    摘要: The loss of the SOST gene product sclerostin leads to sclerosteosis characterized by high bone mass (HBM). In this report, we found that sclerostin could antagonize canonical Wnt signaling in human embryonic kidney A293 cells and mouse osteoblastic MC3T3 cells. This sclerostin-mediated antagonism could be reversed by over-expression of Wnt coreceptor LRP5. In addition, we found that sclerostin bound to LRP5 as well as LRP6 and identified the first two YWTD-EGF repeat domains of LRP5 as being responsible for the binding. Although these two repeat domains are required for transducing canonical Wnt signals, canonical Wnt did not appear to compete with sclerostin for binding to LRP5. Examination of the expression of sclerostin and Wnt7b, an autocrine canonical Wnt, during primary calvarial osteoblast differentiation revealed that sclerostin is expressed at the late stages of osteoblast differentiation coinciding with the expression of osteogenic marker osteocalcin and trailing after the expression of Wnt7b. Given the plethora of evidence indicating that canonical Wnt signaling stimulates osteogenesis, we believe that the HBM phenotype associated with the loss of sclerostin may at least in part be attributed to an increase in canonical Wnt signaling resulting from the reduction in sclerostin-mediated Wnt antagonism.

    摘要: Provided is an electronic fountain candle, comprising a transparent or semitransparent outer cylinder (9), a battery compartment, a flow-guiding cover (10), an LED/water pump assembly (4), and a control board (3). The outer cylinder (9) is a hollow tube body. The battery compartment is an inverted cup-shaped body, the opening of the cup facing down, the bottom of the cup being on the top, and the cup-shaped body being sleeved inside the outer cylinder (9). A water storage chamber is located at the interior wall of the outer cylinder (9), above the bottom of the battery compartment cup. The LED/water pump assembly (4) is mounted inside the water storage chamber, and comprises: being equipped with an LED-PCB board (42) for an LED, as well as a water pump (43) and a water drainage pipe (41). The LED-PCB board (42) is waterproofed, and the water outlet of the water pump (43) is connected to the water drainage pipe (41). The flow-guiding cover (10) is provided with a flow-guiding hole, and the water drainage pipe (41) is in communication with the flow-guiding hole. The peripheral edge of the flow-guiding cover (10) is lower than the upper end face of the outer cylinder (9), and there is a gap, used for draining water, between the flow-guiding cover (10) and the inner wall of the outer cylinder (9). The control board (3) is mounted inside the battery compartment, and the LED/water pump assembly (4) is electrically connected to the control board (3). The LED of the electronic fountain candle simulates the weak light of a conventional lamp, while the circulation of water simulates the sound of flowing water in a natural environment, creating a natural and tranquil ambiance.
