Differential Growth Factor Adsorption to Calvarial Osteoblast-Secreted Extracellular Matrices Instructs Osteoblastic Behavior
Craniosynostosis (CS), the premature ossification of cranial sutures, is attributed to increased osteogenic potential of resident osteoblasts, yet the contribution of the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) on osteogenic differentiation is unclear. The osteoblast-secreted ECM provides binding sites for cellular adhesion and regulates the transport and signaling of osteoinductive factors secr...
متن کاملFibronectin regulates calvarial osteoblast differentiation.
The secretion of fibronectin by differentiating osteoblasts and its accumulation at sites of osteogenesis suggest that fibronectin participates in bone formation. To test this directly, we determined whether fibronectin-cell interactions regulate progressive differentiation of cultured fetal rat calvarial osteoblasts. Spatial distributions of alpha 5 integrin subunit, fibronectin, osteopontin (...
متن کاملDifferential transforming abilities of non-secreted and secreted forms of human fibroblast growth factor-1.
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-1(1-154), the precursor for acidic FGF-1(21-154), is a potent angiogenic polypeptide, the structure of which lacks a signal peptide sequence for secretion. To investigate the biological significance of this structural feature, we have attempted forced secretion of FGF-1 through fusion of the entire FGF-1 coding frame with the signal peptide (sp) from the hst/KS3 g...
متن کاملOsteoblast expression of vascular endothelial growth factor is modulated by the extracellular microenvironment.
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is crucial to the process of fracture healing. Vascular disruption after osseous injury results in an acidic, hypoxic wound environment. We have previously shown that osteoblasts can produce vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in response to a variety of stimuli. In this study we examined pH and lactate concentration, two components of the...
متن کاملEffects of farnesyl pyrophosphate accumulation on calvarial osteoblast differentiation.
Statins, drugs commonly used to lower serum cholesterol, have been shown to stimulate osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. Statins inhibit 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), the first step of the isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway, leading to the depletion of the isoprenoids farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP). The effects of s...
