polarized along bone surfaces in osteoblasts from normal littermates. Our recent data demonstrate that in normal osteoblasts in vitro beta- and gamma-actin mRNAs have different, characteristic intracellular distributions and that tl (mutant) osteoblasts fail to differentially sort these mRNAs. Because bone resorption and formation are highly interdependent and injections of CSF-1, a growth factor, increase bone resorption and growth in tl rats, we examined the effects of CSF-1 treatment on osteoblast survival and ultrastructure in vivo and ability to sort actin mRNAs in vitro. Neonatal CSF-1 treatment of mutants restores osteoblasts on older bone surfaces, normalizes the intracellular distribution of stress fibers in osteoblasts in vivo and promotes normal sorting of beta-actin mRNA in mutant osteoblasts in vitro without normalizing gamma-actin distribution. These data suggest the beta- and gamma-actin mRNAs in osteoblasts are sorted by different mechanisms and that the differential sorting of beta-actin mRNA is related to the characteristic polarization of stress fibers in osteoblasts and their survival on bone surfaces. This experimental system can be used to explore the relationships and regulation of these aspects of cell and tissue biology. 相似文献

The osteopetrosis (op) mutation in mice is characterized by generalized skeletal sclerosis; reduced numbers of osteoclasts, macrophages, and monocytes; and failure to be cured by bone marrow transplantation. This mutation has been shown to result from an absence of colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) and reported to be cured by treatment with CSF-1. Macrophage polykaryons are known to be formed by fusion of mononuclear precursors and the presence of subcutaneous implants can elicit the formation of macrophage polykaryons. In order to determine if recruitment of foreign body giant cells is also impaired in osteopetrotic mice, tissue reactions to subcutaneously implanted polyvinyl sponges were studied and compared with normal mice. Our result showed that, in the op mouse, recruitment of macrophages and foreign body giant cells in response to the implants was quantitatively not different from that of normal mice. However, these cells were smaller and did not migrate as deeply into the implant as those seen in normal littermates. In contrast, resident macrophages obtained by peritoneal lavage were significantly reduced in op mice. These data indicate that there is a deficiency in the ability of op mice to mount a foreign body giant cell response to an implanted sponge characterized by a deficiency in the recruitment of precursor cells that are capable of either full development and spreading or migration into the implanted sponge. These data add to the emerging appreciation of the regional differences among macrophage populations in their dependence on CSF-1 for differentiation and survival. 相似文献

It is well known that the defect in bone resorption in osteopetrotic (op/op) mice brings about deformation of the cranium and failure of tooth eruption. However, the influences on longitudinal growth of the craniofacial skeleton have not been elucidated. This study was thus conducted to examine craniofacial morphology and longitudinal changes in the op/op mice by means of morphometric analysis with lateral cephalograms. Lateral cephalograms, taken every 10 days from 10- to 90-day-old mice, were analyzed on a personal computer for 11 measurement items. For the nasal bone region, the most prominent differences were found between the op/op and normal mice. The anterior cranial base and occipital bone height presented almost equivalent growth changes in both the op/op and normal mice. The size of mandible, meanwhile, was significantly smaller in the op/op mice than in the normal controls. The gonial angle was also significantly larger in the op/op mice than in the normal mice throughout the experimental period. Thus, substantial differences in craniofacial growth were demonstrated in various areas of the craniofacial complex, which are assumed essentially due to the lack of osteoclastic bone resorption during growing period. Since the difference became more prominent in the anatomic regions relevant to the masticatory functions, it would be a reasonable assumption that reduced masticatory function is also a key determinant for the less-developed craniofacial skeleton in the op/op mouse. 相似文献

The patterns of [3H]-NaBH4-reduced bone collagen cross-links from osteopetrotic chickens were compared with those of age-matched controls. Ratios of the reduced cross-links, dihydroxylysinonorleucine (DHLNL)1 to hydroxylysinonorleucine (HLNL), were dramatically increased in tibia bone samples from osteopetrotic birds compared to values from control birds. In addition, the initial HLNL peak from osteopetrotic bone collagen was heterogeneous, whereas DHLNL from osteopetrotic or normal bone collagen and HLNL from normal bone collagen were homogeneous. 相似文献

