The Osteocyte: An Endocrine Cell … and More

TL;DR: The osteocytes encased within mineralized bone matrix are actually multifunctional cells with many key regulatory roles in bone and mineral homeostasis and should be considered in new strategies to prevent and treat bone disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proteolysis of Latent Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β)-binding Protein-1 by Osteoclasts A CELLULAR MECHANISM FOR RELEASE OF TGF-β FROM BONE MATRIX

TL;DR: These studies identify LTBP1 as a novel substrate for MMPs and provide the first demonstration that LT BP1 proteolysis may be a physiological mechanism for release of TGF-β from ECM-bound stores, potentially the first step in the pathway by which matrix-bound TGF -β is rendered active.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of transforming growth factor β on bone nodule formation and expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2, osteocalcin, osteopontin, alkaline phosphatase, and type I collagen mRNA in long-term cultures of fetal rat calvarial osteoblasts

TL;DR: The results, showing suppression of markers representative of osteoblast differentiation, suggest that the effects of TGF‐β to stimulate bone formation in vivo are not likely a result of effects on differentiated mineralizing osteoblasts but, as suggested by previous studies, more likely are caused by effects on osteopontin precursors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Von Kossa Staining Alone Is Not Sufficient to Confirm that Mineralization In Vitro Represents Bone Formation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that von Kossa staining alone is not appropriate for the identification and quantitation of bonelike mineral and, hence, other techniques such as X-ray diffraction, EM, or FTIR should be utilized to verify the presence and quality of calcium phosphate phases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of the transition from osteoblast to osteocyte

TL;DR: Recent advances are reviewed that are delineating the changes in gene and protein expression that accompany osteocyte differentiation, which reveal the key role of cell motility in bone cell function and highlight the dynamic nature of mineralized tissues.
