growth/size/body

skeleton
• serum crosslaps, representing C-telopeptide fragments of type-I collagen being released from the bone matrix through osteoclasts, are increased, indicating increased osteoclast activity
• osteoclasts hypersecrete newly synthesized lysosomal hydrolases ex vivo, however, they do not exhibit any functional abnormalities
• all bones of one week old mutants are smaller, however no defects of skeletal patterning are seen
• lysosomal storage vacuoles are seen in the outer fibrous layer of the periosteum, in bone-forming osteoblasts, and in terminally differentiated osteocytes
• increase in osteoclastogenesis, with the number of osteoclasts per bone perimeter increased more than 4-fold at 4 and 12 weeks of age
• lumbar spine length is reduced in 4 and 12 week old mutants
• results from reduced bone formation and increased bone resorption
• trabecular bone volume is reduced, however no enrichment of non-mineralized osteoid
• increase of cortical porosity
• accumulation of storage material in lysosomes of osteoblasts
• osteoblast number is similar to wild-type at 4 weeks of age and slightly reduced at 12 weeks of age
• accumulation of storage material in lysosomes of osteocytes
• low bone mass at 4 and 12 weeks of age
• lucent storage vacuoles in the chondrocytes of the prehypertrophic growth plates
• bone formation rate is decreased in 4 and 12 week old mutants
• treatment with alendronate, a bisphosphonate, increases bone mass, trabecular bone volume, normalizes biomechanical stability of vertebral bodies, and reduces the rate of bone resorption
• differentiation of osteoblasts is impaired which is associated with increased interleukin-6 production
• widening of growth plates in non-decalcified spine and tibia
• results from increased osteoclastogenesis

cellular
