Obif, a Transmembrane Protein, Is Required for Bone Mineralization and Spermatogenesis in Mice
BACKGROUND Various kinds of transmembrane and secreted proteins play pivotal roles in development through cell-cell communication. We previously reported that Obif (Osteoblast induction factor, Tmem119), encoding a single transmembrane protein, is expressed in differentiating osteoblasts, and that Obif-/- mice exhibit significantly reduced bone volume in the femur. In the current study, we char...
متن کاملThe Novel Zinc Finger-Containing Transcription Factor Osterix Is Required for Osteoblast Differentiation and Bone Formation
We have identified a novel zinc finger-containing transcription factor, called Osterix (Osx), that is specifically expressed in all developing bones. In Osx null mice, no bone formation occurs. In endochondral skeletal elements of Osx null mice, mesenchymal cells, together with osteoclasts and blood vessels, invade the mineralized cartilage matrix. However, the mesenchymal cells do not deposit ...
متن کاملAsparagine-linked glycosylation of bone morphogenetic protein-2 is required for secretion and osteoblast differentiation.
Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), a glycosylated protein, has been demonstrated to play a key role in osteoblast differentiation. However, the function of its glycosylation is incompletely understood. In this study, we examined the role that N-linked glycans (NLG) play in the secretion of BMP-2. Blocking the addition of NLGs or inhibiting initial glycan processing prevented the secretion of...
متن کاملVitamin A Is a Negative Regulator of Osteoblast Mineralization
An excessive intake of vitamin A has been associated with an increased risk of fractures in humans. In animals, a high vitamin A intake leads to a reduction of long bone diameter and spontaneous fractures. Studies in rodents indicate that the bone thinning is due to increased periosteal bone resorption and reduced radial growth. Whether the latter is a consequence of direct effects on bone or i...
متن کاملHedgehog signalling is required for perichondral osteoblast differentiation in zebrafish
In tetrapod long bones, Hedgehog signalling is required for osteoblast differentiation in the perichondrium. In this work we analyse skeletogenesis in zebrafish larvae treated with the Hedgehog signalling inhibitor cyclopamine. We show that cyclopamine treatment leads to the loss of perichondral ossification of two bones in the head. We find that the Hedgehog co-receptors patched1 and patched2 ...
