| Abstract |
It is now widely recognized that purinergic signaling plays an important role in the regulation of bone remodeling. One receptor subtype, which has been suggested to be involved in this regulation, is the P2Y2 receptor (P2Y2R). In the present study, we investigated the effect of P2Y2R overexpression on bone status and bone cell function using a transgenic rat. Three-month-old female transgenic Sprague Dawley rats overexpressing P2Y2R (P2Y2R-Tg) showed higher bone strength of the femoral neck. Histomorphometry showed increase in resorptive surfaces and reduction in mineralizing surfaces. Both mineral apposition rate and thickness of the endocortical osteoid layer were higher in the P2Y2R-Tg rats. μCT analysis showed reduced trabecular thickness and structural model index in P2Y2R-Tg rats. Femoral length was increased in the P2Y2R-Tg rats compared to Wt rats. In vitro, there was an increased formation of osteoclasts, but no change in total resorption in cultures from P2Y2R-Tg rats. The formation of mineralized nodules was significantly reduced in the osteoblastic cultures from P2Y2R-Tg rats. In conclusion, our study suggests that P2Y2R is involved in regulation of bone turnover, due to the effects on both osteoblasts and osteoclasts and that these effects might be relevant in the regulation of bone growth. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 August 2017.
All research outputs
#7,005,840
of 22,999,744 outputs
Outputs from Purinergic Signalling
#80
of 378 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#111,158
of 317,628 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Purinergic Signalling
#2
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,999,744 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 378 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 317,628 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 8 of them.
