Fish: a suitable system to model human bone disorders and discover drugs with osteogenic or osteotoxic activities
نویسندگان
چکیده
This review discusses the suitability and advantages of teleost fish for studying underlying mechanisms of normal and pathological development and mineralization of vertebrate skeleton, presents a selection of zebrafish mutants and transgenic lines modeling human skeletal diseases and highlights currently available fish systems for identifying and characterizing novel osteogenic and osteotoxic molecules.

The osteogenic differentiation stimulating activity of Sea cucumber methanolic crude extraction on rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
Objective(s):Sea cucumber derived bioactive compound is considered efficient in treatment of bone disorders. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of this extract on differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMMSc) into osteogenic lineage. Materials and Methods: Isolated rBMMSc were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS. The cells were exposed to different concen...
متن کاملBiological behaviors of muscarinic receptors in mesenchymal stem cells derived from human placenta and bone marrow
Objective(s): Cells perform their functional activities by communicating with each other through endogenous substances and receptors. Post-translation, stem cells function properly in new host tissue by carrying specific cell surface receptors. We aimed to characterize muscarinic receptor subtypes in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) together with osteogenic and adipogenic...
متن کاملNaringin enhances osteogenic differentiation through the activation of ERK signaling in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
Objective(s): Naringin has been reported to regulate bone metabolism. However, its effect on osteogenesis remains unclear. The aim was to investigate the effect of naringin on osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) through the activation of the ERK signaling pathway in osteogenic differentiation. Materials and Methods: Annexin V-FITC assay and MTT assay ...

Despite advances in bone tissue engineering, auto grafts from intra-oral or extra-oral donor sites are still the gold standard for treatment of large craniomaxillofacial defects. Biomaterial development, application of growth factor, and stem cells, open new gateway to bone regeneration studies, but real translation from bench to bedside have not yet happened. In this review article, a number o...
متن کاملHydroxyapatite from Fish for Bone Tissue Engineering: A Promising Approach
Natural or synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) has been frequently used as implant materials for orthopaedic and dental applications, showing excellent bioactivity, adequate mechanical rigidity and structure, osteoconductivity and angiogenic properties, no toxicity, and absence of inflammatory or antigenic reactions. HA can be easily synthesized or extracted from natural sources, such as bovine bone....
