THE ROLE OF MESENCHYMAL OSTEOBLASTS AND SURFACE OSTEOBLASTS Frederic Shapiro* Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Orthopaedic Research Laboratories, Children’s Hospital Boston, Boston MA, USA Abstract Introductory concepts and terms Bone development occurs by two mechanisms: Bone formation intramembranous bone formation and endochondral bone Bone formation is complex but the three-dimensional formation. Bone tissue forms by eventual differentiation positioning of cells and matrices is straightforward. As in of osteoprogenitor cells into either mesenchymal osteoblasts any discussion of bone formation it is important to keep (MOBL), which synthesize woven bone in random in mind the distinction between bone as a tissue (bone orientation, or surface osteoblasts (SOBL), which cells and the mineralized matrix) and bone as an organ synthesize bone on surfaces in a well oriented lamellar array. (including several tissues such as bone, cartilage, fibrous Bone repair uses the same formation patterns as bone tissue, marrow and blood vessels). Normal bone develops development but the specific mechanism of repair is using only 2 mechanisms: determined by the biomechanical environment provided. a) Intramembranous bone formation is mediated by Bone synthesis and maintenance are highly dependent on the inner periosteal osteogenic layer with bone synthesized the blood supply of bone and on cell-cell communication initially without the mediation of a cartilage phase. via the lacunar-canalicular system.

Key Words: bone development, fracture repair, osteotomy, intramembranous bone, endochondral bone, mesenchymal Matrix orientation osteoblasts, surface osteoblasts, distraction osteogenesis. In bone tissue formation osteoblasts synthesize and deposit type I collagen, the main protein constituent of bone matrix, in only 2 basic conformations, a) woven and b) lamellar. In woven bone the collagen fibrils are randomly oriented while in lamellar bone they are clustered in parallel arrays. The fibrils in lamellar bone are not parallel to each other and to the longitudinal axis; rather they alternate in adjacent layers between longitudinal and transverse orientations is a so-called orthogonal pattern. These processes are repeated in normal bone development, in bone repair utilizing any of several mechanisms, and in several pathologic conditions. *Address for correspondence: Osteoblasts F.

    Fu et al. Stem Cell Research & Therapy (2021) 12:377 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13287-021-02456-w REVIEW Open Access Systemic therapy of MSCs in bone regeneration: a systematic review and meta-analysis Jingfei Fu, Yanxue Wang, Yiyang Jiang, Juan Du, Junji Xu* and Yi Liu* Abstract Objectives: Over the past decades, many studies focused on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy for bone regeneration. Due to the efficiency of topical application has been widely dicussed and systemic application was also a feasible way for new bone formation, the aim of this study was to systematically review systemic therapy of MSCs for bone regeneration in pre-clinical studies. Methods: The article search was conducted in PubMed and Embase databases. Original research articles that assessed potential effect of systemic application of MSCs for bone regeneration in vivo were selected and evaluated in this review, according to eligibility criteria. The efficacy of MSC systemic treatment was analyzed by random effects meta-analysis, and the outcomes were expressed in standard mean difference (SMD) and its 95% confidence interval. Subgroup analyses were conducted on animal species and gender, MSCs types, frequency and time of injection, and bone diseases. Results: Twenty-three articles were selected in this review, of which 21 were included in meta-analysis. The results showed that systemic therapy increased bone mineral density (SMD 3.02 [1.84, 4.20]), bone volume to tissue volume ratio (2.10 [1.16, 3.03]), and the percentage of new bone area (7.03 [2.10, 11.96]). Bone loss caused by systemic disease tended to produce a better response to systemic treatment (p=0.05 in BMD, p=0.03 in BV/TV).

Muise-Helmericks and Andy Wessels Received: 13 March 2015 / Accepted: 6 May 2015 / Published: 12 May 2015 Abstract: Cartilage regeneration is massive during tail regeneration in lizards but little is known about cartilage regeneration in other body regions of the skeleton. The recovery capability of injured epiphyses of femur and tibia of lizard knees has been studied by histology and 5BrdU immunohistochemistry in lizards kept at high environmental temperatures. Lizard epiphyses contain a secondary ossified center of variable extension surrounded peripherally by an articular cartilage and basally by columns of chondrocytes that form the mataphyseal or growth plate. After injury of the knee epiphyses, a broad degeneration of the articular cartilage during the first days post-injury is present. However a rapid regeneration of cartilaginous tissue is observed from 7 to 14 days post-injury and by 21 days post-lesions, a large part of the epiphyses are reformed by new cartilage. Labeling with 5BrdU indicates that the proliferating cells are derived from both the surface of the articular cartilage and from the metaphyseal plate, two chondrogenic regions that appear proliferating also in normal, uninjured knees. Chondroblasts proliferate by interstitial multiplication forming isogenous groups with only a scant extracellular matrix that later increases.

