主要成果:
- 与野生型 littermates相比,SMSG56S/0小鼠表现出较低的脊椎骨质量和皮质厚度.
- 组织学分析显示,在SMSG56S/0小鼠中,非矿物化骨的增加.
- 减少骨形成速度被确定为低骨质量的主要原因.
- 来自SMSG56S/0小鼠的原发性骨髓细胞显示基质矿化受损,这表明细胞自主缺陷.
结论:
- 短信在骨质母细胞活动和骨重塑中起着重要的生理作用.

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...

To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.
