Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply01:24

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

3.0K
Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits.  Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

39.3K
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.

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling01:31

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

3.5K
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 Formation by Endochondral Ossification01:24

Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification

7.1K
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 Ossification

9.1K
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 ...

Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue01:27

Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue

3.7K
Chondrocytes form a temporary cartilaginous model by dividing and secreting a thick gel-like extracellular matrix. Once the chondrocytes undergo programmed cell death, osteoblasts enter the site of the cartilaginous model. The process of replacing the temporary cartilaginous model with bone in an ordered manner is called endochondral ossification. In endochondral ossification, not all of the cartilage is replaced by bone tissue. Some cartilage that performs a protective and supportive function...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Biology
  • Cellular Biology
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Vascular calcification is a serious cardiovascular disease complication with no effective medical treatments.
  • Endothelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) contribute to vascular calcification by transforming endothelial cells into osteoprogenitor cells.
  • Reversing detrimental cell fate transitions is a largely unexplored therapeutic strategy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the reversal of endothelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) in vascular calcification.
  • To identify therapeutic targets for normalizing cell transitions in cardiovascular disease.
  • To explore the role of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) in vascular calcification.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted high-throughput screening to identify compounds affecting cell transitions.
  • Utilized SB216763, a glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) inhibitor, to study osteoblastic-endothelial transitions.
  • Employed lineage tracing and genetic deletion of GSK3β to validate findings in vascular calcification models.

Main Results:

  • Identified SB216763 as a GSK3 inhibitor that induces osteoblastic-endothelial transition.
  • Demonstrated that SB216763 limits early-stage osteogenic differentiation in endothelial cells.
  • Showed that SB216763 redirects osteoblast-like cells back to the endothelial lineage, reducing late-stage calcification.
  • Confirmed that GSK3β deletion in osteoblasts recapitulates these beneficial transitions and reduces vascular calcification.

Conclusions:

  • Inhibition of GSK3 promotes the transition of osteoblastic cells to an endothelial fate, effectively reversing detrimental cell changes.
  • This GSK3-mediated cellular reprogramming offers a promising therapeutic approach to ameliorate vascular calcification and treat cardiovascular disease.
