Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants01:22

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

1.3K
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Endocrine Signaling01:45

Endocrine Signaling

68.2K
Endocrine cells produce hormones to communicate with remote target cells found in other organs. The hormone reaches these distant areas using the circulatory system. This exposes the whole organism to the hormone but only those cells expressing hormone receptors or target cells are affected. Thus, endocrine signaling induces slow responses from its target cells but these effects also last longer.

Bone Structure01:55

Bone Structure

51.8K
Within the skeletal system, the structure of a bone, or osseous tissue, can be exemplified in a long bone, like the femur, where there are two types of osseous tissue: cortical and cancellous.

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

40.5K
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.

Compact Bone01:27

Compact Bone

16.6K
Most bones contain compact and spongy osseous tissue, but their distribution and concentration vary based on the bone's overall function.
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...

Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

5.4K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Summary

Bone tissue is a target for environmental xenoestrogens, known as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). EDC exposure disrupts skeletal hormonal regulation, impacting bone health and bone marrow cell functions.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Skeletal Biology
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Bone is a dynamic endocrine tissue producing hormones like osteocalcin and FGF23.
  • Bone participates in systemic homeostasis and is responsive to hormonal signaling (leptin, insulin, estrogens, serotonin).
  • Bone is a known target for environmental xenoestrogens, classified as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the detrimental effects of EDCs on bone tissue.
  • To provide current information on xenoestrogen actions within the bone microenvironment.
  • To elucidate EDC-induced disruptions in skeletal hormonal regulation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on endocrine-disrupting chemicals and bone biology.
  • Analysis of EDC impact on bone modeling and remodeling processes.
  • Examination of xenoestrogen effects on bone marrow cell proliferation, maturation, and homing.

Main Results:

  • EDC exposure disrupts systemic hormonal regulation of the skeleton.
  • Xenoestrogens interfere with bone modeling and remodeling.
  • EDCs negatively affect bone marrow cell proliferation, maturation, and homing.

Conclusions:

  • Bone tissue is highly susceptible to endocrine disruption by environmental xenoestrogens.
  • EDCs pose a significant threat to skeletal health by altering hormonal balance and bone marrow function.
  • Understanding xenoestrogen action is crucial for addressing EDC-related skeletal pathologies.
