Abstract

The intracellular signal transduction controlling the proliferation of osteoblastic cells on a thin film of poorly crystalline calcium phosphate apatite crystals (PCA) was studied in vitro. The PCA thin film was prepared on polystyrene culture dishes or cover glasses using phosphate-buffered calcium ion solution, which was made oversaturated by heating an undersaturated solution prepared at low temperature. The PCA thin film was used for cell culture without additional surface treatment. Several differences were found between the cells plated on a cell culture dish and the cells cultured on the PCA surface. Entry into S-phase of the cell cycle was markedly delayed and there was a low proliferation rate of osteoblast. On the PCA thin film, the cells spread in a more slender shape. Also, the formation of focal adhesions and stress fibers, examined using immunocytochemical staining, was strikingly weaker in the cells on PCA. The activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) was low as well. Expression of cyclins D1 and E was also lower. The Ras-Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-MAP kinase signaling pathway was weakly activated by stimulation with serum. These results demonstrate that the low cell proliferation on the PCA sur...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Calcium & Bioenergetics

Bioenergetic processes, including cellular respiration and photosynthesis, concern the transformation of energy by cells. Here is the latest research on the role of calcium in bioenergetics.

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
