摘要

The goal of the studies in this dissertation was to directly test whether Inhibin A (InhA) regulates bone mass in vivo, using a transgenic model of inducible InhA overexpression. The data presented herein repeatedly demonstrate that InhA is a skeletal anabolic agent, in both the axial and appendicular skeleton, that acts through stimulation of osteoblast activity and differentiation. Interestingly, our current studies show that Inhibin is not only capable of stimulating bone formation in healthy intact mice, but is also effective in a number of pathological situations including prevention of gonadectomy-induced bone loss, acceleration of repair/regeneration in a model of extended bone formation (distraction osteogenesis, DO), and attenuation of disuse osteopenia (during hindlimb suspension, HS). In contrast, InhA was ineffective in its ability to affect the skeleton when overexpression was begun 4 weeks after orchidectomy in adult mice. This finding suggests that the behavior of osteoblasts or an indirect mediator of Inhibin action undergoes an unknown pathophysiological alteration in the face of untreated hypogonadism that reduces or eliminates the ability of the osteoblast to respond to Inhibin signaling.; The in vivo data in intact mice, during the prevention of gonadectomy-induced bone loss, and during DO all suggest that Inhibin stimulates the bone forming activity of mature osteoblasts. In addition, the results of the ex vivo osteoblast cultures from the Intact and Time Course Studies, the proliferating cell nuclear antigen staining of mice exposed to InhA during DO, and the HS study all suggest that InhA stimulates osteoblast recruitment, differentiation, and proliferation, processes that are intimately and inseparably linked. However, none of the assays in any of these studies found that InhA had a significant effect on osteoclastogenesis or bone resorption. Taken together these data lead us to conclude that the anabolic effects of in vivo InhA overexpression on the skeleton are mediated by stimulation of cells in the osteoblastic lineage.; The anabolic effects of Inhibin described here indicate that the Inhibin signaling pathway in the skeleton, once elucidated, may provide new targets for treating bone loss in a variety of conditions. Taken together, we hope that this information aids in understanding, preventing, and treating diseases of bone loss and fragility. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
