Abstract

The present study aimed to explore the effects of supplemental boron on osteogenesis of tibia and to investigate the possible relationship between additional boron and the expression of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) in tibia of ostrich chicks. Therefore, forty-eight African ostrich chicks (15 days old) were supplemented with 0 mg/L, 40 mg/L, 80 mg/L, 160 mg/L, 320 mg/L, and 640 mg/L of boron in drinking water for 75 days. The paraffin sections of tibia used to measure histomorphometric parameters by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, Masson's staining, and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to assess the level of BMP-2, osteocalcin (BGP), glucocorticoids (GCs), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) in serum. TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling) technique was performed to detect the cell apoptosis. The results indicated that low dose of supplemental boron (40 mg/L-160 mg/L) in drinking water promotes bone development by increasing the mature ossein. The expression of BMP2 on 45 days was higher than 90 days. Serum level of BMP-2, BGP, and GCs changed significantly in groups with low dosage of...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
