The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of tensile force on DNA and protein biosynthesis in bone cells, and to identify the cell type(s) which primarily respond to external physical force among the heterogenous bone cell populations. As a prerequisite for this study, two bone cell populations which retain fibroblastic and osteoblastic feature were isolated from fetal rat calvaria with sequential enzyme digestion scheme. Tensile force was delivered to each bone cell population by two acrylic resin plates connected with a orthodontic expansion screw during culture period. Rate of DNA and protein synthesis in each bone cell population were assessed by the incorporated radioactivity of $[^3H]-thymidine$ into DNA and $[^3H]-proline$ into fraction of collagenase-digestible protein and noncollagenous protein, respectively. DNA synthesis of osteoblast-like calvarial cell populations was increased significantly by the application of tensile force for 24 hours. In contrast, no alteration in DNA synthesis of fibroblast-like populations could be observed in response to applied force. Tensile force induced the change in protein synthesis of bone cell populations with the same pattern. Total protein and collagen synthesis were increased whithin 24 hours in osteoblast-like populations, but not in fibroblast-like populations by tensile force application. These findings indicate that physical force can affect cellullar activity of the particular cell population, not all cell Populations residing in bone and osteoblasts respond more sensitively than fibroblasts. So osteoblasts can modulate the behavior of other bone cells including osteoclasts by producing several local regulating factors of bone metabolism. In this context, preferential responsiveness of osteoblasts to applied tensile force observed in this study suggests that osteoblasts may play an important role in regulation of physical force-induced remodelling process.

To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that consists consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen according to the natural bone's main composition. The crystallinity of the synthesized apatite was shown to depend on the synthesis temperature. Carbonate apatite synthesized at $58{\circ}C$ demonstrated crystallinity very similar to that of the natural bone. By sintering the apatite over $700{\circ}C$ in vacuum, porous carbonate apatite could be obtained, and the pore extent was controllable according to the additive hydrogenperoxide volume.

Objectives: In this study, the author aimed to evaluate the effect of EtOH extract of Ganoderma lucidum (GLE) on osteoblast proliferation in rat fetus calvarial cells. Methods: The osteoblast separated from rat fetus calvariae was cultivated for 6~21 days and evaluated the cell function. After the addition of GLE on the culture medium, we determined the effect of GLE on the cell viability, cell proliferation, bone matrix protein synthesis, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, collagen synthesis and calcified nodule formation of the cultivated osteoblast. Results: GLE did not change the survival rate of rat calvarial osteoblast. GLE increased the proliferation of rat calvarial osteoblast. GLE increased ALP activity of rat calvarial osteoblast. GLE increased bone matrix protein synthesis of rat calvarial osteoblast. GLE increased collagen synthesis of rat calvarial osteoblast. GLE slightly affected calcified nodule formation of rat calvarial osteoblast. Conclusions: This study suggests that Ganoderma lucidum might improve the osteoporosis resulted from augmentation of osteoblast proliferation.

