Effects of Different Doses of Calcium on the Mitochondrial Apoptotic Pathway and Rho/ROCK Signaling Pathway in the Bone of Fluorosis Rats.

Abstract:

:For this study, we investigate more deeply the effect calcium (Ca) develops on the mechanism underlying fluoride-triggered osteocyte apoptosis. We detected the morphology of osteocytes by HE staining, mitochondrial microstructure by using the transmission electron microscope, and the biochemical indexes related to bone metabolism and the expression of apoptosis-related genes. These results showed that NaF brought out the reduced osteocytes and ruptured mitochondrial outer membrane, with a significantly increased StrACP activity by 10.414 IU/L at the 4th week (P < 0.05), markedly upregulating the mRNA expression of Bax, Cyto-C, Apaf-1, caspase-7, ROCK-1, BMP-2, and BGP (P < 0.01), as well as caspase-6 (P < 0.05), while downregulating Bcl-2 by 61.3% (P < 0.01). Through immunohistochemical analysis, we also found that NaF notably increased the protein expression of ROCK-1 (P < 0.05) and Cyto-C, BMP-2, and BGP (P < 0.01), suggesting that NaF triggered the activation of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and Rho/ROCK signaling pathway. Nevertheless, 1% Ca supplementation in diet notably enhanced the mRNA expression of Bcl-2 by 39.3% (P < 0.01), thus blocking the increment of the expression of mitochondrial apoptotic pathway-related genes and ROCK-1. Meanwhile, Ca could attenuate the StrACP activity by 10.741 IU/L at the 4th week (P < 0.05) and protect the integrity of the mitochondrial outer membrane. These findings strongly suggest that 1% Ca abated the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway by increasing the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 expression, and effectively inhibited the hyper-activation of ROCK-1, dually protecting the structural integrity of the mitochondrial outer membrane and maintaining normal cellular metabolic function.
