dc.description.abstract | Previously, we showed that cortical mineralization is coordinately adjusted to mechanically offset external bone size differences between A/J (narrow) and C57BL/6J (wide) mouse femora to achieve whole bone strength equivalence at adulthood. The identity of the genes and their interactions that are responsible for establishing this homeostatic state (ie, canalization) remain unknown. We hypothesize that these inbred strains, whose interindividual differences in bone structure and material properties mimic that observed among humans, achieve functional homeostasis by differentially adjusting key molecular pathways regulating external bone size and mineralization throughout growth. The cortices of A/J and C57BL/6J male mouse femora were phenotyped and gene expression levels were assessed across growth (ie, ages 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 weeks). A difference in total cross‐sectional area (p < 0.01) and cortical tissue mineral density were apparent between mouse strains by age 2 weeks and maintained at adulthood (p < 0.01). These phenotypic dissimilarities corresponded to gene expression level differences among key regulatory pathways throughout growth. A/J mice had a 1.55‐ to 7.65‐fold greater expression among genes inhibitory to Wnt pathway induction, whereas genes involved in cortical mineralization were largely upregulated 1.50‐ to 3.77‐fold to compensate for their narrow diaphysis. Additionally, both mouse strains showed an upregulation among Wnt pathway antagonists corresponding to the onset of adult ambulation (ie, increased physiological loads). This contrasts with other studies showing an increase in Wnt pathway activation after functionally isolated, experimental in vivo loading regimens. A/J and C57BL/6J long bones provide a model to develop a systems‐based approach to identify individual genes and the gene‐gene interactions that contribute to trait differences between the strains while being involved in the process by which these traits are coordinately adjusted to establish similar levels of mechanical function, thus providing insight into the process of canalization. © 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research. | |