Osteopetrosis is a genetic bone disease characterized by excessive bone mass and 'clubbing' of long bones. In the osteopetrotic (op) mouse, remission of the disease begins at 45 days of age. This study attempted to describe changes in the op tibia before and during remission. Osteopetrotic and normal littermates were killed at intervals from 10 to 120 days of age. Left tibiae were processed for transmission electron microscopy. Microradiographs of right tibiae were projected and drawn. Bone dimensions were compared between mutants and controls by ANOVA and bones were viewed in a scanning electron microscope. Differences between mutants and controls were: at all ages mutant tibiae were shorter than those of controls; 10-day distal shafts of mutant tibiae were significantly narrower; 30-day proximal shafts of mutant tibiae were wider, distal shafts were narrower, and there was no bone resorption along the external proximal metaphysis. At 48 days, resorption was seen along the proximal metaphyses of the mutant tibiae and by 60 days, extensive resorption areas were evident. However, proximal shafts of mutant tibiae were still significantly wider than those of controls. These results indicated that before remission there was an unequal deposition of bone on the mutant tibia. After remission, resorption occurred along the external proximal shaft, but was not enough to remove significant amounts of bone from the proximal metaphyses of mutant tibiae by 120 days of age. 相似文献

Cloning the full-length cDNA for rat connective tissue growth factor: implications for skeletal development 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

The mammalian osteopetroses represent a pathogenetically diverse group of skeletal disorders characterized by excess bone mass resulting from reduced osteoclastic bone resorption. Abnormalities involving osteoblast function and skeletal development have also been reported in many forms of the disease. In this study, we used the rat mutation, osteopetrosis (op), to examine differences in skeletal gene expression between op mutants and their normal littermates. RNA isolated from calvaria and long bones was used as a template for mRNA-differential display. Sequence information for one of the many cDNA that were selectively expressed in either normal or mutant bone suggested that it is the rat homologue of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) previously cloned in the human, mouse, and other species. A consensus sequence was assembled from overlapping 5'-RACE clones and used to confirm the rat CTGF cDNA protein coding region. Northern blot analysis confirmed that this message was highly (8- to 10-fold) over-expressed in op versus normal bone; it was also upregulated in op kidney but none of the other tissues (brain, liver, spleen, thymus) examined. In primary rat osteoblast cultures, the CTGF message exhibits a temporal pattern of expression dependent on their state of differentiation. Furthermore, CTGF expression is regulated by prostaglandin E(2), a factor known to modulate osteoblast differentiation. Since members of the CTGF family regulate the expression of specific genes, such as collagen and fibronectin, we propose that CTGF may play a previously unreported role in normal skeletal modeling/remodeling. Its dramatic over-expression in the op mutant skeleton may be secondary to the uncoupling of bone resorption and bone formation resulting in dysregulation of osteoblast gene expression and function. 相似文献

Because of its synchrony and relative homogeneity, the subcutaneous model of the resorption of mineral-containing, devitalized bone particles (BPs) is useful to evaluate the recruitment, differentiation, and activity of bone-resorbing, osteoclastic cells. Bone particles were prepared from normal rats or mice and were implanted in normal and osteopetrotic rats (ia, tl, op strains) or mice (mi strain). In addition, particles of microcrystalline hydroxyapatite or polymethylmethacrylate were implanted into tl and op mutants and their unaffected littermates.Non-decalcified histomorphometry of elicited tissues after 12 days revealed significantly less resorption in in each mutant. Enzyme histochemical assays revealed that only normal animals showed tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive cells around the BPs. In agreement with this, only normal animals showed ruffled borders against the BPs. op and tl strains were tested for generation of foreign body giant cells in response to particulate hydroxyapatite or polymethylmethacrylate and no differences were found between mutant and normal animals. These mutants appear to have intact fusion of mononuclear progenitors.These data show impaired recruitment of osteoclasts by BP implants in several rodent strains of osteopetrotic mutants. 相似文献

