Analysis of the bone anabolic agent by intravital imaging technique.
2018
Teriparatide, recombinant human PTH(1-34), is the only anabolic agent widely used for osteoporosis. This drug is thought to promote bone formation by modulating bone remodeling system, although the detailed mechanism remains unclear. Recently, we developed a novel intravital imaging technique to visualize mature osteoclasts and mature osteoblasts simultaneously. By means of this system, we revealed the effect of teriparatide on three-dimensional distribution and cell-to-cell interactions between these cells. Advances in these imaging studies may lead to further understanding of the intercellular network in bone metabolism.
