Q

What are some characterists similar and different between BSP and OPN?

A

similarities

  • binds to hydroxyapatite
  • binds to RGD integrins
  • highly phosphorylated

Differences

  • BSP: 2-3 glutamic motif
  • BSP is more tissue specific
  • BSP is highly sulfated too
  • BSP has high sialic acid content
  • OPN: polyaspartic motif
  • OPN is broad tissue specific

17
Q

Which proteins are expressed during the differentiation phase?

A

Alkaline Phosphatase

BSP (also early mineralization)

18
Q

Which proteins are expressed during the Mineralization phase?

A

OPN

SPARC (always)

19
Q

Draw a western blot for termporal expression of all protein

20
Q

Where are early crystals formed?
What are these crystals made of?
What promotes this growth?

A

in the collagen hole zones

hydroxyapatite crystals

BSP
vesicles (w/ alkaline phosphatase and nucleotide
pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase, Annexin)

21
Q

What are the main places the vesicles start minerlizing?

A

osteoid
cartiliage
dentin

22
Q

What brings in calcium in the vesicles?

23
Q

What brings in phosphate in the vesicles?

A

Type III Na dependent transporters

24
Q

What do MMPs do inside vesicles?

A

growth factor activation

25
Which molecule facilitates the transport of crystals to the collagen?
annexin transporters bind Ca2+ and collagen and does this
26
KO of which gene would cause no osteoblast differntiation in the endochondral and intramembranous skeleton?
Runx
27
In Runx/Cbfa-1 null mice, osteoblast differentiation | Is arrested in?
endochondral and intramembranous skeleton
28
osterix contains which motif?
zinc finger
29
without which transcription factor, no mineralization is shown?
osterix
30
What reabsorbs bone? What is its precursor?
osteoclasts. | myeloid progenitor
31
What is needed for osteoclasts to form instead of macrophages?
RANKL on osteoblasts
32
What happens to osteoclasts after their work?
apoptosis
33
How do osteoclasts bind to bone?
OPN and integrin avb3
34
How is the mineral dissolved?
By forming a ruffled ring with actin where proton is pimped lower ph. dissolving the mineral in lacuna.
35
Matrix-GLA-protein (MGP) KO characteristic? What else shows this result? How to know if the effects are actually from MGP
mineralization of the arteries OPN -/- bring back KO gene
36
How to stain for phosphate?
Van Kossa stain photochemical reaction in which silver ions react with phosphate (not calcium) in the Presence of acidic materials.
37
How to stain for calcium?
alizarin red
