项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The major goal of this proposal is to obtain new information concerning the process of vertebrate skeletal mineralization at the molecular and cellular level. An understanding of mineralization is significant because it is the foundation for mechanical support of the body, for skeletal adaptation under mechanical constraint, as an ion reservoir, and for treating, preventing, and curing a variety of skeletal abnormalities that affect human well being. The proposed study will focus on three model systems, the calcifying tendon from normal turkeys, long bone from exercised mice, and a tissue-engineered model of phalanges and small joints. These systems will be examined under natural conditions and after changes that alter mechanical forces acting on them. A combination of molecular biological, biochemical, immunochemical, and structural techniques will be used to determine the processes by which cells elaborate an organic matrix that mineralizes, as well as the chemical and structural nature of matrix-mineral interaction. The specific hypothesis to be examined is: the structural and functional adaptation of a calcifying tissue to mechanical perturbation is directed by expression of osteopontin (opn), osteocalcin (oc) and bone sialoprotein (bsp), and their interactions with mineral deposition. The Specific Aims that will probe this structure-function relationship are to (1) establish the expression pattern of the selected genes (opn, oc, bsp) as compared to specific matrix proteins, matrix receptors, cytoskeletal proteins and mineral formation in the three model systems; (2) determine the adaptive response at the tissue level in terms of these parameters following perturbation of the tendon model altered by a surgically-induced mechanical change, and of the bone model through exercise; and (3) assess the adaptive response at the organ level by determining the pattern of protein expression and protein-mineral interactions in the phalanx-joint model placed under a muscular load. This multifaceted approach will contribute to an increased understanding of the chemistry, structure, organization, and interactions of relevant molecules and cells that are critically important for the function of mineralizing tissues and their adaptation under mechanical loading.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案的主要目标是获取有关脊椎动物骨骼过程的新信息分子和细胞水平的矿化。对矿化意义重大，因为它是机械的基础对身体的支撑，用于机械约束下的骨骼适应离子水库，用于治疗，预防和治疗各种骨骼影响人类健康的异常。拟议的研究将重点放在三个模型系统，来自普通火鸡的钙化肌腱，长骨锻炼小鼠，以及针对小关节和小关节的组织工程模型。这些系统将在自然条件下进行检查，并在变化之后改变作用于它们的机械力。分子生物学的组合，生化，免疫化学和结构技术将用于确定细胞详细阐述有机基质的过程矿物质以及基质矿物质的化学和结构性质相互作用。要研究的具体假设是：结构和钙化组织对机械扰动的功能适应为通过骨桥蛋白（OPN），骨钙素（OC）和骨骼的表达指导唾液蛋白（BSP）及其与矿物沉积的相互作用。这将探测这种结构功能关系的具体目的是（1）将所选基因的表达模式（OPN，OC，BSP）作为与特定的基质蛋白，基质受体，细胞骨架蛋白相比和三个模型系统中的矿物形成；（2）确定自适应按照这些参数的响应在组织水平下的响应肌腱模型的扰动因手术诱导的机械而改变通过运动来改变和骨骼模型；（3）评估自适应通过确定蛋白质表达的模式在器官水平上的响应和蛋白质矿物质相互作用肌肉负荷。这种多方面的方法将有助于增加了解化学，结构，组织和互动相关的分子和细胞对功能至关重要矿化组织及其在机械载荷下的适应性。
