Osterix (Osx) is an osteoblast-specific transcription factor required for bone formation and osteoblast differentiation. The critical step in to replace the avascular cartilage template with vascularized bone. Osteogenesis angiogenesis are associated each other, sharing some essential regulators. Vascular endothelial growth (VEGF) involved both osteogenesis. Transcriptional regulation of VEGF expression not well known osteoblasts. In this study, quantitative real-time RT-PCR results revealed...

Natural bone apatite crystals, which mediate the development and regulate load-bearing function of bone, have recently been associated with strongly bound citrate molecules. However, such understanding has not translated into biomaterial design osteoblast cell culture. In this work, we developed a new class biodegradable, mechanically strong, biocompatible citrate-based polymer blends (CBPBs), offer enhanced hydroxyapatite binding to produce more biomimetic composites (CBPBHAs) for...

Osterix (Osx) is an osteoblast-specific transcription factor required for osteoblast differentiation. Inhibition of Wnt pathway by Osx highlights the potential feedback control mechanisms involved in bone formation. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) a master regulator hypoxia. HIF-1α has been reported to couple angiogenesis osteogenesis. Our recent study demonstrated that and cooperatively regulate VEGF expression osteoblasts. Effects hypoxia/HIF-1α on proliferation related are not well...

Osterix (Osx) is an osteoblast-specific transcription factor required for osteoblast differentiation from mesenchymal stem cells. In Osx knock-out mice, no bone formation occurs. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) a member of the nuclear hormone superfamily that regulates target gene to ensure appropriate control calcium homeostasis and development. Here, we provide several lines evidence show VDR transcriptional regulation by in osteoblasts. For example, calvaria obtained Osx-null embryos...

Thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum (TOLF) is characterized by ectopic bone formation in and considered to be a leading cause thoracic spinal canal stenosis myelopathy. However, underlying etiology not well understood. An iTRAQ proteomics was used reveal involvement inflammation factors TOLF. TNF-α pro-inflammatory cytokine implicated pathogenesis many human diseases. Protein profiling analysis showed that protein level increased ossified TOLF, which confirmed western blot. The...

Mechanical stress and genetic factors play important roles in the occurrence of thoracic ossification ligament flavum (TOLF), which can occur at one, two, or multiple levels spine. It is unclear whether single- multiple-level TOLF differ terms osteogenic differentiation potency osteogenesis-related gene expression under cyclic mechanical stress. This was addressed present study using patients with non‑TOLF single‑ multiple‑level (n=8 per group). Primary cells were cultured osteogenesis...

Kidney‑type glutaminase (GLS1) plays a significant role in tumor metabolism. Our recent studies demonstrated that GLS1 was aberrantly expressed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and facilitated progression. However, the roles of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remain largely unknown. Thus, aim this study to evaluate expression clinical significance ICC. For purpose, combined data from Oncomine database with those immunohistochemistry were used determine levels cancerous non‑cancerous...

Abstract Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) is a member of the transforming growth factor‐β super family. It has multiple effects on development, physiology and diseases. However, role GDF11 in development mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) not clear. To explore pro‐angiogenic activities MSCs, mouse bone marrow–derived MSCs were engineered to overexpress (MSC ) their capacity for paracrine actions examined both vitro vivo. Expression endothelial markers CD31 VEGFR2 at levels mRNA protein...
