High bone mass phenotype in Cxxc5tm1Kych/Cxxc5tm1Kych mice

skeleton
• accelerated osteoblast-to-osteocyte transition in the femur
• enlarged skull at 11 weeks of age
• enlarged limb bones at 11 weeks of age
• enlarged lower limb bones at 11 weeks of age
• enlarged fibulae at 11 weeks of age
• enlarged tibiae at 11 weeks of age
• enlarged metatarsals at 11 weeks of age
• enlarged scapula at 11 weeks of age
• enlarged ribs at 11 weeks of age
• enlarged spine at 11 weeks of age
• increased DMP-1 (osteocyte marker) levels in femur, indicating an increase in bone mineral deposition and an acceleration of osteoblast-to-osteocyte transition
• average whole-body BMDs are increased by 8.9% at 11 weeks of age
• however, no severe gross developmental anomalies are observed
• average femoral BMDs are increased by 20% at 11 weeks of age
• significantly increased cortical bone thickness of tibiae and fibulae at 11 weeks of age
• increased number and length of osteocyte dendrites in the femur
• number of femoral trabecular bones shows a tendency to increase
• significantly decreased separations between femoral trabecular bones
• bone formation rate by osteoblasts is accelerated in the femur

limbs/digits/tail
• enlarged digits at 11 weeks of age
• enlarged limb bones at 11 weeks of age
• enlarged lower limb bones at 11 weeks of age
• enlarged fibulae at 11 weeks of age
• enlarged tibiae at 11 weeks of age
• enlarged metatarsals at 11 weeks of age

craniofacial
• enlarged skull at 11 weeks of age

cellular
• accelerated osteoblast-to-osteocyte transition in the femur
