Bones part 1 Flashcards
Rank pathway
Rank ligand (RANKL) on Osteoblast and marrow stroma cells
Rank receptor on Osteoclast precurosr and allows osteoclast generation and survival.
M-CSF pathway
MCSF secreted by OB
MCSF receptor allows OC generation and survival
WNT and B catenin pathway
WNT from marrow stromal cells
LRP 5 and LRP6 OB receptor bind WNT protein
secrete OPG which blocks Rank
basic multicellular unit (BMU)
local collection of OB, OC, and osteocytes
early bone formation dominates
adult undergo remodling: 10% year turnover
peak bone mass: early adulthood
Bone composition
calcium hydroxyapatite
organic matrix mostly type 1 collagen
types of bone: woven bone
random collagen deposition
rapid bone growth after healing fracture
resits forces in all directions
always pathologic in adults
Types of bone: lamellar bone:
ordered deposition
compact bone and spongy bone (calcinous)
replaces woven bone and stronger than woven bone.
Bone enzyme osteopontin (osteocalcin)
Unique to bone
levels parallel osteblast activity
bone enzyme: akaline phosphatase
from osteoblasts. Also in liver and placenta
Primary center of ossification in fetal life
center of bone
scendary center of ossification
physis or growth plate
bone formation
intramembranous ossification
direct from mesenchyme
appositional growth
anatomy: epiphysis
distal to grwoth plate
ataomy: metaphysis
beneath growth plate
anatomy: diaphysis
center
Dysostosis
local problems in migration of mesenchyme and their condensation. Fused finger.
HOXD13 defect
Dysplasia
global defect in regulation of skeletal organogenesis
growing an extra finger.
Cleidocrania dysplasia
autosomal dominant
RUNx2 (CBFA1) transcription factor defect
short stature
abnormal clavicles
supernumery teeth
wormian bone: extra sutral bones. located on the head.
achondroplasia
growth plate defect from paracrine cell defect
reduced chondrocyte proliferation in growth plate
FGFR3 point mutations: gain of function: Inhibits cartilage growth
90% are spontaneous mutation
most common from paternal allele
achondroplasia etiology
growth plate zones are narrowed and disorganized: premature bone deposition
appositional and intramembranous bone formation continues: create relatively thick cortical bone
FGFR3 point mutations: gain of function: Inhibits cartilage growth
Achondroplasia body design/physical signs
short stature
short proximal limbs
normal trunk length
enlarged head with bulging forehead
depression root of nose
normal longeitivity, intelligence, and reproductive status
thanatophoric dwarfism: etiology, and physical signs
most common lethal dwarfism with 1/20000 births
FGFR3 mutation gain of function
micromelic short bowed limbs
frontal bossing with macrocephaly
small underdeveloped chest with bell shaped abdomen ; respiratory failure
deminished chondrocyte proliferation.
clover leaf skull
LRP5: involvement in bone.
Receptor activates WNT/B catenin in OB: production of OPG (blocks RNKL) and increases bone mass
GOF of LRP5
GOF; cannot upregulate OC: autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type 1
LOF of LRP5
disease of inactive LRP5: osteoporosis pseudoglioma syndrome:
Skeletal fragility and loss of vision
Osteopetrosis etiology
“marble bone disease
diffuse systemic bone sclerosis
cannot acidify pit: carbonic anhydrase II (CA2) deficiency
defect in RANKL: not enough OC activity
LRP5 gain of function
spectrum from autosomal dominant benign to autosomal recessive “malignant”
Osteopetrosis pathology
bone despotion replaces medullary cavity: no room for heamtopoiesis: extramedually hematopoiesis
bulbous long bone: Erlenmeyer flask deformity
narrow neural foramina
brittle bones
Autosomal dominant benign osteopetrosis: overview
adolescent or adulthood
multiple fractures
mild anemia
hepatosplenomegaly
mild cranial nerve defects
can be treated with bone marrow transplant
Osteogenesis imperfecta: overview
group of type 1 collage diseases
“brittle bone disease”
affects other areas rich in type 1 collagen
mutations of alpha 1 or 2 chains: quantitative decrease or qualitative defect
most common type is autosomal dominant
extreme skeletal fragility vs child abuse
