cellular
• increased cell cycling as determined by increased sensitivity to 5-FU
• lag in the ability of bone marrow to replace depleted neutrophil pool, and to a lesser extent, white blood cells following 5-FU treatment
• LK+ S+ cell population is depleted of hematopoietic stem cells in G0 fraction
|
• osteoblast number and activity are decreased in tibia from 12 week old mice
|
hematopoietic system
• defect in multilineage and myeloid colony formation in bone marrow
• hematopoietic stem cells are are unable to retain a population of quiescent G0 cells
|
• slight but significant increase in common lymphoid progenitors in bone marrow
|
• increase in number of multinucleated osteoclasts in primary spongiosa of tibia from 6 week old mice
• however, there is no increase in osteoclast number or surface in secondary spongiosa
|
• on a low calcium diet osteoclast activity in primary spongiosa is increased, in contrast to a decrease in wild-type mice
|
• hematopoietic stem cells are are unable to retain a population of quiescent G0 cells
• LK+ S+ cell population is depleted of hematopoietic stem cells in G0 fraction
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• continuous infusion of parathyroid hormone causes loss of metaphyseal trabecular bone rather than increased metaphyseal trabecular bone formation
|
immune system
• increase in number of multinucleated osteoclasts in primary spongiosa of tibia from 6 week old mice
• however, there is no increase in osteoclast number or surface in secondary spongiosa
|
• on a low calcium diet osteoclast activity in primary spongiosa is increased, in contrast to a decrease in wild-type mice
|
• defect in bone marrow reconstitution potential of hematopoietic stem cells in serial transplantation or following secondary transplantation of wild type donor cells
|
skeleton
• osteoblast number and activity are decreased in tibia from 12 week old mice
|
• increase in number of multinucleated osteoclasts in primary spongiosa of tibia from 6 week old mice
• however, there is no increase in osteoclast number or surface in secondary spongiosa
|
• mild osteopenia
|
• bone volume is decreased 40% in femurs and 25% in vertebrae
(J:158620)
• trabecular bone volume is reduced by 20%
(J:238121)
• cortical bone volume is not affected
(J:238121)
|
• osteoblast number and activity are decreased in tibia from 12 week old mice
|
• decrease in trabecular number, trabecular connectivity density and structure model index
|
• increase in trabecular separation
|
• decrease in trabecular number, trabecular connectivity density and structure model index
|
• on a low calcium diet, mice fail to develop the peritrabecular stromal cell (osteitis fibrosis) and woven bone response expected in this induced model of sustained secondary hyperpararthyroidism
|
• on a low calcium diet osteoclast activity in primary spongiosa is increased, in contrast to a decrease in wild-type mice
|
• decrease in mineral apposition rate and a 60% decrease in bone formation rate
• substantial reduction of mineralized trabecular in the metaphyseal trabecular regions
|
• decrease in mineral apposition rate and a 60% decrease in bone formation rate
• increased percentage of cells undergoing apoptosis
|
• on a low calcium diet, some mice exhibit tibial fractures