결합 조직의 대사를 억제하고, 골조직이나 골세포의 골기질 대사 역시 억제하는 것으로 알려져 있는 $Interferon-\gamma(IFN-\gamma)$의 교정치료에의 이용 가능성을 평가하기 위하여, 교정력에 의한 골 개조 과정에서 중심적 역할을 하는 것으로 알려진 치주인대 세포를 primary culture하여 배양된 세포에 $IFN-\gamma$를 투여함으로써 이것이 골조직 기질의 합성능에 미치는 영향에 대하여 관찰하였다. $IFN-\gamma$는 세포의 DNA합성능을 약하게 증가시켰으며, 세포내 DNA 총량에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 따라서 이 실험에서 사용한 용량의 $IFN-\gamma$는 세포에 독성이 없다고 할 수 있으며, 다른 결합조직 세포에서 나타나는 항증식 효과와는 반대되는 결과였다. $IFN-\gamma$는 비교원성 단백질(NCP)의 합성을 증가시키는 양상을 나타내었으나, 교원질(CDP)의 합성은 감소시키는 경향을 보여, 총단백질에 대한 교원질의 합성비율은 $IFN-\gamma$에 의해 용량 의존적으로 감소하였다. 또한 교원질의 mRNA양은 단백질 합성과 유관하게 $IFN-\gamma$에 의해 억제되었다. 따라서 $IFN-\gamma$는 교원질 합성의 전사과정 혹은 그 이후의 과정에 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상할 수 있다. 한편 Indomethacin의 투여로 $IFN-\gamma$에 의해 억제된 교원질의 합성이 영향을 받지 않았기 때문에 $IFN-\gamma$에 의한 교원질 합성 과정에 prostaglandin이 관련되지 않았음을 알 수 있었다. 반면 fibronectin의 합성은 10 및 100 U/ml의 $IFN-\gamma$ 투여시에는 영향을 받지 않았으나, 1000U/ml의 $IFN-\gamma$투여시에는 유의한 증가를 나타내어, 교원질에서와는 다른 영향을 나타내었다. 또한 mRNA steady state level에서도 $IFN-\gamma$는 교원질의에서와는 달리 fibronectin mRNA 양에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 즉 $IFN-\gamma$ fibronectin 유전자 발현에 영향을 미치는 부위는 전사나, 전사후 변형단계가 아닌 단백질 합성단계에서 영향을 미침을 보여주었다. 따라서 $IFN-\gamma$ 교원질과 fibronectin합성 조절 영향을 미치는 부위 서로 다름을 알 수 있겠다. Alkaline phospatase의 활성은 10-1000 U/ml의 $IFN-\gamma$를 투여시 약하게 증가시키는 경향을 보였으나 석회화가 일어날 정도로 높게 증가시키지는 못했다. 따라서 $IFN-\gamma$는 골기질의 주성분인 type I 교원질의 합성을 선택적으로 억제하는 기능과 alkaline phosphatase의 활성을 크게 증가시키지 못한 점 등으로 미루어 볼 때, 골개조를 억제하는 방향으로 작용한다고 볼 수 있으며, 교정치료 과정중 골개조를 억제하는 부위에서 사용을 시도해 볼 수 있겠다.

Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate the effect of Guibi-tang water extract (GB) on osteoporosis. Methods: We examined the effect of GB on osteoclast differentiation using murine pre-osteoclastic RAW 264.7 cells treated with receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL). The effect of GB on osteoclast was measured by counting TRAP (+) multinucleated cells and measuring TRAP activity. The mRNA expressions of osteoclastogenesis-related genes (Cathepsin K, MMP-9, TRAP, NFATc1, MITF, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6, COX-2) were measured by real-time PCR. We examined the effect of GB on osteoblast proliferation, ALP activity, bone matrix protein synthesis and collagen synthesis using murine calvarial cell. Results: GB decreased the number of TRAP (+) multinucleated cells and inhibited TRAP activity in RANKL-stimulated RAW 264.7 cell. GB decreased the expression of genes related osteoclastogenesis such as Cathepsin K, MMP-9, TRAP, NFATc1, MITF, COX-2 in RANKL-stimulated RAW 264.7 cell. But GB did not decrease the expression of iNOS and increased the expression of TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 in RANKL-stimulated RAW 264.7 cell. These genes (iNOS, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6) are thought to be related with the inflammatory bone destruction. GB increased cell proliferation of rat calvarial cell and also increased ALP activity in rat calvarial cell. GB did not increase bone matrix protein synthesis but increased collagen synthesis in rat calvarial cell. Conclusions: This study suggests that GB may be effective in treating osteoporosis by inhibiting osteoclast differentiation and its related gene expression and by increasing osteoblast proliferation.

Yam (Dioscorea batatas) is widely consumed as functional food for health promotion mainly in East Asia countries. We assessed whether yam root (tuber) or bark (peel) extracts stimulated the activity of osteoblasts for osteogenesis. MC3T3-E1 cells (mouse osteoblasts) were treated with yam root extracts (water or methanol) (study I) or bark extracts (water or hexane) (study II) within $0{\sim}10{\mu}g/mL$ during the periods of osteoblast proliferation (5~10 day), matrix maturation (11~15 day) and mineralization (16~20 day) as appropriate. In study I, both yam root water and methanol extracts increased cell proliferation as concentration-dependent manner. Cellular collagen synthesis and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, both the indicators of bone matrix protein and inorganic phosphate production for calcification respectively, were also increased by yam root water and methanol extract. Osteoblast calcification as cell matrix Ca and P accumulation was also increased by the addition of yam root extracts. In study II, yam bark extracts (water and hexane) increased osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, as collagen synthesis and ALP activity and osteoblast matrix Ca and P deposition. The study results suggested that both yam root and bark extracts stimulate osteogenic function in osteoblasts by stimulating bone matrix maturation by increasing collagen synthesis, ALP activity, and matrix mineralization.