The midpalatal suture was observed histologically in both toothless osteopetrotic (op/op) and normal (control) mice. The normal mice had a mature sutural structure, which consists of a well-developed cartilage cell zone and palatal bone. In contrast, the thickness of the cartilage cell zone was substantially greater in the op/op mice than that in the controls. Moreover, the cartilage cells in the op/op mice were frequently found in the palatal bone as well as in the sutural space, exhibiting an imperfect fusion. It seems that immature fusion at the sutural interface in the op/op mice is related to a decrease in biting or masticatory force accompanied by the failure of tooth eruption in addition to an essential defect in osteoclast differentiation, which is a congenital symptom in op/op mice. 相似文献

Summary The influence of tissue section thickness on the color and intensity of birefringence displayed by collagen in tissue sections studied by means of the Picrosirius-polarization method, is reported in this paper. When dermal collagen sections of different thicknesses (ranging from 0.25 to 11 m) were studied by this method, it became evident that not only did the intensity of birefringence increase proportionally to tissue section thickness, as was to be expected, but also a gradual shift in color from green through yellow to red could be observed as tissue section thickness increased. The limitations of the Picrosirius-polarization method for the localization of collagen types I, II, and III in routinely used histological slides is discussed, showing that this method is useful for the study of the distribution of the different types of interstitial collagen in normal adult vertebrate organs. 相似文献

The defective bone resorption in the osteopetrotic (op/op) mouse brings about failure of tooth eruption. Furthermore, the op/op mouse has been studied as a "toothless" mouse in recent morphological and physiological investigations of the relationship between mastication and masseter muscle development. The present study was conducted to examine in detail the nasal bone and the premaxillary bone in this mutant mouse and to assess the roles of incisor growth and the mechanical stress of mastication in nasal bone and premaxillary bone growth. The forms of the nasal bone and the premaxillary bone were observed using roentgenography in both toothless op/op and normal (control) mice. In the op/op mouse, the nasal bone and the premaxillary bone show remarkable deformity. In contrast, the normal mouse appears well developed. This suggests that growth of the incisor root is important to normal upper jaw growth in the mouse. Furthermore, it is proposed that the upper facial phenotype seen in the op/op mice results from not only decreased bone resorption, but also from absence of the mechanical stress provided by normal mastication. 相似文献

Osteoclast biology in the osteopetrotic (op) rat 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Osteopetrosis is a metabolic bone disease characterized by reduced bone resorption. From experimental studies of various osteopetrotic mutations has emerged the hypothesis that each is unique with respect to mechanisms whereby osteoclast development and/or function are reduced. The osteopetrotic (op) mutation in the rat was discovered in Fatty/ORL stock over a decade ago. The paucity of data about osteoclast biology in this mutation prompted this study of cytological, cytochemical, and ultrastructural features of osteoclasts. In op rats, osteoclasts are significantly reduced in number, but are larger and more vacuolated than in normal littermates. Mutant osteoclasts can form ruffled borders and clear zones, but their ability to fragment and excavate bone surfaces is greatly impaired. Cytoplasmic vacuoles in op osteoclasts are randomly distributed and greatly enlarged, and they stain weakly for two cytochemical characteristics of osteoclasts, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and acid ATPase. These findings suggest that an abnormality in the lysosomal/vacuolar system, an important component of the resorptive mechanism, may be involved in the interception of osteoclast function in this mutation. 相似文献

