目的:探讨G蛋白偶联受体激酶结合蛋白1(GIT1)在骨折愈合过程中的作用。方法:应用GIT1基因敲除小鼠和同窝野生型小鼠制作股骨骨折模型,每组30只。造模成功后7、14、21 d,应用X线、micro-CT、PECAM1免疫荧光染色等方法分析骨痂体积及新生血管情况。结果:与野生型小鼠相比,GIT1基因敲除小鼠骨折愈合延迟,骨痂内新生血管的体积和数量减少。结论:GIT1基因缺失导致骨痂区新生血管减少,从而延迟骨折愈合。
Objective:To investigate the role of G protein coupled receptor kinase 2(GRK2) interacting protein-1(GIT1) in bone fracture healing. Methods:Femur fractures in GIT1 knockout(GIT1KO) mice(n=30) and WT mice(n=30) were performed. X-ray,micro-computed tomography imaging(micro-CT),immunofluorescence of PECAM1 were performed 7,14 and 21 days after fracture.Results:Fracture healing was delayed and blood vessel volume as well as number were decreased in GIT1 KO mice compared to those in WT controls. Conclusion:GIT1 is an important signaling participant in fracture healing,with gene ablationleading to reduced callus vascularity and reduced osteoclast number in the healing callus.
