چکیده
Zebrafish have an unlimited capacity to regenerate bone after fin amputation. In this process, mature osteoblasts dedifferentiate to osteogenic precursor cells and thus represent an important source of newly forming bone. By contrast, differentiated osteoblasts do not appear to contribute to repair of bone injuries in mammals; rather, osteoblasts form anew from mesenchymal stem cells. This raises the question whether osteoblast dedifferentiation is specific to appendage regeneration, a special feature of the lepidotrichia boneof the fish fin, or a process found more generally in fish bone. Here, we show that dedifferentiation of mature osteoblasts is not restricted to fin regeneration afteramputation, but alsooccurs during repair of zebrafish fin fractures and skull injuries. In both models, mature osteoblasts surrounding the injury downregulate the expression of differentiation markers, upregulate markers of the pre-osteoblast state and become proliferative. Making use of photoconvertible Kaede protein as well as Cre-driven genetic fate mapping, we show that osteoblasts migrate to the site of injury to replace damaged tissue. Our findings suggest a fundamental role for osteoblast dedifferentiation in reparative bone formation in fish and indicate that adult fish osteoblasts displayelevated cellular plasticity compared with mammalian bone-forming cells.

متن کاملH-dihyperon in Quark Cluster Model
The H dihyperon (DH) is studied in the framework of the SU(3) chiral quark model. It is shown that except the σ chiral field, the overall effect of the other SU(3) chiral fields is destructive in forming a stable DH. The resultant mass of DH in a three coupled channel calculation is ranged from 2225 M eV to 2234 M eV .
