ch 48 Flashcards
What are the mechanisms of new bone formation
Osteogenesis, osteoinduction, osteoconduction, osteopromotion
What are the most accessible sources of adult stem cells?
Cambium layer of periosteum, bone marrow, and fat
What lines can a mesenchymal stem cell form?
Osteoblastic, chondroblastic, adipocytic, tenocytic, or myoblastic lineages
How do growth factors affect target cells?
Via autocrine, paracrine, or endocrine mechanisms
Define autocrine influences
Influences on cells of similar or identical phenotype in the local environment
Define paracrine influences
Influences on adjacent cells of different phenotype
Define endocrine influence
Influences on different and remote populations of cells
What growth factors are important for osteogenesis?
TGF-β, BMP (-2, -4, -7), FGF-1 and -2, IGF, PDGF
Where is TGF-β especially common?
Bone, platelets, cartilage
When is TGF-𝛽 present?
Thought to play a role throughout entire healing process
Role of BMP?
Can cause ectopic new bone formation
what are experimental applications of BMP
segmental bone defects, nonunions, and spinal fusion
what is needed for BMP to be effective
carrier, otherwise BMP is soluble and rapidly cleared from local enviornment
what are the most efficacious carriers for bmp
absorbable collagen sponge, some types of calcium phosphate
what is the role of fibroblast growth factor
embryologic development, angiogenesis, and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells
what FGF are most abdundant
FGF 1 and FGF2 from mesenchymal cells and osteoblastic lineage of cells
when is FGF active during fracture repair
early stages of healing and angiogenesis
where is insulin like growth factor released
target cells in the physis of bones
what triggers the release of IGF
GHRH produced in hypothalamus → production of GH in anterior pituitary → travels to physis of bones → stimulates target cells to release IGF
what role does IGF play
facilitates bone and limb lengthening and encourages local cell proliferation
how can gene therapy be introduced
electric pulsation or ultrasonic waves used to translocate into nucleus
viral vectors (adenovirus)
what is an osteogenic graft
graft that directly supplies and supports bone forming cells
