Objective To investigate the effect of fluoride exposure on expression of miRNA (miR)-200c and its target in human osteoblast Saos-2 cells.Methods Saos-2 cells were cultured in DMEM/F-12 medium and treated with fluoride (sodium fluoride,NaF).There were two groups including:control group (0 mg/L) and fluoride group (4 mg/L).Cells were harvested after 48 hours of culture with fluoride.The expression of miR-200c,the mRNA of alkaline phosphatase (ALP),osteocalcin (BGP),the target phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) and dual-specific phosphatase 1 (DUSP1) of miR-200c was detected by qRT-PCR.The protein expression of PTEN and DUSP1 was detected by Western blotting.Results The expressions of ALP,BGP mRNA and miR-200c in Saos-2 cells in the fluoride group (23.60 ± 1.87,9.41 ± 0.94,8.61 ± 0.26) were higher than those in the control group (1.00 ± 0.11,1.00 ± 0.07,1.00 ± 0.12).The differences were statistically significant (t =-24.084,-18.388,-8.687,P ＜ 0.05).The mRNA expressions of PTEN and DUSP1 in the fluoride group (0.63 ± 0.02,0.38 ± 0.02) were lower than those in the control group (1.02 ± 0.24,1.02 ± 0.24).The differences were statistically significant (t =3.327,5.454,P ＜ 0.05).The protein expressions of PTEN and DUSP1 in Saos-2 cells in the fluoride group (1.19 ± 0.10,0.83 ± 0.07) were lower than those in the control group (1.81 ± 0.14,1.44 ± 0.25).The differences were statistically significant (t =6.250,4.171,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Exposure to fluorine may increase the expression of miR-200c in Saos-2 cells,and fluorine may act on PTEN and DUSP1 through miR-200c,downregulates the mRNA and protein expression levels of PTEN and DUSP1.

Effect of decoction and drug-containing serum of sweated and crude Radix Dipsaci on proliferation of MG-63 cells and osteoblasts / 中草药

Objective To investigate the effect of decoction and drug serum of sweated and crude Dipsaci Radix on the proliferation of human osteoblast-like cells (MG-63) and osteoblasts. Methods MG-63 cells and osteoblasts were co-cultured with decoction and rat serum containing Dipsaci Radix before and after “sweating”. The cell proliferation was detected by MTT method and the ALP activity of osteoblasts was detected by nitrophenyl phosphate method. Results Both decoction and drug-containing serum can significantly promote the proliferation of MG-63 cells and osteoblasts (P < 0.01), and significantly increase the ALP activity of osteoblasts (P < 0.01). Moreover, sweated group were generally better than or non-inferior to crude group at the same dose concentration of two administration methods. Conclusion Combined with component studies, it can be inferred that the changes in composition before and after "sweating" affect its role in promoting cell proliferation and differentiation, with view to laying the foundation for further research.

Effects of calcium ion on the migration and osteogenic differentiation of human osteoblasts / 华西口腔医学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#This study aimed to investigate the effect of calcium ion (Ca²⁺) on the migration and osteogenic differentiation of human osteoblasts and explore the proper concentration and correlation mechanism.@*METHODS@#A series of Ca²⁺ solutions with different concentrations was prepared. Osteoblast migration was assessed by Transwell assay, and proliferation was studied via the CCK-8 colorimetric assay. The mRNA expression of osteogenic genes was examined via reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the mineralized nodule was examined by alizarin red-S method. After calcium sensitive receptor (CaSR) antagonism, Ca²⁺-induced migration and osteogenic differentiation were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#In the migration experiment, 2, 4, and 6 mmol·L⁻¹ Ca²⁺ could promoted osteoblast migration at three timepoints (8, 16, and 24 h), whereas 10 mmol·L⁻¹ Ca²⁺ considerably inhibited migration at 8 h. The Ca²⁺ concentration range of 2-10 mmol·L⁻¹ could promote proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and mineralization of human osteoblasts. Moreover, mineralization was predominantly induced by 8 and 10 mmol·L⁻¹ Ca²⁺. CaSR antagonism could reduce Ca²⁺-induced migration and osteogenic differentiation of human osteoblasts.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Low Ca²⁺ concentration favored osteoblast migration, whereas high Ca²⁺ concentration favored osteogenic differentiation. The Ca²⁺ concentrations of 4 and 6 mmol·L⁻¹ could substantially induce osteoblast migration and osteogenic differentiation, and the Ca²⁺-CaSR pathway participated in signal transduction.

