The formation and morphological characteristics of osteoclast-like cells and bone resorption pits were observed under a phase contrast inverted microscope. La^(3+) promotes the formation of osteoclast-like cells at the concentration of 1.00×10^(-8)mol·L^(-1) compared with the control group(P<(0.01)), whereas no significant change in cell number is observed at higher concentrations(1.00×10^(-5), (1.00×)10^(-6) and 1.00×10^(-7) mol·L^(-1))(P>0.05). La^(3+) at the concentration of 1.00×10^(-8)mol·L^(-1) also increases the number and surface area of the resorption pits(P<0.01), but inhibits the bone-resorbing activity dose-dependently(P<0.01)at higher concentrations(1.00×10^(-5), 1.00×10^(-6) and 1.00×10^(-7) mol·L^(-1)). These findings suggest that La^(3+) may promote or inhibit the formation and bone-resorbing activity of osteoclast-like cells depending on its concentration.展开更多

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.展开更多

La( Ⅲ ) at concentrations ranging from 1.00 × 10^-5 to 1.00 × 10^-8 mol·L^-1 show no effect on mature OC number (P 〉 0.05). In the OC-OB coculture systems without La(Ⅲ ), osteoblasts alone did not influence the pit number and area whether the two kinds of cells were in contact or not ( P 〉 0.05). Under the OC-OB not-in-contact condition, the effect of La( Ⅲ ) on the bone-resorbing activity of OCs was similar to that of La(Ⅲ) in the absence of OBs (P 〉 0.05). However, while OCs were in direct contact with OBs, the inhibitory effects of La( Ⅲ ) on OCs' bone-resorbing activity decreased at the concentrations of 1.00 × 10^-5, 1.00×10^-6 and 1.00×10^-7mol·L^-1, and the promotion effects increased at 1.00×10^-8mol·L^-1 (P 〈0.05). The results suggest that direct cell-cell contact between OC and OB be essential for OBs to play their role in regulating the response of OCs to La( Ⅲ ).展开更多
