Abstract：
:The loss of osteoblast function in aging bone is one of the major causes of osteopenia, or loss of bone mass. In this study, this loss of function was investigated by examining the proliferative response of rat long bone periosteal osteoblasts to TGF(beta1) and 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D(3) (1,25-D(3)) as a function of donor age. Using a DNA binding fluorescent dye, DNA levels were measured in osteoblast cultures derived from either young adult (3-4 months) or old (14-15 months) rats following treatment with two concentrations (10(-9) M or 10(-12) M) of either 1,25-D(3) or TGF(beta1) or with vehicle. Cells from young rat bone, when treated with 1, 25-D(3), showed a dose-dependent increase in proliferation when treated with the higher dose and a decrease in proliferation when treated with the lower dose. Osteoblasts isolated from old rats did not respond to 1, 25-D(3) treatment. A similar pattern of response to TGF(beta1) was found. When treated with 10(-9) M TGF(beta1), the rate of proliferation increased for young rat osteoblasts, but the old rat derived cells were unresponsive. The 10(-12) M dose of TGF(beta1) was ineffective for both young and old cells. This study has shown that osteoblasts derived from old donors are impaired in their ability to respond to vitamin D and TGF(beta), two of the major controlling factors of skeletal development and maintenance.