To establish a method for radioligand binding assay of thyroid hormone receptors(TR)in human osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cell line MG-63 and to estimate the kinetic parameters of putative receptors. The MG-63cell was cultured in Ham's F12, the soluble TR was prepared from the intact nuclear extracts. The binding properties between TR and T3 were performed by using the traditional Scatchard analysis. The apparent Ka of TR in MG-63 is 7.68× 109 L/mol, and MBC(111. 25+ 10.77)fmol/mg protein. The study indicated that MG-63 cells possessed high affinity and limited-capacity of TR in its nuclear extracts. This may serve as the starting and basic work about TR in bone cell.

The Growth of Human Osteoblasts in Culture Dishes Made with Poly-glycolic Acid Containing Fetal Bovine Serum

PURPOSE: An ideal bony construct can be divided into two broad categories: (1) the design and fabrication of biodegradable, biomimetic scaffolds that provide correct signals to induce osteogenesis: (2) the identification of an ideal source of osteoprogenitor cells to seed onto the scaffold. We selected poly-glycolic acid as a synthetic scaffold among various scaffolds because of these properties. Meanwhile, culture medium is supplemented with fetal bovine serum(FBS): such serum contains essential elements such as proteins, hormones, growth factors and trace minerals. The composition of FBS can be ideal for various cell growth in vitro. We supposed that we could enhance bone growth at a fractured site if FBS was mixed with synthetic scaffold-PGA. METHODS: We cultured human osteoblasts in five different prepared culture dishes made with FBS and PGA mixture. The mixtures contained different ratio of FBS, that is, 0, 1.5, 3, 7, and 10%. We cultured human osteoblasts for seven days and examined the growth and attachment of the cells at the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th days, respectively. RESULTS: In the mixture of 0% FBS and PGA, the growth of the cells lasted for one day. In 1.5 and 3% FBS and PGA, the growth of the cells was examined at the 3rd day, then minimally declined at the 5th and 7th days. In 7% FBS and PGA, the growth of the cells lasted for 5 days, then declined at the 7th day. In 10% FBS and PGA, the growth of the cells lasted for 5 days, then declined at the 7th day. Staining status of the osteoblasts with alkaline phosphatase showed pale pink color in 0% FBS and PGA groups, but bright pink color in 1.5, 3, 7, 10% FBS and PGA groups, especially in 3%, 7%. CONCLUSION: In consequence, the growth of human osteoblast was higher in the mixture of FBS and PGA groups than in pure PGA ones. It is assumed that the mixture of FBS and PGA affects the proliferation of human osteoblasts.

The Affinitty of Human Osteoblast to A-W Glass Ceramics / 대한정형외과연구학회지

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of polystyrene, titanium, and A-W ceramic focusing on the affinity of osteoblasts to the metals. Human osteoblasts were cultivated with each material (group I : polystyrene; group II :titanium; and group III:A-W ceramic) for seven days. Serial scanning electromicroscopic (SEM) examination and quantitative analysis of cellular protein synthesis were performed in each group of material. SEM examination showed that at the first day, the osteoblasts in group II and group III had longer and abundant cytoplasmic spindles than those in group 1. At the seventh day, the particulate networks (diameter 1-2 urn) were observed on the surfaces of osteoblasts in group I and group II but not in group III. In all groups, the amount of protein synthesis tended to increase with days of culture. Furthermore the actual amount was significantly larger in the orders of group III, group II, and group I (p<0.05, in all comparisons). This in vitro study suggests that when other factors are controlled, the superior affinity of human osteoblast to A-W ceramic might be attributable to the better biocompatibility than that of titanium and polystyrene.
