Impaired phagosomal maturation in neutrophils leads to periodontitis in lysosomal-associated membrane protein-2 knockout mice (2008)

Beertsen, W., Willenborg, M., Everts, V., Zirogianni, A., Podschun, R., Schroder, B., ...

Inflammatory periodontal diseases constitute one of the most common infections in humans, resulting in the destruction of the supporting structures of the dentition. Circulating neutrophils are an...

Endocytosis of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase by osteoblast-like cells is followed by inactivation of the enzyme (2006)

Perez-Amodio, S., Jansen, D.C., Tigchelaar-Gutter, W., Beertsen, W., Everts, V.

Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP) is generally used as a marker of osteoclasts. Yet, other bone-associated cells, such as osteoblasts and osteocytes, may also express activity of this...

Calvarial osteoclasts express a higher level of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase than long bone osteoclasts and activation does not depend on cathepsin K or L activity (2006)

Perez-Amodio, S., Jansen, D.C., Schoenmaker, T., Vogels, I.M.C., Reinheckel, T., Hayman, A.R., ...

Bone resorption by osteoclasts depends on the activity of various proteolytic enzymes, in particular those belonging to the group of cysteine proteinases. Next to these enzymes, tartrate-resistant...

Osteoclastic bone degradation and the role of different cysteine proteinases and matrix metalloproteinases: Differences between calvaria and long bone (2006)

Everts, V., Korper, W., Hoeben, K.A., Jansen, I.D.C., Bromme, D., ...

Introduction: The osteoclast resorbs bone by lowering the pH in the resorption lacuna, which is followed by secretion of proteolytic enzymes. One of the enzymes taken to be essential in resorption is...

Structure of the periodontium in cathepsin C-deficient mice (2006)

Haar, S.F. De, Tigchelaar-Gutter, W., Everts, V., Beertsen, W.

Papillon-Lefevre syndrome is characterized by increased susceptibility to early-onset periodontitis and is caused by mutations in the cathepsin C gene. How deficiency of the enzyme relates to an...

Effects of fixation and demineralization on the intensity of autoradiographic labelling over the periodontal ligament of the mouse incisor after administration of [3H]-proline (1975)

Beertsen, W., Tonino, G.J.M.

The effect of different histological procedures on the autoradiographic grain count over the periodontal ligament was studied quantitatively in autoradiographs made eight hours after administration...

Alkaline phosphatase induces the mineralization of sheets of collagen implanted subcutaneously in the rat.

Beertsen, W

To determine whether alkaline phosphatase (ALP) can cause the mineralization of collagenous matrices in vivo, bovine intestinal ALP was covalently bound to slices of guanidine-extracted demineralized...

Alkaline phosphatase induces the mineralization of sheets of collagen implanted subcutaneously in the rat.

Beertsen, W

To determine whether alkaline phosphatase (ALP) can cause the mineralization of collagenous matrices in vivo, bovine intestinal ALP was covalently bound to slices of guanidine-extracted demineralized...

Free and polymerized tubulin in cultured bone cells and Chinese hamster ovary cells: the influence of cold and hormones

Beertsen, W, Heersche, JNM, Aubin, JE

Free and polymerized tubulin were measured in bone cells and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells cultured on plastic substrata. Polymerized tubulin was stabilized in a microtubule- stabilizing medium...
