BONE Flashcards
- an example of specialized connective tissue
- its ECM is different because its matrix hardens
a connective tissue characterized by a
mineralized extracellular matrix (abundance of
calcium and phosphate)
BONE
Bone matrix contains mainly
type 1 collagen
FOUR MAIN GROUP S OF
NONCOLLAGENOUS PROTEINS FOUND IN
THE BONE MATRIX
Proteoglycans
Multiadhesive glycoproteins
Bone specific, vitamin K dependent
proteins
Growth factors and cytokines, which are
small regulatory proteins
contribute to the compressive strength of
bone
responsible for binding growth factors and
may inhibit mineralization
Proteoglycans
what are the Multiadhesive glycoproteins
Osteonectin
Osteopontin
Sialoprotein I and II
-
serves as a glue between the collagen
and hydroxyapatite crystals
Osteonectin
mediates attachment of cells to bone
matrix
Osteopontin
mediate cell attachment and initiate
calcium phosphate formation
Sialoprotein I and II
what are the Bone specific, vitamin K dependent proteins
Osteocalcin
Protein S
Matrix Gla-protein (MGP)
what are the Growth factors and cytokines, which are small regulatory proteins
Insulin like growth factors (IGFs)
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF-)
Transforming Growth Factor (TGF-)
Platelet Derived Growth Factors (PDGFs)
Interleukins (IL 1, IL 6)
Bone Morphogenic Proteins (BMPs)
is now used clinically to induce bone growth after bone surgery involving large bone defects, spinal fusions, or implantation of graft materials
Recombinant human BMP 7
(osteogenic protein 1)
BONE STRUCTURE consists of
Bone matrix
Periosteum
BONE CELLS consists of
Osteoprogenitor Cells
Osteoblasts
Osteocytes
Osteoclasts
Bone lining cells
–
contains spaces called lacunae connected
by a network of canaliculi
–
each lacunae contains a osteocyte which
osteocyte numerous processes extend into
small tunnels called canaliculi
Bone matrix
–
consists of dense connective tissue, with a
primarily fibrous layer covering a more
cellular layer
–
bone is vascularized by small vessels that
penetrate the matrix from the periosteum
Periosteum
cells derived from mesenchymal stem cells
give rise to osteoblasts
presursor cells of osteoblast
Osteoprogenitor Cells
Osteoprogenitor Cells are found on the
external and internal surfaces
of bones and may also reside in the
microvasculature supplying bone.
Osteoprogenitor Cells appear as
flattened or squamous cells
lightly staining
elongate, or ovoid nuclei
inconspicuous acidophilic or slightly
basophilic cytoplasm in growing bones
requires a population of renewable
osteoprogenitor cells (osteoblast precursor
cells) that are responsive to molecular
stimuli that transform them into bone
forming cells
synthesis of osteoprogenitor cells (ig?)
Osteogenesis
*
key factor that triggers
differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells
*
prompts the expression of genes that are
characteristic of the phenotype of the
osteoblast.
Core Binding Factor Alpha 1 (CBFA1)
Osteoblasts located exclusively at the ____________, usually side by side in a layer
somewhat resembling a simple epithelium
surfaces of bone matrix
synthesizes the ORGANIC components of
bone matrix
Osteoblasts
Osteoblasts are polarized cells matrix components are secreted at the cell surface in contact with older bone matrix, producing a layer of new (but not yet calcified) material called _________ between the osteoblast layer and the bone formed earlier
osteoid
During active matrix synthesis: osteoblasts
have a ________________ shape and
basophilic cytoplasm
cuboidal to columnar
