Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) controls both glucose metabolism and an allocation of marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) toward osteoblast and adipocyte lineages. Its activity is determined by interaction with a ligand which directs posttranscriptional modifications of PPARγ protein including dephosphorylation of Ser112 and Ser273, which results in acquiring of pro-ad...
Osteoblastic cells produce a complex extracellular matrix (ECM) composed of a mixture of proteoglycans (PGs), collagens and non-collagenous proteins. The interaction of proteoglycans with matrix effector macromolecules via either their glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains or their protein core is critical in regulating a variety of cellular events. Alterations in the structural composition of the GAG...
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is associated with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), results from accumulation of misfolded/unfolded proteins, and can trigger apoptosis. ER stress is alleviated by phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α), which inhibits protein translation allowing the ER to recover, thus promoting cell viability. We investigated whether o...
Different cell/tissue derived extracellular matrix (ECM) display subtle differences that might provide important cues for proliferation and differentiation of cells in vitro or in vivo. However, the bioactivities of different ECMs in vitro were not fully understood. In this study, osteoblasts-derived and fibroblast-derived ECM-coated cell culture dishes were prepared respectively by culturing o...
To analyze the effect of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) 118 on fish bone metabolism, we examined osteoclastic and osteoblastic activities, as well as plasma calcium levels, in the scales of PCB (118)-injected goldfish. In addition, effect of PCB (118) on osteoclasts and osteoblasts was investigated in vitro. Immature goldfish, in which the endogenous effects of sex steroids are negligible, were...
Background and purpose - Bisphosphonates are widely used in the treatment of bone loss, but they might also have positive effects on osteoblastic cells and bone formation. We evaluated the effect of in vivo zoledronic acid (ZA) treatment and possible concomitant effects of ZA and fracture on the ex vivo osteogenic capacity of rat mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Methods - A closed femoral frac...
Vascular calcification, which results from a process osteoblastic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Apelin is a recently discovered peptide that is the endogenous ligand for the orphan G-protein-coupled receptor, APJ. Several studies have identified the protective effects of apelin on the cardiovascular sy...
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling regulates body axis determination, apoptosis, and differentiation of various types of cells including neuron, gut, and bone cells. However, the molecules involved in such BMP regulation of biological events have not been fully understood. Here, we examined the involvement of Cas-interacting zinc finger protein (CIZ) in the modulation of BMP2-induced os...
Well-characterised human osteoblastic bone marrow cell cultures are a useful in vitro tool to analyse bone tissue/biomaterials interactions. In this work, human bone marrow was cultured in experimental conditions described to favour osteoblastic di!erentiation and, serially passaged cells were cultured in two widely used culture media, minimum essential medium Eagle, alpha modi"cation (a-MEM) a...
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) regulation is highly dependent on interactions with the marrow microenvironment. Controversy exists on N-cadherin's role in support of HSCs. Specifically, it is unknown whether microenvironmental N-cadherin is required for normal marrow microarchitecture and for hematopoiesis. To determine whether osteoblastic N-cadherin is required for HSC regulation, we used a ge...
