Pellet culture model for human primary osteoblasts.
In vitro monolayer culture of human primary osteoblasts (hOBs) often shows unsatisfactory results for extracellular matrix deposition, maturation and calcification. Nevertheless, monolayer culture is still the method of choice for in vitro differentiation of primary osteoblasts. We believe that the delay in mature ECM production by the monolayer cultured osteoblasts is determined by their state...
متن کاملTranscription factor decoy against NFATc1 in human primary osteoblasts.
The present study describes, for the first time, the removal of the nuclear factor of activated T cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) by a decoy approach in human primary osteoblasts (hOBs). hOBs with different NFATc1 expression levels were used. The functionality of endogenous NFAT proteins in our experimental model was analyzed by monitoring the transcriptional activity on a luciferase reporter cons...
متن کاملMET overexpression turns human primary osteoblasts into osteosarcomas.
The MET oncogene was causally involved in the pathogenesis of a rare tumor, i.e., the papillary renal cell carcinoma, in which activating mutations, either germline or somatic, were identified. MET activating mutations are rarely found in other human tumors, whereas at higher frequencies, MET is amplified and/or overexpressed in sporadic tumors of specific histotypes, including osteosarcoma. In...
متن کاملSubcellular localization of heparanase in human neutrophils.
The subcellular localization of a heparan sulfate degrading endoglycosidase, heparanase, was studied in human neutrophils. Unstimulated cells were disrupted by nitrogen cavitation and fractionated on a Percoll density gradient into three components, separating the plasma membranes, specific granules, and azurophilic granules. Heparanase activity was measured by gel filtration analysis of 35S-la...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Culturing of Human Jaw Osteoblasts in PLLA/HA Scaffold
Background & Aims: Tissue engineering using somatic cells and synthetic extracellular matrix (scaffold) represents a new approach for regeneration of mineralized tissue and bone. This study was carried out to investigate the ability of a PLLA/HA scaffold to culture osteoblast cells in a three dimensional milieu. Method: Three bony samples were taken from extraction sites during surgical extract...
