Osteocyte function, osteocyte death and bone fracture resistance

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2000
The function of the most numerous cell in bone, the osteocyte, has until recently been mysterious and at times controversial. There is now an emerging consensus that osteocytes modulate signals arising from mechanical loading and so direct the appearance and disappearance of bone tissue at the microscopic level, which allows bone as an organ both to ...

siRNA Delivery via Cross‐Linked Gelatin Microparticles Enables Targeted Modulation of Osteogenic‐Vascular Cross‐Talk: An Advanced Human 3D in Vitro Test System for Therapeutic siRNA

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Osteogenic‐angiogenic cross‐talk is a vital prerequisite for vascularized bone regeneration. In this study, we investigated the effects of siRNA‐mediated silencing of two inhibitory proteins, Chordin and WWP‐1, via CaP‐NP‐loaded gelatin microparticles in osteogenically differentiated microtissues.

A systems biology approach to the identification and analysis of transcriptional regulatory networks in osteocytes

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2009
Background The osteocyte is a type of cell that appears to be one of the key endocrine regulators of bone metabolism and a key responder to initiate bone formation and remodeling.

Curcumin prevents osteocyte apoptosis by inhibiting M1‐type macrophage polarization in mice model of glucocorticoid‐associated osteonecrosis of the femoral head

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, 2020
Inflammation is a contributing factor in osteocyte apoptosis, which is strongly associated with the development of glucocorticoid‐associated osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GA‐ONFH).

A Modular Bioinstructive Platform Reveals Mechanistic Insights into Additive‐Free, Topography‐Driven Osteogenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered microparticle topographies direct human mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis without biochemical additives. This osteogenic commitment is driven by canonical Hedgehog signaling and followed by temporal IGF‐II engagement. Two‐photon polymerization demonstrates spatial control, enabling the engineering of topographical gradients that pattern ...

Osteocyte Signaling in Bone [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Osteoporosis Reports, 2012
Osteocytes, the cells residing within the bone matrix and comprising 90% to 95% of the all bone cells, have long been considered quiescent bystander cells compared to the osteoblasts and osteoclasts whose activities cause bone gain and loss, and whose dysfunction lead to growth defects and osteoporosis. However, recent studies show that osteocytes play

Effect of osteoporosis treatment agents on the cortical bone osteocyte microenvironment in adult estrogen-deficient, osteopenic rats

open access: yesBone Reports, 2018
Though osteoporosis is a significant cause of disability worldwide, treatment with pharmacologic agents decreases risk of fragility fracture. Though these treatments act through the bone remodeling system to improve bone mass, it is unclear if they alter

Comparative study in estrogen-depleted mice identifies skeletal and osteocyte transcriptomic responses to abaloparatide and teriparatide

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2023
Osteocytes express parathyroid hormone (PTH)/PTH-related protein (PTHrP) receptors and respond to the PTHrP analog abaloparatide (ABL) and to the PTH 1-34 fragment teriparatide (TPTD), which are used to treat osteoporosis.

Irisin Prevents Disuse‐Induced Osteocyte Apoptosis

open access: yesJournal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2019
Previous results showed that intermittently administered irisin improves bone mass in normal mice and prevents the development of disuse‐induced osteoporosis and muscular atrophy in hindlimb‐suspended mice, a murine model able to mimic the absence of ...
