Estrogen signaling in growth plate cartilage.
It is well known that sex steroids, in particular estrogens, play an important role in longitudinal bone growth during puberty. High doses of estrogen therapy can reduce the final height of an individual, but such treatment is also associated with severe side effects. At the same time, attenuation of estrogen production by aromatase inhibitors increases adult final height, inhibiting bone turno...
متن کاملNew Observations on the Mammalian Growth Plate
Chondrocytes at the lower zone of the growth plate must be eliminated to facilitate longitudinal growth; this is generally assumed to involve apoptosis. We attempted to provide definitive electron-microscopic evidence of apoptosis in chondrocytes of physes and chondroepiphyses in the rabbit. We were, however, unable to find a single chondrocyte with the ultrastructure of ‘classical’ apoptosis i...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy in Growth Plate Cartilage Injury
Introduction: Injury to the growth plate in a growing child can lead to varying degrees of limb length discrepancy and angular deformity as a result of growth arrest [1]. In the older child, correction of deformity can be achieved by stapling, epiphysiodesis or osteotomy. However, the treatment is more challenging in the younger child. Angular deformity in younger child may be corrected by exci...
متن کاملTibial dyschondroplasia-associated proteomic changes in chicken growth plate cartilage.
Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) is a poultry leg problem that affects the proximal growth plate of the tibia, preventing its transition to bone. To understand the disease-induced proteomic changes, we compared the protein extracts of cartilage from normal and TD-affected growth plates. TD was induced by feeding thiram to chickens 2 wk before tissue harvest. Proteins were extracted from whole tissu...
متن کاملExpression of cartilage growth plate signalling molecules in chondroblastoma.
Chondroblastoma (CB) is a rare benign tumour (<1% of all bone tumours) involving epiphyseal long bones (male:female 1.5:1). During development, and in the postnatal period, IHh/PTHrP and FGF signalling molecules control the space and timing of chondrocyte differentiation. Considering the close relationship of CB with the growth plate (age and location), the expression of proteins involved in ep...
