Nitric oxide (NO) triggers marked osteoclast retraction which closely resembles that due to Ca2+. The effect of Ca2+ has been attributed to a stimulated release of NO. Here, we show for the first time, by direct measurement with a microsensor, that osteoclasts do indeed produce NO and that this production is enhanced by a high Ca2+. We also show that the Ca2+ ionophore, A23187, mimics the latter. Furthermore, osteoclasts on dentine produce more NO than osteoclasts on glass and NO release from dentine-plated osteoclasts is much less sensitive to stimulation by Ca2+. Finally, the microsomal Ca2+ store-depleting agent, thapsigargin, attenuates NO release only from osteoclasts on glass, suggesting that stored Ca2+ has the dominant effect in modulating NO release from non-resorbing cells. NO is a powerful inhibitor of bone resorption: a direct demonstration of its production is therefore strong evidence for a role in modulating osteoclast function. 相似文献

We report the effects of tetracycline analogues on cytosolic Ca2+ transients resulting from application of ionic nickel (Ni2+), a potent surrogate agonist of the osteoclast Ca2+ receptor. Preincubation with minocycline (1 mg/l) or a chemically modified tetracycline, 4-dedimethyl-aminotetracycline (CMT-1) (1 or 10 mg/l), resulted in a significant attenuation of the magnitude of the cytosolic [Ca2+] response to an application of 5 mM-[Ni2+]. Preincubation with doxycycline (1 or 10 mg/l) failed to produce similar results. In addition, application of minocycline alone (0.1–100 mg/l) resulted in a 3.5-fold elevation of cytosolic [Ca2+]. The results suggest a novel action of tetracyclines on the osteoclast Ca2+ receptor. 相似文献

Single pulses of cytoplasmic calcium associated with phagocytosis of individual zymosan particles by macrophages 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We have measured cytosolic free calcium levels ([Ca++]i) in individual macrophages during the phagocytosis of single zymosan particles. We report here that the contact of a macrophage with zymosan results in a rapid transient elevation of [Ca++]i. Each [Ca++]i pulse is symmetrical lasting for up to 30 seconds. In contrast, macrophage spreading is associated with repetitive [Ca++]i spiking occurring in salvos of up to four smaller spikes, each lasting for between 8 and 18 seconds. These qualitative and kinetic differences might suggest that the role of [Ca++]i in phagocytosis is distinct from its role in spreading. 相似文献

BackgroundAlthough vector-borne zoonotic diseases are a major public health threat globally, they are usually neglected, especially among resource-constrained countries, including those in sub-Saharan Africa. This scoping review examined the current knowledge and identified research gaps of vector-borne zoonotic pathogens in Zambia.Methods and findingsMajor scientific databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, CABI, Scientific Information Database (SID)) were searched for articles describing vector-borne (mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and tsetse flies) zoonotic pathogens in Zambia. Several mosquito-borne arboviruses have been reported including Yellow fever, Ntaya, Mayaro, Dengue, Zika, West Nile, Chikungunya, Sindbis, and Rift Valley fever viruses. Flea-borne zoonotic pathogens reported include Yersinia pestis and Rickettsia felis. Trypanosoma sp. was the only tsetse fly-borne pathogen identified. Further, tick-borne zoonotic pathogens reported included Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic fever virus, Rickettsia sp., Anaplasma sp., Ehrlichia sp., Borrelia sp., and Coxiella burnetii.ConclusionsThis study revealed the presence of many vector-borne zoonotic pathogens circulating in vectors and animals in Zambia. Though reports of human clinical cases were limited, several serological studies provided considerable evidence of zoonotic transmission of vector-borne pathogens in humans. However, the disease burden in humans attributable to vector-borne zoonotic infections could not be ascertained from the available reports and this precludes the formulation of national policies that could help in the control and mitigation of the impact of these diseases in Zambia. Therefore, there is an urgent need to scale-up “One Health” research in emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases to enable the country to prepare for future epidemics, including pandemics. 相似文献

FSH directly regulates bone mass 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
Sun L Peng Y Sharrow AC Iqbal J Zhang Z Papachristou DJ Zaidi S Zhu LL Yaroslavskiy BB Zhou H Zallone A Sairam MR Kumar TR Bo W Braun J Cardoso-Landa L Schaffler MB Moonga BS Blair HC Zaidi M 《Cell》2006,125(2):247-260
Postmenopausal osteoporosis, a global public health problem, has for decades been attributed solely to declining estrogen levels. Although FSH levels rise sharply in parallel, a direct effect of FSH on the skeleton has never been explored. We show that FSH is required for hypogonadal bone loss. Neither FSHbeta nor FSH receptor (FSHR) null mice have bone loss despite severe hypogonadism. Bone mass is increased and osteoclastic resorption is decreased in haploinsufficient FSHbeta+/- mice with normal ovarian function, suggesting that the skeletal action of FSH is estrogen independent. Osteoclasts and their precursors possess G(i2alpha)-coupled FSHRs that activate MEK/Erk, NF-kappaB, and Akt to result in enhanced osteoclast formation and function. We suggest that high circulating FSH causes hypogonadal bone loss. 相似文献