With age, the commitment of BMSCs to osteogenesis Marrow fat Aging slows, bone formation decreases, fracture risk rises, and marrow adiposity increases. An unresolved question is whether osteogenesis and adipogenesis are co-regulated in the bone marrow. Osteogenesis and adipogenesis are controlled by specific signaling mechanisms, circulating cytokines, and transcription factors such as Runx2 and Pparγ, respectively. One hypothesis is that adipogenesis is the default pathway if osteogenic stimuli are absent. However, recent work revealed that Runx2 and Osx1-expressing preosteoblasts form lipid droplets under pa- thological and aging conditions.

  • Small Leucine Rich Proteoglycans, a Novel Link to Osteoclastogenesis Vardit Kram1, Tina M

Young1 Biglycan (Bgn) and Fibromodulin (Fmod) are subtypes of the small leucine-rich family of proteoglycans Received: 1 February 2017 (SLRP). In this study we examined the skeletal phenotype of BgnFmod double knockout (BgnFmod KO) Accepted: 13 September 2017 mice and found they were smaller in size and have markedly reduced bone mass compared to WT. The Published: xx xx xxxx low bone mass (LBM) phenotype is the result of both the osteoblasts and osteoclasts from BgnFmod KO mice having higher diferentiation potential and being more active compared to WT mice. Using multiple approaches, we showed that both Bgn and Fmod directly bind TNFα as well as RANKL in a dose dependent manner and that despite expressing higher levels of both TNFα and RANKL, BgnFmod KO derived osteoblasts cannot retain these cytokines in the vicinity of the cells, which leads to elevated TNFα and RANKL signaling and enhanced osteoclastogenesis. Furthermore, adding either Bgn or Fmod to osteoclast precursor cultures signifcantly attenuated the cells ability to form TRAP positive, multinucleated giant cells. In summary, our data indicates that Bgn and Fmod expressed by the bone forming cells, are novel coupling ECM components that control bone mass through sequestration of TNFα and/or RANKL, thereby adjusting their bioavailability in order to regulate osteoclastogenesis. As life expectancy continues to rise, the burden of age-related diseases is expected to increase. One such age-related disease is osteoporosis. Te skeleton is a dynamic tissue undergoing continuous remodeling - old bone is being resorbed by osteoclasts and new bone is laid down by osteoblasts- at multiple foci at the same time.

Abstract– Alveolar bone augmentation requires the use of bone graft particles to promote bone formation. Freeze-dried bovine bone xenograft (FDBBX) is a type of bone substitute may be potential as an alternative to autogenous bone graft. However, since it is xenogeneic material, it may trigger body’s immune response and cause early resorption of the graft. Tumor Necrosis Factor- (TNF-) is a cytokine which is released rapidly after trauma or infection and is one of the most abundant mediators in inflammation tissue. The immune system and immune response play a very important role in the concept of bone healing. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs) is a critical component of the immune system which release TNF-. This study aims to evaluate FDBBX effect on the secretion of TNF-á in hPBMCs culture. hPBMC cultures were divided into two groups. In experimental groups, the cell was cultured in FDBX conditioned medium of 2.5% dilution while in control group, basic medium was used.

Although common, defects of articular cartilage present a unique clinical challenge due to its poor self-healing capacity, which is largely due to its avascular nature. There is a critical need to better study and understand cellular healing mechanisms to achieve more effective therapies for cartilage regeneration. This article aims to describe the key features of cartilage which is being modelled using tissue engineered cartilage constructs and ex vivo systems. These models have been used to investigate chondrogenic differentiation and to study the mechanisms of cartilage integration into the surrounding tissue. The review highlights the key regeneration principles of articular cartilage repair in healthy and diseased joints. Using co-culture models and novel bioreactor designs, the basis of regeneration is aligned with recent efforts for optimal therapeutic interventions.

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 62 (4): 819–831. Osteoderms are common in most archosauriform lineages, including basal forms, such as doswelliids and proterochamp- sids. In this survey, osteoderms of the doswelliids Doswellia kaltenbachi and Vancleavea campi, and proterochampsid Chanaresuchus bonapartei are examined to infer their palaeobiology, such as histogenesis, age estimation at death, development of external sculpturing, and palaeoecology. Doswelliid osteoderms have a trilaminar structure: two corti- ces of compact bone (external and basal) that enclose an internal core of cancellous bone. In contrast, Chanaresuchus bonapartei osteoderms are composed of entirely compact bone. The external ornamentation of Doswellia kaltenbachi is primarily formed and maintained by preferential bone growth. Conversely, a complex pattern of resorption and redepo- sition process is inferred in Archeopelta arborensis and Tarjadia ruthae. Vancleavea campi exhibits the highest degree of variation among doswelliids in its histogenesis (metaplasia), density and arrangement of vascularization and lack of sculpturing. The relatively high degree of compactness in the osteoderms of all the examined taxa is congruent with an aquatic or semi-aquatic lifestyle. In general, the osteoderm histology of doswelliids more closely resembles that of phytosaurs and pseudosuchians than that of proterochampsids.
