| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is common fibro-osseous lesions and activating point mutation of the alpha subunit of the stimulatory G protein gene (GNAS) causes FD. For FD patients, main medical treatment is surgical resection. Design of new effective ways of pharmacological intervention relies on appropriate FD animal model, however, to date there is no animal model suitable for reproduction of FD lesion. In this study, we produced cell line with GNAS point mutation and transgenic mice expressing GNAS point mutation with osteoblast specific. We examined the feature of these cell line and transgenic mice. Cell line with GNAS point mutation showed the similar gene expression with FD patients and transgenic mice had bone morphological change compared to wild type mice.
These results suggest that cell line with GNAS point mutation and transgenic mice with osteoblast specific GNAS point mutation are a useful FD model.