Purpose : To investigate the effects of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) and quercetin (QCT) on gene expression of bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteocalcin (OC) during the differentiation in irradiated MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells. Materials and Methods : When MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells had reached 70-80% confluence, cultures were transferred to a differentiating medium supplemented with 5 mM 2-DG or $10{\mu}M$ QCT, and then irradiated with 2, 4, 6, and 8 Gy. At various times after irradiation, the cells were analyzed for the synthesis of type I collagen, and expression of BSP and OC. Results : The synthesis of type I collagen in cells exposed to 2 Gy of radiation in the presence of 2-DG or QCT showed no significant difference compared with the control group within 15 days post-irradiation. When the cells were irradiated with 8 Gy, 2-DG facilitated the irradiation mediated decrease of type I collagen synthesis, whereas such decrease was inhibited by treating with QCT. During MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cell differentiation, the mRNA expression of BSP and OC showed the peak value at 14 days and 21 days, respectively. 2-DG or QCT treatment alone decreased the level of BSP mRNA, but increased the OC mRNA level only at early time of differentiation (day 7). In the cells irradiated with 2, 4, 8 Gy, the mRNA expression of BSP and OC decreased at 7 days after the irradiation. The cells were treated with various dose of radiation in the presence of 2-DG or QCT, the mRNA level of both BSP and OC increased although this increase was observed at low dose of radiation (2 Gy) and at the early stage of differentiation. However, when the cells were exposed to 4, 6, or 8 Gy, the increase of BSP and OC mRNAs was detected only in cells co-incubated with QCT. Conclusion : This study demonstrates that 2-DG and QCT affect differently the expression of bone formation related factors, type I collagen, BSP, and OC in the irradiated MC3T3-E1 osteoblasic cells, according to the dose of radiation and the times of differentiation. Overall, the present findings suggest that 2-DG and QCT could have the regulatory roles as radiation-sensitizer and -protector, respectively.

Transforming growth factor ${\beta}(TGF-{\beta})$는 많은 세포의 증식, 분화 및 여러가지 세포기능에 대해 다양한 조절기능을 갖고 있는 multifunctional polypeptide로 알려져 있다. $TGF-{\beta}$는 골기질에 상당량 존재하며 골조직 대사에 대해 광범위한 영향을 나타낸다. 여러가지 연구결과에 의해 기질과 연관된 $TGF-{\beta}$는 골세포 자체의 산물로 여겨지고 있으나 골조직세포군중 어느종류의 세포가 $TGF-{\beta}$를 형성하는지에 대해서는 논란이 되고 있다. 본 연구는 $TGF-{\beta}$를 형성하는 골조직세포를 규명하고 $TGF-{\beta}$가 서로 다른 세포들에 미치는 영향을 관찰하고자 하였다. 본 실험에 필요한 특정골조직세포군을 얻기 위하여 백서태자두개관을 연속효소처리하여 수집한 골조직세포군의 생화학적 특성규명을 시행하였다. 효소 처리후 초기에 유리되는 세포는 섬유아세포의 특성을 보이며 후기에 유리되는 세포는 acid 및 alkaline phosphatase 활성과 부갑상선호르몬, calcitonin, prostaglandin $E_{2}$에 대한 c-AMP의 반응 및 교원 단백질합성등을 통해 볼때 조골세포유사세포로 보여진다. 골조직과 두개관세포 추출물의 Polyacrylamlde gel과 immunoblot analysis에 의해 골조직내에 $TGF-{\beta}$의 존재와 골세포에 의한 $TGF-{\beta}$의 생성을 확인하였다. 두개관 세포 추출물의 분석에서 모든 세포군에서 $TGF-{\beta}$가 합성되는 것을 관찰하였다. 외부에서 $TGF-{\beta}$를 가한 경우 무혈청 배지에서 골조직 증식에 대해 두가지 양상의 반응을 보였다. 조골세포 유사세포에서는 촉진하는 반응을 보였으나 섬유아세포군에서는 억제반응을 나타냈다. 반면에 교원 및 비교원 단백질 합성에 있어서는 모든 두개관세포군이 촉진반응을 보였다. 단백질 합성증가는 교원단백에 특이성이라기 보다는 일반적인 증가로 보여진다. 또한 단백질합성증가에 대한 $TGF-{\beta}$의 영향은 세포증식과의 관련성이 없는 것으로 사료된다. 결국 골세포에 의한 $TGF-{\beta}$의 생성과 여러 세포군에 대한 서로 다른 작용으로 보아 $TGF-{\beta}$는 autocrine과 paracrine 양상으로 세포기능을 조절함으로써 골조직 대사를 조절하는 중요한 기능을 발휘하는 것으로 사료된다.
