目的观察氟对小鼠成纤维细胞(FB)和成骨细胞(OB)c-fos mRNA和蛋白表达的影响,探讨c—fos表达改变在FB成骨功能方面的作用。方法将小鼠FB和OB分为对照组和6个染氟组,染氟(F^-)质量浓度分别为0、0.0001、0.0010、0.1000、1.0000、10.0000、20.0000mg/L,培养时间为2、4、24、48、72h。应用酶联免疫吸附法(ELISA)和RT—PCR法分别检测各时间段培养细胞上清液c—fos蛋白和染氟48h细胞中c—fosmRNA的表达。结果ELISA结果表明,各染氟组FB在各时间段c—fos蛋白水平均较相应对照组明显升高(P〈0.01);OB c—fos蛋白水平在氟作用48h的0.0001、0.0010mg/L组(0.73±0.04、0.64±0.14)、氟作用72h的0.0001mg/L组(0.70±0.17)较对照组(0.32±0.04、0.27±0.05)明显升高(P〈0.01)。RT—PCR结果表明,染氟48h各剂量组FB c—fos mRNA表达(1.06±0.16、1.06±0.12、1.12±0.16、1.04±0.15、1.04±0.10、1.15±0.29)呈上升趋势,但与对照组(0.95±0.11)比较,差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05);OB在染氟20.0000mg/L组c—fosmRNA表达(1.40±0.17)较对照组(1.06±0.06)明显升高(P〈0.01)。结论氟对FB和OB c—fosmRNA和蛋白表达具有明显的刺激增强作用,可能在促进FB成骨表型表达和成骨活动增强方面发挥重要作用。
Objective To observe the expression of c-fos mRNA and protein in fluoride treated mouse fibroblast(FB) and osteoblast(OB) and to further explore the effects of c-fos in the osteogenic action of FB. Methods Mouse FB and OB were divided into control group and six fluoride groups (0,0.0001,0.0010,0.1000,1.0000, 10.0000,20.0000 mg/L F ), and the levels of c-fos protein at 2,4,24,48,72 h and c-fos mRNA at 48 h were measured by using ELISA and RT-PCR methods. Results Compared with the control group, fluoride increased the content of c-fos protein obviously in all FB group(P 〈 0.01 ) ; and it is increased in 0.0001,0.0010 mg/L groups at 48 h (0.73 ± 0.04,0.64± 0.14) and 0.0001 mg/L group at 72 h(0.70 ± 0.17) in OB compared with the control group (0.32 ± 0.04,0.27±0.05, P 〈 0.01 ). Compared with the control group(0.95 ± 0.11 ), RT-PCR revealed an increasing tendency of the expression of c-fos mRNA at 48 h in FB ( 1.06 ± 0. 16,1.06 ±0. 12,1.12 ± 0.16, 1.04 ± 0.15,1.04 ± 0.10,1.15 ± 0.29), but the difference was not statistically significant (P 〉 0.05); however, a statistically significant difference(P 〈 0.01 ) of c-fos mRNA in 20.0000 mg/L group(1.40 ±0.17) in OB was found compared with the control group( 1.06 ± 0.06 ). Conclusion The higher expression of c-fos mRNA and protein in FB induced by fluoride may play an important role in the transformation of osteoblastic phenotype as well as increase the osteogenesis ability in FB.
