Abstract
ABSTRACT Sprouty proteins are modulators of the MAPK/ERK pathway. Amongst these, Sprouty2 (SPRY2) has been investigated as a possible factor that takes part in the initial phases of osteogenesis. However, the in vivo context has not yet been investigated and the underlying mechanisms taking place in vitro remain unknown. Therefore, in this study, the impact of Spry2 deficiency was examined in the developing tibias of Spry2 deficient (-/-) mouse. The investigation was performed when the osteogenic zone became clearly visible and when all three basic bone cells types were present. The main markers of osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. RT-PCR showed that the expression of Sost was 3.5 times higher in Spry2-/- than in the wild-type bone, which pointed to a still unknown mechanism of action of SPRY2 on the differentiation of osteocytes. The up-regulation of Sost was independent of Hif-1α expression and could not be related to its positive regulator, Runx2, since none of these factors showed an increased expression in the bone of Spry2-/- mice. Regarding the RANK/RANKL/OPG pathway, the Spry2-/- showed an increased expression of Rank, but no significant change in the expression of Rankl and Opg. Thanks to these results, the impact of Spry2 deletion is shown for the first time in the developing bone as a complex organ including, particularly, an effect on osteoblasts (Runx2) and osteocytes (Sost). This might explain the previously reported decrease in bone formation in postnatal Spry2-/- mice.
期刊介绍:
Organogenesis is a peer-reviewed journal, available in print and online, that publishes significant advances on all aspects of organ development. The journal covers organogenesis in all multi-cellular organisms and also includes research into tissue engineering, artificial organs and organ substitutes.
The overriding criteria for publication in Organogenesis are originality, scientific merit and general interest. The audience of the journal consists primarily of researchers and advanced students of anatomy, developmental biology and tissue engineering.
The emphasis of the journal is on experimental papers (full-length and brief communications), but it will also publish reviews, hypotheses and commentaries. The Editors encourage the submission of addenda, which are essentially auto-commentaries on significant research recently published elsewhere with additional insights, new interpretations or speculations on a relevant topic. If you have interesting data or an original hypothesis about organ development or artificial organs, please send a pre-submission inquiry to the Editor-in-Chief. You will normally receive a reply within days. All manuscripts will be subjected to peer review, and accepted manuscripts will be posted to the electronic site of the journal immediately and will appear in print at the earliest opportunity thereafter.