Macrophages and osteoclasts derive from related cell lines. In osteopetrotic mutants the function of osteoclasts is greatly reduced compared to that in normal animals or children and macrophage function is variably affected depending upon the mutation. To further explore macrophage function in osteopetrosis we examined the regulation of cyclic AMP production in macrophages from mutants and normal littermates of the osteopetrotic stock incisors-absent (ia) in the rat. Surface stimulation by latex particles of elicited peritoneal macrophages from normal or osteopetrotic (ia) mutant rats caused an identical increase in the accumulation of cyclic AMP. This effect was inhibited in normal animals by coincubation of macrophages with calcitonin (CT) but this inhibition was either absent or less marked in macrophages from mutant littermates. In contrast to human monocytes preincubation of rat macrophages with pertussis toxin did not relieve this inhibition. This implies that rat peritoneal macrophages respond to CT by a different mechanism. These results demonstrate altered macrophage function in osteopetrotic animals and may be functionally related to the reduced CT binding previously described in ia osteoclasts. Furthermore, the coexistence of reduced function of macrophages and osteoclasts in the ia mutation suggests that macrophages and osteoclasts share a common progenitor. 相似文献

Spleen cells from normal rats are known to cure osteopetrosis in ia littermates within 3 weeks. In this study cell suspensions from liver, thymus, bone marrow, salivary gland, skeletal muscle and brain from normal rats were tested for their ability to cure osteopetrosis in ia littermates whose ability to reject these cells had been suppressed by whole-body irradiation. Cells from liver, thymus and bone marrow cured the disease as effectively as spleen cells from normal littermates. Mutants that received cells from salivary gland, muscle and brain remained osteopetrotic. These data suggest that some cell found in spleen, liver, thymus and bone marrow of 10-day-old normal rats, such as a lymphoid cell or stem cell, can restore hemopoiesis and bone resorption in osteopetrotic (ia) rats. 相似文献

Osteopetrosis in laboratory animals is a metabolic bone disease characterized by increased skeletal mass. It is inherited
as an autosomal recessive and results from a defect in the development and/or function of osteoclasts. We studied two enzymes
essential for bone resorption, carbonic anhydrase II isoenzyme (CA II) and H+-ATPase, in osteoclasts from four osteopetrotic mutations in the rat; namely incisors-absent (ia), osteopetrosis (op), toothless (tl), and microphthalmia (mib), to test the hypothesis that reduced bone resorption in one or more of these mutations results from defects in the synthesis
or activity of one of these enzymes. CA II was present in most osteoclasts from normal, tl, op, and mib littermates and was homogeneously distributed in cytoplasm. CA II staining in ia osteoclasts was more variable and less intense than in the other mutations. H+-ATPase was also present in osteoclasts from normal animals and mutants and immunostaining showed clear polarization to the
ruffled border region in all normal rats and mutants except ia, which showed diffuse distribution of staining in the cytoplasm. H+-ATPase activity (proton transport) in a related tissue, kidney, was normal in tl and ia rats but increased in op and mib rats compared to their normal littermates. These results suggest that the osteoclasts in osteopetrotic rat mutations are
not abnormal with respect to the distribution of CA II and H+-ATPase and that the function of these enzymes in the skeleton, while likely normal, needs to be tested directly in bone.

We investigated the hypothesis that hindlimb unloading inhibits healing in fibrous connective tissue such as ligament. Male rats were assigned to 3- and 7-wk treatment groups with three subgroups each: sham control, ambulatory healing, and hindlimb-suspended healing. Ambulatory and suspended animals underwent surgical rupture of their medial collateral ligaments, whereas sham surgeries were performed on control animals. After 3 or 7 wk, mechanical and/or morphological properties were measured in ligament, muscle, and bone. During mechanical testing, most suspended ligaments failed in the scar region, indicating the greatest impairment was to ligament and not to bone-ligament insertion. Ligament testing revealed significant reductions in maximum force, ultimate stress, elastic modulus, and low-load properties in suspended animals. In addition, femoral mineral density, femoral strength, gastrocnemius mass, and tibialis anterior mass were significantly reduced. Microscopy revealed abnormal scar formation and cell distribution in suspended ligaments with extracellular matrix discontinuities and voids between misaligned, but well-formed, collagen fiber bundles. Hence, stress levels from ambulation appear unnecessary for formation of fiber bundles yet required for collagen to form structurally competent continuous fibers. Results support our hypothesis that hindlimb unloading impairs healing of fibrous connective tissue. In addition, this study provides compelling morphological evidence explaining the altered structure-function relationship in load-deprived healing connective tissue. 相似文献
