Abstract:

Objective

To study the effect of cytoskeleton integrity on the expression of COX-2 gene in osteoblasts induced by fluid shear stress.

Methods

BALB/c mouse primary osteoblasts were isolated by enzyme digestion technique. Osteoblasts were treated with or without Cytochalasin D and then loaded or unloaded by fluid shear stress at 12 dyne/cm2. The nested realtime PCR and immunofluorescence were performed to detect the expression levels of COX-2 mRNA and protein in the osteoblasts,respectively. Statistical analyses were performed using twoway ANOVA.

Results

Cytoskeleton integrity disruption with Cytochalasin D had antagonistic effect on the expression of COX-2 gene induced by fluid shear stress (P <0.05). Cytochalasin D had no significant effects on the expression levels of COX-2 mRNA and protein under unloaded condition (P >0.05). Fluid shear stress significantly increased the expression levels of COX-2 mRNA and protein in osteoblasts (P <0.05). Cytochalasin D significantly decreased the expression levels of COX-2 mRNA and protein in osteoblasts induced by fluid shear stress (P <0.05).

Conclusion

Cytoskeleton integrity in osteoblasts is essential for the expression of COX-2 gene induced by fluid shear stress.
