title: [Proliferation, differentiation, and gene expression profile of osteoblast of patient with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda with progressive arthropathy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the proliferation, differentiation, and gene expression profile of the osteoblasts (OBs) of patient with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda with progressive arthropathy (SEDT-PA).
  
  
  METHODS
  OBs from the head of femur of a SEDT-PA patient resected during operation were cultured. ELISA was used to examine the bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), osteocalcin (OC), and osteoprotegrin (OPC) in the lysate of OBs. The proliferation and survival of the OBs were evaluated with MTT method and (3)H-TDR incorporation. Flow cytometry was used to observe the cell cycle. Northern blotting was used to evaluate the mRNA expression of WISP3, a member of the CCN family, mRNA in the OBs. Gene differential expression microarray was used to determine the cDNA expression. Osteoblasts from the head of femur of a patient about the same age with fracture of femur neck was used as control.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The cultured OBs from the SEDT-PA patient showed a higher survival capacity (0.86 +/- 0.04 vs 0.71 +/- 0.10) and more (3)H-TDR incorporation (1363 +/- 350 vs 867 +/- 128). The expressions of OC and OPG were down-regulated to the 1/4.3 and 1/4.69 of the control respectively. There was no significant difference in the expression of BAP. WISP3 was very lowly expressed in the OBs of the SEDT-PA patient. In comparison with the normal control, there were up-regulation of 22 genes, including those coding chemotactic factors and inflammatory factors, and down-regulation of 16 genes in the OBs of the SEDT-PA patient with a synthetic effect of more rapid proliferation of OBs and reduction of synthesis of extracellular matrix, resulting in osteopenia.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Not significantly different between SEDT-PA patient and normal person, the WISP3 expression may not be a direct factor of SEDT-PA.
