Overlapping cDNA clones encoding bovine osteonectin were isolated from a lambda gt11 expression library constructed from bovine bone cell mRNA. The longest clone, lambda On 17 (insert size 2.0 kb) was studied in detail. The clone was shown to encode osteonectin by hybrid select translation experiments and by DNA sequence analysis. Northern analysis of bone cell RNA showed the length of the osteonectin mRNA to be 2.0 kb. Osteonectin message was found in bone but not in soft tissue (liver and brain) preparations consistent with the distribution of the protein in these tissues. On the other hand, osteonectin message was observed in tendon, a tissue in which little or no osteonectin protein is found in vivo. Hybridization of osteonectin cDNA was detected in cells from a number of species including human, rat, mouse and chick. The level of osteonectin mRNA was drastically decreased in chick embryo fibroblasts transformed by Rous sarcoma virus.

Smoc1 and Smoc2, members of the SPARC family of genes, encode signaling molecules downstream of growth factors such as the TGF-β, FGF, and PDGF families. Smoc1 has been implicated in playing a crucial role in microphthalmia with limb anomalies in humans and mice, while Smoc2 deficiency causes dental developmental defects. Although developmental cytokines/growth factors including TGF-β superfamily have been shown to play critical roles in postnatal spermatogenesis, there are no reports analyzing the spatial and temporal expression of Smoc1 and Smoc2 in the postnatal testis.

Objective: The study evaluates three biologically active substances with known bone-inductive potential on previously decontaminated titanium (Ti) discs.
Material And Methods: Rough and smooth Ti surfaces were contaminated with a multispecies biofilm and cleaned with a chitosan brush. Discs were treated either with injectable-platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF+), or enamel matrix derivatives (EMDs) before osteoblast seeding.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is highly prevalent worldwide, with more patients experiencing colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM). This study aimed to identify key genes in CRLM through single-cell sequencing data reanalysis and experimental validation.
Methods: The study analyzed single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.

Background/purpose: Various materials have been used to promote human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) differentiation to produce dentin bridge formation with less-than-optimal results. Polydatin (PD), a naturally present material with osteogenic properties can be a promising material in the pulp regeneration/repair process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of (PD) on the viability and differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells.

Objectives: Super-enhancer-associated genes may be closely related to the progression of osteosarcoma, curcumin exhibits a certain inhibitory effect on tumors such as osteosarcoma. This study aims to investigate the effects of curcumin on osteosarcoma in vitro and in vivo, and to determine whether curcumin can inhibit the progression of osteosarcoma by suppressing the expression of super-enhancer-associated genes LIM and senescent cell antigen-like-containing domain 1 (), secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (), and sterile alpha motif domain containing 4A ()
Methods: Human osteosarcoma cell lines (MG63 cells or U2OS cells) were treated with 5 to 50 μmol/L curcumin for 24, 48, and 72 hours, followed by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay to detect cell viability. Cells were incubated with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or curcumin (2.
