Illustrations LegendsBIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING—PAGE 11Top Left Triad: Stem Cell technology, the laboratory of George Muschler, M.D. Left Image: In Situ hybridizationexpression of Collagen Type 1 on day 6 Human CTPs in vitro. Control hybridized with sense to bothCbfa 1 and BMP6. Center Image: Proliferation of Human CTPs and Expression of Alkaline Phosphatase onLoaded Coralline HA disks, day 9 culture. Graphic Image on right: Schematic diagram of the osteoblasticstem cell system. This conceptual drawing illustrates the primary candidate populations of stem cells and transitcells thought to be associated with bone formation and remodeling: Vascular pericytes (green), Westen-Baintoncells (orange), type I or pre-osteoblasts (pink), secretory osteoblasts (maroon), osteocytes (brown), liningcells (purple), and adipocytes (yellow). Vascular pericytes may give rise to the Westen-Bainton cells. Pericytesand Westen-Bainton cells may contribute to the formation of pre-osteoblasts and also adipocytes. New osteoblastare added in the region immediately behind the advancing front of osteoclastic resorption. Secretory osteoblastsproduce new bone matrix until they become quiescent on the surface of bone as a lining cells (purple)or become embedded in the matrix as osteocytes (brown), or die via apoptosis. Osteoclast formation is also illustrated.A fraction of the monocytes population in systemic circulation (blue) will become resident in thebone marrow space. Osteoclasts are formed by fusion of monocytes resident in bone marrow to form multinucleatedfunctional units. The nuclei in active osteoclasts continue to be turned over as a result of nuclear lossand ongoing fusion events with new marrow derived monocytes. The black arrow indicates the direction of boneresorption by the osteoclastic front, followed by bone formation.Double panel, top right: Normal human femur contrasted with Human femur degenerated by osteoporosis(Top right twin panels).

Strong.MOLECULAR CARDIOLOGY — PAGE 118Top image: Molecular surface of PINCH LIM domain involved in mediating cell adhesion. The regions coloredin blue are involved in protein-protein recognition in focal adhesion assembly. From the laboratory of Jun Qin,Ph.D.Middle image on right: Agonist binding pocket of the α1-Adrenergic Receptor. A molecular model of theα1A-AR as shown from the extracellular surface. Alpha-carbon coordinates were taken from the bacteriorhodopsinmodel and adjusted based upon the results of several mutagenesis studies from the laboratory of DiannePerez, Ph.D. Residues that been identified to be involved in agonist binding are shown in space-filled representationand are listed under its respective transmembrane domain (TM) in order from the extracellular surface.Amino acid residues are numbered according to the rat α1A-AR sequence.Lower image: Vitamin K-dependent (VKD) proteins are modified by the VKD- or gamma-carboxylase, an integralmembrane enzyme that resides in the endoplasmic reticulum. Carboxylation occurs during the secretion ofVKD proteins in a process that is poorly understood. The VKD proteins have a sequence (the pink rectangle)that the carboxylase binds with high affinity, which selectively targets VKD proteins for carboxylation. Thecarboxylase uses the oxygenation of vitamin K hydroquinone (KH 2, illustrated by the orange napthoquinone) tovitamin K epoxide (KO) to convert glutamic acid residues in VKD proteins to carboxylated glutamic acids (indicatedby white Y’s). Clusters of glutamic acids are modified (3 in this example) to render the VKD proteinsactive in functions that include hemostasis, growth control, bone metabolism and signal transduction. Normally,fully carboxylated VKD proteins are generated; however, conditions that limit the supply of KH 2block carboxylationand result in the secretion of uncarboxylated- and partially-carboxylated forms of inactive VKD proteins.Warfarin limits KH 2by inhibiting the reductase that regenerates KH 2from KO and is a commonly-used anticoagulant.From the laboratory of Kathy Berkner, Ph.D.NEUROSCIENCES — PAGE 133Lower left and right, uppermost central panel: Cultured hippocampal neurons immunofluorescently stainedfor syntaxin (red) and neurofilament (green).

From the laboratory of JunQin, Ph.D.Lower image: A biological “Trojan Horse” utilizing receptor-mediated Cbl uptake as a means of targeting NO-Cbl to neoplasms. Nitrosylcobalamin (NO-Cbl) is delivered to cells bound to plasma transcobalamin II (TC II).TC II, a non-glycosylated plasma protein (43-kD), binds to specific cell surface receptors (TC II-R) that recognizethe TC II-Cbl complex (holo-TC II) preferentially to apoTC II (TC II alone). The TC II-R:TC II:NO-Cbl complexis internalized via endocytosis and TC II-NO-Cbl is delivered to lysosomes where NO is released fromCbl, and TC II is subsequently degraded. The chemotherapeutic effectiveness of NO-Cbl is based on the cytotoxicproperties of nitric oxide (NO). NO is oxidized from NO-Cbl in lysosomes at acidic pH. The NO free radicalinduces cytotoxicity through increased oxidative stress, inhibition of cellular metabolism, and direct DNAdamage, leading to apoptosis and/or necrosis.
