L10 Flashcards
A. Bone Structure and Composition
Cortical (compact) bone
Trabecular (cancellous or spongy) bone
Periosteum
Endosteum
Neurovascular supply
Marrow space
The Haversion System (Secondary Osteon):
Main Functional Unit of Cortical Bone
The wall: concentric lamellae
The central canal: Haversian canal, nerve and blood supply
Main cell component: Osteocytes
Separation between osteons: Interstitial lamellae
Connection between osteons: Volkmann’s canals
Osteons, Lamellae and Lacunae/Canaliculi
Primary osteon
Secondary osteon
Concentric lamellae Circumferential lamellae Interstitial lamellae
Lacunae
Canaliculi
Bone Matrix
Inorganic matrix: mainly in the form of hydroxyapatite
Organic matrix: mainly collagen I
Bone Cells 2 lineages
Mesenchymal lineage
Hematopoietic lineage
- Mesenchyme Stem Cells (MSC)
Also referred as colony-forming fibroblast (CFU-F), or marrow stromal cells
Potential to differentiate into multiple cell types
Morphological features: small cell body, few cell processes
Confirmation of MSC Identity
Ability of osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation
Our findings are consistent with reports from many others and support that
local delivery of MSCs can enhance bone regeneration.
MSCs info
- Derived from pigs
- Have been used in human surgeries to stop bleeding
- Recently have been used in a few in-vivo animal studies and showed promising results in carrying cells for bone regeneration
- Commercially available and sterile
- Easy to fit into a mandibular distraction site and fast biodegradable
- Our preliminary experiments have shown good cell integration and infiltration with this material and all procedures can be handled in strictly sterile environment
A Commonly Held Mechanism:
Empower local bone regeneration by providing a large source of MSCs, hence boosting or bypassing the slow MSC recruitment process
- Osteoblasts: Bone-forming Cells
Basic characteristics:
- Located on bone surface - Generally cuboidal shape - Mononucleated - HE staining: basophilic cytoplasm (large quantity of rough endoplasmic reticulum)
Major Functions of Osteoblasts
1.Synhesize and secret extracellular matrix
Collagen related proteins:
Collagen type I, III, V
Glycoproteins:
Alkaline phosphatase
Osteonectin
Glycoaminoglycan-containing proteins:
Aggrecan Versican Decorin Biglycan Hyaluran
(MEPE):
Matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein
RGD-containing glycoproteins:
Thrombospondins
Fibronectin,
Vitronectin
Fibrillin 1 and 2
Small insulin-binding N-linked glycoproteins (SIBLING):
Osteopontin
Bone sialoproteins
gamma-Carboxy glutamic acid-containing proteins:
Matrix Gla protein
Osteocalcin
- Regulate matrix mineralization
Inside the vesicles, calcium and phosphorous can reach high concentrations without being saturated.
TNAP:
Tissue non-specific alkaline
phosphatase
NPP1:
Nucleotide pyrophosphatase
phosphodiesterase
NTP:
Nucleoside triphosphates
ANK:
Ankylosis protein
