Dual effect of polyphosphate on mineralization of rat osteoblast ROS17/2.8 cells in a dose-dependent manner
2018
Abstract Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP), a linear polymer of orthophosphate, is found at high concentrations in osteoblasts. We demonstrated the effects of various polyP concentrations on the mineralization of rat osteoblast ROS17/2.8 cells. Mineralization of ROS17/2.8 was induced by a high polyP concentration (1 mg/mL), which was accompanied by an upregulation of the bone sialoprotein and osteocalcin. In contrast, a low polyP concentration (1 × 10 −2 mg/mL) reduced mineralization without affecting the osteogenic gene expression. Furthermore, gene expression profiling and forced expression analysis indicated that phosphodiesterase 11a could be a candidate involved in the dose-dependent effect of polyP on osteoblast mineralization.
