[Effect of sensitized lymphocytes on rabbit calvarial osteoblasts]
1The department of Orthopedic, First Hospital Affiliated to Peking University, Beijing 100034, China.
Objective:
To study the effects of sensitized T lymphocytes on osteoblastic proliferation and differentiation.
Methods:
Sensitized lymphocytes were obtained from a rabbit sensitized by chromium, and lymphocyte cultured mediums (LCM) were collected. Osteoblasts were obtained from new-born rabbit calvaria. The osteoblasts were identified with alkaline phosphatase staining and mineralization in vitro. By osteoblast cultured in vitro, osteoblastic proliferation, and production of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin were evaluated in three conditions: without LCM, with LCM not stimulated by Cr(6+) and with LCM stimulated by Cr(6+).
Results:
The cells from rabbit calvaria were positive to ALP staining and could form calcium node in vitro. The sensitized LCM could inhibit proliferation of osteoblasts, increase alkaline phosphatase production and decrease osteocalcin production. These results all had statistically significant difference by ANOVA.
Conclusion:
Sensitized T lymphocytes could decrease the number of mature osteoblasts and impede the formation of mature mineralized bone.
