Unveiling the role of osteoblastic micro RNAs in the skeleton: from biological functions to therapeutic potential

Actual. osteol; 19 (1), 2023
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that play critical roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation. They function by binding to target messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, leading to their degradation or inhibiting their translation i...

Transcriptome profile of highly osteoblastic/cementoblastic periodontal ligament cell clones

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Heterogeneous cell populations of osteo/cementoblastic (O/C) or fibroblastic phenotypes constitute the periodontal dental ligament (PDL). A better understanding of these PDL cell subpopulations is essential to propose regenerative approaches based on a sound biological rationale. Objective Our...

In vitro and in vivo biocompatibility of reoss® in powder and putty configurations

Braz. dent. j; 29 (2), 2018
Article This study evaluated comparatively two configurations (powder and putty) of a composite biomaterial based on PLGA (Poly(lactide-co-glycolide)/nanoescale hydroxyapatite (ReOss®, Intra-Lock International) through microscopic morphology, in vitro cytotoxicity, biocompatibility and in vivo response ...

Up-regulated expression of CD147 gene in malignant bone tumor and the possible induction mechanism during osteoclast formation

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (9), 2018
It is increasingly evident that the microenvironment of bone can influence cancer phenotype in many ways that favor growth in bone. CD147, a transmembrane protein of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily, was identified independently in different species and has many designations across different species. ...

MLO-Y4 osteocytic cell clones express distinct gene expression patterns characteristic of different stages of osteocyte differentiation

Actual. osteol; 13 (3), 2017
Osteocytes are the most abundant bone cell and are formed when osteoblasts become embedded in the bone matrix. Through changes in gene expression and paracrine effects, osteocytes regulate the number of osteoblasts, bone forming cells, and osteoclasts, bone resorbing cells, which are needed to maintain b...

Tridax procumbens flavonoids: a prospective bioactive compound increased osteoblast differentiation and trabecular bone formation

Biol. Res; 50 (), 2017
BACKGROUND: The Tridax procumbens extracts (TPE) are known for their ethno-medicinal properties to increase osteogenic functioning in mesenchymal stem cells. Recently, we found that the T. procumbens flavonoids (TPF) significantly suppressed the RANKL-induced osteoclasts differentiation and bone resorpti...

Tridax procumbens flavonoids promote osteoblast differentiation and bone formation

Biol. Res; 48 (), 2015
BACKGROUND: Tridaxprocumbens flavonoids (TPFs) are well known for their medicinal properties among local natives. Besides traditionally used for dropsy, anemia, arthritis, gout, asthma, ulcer, piles, and urinary problems, it is also used in treating gastric problems, body pain, and rheumatic pains of joi...
