Int J Biochem Cell Biol 35:1301-5. 2003..Osteoblasts indirectly control levels of bone resorption. Osteoblasts play a key role in the pathophysiology of osteoporosis and the resulting fractures, which constitute a major public health burden in developed countries...
Protease-activated receptors: a means of converting extracellular proteolysis into intracellular signalsE J Mackie
School of Veterinary Science, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia
IUBMB Life 53:277-81. 2002....
Protease-activated receptors in the musculoskeletal systemE J Mackie
School of Veterinary Science, University of Melbourne, Parkville, VIC 3010, Australia
Int J Biochem Cell Biol 40:1169-84. 2008..Expression patterns of PARs, the circumstances in which PAR activators are likely to be present, functional responses of PAR activation, and responses to thrombin for which receptors have not yet been identified are considered...
Dissection of protease-activated receptor-1-dependent and -independent responses to thrombin in skeletal myoblastsM R de Niese
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, 3800, Australia
Exp Cell Res 274:149-56. 2002....
Hypertrophy and physiological death of equine chondrocytes in vitroY A Ahmed
School of Veterinary Science, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria 3010, Australia
Equine Vet J 39:546-52. 2007..Endochondral ossification involves chondrocyte proliferation, hypertrophy and death. Until recently no culture system was available to study these processes in equine chondrocytes...
Protease-activated receptor-2 mediates proliferative responses in skeletal myoblastsC Chinni
School of Veterinary Science, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria 3010, Australia
J Cell Sci 113:4427-33. 2000..The PAR-2-activating peptide did, however, stimulate proliferation of serum-deprived myoblasts. These results demonstrate that skeletal muscle cells express PAR-2, activation of which leads to stimulation of myoblast proliferation...
The gingipains from Porphyromonas gingivalis do not directly induce osteoclast differentiation in primary mouse bone marrow culturesR E Fitzpatrick
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, Australia
J Periodontal Res 44:565-7. 2009..The effects of the gingipains from P. gingivalis on osteoclast differentiation were investigated here to determine whether the enzymes directly contribute to osteoclastogenesis and thus to bone resorption...
Proteinase-activated receptor-2 is required for normal osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation during skeletal growth and repairS R Georgy
School of Veterinary Science, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria 3010, Australia
Bone 50:704-12. 2012..These results suggest that PAR(2) activation contributes to determination of cells of both osteoblast and osteoclast lineages within bone marrow, and thereby participates in the regulation of skeletal growth and bone repair...
Identification of light and dark hypertrophic chondrocytes in mouse and rat chondrocyte pellet culturesK S Chen
School of Veterinary Science, University of Melbourne, Corner of Flemington Road and Park Drive, Parkville, Victoria 3010, Australia
Tissue Cell 42:121-8. 2010..This rodent culture system allows the differentiation of light and dark chondrocytes under various conditions in vitro and will be useful for future studies on tissue engineering and mechanisms of chondrocyte hypertrophy...
Regulation of tenascin-C expression in bone cells by transforming growth factor-betaE J Mackie
School of Veterinary Science, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia
Bone 22:301-7. 1998..These results indicate that TGF-beta stimulates osteoblastic tenascin-C expression and suggest that tenascin-C may act as a mediator of TGF-beta-induced new bone formation...
Studies on the receptors mediating responses of osteoblasts to thrombinS J Song
School of Veterinary Science, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Vic. 3010, Australia
Int J Biochem Cell Biol 37:206-13. 2005..The results demonstrate that thrombin stimulates proliferation and inhibits differentiation of osteoblasts through activation of PAR-1. No other thrombin receptor appears to be involved in these effects...

School of Veterinary Science, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria 3010, Australia
Osteoarthritis Cartilage 15:575-86. 2007..The aims of the current study were to document the ultrastructural appearance of dying hypertrophic chondrocytes, and to establish a culture system in which the mechanism of their death can be examined...

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, Australia
Dev Dyn 218:465-71. 2000..The pattern of PAR-2 expression observed during embryonic development and the association of expression with differentiation in certain tissues suggest compelling physiological roles for this novel receptor...
