8-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
in bones
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
During decline of synthesizing activity:
osteoblast ____________ and cytoplasmic
basophilia is reduced
flatten
found in cavities (lacunae) between layers
(lamellae) of bone matrix
mature form of osteoblast
less basophilic; less synthetic ability
Osteocytes
individual osteoblasts are gradually
surrounded by their own secretion and
become osteocytes enclosed singly within
spaces called
lacunae
cells are involved in maintaining the bony matrix and their death is followed by resorption of this matrix
Osteocytes
histologic properties of osteocytes
- are flat, almond-shaped cells
▪ exhibit a significantly reduced RER and Golgi apparatus and more condensed nuclear chromatin
transition from osteoblasts to osteocytes
the cells extend many long __________ which also become surrounded
by calcifying matrix
cytoplasmic processes
osteocyte and its processes occupy each
lacuna and the canaliculi radiating from it
Processes of adjacent cells make contact
via __________ and molecules are
passed via these structures from cell to cell
can provide nourishment for a chain of
about ten cells
gap junctions
TYPES OF OSTEOCYTES
Quiescent osteocytes
Formative osteocytes
Resorptive osteocytes
*
exhibit a paucity of rER and a markedly
diminished Golgi apparatus
*
an osmiophilic lamina representing mature
calcified matrix is seen in close apposition
to the cell membrane
Quiescent osteocytes
show evidence of matrix deposition and
exhibit c ertain characteristics similar to
those of osteoblasts.
*
rER and Golgi apparatus are more
abundant, and there is evidence of osteoid
in the pericellular space within the lacuna
Formative osteocytes
*
like formative osteocytes, contain
numerous profiles of endoplasmic
reticulum and a well developed Golgi
apparatus. More over, lysosomes are
conspicuous.
Resorptive osteocytes
multi nucleated giant cells involved in the
resorption and remodeling of bone tissue
*
come from series of hemopoiesis
Osteoclasts
Osteoclasts lie within enzymatically etched depressions or crypts in the matrix known as ________________ in bone undergoing resorption
resorption bays (formerly called Howship lacunae)
In active osteoclasts the surface against
the bone matrix i s folded into
irregular projections, which form a
ruffled border
without this structure there’s impaired resorption of bone
ruffled border
surrounding the ruffled border is a
_________________
between the osteoclast and the matrix in
which bone resorption occurs
subcellular pocket microenvironment
in to this subcellular pocket the osteoclast
secretes _____________ and other enzymes
and pumps protons, forming an acidic
environment locally for dissolving
___________ and promoting the
localized digestion of collagen
collagenase; hydroxyapatite
Osteoclasts have receptors for
_________ a thyroid hormone, but not for
parathyroid hormone.
calcitonin
Osteoblasts activated by PTH
produce a
cytokine called
osteoclast stimulating factor
–
characterized by dense, heavy bones
(“marble bones”)
–
osteoclasts lack ruffled borders, and
bone resorption is defective
Osteopetrosis
*
cells that remain on the bone surface when
there is no active growth
*
derived from those osteoblasts that
remain after bone deposition ceases
Bone lining cells
All cells except ________ originate from
the mesenchymal stem cells
osteoclasts
mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into
osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblasts, and finally osteocytes and bone-lining cells.
