It has recently been shown that following treatment with colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) the osteopetrotic condition in toothless (tl) rats greatly improves and growth is accelerated. We have examined the effects of such treatment on the microvasculature of the distal femoral chondro-osseous junction, a site where bone growth in length is coordinated with angiogenesis. Vascular casts and ultrastructural analyses of this region showed that, compared to untreated normal rats, untreated mutants showed little bone growth or angiogenesis. When mutants were treated with CSF-1 angiogenesis was markedly accelerated. These data show a remarkable effect of this growth factor on angiogenesis in this osteopetrotic mutation. Whether this effect of CSF-1 on angiogenesis is direct or indirect is not known and indicates that its effects on the normal microvasculature deserve further study.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
