Low bone mass and changes in the osteocyte network in mice lacking autophagy in the osteoblast lineage
Autophagy maintains cell function and homeostasis by recycling intracellular components. This process is also required for morphological changes associated with maturation of some cell types. Osteoblasts are bone forming cells some of which become embedded in bone and differentiate into osteocytes. This transformation includes development of long cellular projections and a reduction in endoplas...
متن کاملOsteocyte-specific WNT1 regulates osteoblast function during bone homeostasis.
Mutations in WNT1 cause osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and early-onset osteoporosis, identifying it as a key Wnt ligand in human bone homeostasis. However, how and where WNT1 acts in bone are unclear. To address this mechanism, we generated late-osteoblast-specific and osteocyte-specific WNT1 loss- and gain-of-function mouse models. Deletion of Wnt1 in osteocytes resulted in low bone mass with sp...
متن کاملSmad4 controls bone homeostasis through regulation of osteoblast/osteocyte viability
Regulation of osteoblast and osteocyte viability is essential for bone homeostasis. Smad4, a major transducer of bone morphogenetic protein and transforming growth factor-β signaling pathways, regulates apoptosis in various cell types through a mitochondrial pathway. However, it remains poorly understood whether Smad4 is necessary for the regulation of osteoblast and osteocyte viability. In thi...
متن کاملRosiglitazone impacts negatively on bone by promoting osteoblast/osteocyte apoptosis.
Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) increase peripheral tissue insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by activating the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma). In bone marrow stromal cell cultures and in vivo, activation of PPARgamma by high doses (20 mg/kg/day) of TZDs has been reported to alter stem cell differentiation by promoting commitme...
متن کاملThe Osteocyte Syncytium in Healthy and Pathologic Human Cortical Bone
INTRODUCTION Until recently, an osteocyte was defined as an “osteoblast that is embedded in bony tissue and which is relatively inactive” [1]. Recent studies implicate an active role of this cell in mechanotransduction and functional adaptation of bone tissue [2,3]. The osteocyte lies within a space referred to as a lacuna and its cell processes are contained within long cavities called canalic...
