The mechanism of congenital osteopetrosis in microphthalmic (mi) mice has been examined in bone organ cultures. Resorption was measured by the release of previously incorporated 45Ca in fetal long bones and newborn calvaria from mi mice and heterozygous or homozygous normal litter mates. Bones from
Bone resorption, stimulated by injection of parathyroid extract, was measured in vivo in microphthalmic mice as the rate of release of 3H from bone after incorporation of 3H-proline. Bone resorption in these mice, which inherit osteopetrosis, was less than 10% of the in normal litermates.
Osteopetrosis, a skeletal disorder of inadequate bone resorption with an abnormal increase in skeletal mass, results from a variety of independent single gene mutations that affect osteoclast differentiation and/or function. The osteopetrotic defect, op, is one of four spontaneous, nonallelic
Osteopetrosis is a metabolic bone disease characterized by reduced bone resorption of heterogenous cause. The rabbit mutation is lethal and exhibits ultrastructural aberrations in osteoclasts and osteoblasts together with hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia and failure to be cured by bone marrow
Osteoclast abnormalities that characterize osteopetrosis, a disorder of bone resorption, may derive from aberrant signals from the osteoblast or the bone matrix. In the present studies, both synthesis and the bone matrix content of the major bone phosphoprotein component, osteopontin, were found to
