<i>Dmp1Cre</i> -directed knockdown of PTHrP in murine decidua is associated with increased bone width and a life-long increase in strength specific to male progeny
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Parathyroid hormone related-protein (PTHrP) is a pleiotropic regulator of tissue homeostasis. In bone, knockdown in osteocytes by Dmp1Cre- targeted deletion causes osteopenia and impaired strength. We report that this outcome depends on parental genotype. Adult Dmp1Cre.Pthlh f/f mice from homozygous parents ( Dmp1Cre.Pthlh f/f(hom) ) have stronger bones, with 40% more trabecular bone mass and 30% greater femoral width than controls. At 12 days old, greater bone width was also found in male and female Dmp1Cre.Pthlh f/f(hom) mice, but not in gene-matched mice from heterozygous parents, suggesting a maternal influence before weaning. Milk PTHrP levels were normal, but decidua from mothers of Dmp1Cre.Pthlh f/f(hom) mice were smaller, with low PTHrP levels. Moreover, Dmp1Cre.Pthlh f/f(hom) embryonic bone was more mineralized and wider than control. We conclude that Dmp1Cre leads to gene recombination in decidua, and that decidual PTHrP influences decidual cell maturation and limits embryonic bone growth. This identifies a maternal-derived developmental origin of adult bone strength.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
