タイトル Abnormal bone regeneration induced by FK506 in medaka fin revealed by in vivo imaging.
ジャーナル J Oral Biosci
Abstract OBJECTIVES:Bone tissue in bony fish demonstrates a remarkable ability to regenerate, particularly evident following induction of extensive bone defects, such as fin amputation. This regenerative capacity has been reported to be promoted by the immunosuppressant FK506, yet its precise effects on bone cells during fin regeneration remains insufficiently elucidated. This study aims to investigate the effects of FK506 treatment on bone morphology, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts in the bony fin rays of osterix promoter-DsRed/TRAP promoter-EGFP double transgenic (Tg) medaka.
METHODS:The caudal fin of double Tg medaka was amputated, followed by a 20-day treatment with FK506 (1.0 μg/ml) to observe its effects on fin regeneration. Additionally, the regenerated caudal fin area underwent evaluation using genetic analysis and cell proliferation assays.
RESULTS:FK506 treatment significantly increased osterix-positive osteoblast formation, resulting in both a significantly longer fin length and fewer joints in the bony fin rays formed during fin regeneration. Notably, TRAP-positive osteoclast formation and bone resorption were observed to occur primarily during the latter stages of fin regeneration. Furthermore, while the expression levels of osteoblast-related genes in the regenerated area remained unchanged following FK506 treatment, a heightened cell proliferation was observed at the tip of the fin.
CONCLUSIONS:Our findings suggest that treatment with FK506 promotes bone regeneration by increasing the number of osteoblasts in the amputated area of the fin. However, long-term treatment disrupts regular bone metabolism by inducing abnormal osteoclast formation.
