Disease relevance of Sternum

 

High impact information on Sternum

  • Here we describe the isolation and identification of a major cartilage glycoprotein which is co-extracted along with typical hyaline cartilage components such as collagen types II and IX from chicken embryo sternum [6].
  • The murine paired box-containing gene Pax1 is required for normal development of the vertebral column, the sternum, and the scapula [7].
  • Primary cell cultures from fetal bovine sternum were developed in Coon's modified Ham's F-12 medium containing 10% Nu-Serum, 1% Ultroser-G, and 200 mg of galactose per liter [8].
  • Connexin 40, a target of transcription factor Tbx5, patterns wrist, digits, and sternum [9].
  • Our study strongly suggests that Cx40 deficiency accounts for many skeletal malformations in HOS and that Tbx5 regulation of Cx40 plays a critical role in the exquisite developmental patterning of the forelimbs and sternum [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Sternum

 

Biological context of Sternum

 

Anatomical context of Sternum

  • These findings show that Fgfr1-mediated developmental pathways exhibit differing signalling dynamics, whereby development of the cranial sutures and sternum follows a morphogen mode, whereas development of the vertebral column and the hind limbs has threshold signalling properties [20].
  • Proliferating chondrocytes, located in four distinct areas of the developing sternum, all contained high levels of c-myc transcripts, whereas postmitotic chondrocytes (such as hypertrophic chondrocytes) contained undetectable amounts [21].
  • Affinity-purified antibodies detect matrilin-3 expression in a variety of mouse cartilaginous tissues, such as sternum, articular, and epiphyseal cartilage, and in the cartilage anlage of developing bones [22].
  • We found that proliferating immature cartilage from chick embryo tibia and sternum contained significant amounts of syndecan-3 mRNA, whereas mature hypertrophic cartilage contained markedly lower transcript levels [23].
  • The myogenic basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor myogenin plays an essential role in the differentiation of skeletal muscle and, secondarily, in rib and sternum formation during mouse development [24].
 

Associations of Sternum with chemical compounds

  • The 115-kDa chain of sternum PG-Lt consists of a core 68-kDa polypeptide to which the chondroitin sulfate chains are attached [25].
  • The mRNA for type II collagen was purified from embryonic chick sternum or from purified sternal chondrocytes with guanidine thiocyanate as the extractant [26].
  • Gallium-67 tumor avidity was scored (0-6) relative to accumulation in the sternum and the liver [27].
  • Vitamin D3 decreased uptake by dog bone (B) as measured in rib and sternum, increasing L/B from 1.10 +/- 0.23 to 2.30 +/- 0.52 (p = 0.06) X (L) was positively, (p less than 0.005) and uptake by sternum was negatively (p less than 0.05) correlated with serum [Ca] and [P], respectively [28].
  • Incorporation of [35S]]sulphate, [3H]glucose and [3H]serine into glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans of embryonic-chicken sternum was measured in vitro in incubation medium containing 4-methylumbelliferyl beta-D-xyloside or p-nitrophenyl beta-D-xyloside at low concentrations, and in the absence of inhibitors of protein synthesis [29].
 

Gene context of Sternum

  • Misexpression of Hoxd-12 in other lateral plate derivatives (sternum, pelvis) likewise phenocopies several luxoid/luxate class mouse mutants that all share ectopic Shh signalling [30].
  • The defects in sternum development in Bmp6 null mice are likely to be associated with a transient early expression of Bmp6 in the sternal bands, prior to ossification [31].
  • In the ribs, Bmp4 and Bmp7 seem to act in the same pathway to assure proper guidance of mesenchymal condensations of the ribs extending toward the sternum [32].
  • The results of these studies suggest a cell autonomous role for En-1 in generation and/or survival of mid-hindbrain precursor cells and also a non-cell autonomous role in signalling normal development of the limbs and possibly sternum [33].
  • In situ hybridization with probes specific for the AD2, AD1, and C repeats shows that these splice variants are expressed at sites of active tissue modeling and fibronectin expression in the developing avian feather bud and sternum [34].
