摘要
The effect of lanthanum （ Ⅲ ） （La^3 ＋ ） on cytosolic free calcium （ [ Ca^2 ＋ ] i ） in isolated rabbit mature osteoclasts was studied with the employment of fluo-3/AM as an intracellular calcium-sensitive fluorescent probe by using a confocal laser scanning microscope. La^3＋ does not alter basal [Ca^2＋ ]i levels and cell spread area at the concentration of 1.00 × 10^- 8 mol· L ^- 1. However, La^3 ＋ at higher concentrations （ 1. 00 × 10^ - 5 and 1.00 × 10^- 7 mol· L^- 1 ） decreases [ Ca^2 ＋ ] i levels and cell spread area, and greater decreases are observed for the higher concentrations of La^3 ＋ . Since [Ca^2 ＋ ]i affects cytoskeleton and the adhesion properties of osteoclasts, our results seem to suggest that La^3 ＋ inhibit bone resorption by decreasing [Ca^2＋]i in rabbit mature osteoclasts.
