Cells of Bone Tissue

Bone contains both organic and inorganic material.


The organic matter is mainly protein. The principal
proteins of bone are listed in Table 489;
type I
collagen is the major protein, comprising 9095%
of the organic material.
Type V collagen is also present in small amounts,
as are a number of noncollagen proteins, some of
which are relatively specific to bone.

The inorganic or mineral component is mainly crystalline


hydroxyapatiteCa10(PO4)6(OH)2along with sodium,
magnesium, carbonate, and fluoride; approximately 99% of the
bodys calcium is contained in bone. Hydroxyapatite confers on
bone the strength and resilience required by its physiologic
roles.

Bone is a dynamic structure that undergoes


continuing cycles of remodeling, consisting of
resorption followed by deposition of new bone tissue.
This remodeling permits bone to adapt to both
physical (eg, increases in weight-bearing) and
hormonal signals.

Chemical Composition of Bone

Organic components of bone


include cells (osteoblasts,
osteocytes, and osteoclasts)
and osteoid (ground substance
and collagen fibers), which
contribute to the flexibility and
tensile strength of bone.

Bone Deposition and


Resorption
Ca2+ and phosphate concentrations are affected by:
Bone formation and resorption.
Intestinal absorption of Ca2+ and P043-.
Urinary excretion.
Osteoblasts:
Secrete an organic matrix of collagen proteins.
Deposit hydroxyapatite crystals.
Osteoclasts:
Secrete enzymes to dissolve hydroxyapatite.
Formation and resorption of bone occur constantly at rates
determined by osteoblasts and osteoclasts.

Bone Deposition and Resorption


(continued)

Bone resorption occurs when an osteoclast attaches to the


bone matrix and forms ruffled membrane.
Osteoclast secretes products that dissolve both Ca2+ and P043- ;
and digest the matrix.
Transport of H+ by H+ ATPase pump in ruffled border.
Cl- channel allows Cl- to flow to H+ to maintain electrical neutrality.

Protein matrix digested by cathepsin K.


Cytoplasm prevented from becoming to basic by a Cl-/HC03- pump.

Figure 4812. Schematic illustration of some aspects of the


role of the osteoclast in bone resorption. Lysosomal enzymes
and hydrogen ions are released into the confined
microenvironment created by the attachment between bone
matrix and the peripheral clear zone of the osteoclast. The
acidification of this confined space facilitates the dissolution of
calcium phosphate from bone and is the optimal pH for the
activity of lysosomal hydrolases. Bone matrix is thus removed,
and the products of bone resorption are taken up into the
cytoplasm of the osteoclast, probably digested further, and
transferred into capillaries. The chemical equation shown in the
figure refers to the action of carbonic anhydrase II, described in
the text. (Reproduced, with permission, from Junqueira LC,

Increases activity of both osteoblasts and

Increases osteocytic osteolysis (remodeling)
Increases mineralization through increased intestinal
calcium absorption
Feedback action of (1,25-(OH)2-D) represses gene
for PTH synthesis

Parathyroid Hormone

Accelerates removal of calcium from bone to increase Ca


levels in blood
PTH receptors present on both osteoblasts and osteoclasts
Osteoblasts respond to PTH by

Change of shape and cytoskeletal arrangement


Inhibition of collagen synthesis
Stimulation of IL-6, macrophage colony-stimulating factor secretion

Chronic stimulation of the PTH causes hypercalcemia and


leads to resorptive effects of PTH on bone

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)


Single

most important hormone in the control of


blood [Ca2+].

Stimulated by decreased blood [Ca2+].

Stimulates

osteoclasts to reabsorb bone.


Stimulates kidneys to reabsorb Ca2+ from glomerular
filtrate, and inhibit reabsorption of P043-.
Promotes formation of 1,25 vitamin D3.
Many cancers secrete PTH-related protein that
interacts with PTH receptors.

Produce hypercalcemia.

Calcitonin
C

cells of thyroid gland secrete calcitonin


Straight chain peptide - 32 aa
Synthesized from a large preprohormone
Rise in plasma calcium is major stimulus of
calcitonin secretion
Plasma concentration is 10-20 pg/ml and half
life is 5 min

Actions of Calcitonin
Osteoclasts

are target cells for calcitonin


Major effect of calcitonin is rapid fall of plasma
calcium concentration caused by inhibition of
bone resorption
Magnitude of decrease is proportional to the
baseline rate of bone turnover

Calcitonin
Works with PTH and 1,25 vitamin D3 to
regulate blood [Ca2+].
Stimulated by increased plasma [Ca2+].
Inhibits the activity of osteoclasts.
Stimulates urinary excretion of Ca2+ and P043by inhibiting reabsorption.
Physiological significance in adults is
questionable.

1,25 Vitamin D3
Pre-vitamin D3 is synthesized in the skin when
exposed to mid-ultraviolet waves.
Pre-vitamin D3 isomerized to vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol).

Cholecalciferol is hydroxylated in liver to form 25


hydroxycholecalciferol.
In proximal convoluted tubule is hydroxylated to
1,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol (active vitamin D 3).
Stimulated by PTH.

(continued)

Directly stimulates intestinal absorption of Ca 2+ and

Stimulates reabsorption of Ca2+ and P043- by the
kidney.
Simultaneously raising Ca2+ and P043- results in increased
tendency of these 2 ions to precipitate as hydroxyapatite
crystals.

Calcium Homeostasis
Bone is major storage site for calcium
The level of calcium in the blood depends upon
movement of calcium into or out of bone.
Calcium enters bone when osteoblasts create new
bone; calcium leaves bone when osteoclasts break
down bone
Two hormones control blood calcium levelsparathyroid hormone and calcitonin.
