    Notes: The effects of retinoic acid (RA) on the expression of osteoblastic-related cell makers was examined. A marrow and osteogenic cell line, MBA-15, was analyzed by Northern blotting for the expression of bone matrix proteins. These cells constituentively express mRNA encoding for procolllagen a2 (1), osteonectin, osteopontin, biglycan and alkaline phosphatase (ALK-P). Gene expression was unchanged in response to RA triggering for 24hr. Furthermore, cell growth and enzymatic activities of ALK-P and neutral endopeptidase (CD10/NEP) were studied. These parameters were examined in MBA-15 and clonal populations representing different stages of differentiation. The cell's growth rate was unchanged, while ALK-P activity was greatly increased during the culture period under RA treatment in MBA-15 and in the clonal cell lines examined while CD10/NEP activity dispalyed a different pattern. MBA-15.4, a presosteoblast cell ine, exhibited an inhibition in CD10/NEP activity at the beginning of the culture period, reaching basal level with time. This activity was greatly increased over control level in MBA-15.6, a mature stage of osteoblasts. Furthermore, the response of cell lines to various growth factors was tested subsequent to priming the cultures with RA. A synergistic effect was monitored for ALK-P activity in MBA-15.4 and MBA-15.6 cells under rh-bone morphogenic protein (BMP-2) and purified osteogenin (BMP-3), and an antagonist effect was measured when cells were exposed to transforming growth factor β (TGFβ). Contrarily, BMP-2 and BMP-3 inhibited the CD10/NEP activity that had remained unchanged following priming of the cell with RA. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and basic fibroblast growth factors (bFGF) did not affect either ALK-P nor CD10/NEP activities in both cloned cells. Cellular response to bone-seeking hormone, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was monitored by activation of intracellular cAMP. Treatment with RA caused a dramatic increase in MBA-15.6 cell responses to PTH and PGE2 but no significant effects could be observed in other clonal lines.

    Notes: The clonal subtypes of cells in the osteogenic family represented by fibroblastoid MBA-15.33, preosteoblast MBA-15.4, and mature osteoblastic MBA-15.6 cells were used to study the effects of glucocorticoid (dexamethasone). The role of dexamethasone was monitored on cell attachment when plated on various protein substrata (BSA, collagen I, and Matrigel). A 24 h exposure of the cells to 10-6 M or 10-7 M dexamethasone differential affects their attachment preference. MBA-15.33 and MBA-15.4 cells increased their attachment capability on collagen I, while MBA-15.6 cells' attachment was inhibited. Pretreatment with (10-6 M) dexamethasone caused an increase in attachment on Matrigel by MBA-15.33 cells and to less extent by MBA-15.4 cells. Additionally, measurements of two enzymatic activities were monitored; one is alkaline phosphatase (ALK-P), and the second is neutral endopeptidase (CD10/NEP). MBA-15.33, MBA-15.4, and MBA-15.6 cells were exposed to dexamethasone or to various growth factors (bone morphogenic protein (BMP-2 and BMP-3), TGFβ, and IGF-I). In some experiments, pretreatment of cells by dexamethasone was followed by exposure to the growth factors. The cells' challenged cellular responses were not uniform and revealed a differential pattern when their ALK-P and CD10/NEP enzymatic activities were measured. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
