skeleton

increased osteoclast cell number ( J:233241 )

• increase in osteoclast numbers

• bone marrow monocytes stimulated with M-CSF and RANKL exhibit increased production of giant multinucleated TRAP+ osteoclast-like cells

• however, numbers of osteoblasts are normal

abnormal trabecular bone morphology ( J:233241 )

• 24 week old mice show reduced trabecular bone mineral density

decreased trabecular bone volume ( J:233241 )

• trabecular bone volume fraction is decreased by about two thirds

decreased bone trabecula number ( J:233241 )

• trabecular number is decreased by about two thirds

increased bone trabecular spacing ( J:233241 )

• trabecular separation is about doubled

osteoporosis ( J:233241 )

• mice develop severe spontaneous osteoporosis

increased bone resorption ( J:233241 )

• increase in circulating levels of C-terminal telopeptides of collagen type I, indicating increased bone resorption

• however, however mineral apposition and bone formation rates are normal

immune system

absent CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cells ( J:233241 )

• mice lack CD4+ T cells

• however, mice exhibit normal macrophage polarization and dendritic cell differentiation

increased osteoclast cell number ( J:233241 )

• increase in osteoclast numbers

• bone marrow monocytes stimulated with M-CSF and RANKL exhibit increased production of giant multinucleated TRAP+ osteoclast-like cells

• however, numbers of osteoblasts are normal

homeostasis/metabolism

increased circulating type I collagen C-terminal telopeptide level ( J:233241 )

• increase in circulating levels of C-terminal telopeptides of collagen type I, indicating increased bone resorption

hematopoietic system

absent CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cells ( J:233241 )

• mice lack CD4+ T cells

• however, mice exhibit normal macrophage polarization and dendritic cell differentiation

increased osteoclast cell number ( J:233241 )

• increase in osteoclast numbers

• bone marrow monocytes stimulated with M-CSF and RANKL exhibit increased production of giant multinucleated TRAP+ osteoclast-like cells

• however, numbers of osteoblasts are normal
