Journal ArticleDOI
Repair of rabbit articular surfaces with allograft chondrocytes embedded in collagen gel
S. Wakitani,Tomonori Kimura,Atsushi Hirooka,Takahiro Ochi,M. Yoneda,Natsuo Yasui,Hajime Owaki,Keiro Ono +7 more
TL;DR: Allogenic transplantation of isolated chondrocytes embedded in collagen gel appears to be one of the most promising methods for the restoration of articular cartilage.
Journal ArticleDOI
A RUNX2/PEBP2αA/CBFA1 mutation displaying impaired transactivation and Smad interaction in cleidocranial dysplasia
Yu-Wen Zhang,Natsuo Yasui,Kosei Ito,Gang Huang,Makiko Fujii,Jun-ichi Hanai,Hiroshi Nogami,Takahiro Ochi,Kohei Miyazono,Yoshiaki Ito +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that signal transducers of transforming growth factor beta superfamily receptors, Smads, interact with RUNX2 in vivo and in vitro and enhance the transactivation ability of this factor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptional regulation of osteopontin gene in vivo by PEBP2alphaA/CBFA1 and ETS1 in the skeletal tissues
Motohiko Sato,Eiichi Morii,Toshihisa Komori,Hirohisa Kawahata,Mizuo Sugimoto,Kunihiro Terai,Hideo Shimizu,Takahiro Yasui,Takahiro Yasui,Hideki Ogihara,Natsuo Yasui,Takahiro Ochi,Yukihiko Kitamura,Yoshiaki Ito,Shintaro Nomura +14 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that PEBP2αA and ETS1 cooperate in vivo to regulate expression of the opn gene in the skeletal tissue and the specific spatial arrangement of both sites and direct interaction between PEBP1 and Ets1, were essential for promoter function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical Tension-Stress Induces Expression of Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)-2 and BMP-4, but Not BMP-6, BMP-7, and GDF-5 mRNA, During Distraction Osteogenesis
Motohiko Sato,Takahiro Ochi,Takanobu Nakase,Seiichi Hirota,Yukihiko Kitamura,Shintaro Nomura,Natsuo Yasui +6 more
TL;DR: The present results suggest that excellent and uninterrupted bone formation during distraction osteogenesis owes to enhanced expression of B MP‐2 and BMP‐4 genes by mechanical tension‐stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skeletal muscle gene expression in space-flown rats.
Takeshi Nikawa,Kazumi Ishidoh,Katsuya Hirasaka,Ibuki Ishihara,Madoka Ikemoto,Mihoko Kano,Eiki Kominami,Ikuya Nonaka,Takayuki Ogawa,Gregory R. Adams,Kenneth M. Baldwin,Natsuo Yasui,Kyoichi Kishi,Shin'ichi Takeda +13 more
TL;DR: It is postulate that mitochondrial dislocation during spaceflight has deleterious effects on muscle fibers, leading to atrophy in the form of insufficient energy provision for construction and leakage of reactive oxygen species from the mitochondria.
