Abstract

Dosed distraction of bone regenerate is paralleled by distraction of soft tissues (skin, muscles, nerves, etc.), which is particularly obvious during liquidation of medium-sized and extensive mandibular defects. Such distraction of soft tissues leads to their regeneration and growth. However regeneration of soft tissues is paralleled by dystrophic processes, which are never observed in bone regenerate. Dosed distraction can be used in repair of combined bone and soft tissue defects and deformations of the face of different etiology.

A new syndrome of symphalangism, multiple frenula, postaxial polydactyly, dysplastic ears, dental anomalies, and exclusion of NOG and GDF5.

A Thai girl with a unique combination of limb and craniofacial anomalies is reported. Manifestations include blepharoptosis; prominent nose; hypodontia; multiple, hyperplastic frenula; and dysplastic ears. Limb anomalies include short stature, postaxial polydactyly of both hands and the left foot, proximal and distal symphalangism of fingers, and congenital absence of the distal phalanges of toes 2-5. Mutation analyses of NOG and GDF5, the genes responsible for symphalangism-related syndromes, were negative.

Mitochondrial localization of Smad5 in a human chondrogenic cell line.

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily and regulate the formation of cartilage and bone tissues as well as other key events during development. TGF-beta superfamily signaling is mediated intracellularly by Smad proteins, some of which can translocate into the cell nucleus and influence gene expression. Although much progress has been made in understanding how TGF-beta superfamily signaling regulates expression of target genes, little formal proof has been presented regarding the intracellular distribution of the Smad proteins before their entry into the nucleus. In the literature, non-nuclear Smad proteins are generally referred to as cytoplasmic. Using confocal microscopy, we here show for the first time that immunofluorescent labeling of Smad5, one of the Smad proteins associated with BMP signaling, colocalizes with the mitochondrion-specific probe MitoTracker, demonstrating a mitochondrial distribution of Smad5 in non-stimulated chondroprogenitor cells.
