TLDR
It is demonstrated that TNSALP knock‐out mice are a good model for the infantile form of hypophosphatasia and compelling evidence for an important role for TNSalP in postnatal development and mineralization of the murine skeleton is provided.Abstract:
Hypophosphatasia is an inborn error of metabolism characterized by deficient activity of the tissue-nonspecific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) and skeletal disease due to impaired mineralization of cartilage and bone matrix. We investigated two independently generated TNSALP gene knock-out mouse strains as potential models for hypophosphatasia. Homozygous mice (−/−) had < 1% of wild-type plasma TNSALP activity; heterozygotes had the predicted mean of ~50%. Phosphoethanolamine, inorganic pyrophosphate, and pyridoxal 5′-phosphate are putative natural substrates for TNSALP and all were increased endogenously in the knock-out mice. Skeletal disease first appeared radiographically at ~10 days of age and featured worsening rachitic changes, osteopenia, and fracture. Histologic studies revealed developmental arrest of chondrocyte differentiation in epiphyses and in growth plates with diminished or absent hypertrophic zones. Progressive osteoidosis from defective skeletal matrix mineralization was noted but not associated with features of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Plasma and urine calcium and phosphate levels were unremarkable. Our findings demonstrate that TNSALP knock-out mice are a good model for the infantile form of hypophosphatasia and provide compelling evidence for an important role for TNSALP in postnatal development and mineralization of the murine skeleton.read more

TL;DR: It is reported that LRP5, encoding the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5, affects bone mass accrual during growth and is important for the establishment of peak bone mass.

TL;DR: The results suggest that inhibiting PC-1 function may be a viable therapeutic strategy for hypophosphatasia, and interfere with TNAP activity may correct pathological hyperossification because of PPi insufficiency.
