Bones & Hormones G 2 S M Factors that trigger proliferation: GH, IGF-1, leptin, afgf, TGF β Factors that inhibit: estradiol, cortisol Pro-apoptotic factors: estradiol G 1 G 0 Apoptosis Factors that trigger differentiation: GH, IGF-1, bfgf, BMPs, leptin, PTH, T 3, cortisol Anti-apoptotic factors: PTH, cortisol Fig. 10. Hormonal control of bone growth. The proliferative component of cell growth cycle [157] includes DNA replication (S phase), preparation for mitosis (G 2 phase) and mitosis (M phase). Initiation factors mediate transition from the quiescent G 0 state to S phase. Progression factors mediate terminal differentiation and transition from M phase to the hypertrophic G 1 phase of the cell cycle. Cells can also enter the quiescent G 0 phase and, under the influence of pro-apoptotic factors, undergo cell death (reproduced from Borer, [158] with permission. Copyright John Wiley and Sons Limited). afgf = acidic fibroblast growth factor; bfgf = basic fibroblast growth factor; BMPs = bone morphogenetic proteins; GH = growth hormone; IGF-1 = insulin-like growth factor-1; PTH = parathyroid hormone; T 3 = liothyronine; TGF β = transforming growth factor β.
