Abstract

We investigated the relationship between oxidative stress and osteoblasts viability in osteoblasts exposed to various concentrations of fluoride in this study. Primary calvarial osteoblasts from neonatal Kunming mice were cultured and subcultured to the third generation. Osteoblasts were incubated with sodium fluoride (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 20 mgF(-)/L) for 24, 48, and 72 h. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) analysis showed cell viability significantly increased after osteoblasts exposed to low concentrations of fluoride (0.5 to approximately 2 mgF(-)/L) for 24 to approximately 72 h. Oxidative stress analysis showed that low concentration of fluoride excited lipid peroxidation in osteoblasts and increased activity of antioxidant enzymes in varying degrees. We demonstrated that changes of osteoblasts viability of the low-dose fluoride groups are different from those of high-dose fluoride groups; however, both low and high doses of fluoride caused active state of oxidative stress in osteoblasts, which suggesting that oxidative stress may be excited by the active osteoblasts viability induced by a low dose of fluoride.

    Exposure to excessive fluoride poses a threat to human health, including increased susceptibility to developing the skeletal fluorosis. Despite its recognized importance as an endemic disease, little is known about how fluoride directly impacts on osteoblasts. We previously reported that fluoride-stimulating monolayer-cultured osteoblast proliferation or inhibiting cell viability depended on

    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

To improve their osteointegration for clinical purposes, the fluoride insertion in their structure has been proposed, but we recently showed that fluoride causes oxidative damage in human MG-63 osteoblasts, via inhibition

    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

    It is well established that fluoride exposure can increase bone formation by increasing the proliferation of osteoblasts. Less clear is fluoride's impact on bone resorption and the cells (osteoclasts) that resorb bone. Many have assumed that fluoride's main effect on bone resorption and osteoclasts is an inhibitory one (i.e., less

    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

    A vast body of research demonstrates that fluoride exposure increases oxidative stress. Based on this research, it is believed that fluoride-induced oxidative stress is a key mechanism underlying the various toxic effects associated with fluoride exposure. It is also well established that fluoride's toxic effects can be ameliorated by exposure
