An antagonist of osteoclast integrins prevents experimental osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is caused by a chronic negative balance between the rates of bone formation and bone resorption, with resorption exceeding formation. Bone resorption in osteoporosis is mediated primarily by a single cell type, the osteoclast. An understanding of the cytologic mechanism by which osteoclasts resorb bone, and recognition of the biological factors that regulate osteoclast resorptive a...
متن کاملIntegrins, macrophages, and sarcoidosis.
T he article by Striz et al in this issue of Chest (see page 882) examines @32 integrin and ICAM-1 ex pression on human alveolar macrophages in patients with sarcoidosis and in control subjects. To put this interesting article in context, a brief overview of the background leading to this work is necessary. The cell population recovered by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from normal lungs is predo...
متن کاملIntegrins and cell proliferation
Proliferation of mammalian cells is tightly regulated by multiple environmental influences, primarily adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM), cell-cell adhesion and soluble factors (i.e. polypeptide growth factors or inhibitors, mitogenic lipids, inflammatory cytokines and hormones). Of these environmental cues, soluble growth factors and integrinmediated adhesion are most crucial, loss of ...
متن کاملIntegrins and the myocardium.
Extracellular matrix provides a structural, chemical, and mechanical substrate that is essential in cardiac development, growth, and responses to pathophysiological signals. Transmembrane receptors termed integrins provide a dynamic interaction of environmental cues and intracellular events. Integrins orchestrate multiple functions in the intact organism including organogenesis, regulation of g...
