B6-052 CBCL Osteoporosis Flashcards
characterized by loose arrangement of collagen fibers
forms during fracture repair and remodeling
primary (woven) bone
regular parallel arrangement of collagen
only visible on dried/ground sections
lamellar bone
inner layer of bone with spaces for marrow
trabecular bone
outer solid cortex of bone which encloses an inner layer of spongey bone
cortical bone
contains osteoprogenitor cells that can help with bone repair/remodeling [2]
periosteum
endosteum
organic matrix of bone is composed primarily of
type 1 collagen fibers
inorganic matrix of bone is composed primarily of
calcium hydroxypatite
99% of the bodies […] and […] is stored in bone
calcium
phosphate
osteoblasts come from what stem cell line?
mesenchymal
osteoclasts come from what stem cell line?
hematopoietic (monocyte/macrophages)
found in growing portion of bone, including periosteum and endosteum
osteoblasts
stimulates osteoclastogenesis
RANKL
decoy receptor of RANKL
ostoprotegerin
noncollagenous protein required for bone mineralization
osteocalcin
noncollagenous protein required for formation of sealing zone
osteopontin
**allow osteoblasts to have tight grip on bone
entrapped in matrix
osteocytes
function to maintain mineral concentration of matrix
osteocytes
primary function is bone formation
osteoblasts
mechanosensory sensors of bone
osteocytes
synthesize sclerostin which inhibits osteoblastic activity
osteocytes
found at bone surface and at sites of old, injured, or unneeded bone
osteoclasts
giant, mutlinucleate cells derived from monocytes
osteoclasts
genetic factors that influence peak bone mass
polymorphisms in vitamin D-R
LRP5/6 (males)
RANK, OPG, RANKL
how does menopause lead to osteoporosis?
decreased serum estrogen increases RANK/RANKL expression and stimulation of osteoclasts
compact bone remodeling occurs within the
osteon
trabecular bone remodeling occurs on
bone surface
inhibits osteoclastic activity
calcitonin
how does PTH stimulate bone reabsorption?
PTH binds to osteoblasts
osteoblasts release RANKL
RANKL binds to RANK on preosteoclasts
activates osteoclasts
what factors lead to the activation of osteoclasts? [2]
vitamin D
PTH
what factors lead to the inhibition of osteoclasts? [3]
estrogen
calcintonin
TGF-b
how does estrogen inhibit osteoclasts?
estrogen induces the secretion of OPG
OPG binds to RANKL and interferes with RANKL/RANK interaction
inhibits bone resorption
if OPG is greater than RANKL…
osteoclast apoptosis –> more bone formation
if OPG is less than RANKL…
osteoclast activation –> bone resorption
monoclonal antibody that binds to RANKL and competitively inhibits RANK binding
denosumab
can be used to treat osteoporosis
estrogen inhibits differentiation and promotes apoptosis of […]
osteoclasts
estrogen promotes differentiation and inhibits apoptosis of […]
osteoblasts
what does vitamin D do during positive calcium balance?
promotes intestinal calcium transport
what does vitamin D do during negative calcium balance?
induce osteoblastic expression of RANKL
suppresses bone matrix mineralization
WNT binds to LRP5/6 to stimulate [2]
osteoblastic activity
OPG
produced by osteocytes and has a negative effect on the WNT LRP5/6 pathway inhibiting osteoblasts
sclerostin
mechanical stress leads to the downregulation of […]
sclerostin
reduced muscle activity and reduced mechanical stress will lead to
higher slerostin
inhibition of ostoblasts
top genes associated with the development of osteoporosis [3]
RANK
OPG
RANKL
calcium nutritional state is key to […]
peak bone mass
**calcium deficiency in young life restricts PBM
vitamin D absorption and metabolism […] with age
decline
decreased estrogen after menopause increases
bone resorption and formation
**but bone resorption is greater
what cytokines increase as a result of low estrogen?
IL 6
TNF-a
IL-1
**any disease state/drug that reduces estrogen in premenopausal women will also have this effect and cause net bone loss
inflammation primarily promotes […] activity
osteoclast
TNF-a, IL-1, and IL-6 inhibits […]
osteoblasts
