Abstract
To study the effects of fluoride on cell growth, cell cycle and apoptosis in cultured osteoblasts of rats. The enzymes digesting method was used to isolate the osteoblasts of rats. The activity of the cells was determined by the percents of reduced AlamarBlue. FCM was used to analyze cell cycle and apoptosis. The results showed that the activity of rat osteoblast was not influenced by NaF at 0 to 2 mmol/L concentration after 24 hours incubation. At the concentration of 2 mmol/L, the number of cells at S phase was increased. At the concentration of 4 mmol/L, NaF increased the number of cells at S phase and at the same time, decreased the number of cells at G2/M phase, but the number of the cells at G0/G1 phase kept unchanged. The percent of apoptosis was increased at the concentration of 2 mmol/L. Excessive fluoride could affect the cell activity, retarded cell cycle at S phase and induced apoptosis.

Different Effects of Fluoride Exposure on the Three Major Bone Cell Types.
Fluoride accumulates and is toxic to bones. Clinical bone lesions occur in a phased manner, being less severe early in the natural course of skeletal fluorosis. Previous research rarely focused on osteocyte, osteoclast, and osteoblast at the same time, although these three types of cells are involved in the process

The effect of high dose fluoride on the rat offspring osteoblasts which ingested by female rats.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of high dose fluoride which ingested by female rats on morphologic change in rat offspring's bone and osteoblast, discuss the relation between the mechanism of fluorosis and cell cycle, cell apoptosis. METHODS: In stock diets condition, Wistar female rats drank distilled water containing 0,50,100,150 mg/L NaF

Simultaneous administration of fluoride and selenite regulates proliferation and apoptosis in murine osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells by altering osteoprotegerin.
The receptor activator nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) and its decoy receptor, osteoprotegerin (OPG), are important for maintaining the balance between bone formation and resorption. However, the regulation of microelements on these factors remains unclear. In this study, we used murine osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells to examine the impact of sodium

Effects of sodium fluoride treatment in vitro on cell proliferation, apoptosis and caspase-3 and caspase-9 mRNA expression by neonatal rat osteoblasts.
Long-term excessive fluoride intake is linked to skeletal disease. Skeletal health is influenced by the balance between bone formation and resorption of which osteoblast function is critical. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of fluoride treatment on osteoblast proliferation, apoptosis and caspase-3 and caspase-9 mRNA expression

Sodium fluoride suppress proliferation and induce apoptosis through decreased insulin-like growth factor-I expression and oxidative stress in primary cultured mouse osteoblasts
It has been reported that sodium fluoride suppressed proliferation and induced apoptosis in osteoblasts. However, the details about the mechanism at work in bone metabolism are limited. In this study, we further investigated the mechanisms of NaF on proliferation and apoptosis in the primary cultured mouse osteoblasts, which were exposed

Fluoride's Effect on Osteoblasts (Bone-Forming Cells)
As noted by the National Research Council, "[p]erhaps the single clearest effect of fluoride on the skeleton is its stimulation of osteoblast proliferation." (NRC 2006). Osteoblasts are bone-forming cells. "Stimulatory effects of fluoride on osteoblasts result in formation of osteoid, which subsequently undergoes mineralization." (Fisher RL, et al. 1989). If the new

Fluoride Increases Osteoid Content of Bone
Fluoride's ability to increase the osteoid content of bone is now undisputed. Osteoid is an unmineralized tissue in bone that, in the normal bone remodeling process, ultimately becomes calcified. As some observers have noted, "[t]he main histological change induced by fluoride is the increase of osteoid volume." (Arnala 1985). One way fluoride
