Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling01:31

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

4.4K
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during...

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

40.7K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Spongy Bone01:09

Spongy Bone

8.7K
All bones comprise an outer layer of compact bone, and an interior made up of spongy bone tissue, also called cancellous or trabecular bone. In long bones, spongy bone tissue is mainly found in the interior of the epiphyses (broad ends of the bone).
Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...

Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification01:24

Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification

10.3K
Bone formation, or ossification, begins around the sixth to seventh week of embryonic development. Most bones develop from a cartilaginous template through the process of endochondral ossification. Cartilage formation begins when clusters of mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondrocytes. These chondrocytes proliferate rapidly and secrete an extracellular matrix that becomes encased in a membrane called the perichondrium. The resulting cartilage model provides a template that resembles the...

Bone Formation by Intramembranous Ossification01:29

Bone Formation by Intramembranous Ossification

12.1K
Intramembranous ossification is one of the two processes involved in the development of bones within an embryo. The flat bones of the face, most of the cranial bones, and the clavicles are formed via this process. During intramembranous ossification, the bones develop directly from sheets of undifferentiated mesenchymal connective tissue.
The process begins when mesenchymal cells in the embryonic skeleton gather together and differentiate into osteogenic cells, which then develop into ...

Bone Cells and Tissue01:30

Bone Cells and Tissue

9.0K
Bones contain a relatively small number of cells entrenched in a matrix of organic and inorganic components. Although bone cells compose only a small amount of the bone volume, they are crucial to its function. Four types of cells are found within the bone tissue— osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteogenic cells, and osteoclasts.
Osteoblasts and Osteocytes
The osteoblast is the bone cell responsible for forming new bone tissue. It is found in the growing portions of bone, including the...

Summary

Localized scleroderma is associated with increased periostin and collagen deposition. Unexpected overexpression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) was also observed in patients, suggesting a role in disease pathogenesis.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Periostin is a matricellular protein found in bone, skin, and periodontal ligament.
  • Its expression is notable in fibrotic conditions, but understudied in localized scleroderma.
  • This study explores periostin's role in localized scleroderma pathogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate periostin expression in localized scleroderma.
  • To compare periostin and other molecular markers between patients and controls.
  • To elucidate the role of periostin in the pathogenesis of localized scleroderma.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 14 patients with mature localized scleroderma.
  • Comparison with 14 age- and biopsy site-matched healthy controls.
  • Assessment of collagen, periostin, procollagen, TGF-β, and MMP-1 expression via immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy.

Main Results:

  • Localized scleroderma patients showed increased collagen deposition and wider periostin distribution in the dermis compared to controls.
  • MMP-1 expression was significantly higher in both epidermis and dermis of patients.
  • Semi-quantitative analysis confirmed excessive collagen (57.1%), diffuse periostin (42.9%), and moderate MMP-1 (71.4%) in patients (p<0.05).

Conclusions:

  • Patients with localized scleroderma exhibit enhanced periostin expression linked to increased collagen deposition.
  • Unexpected overexpression of MMP-1 was observed in localized scleroderma.
  • These findings suggest periostin and MMP-1 play a role in the pathogenesis of localized scleroderma.
