Mechanisms maintaining a correct balance between bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts are essential for bone formation. Apoptosis has been proposed to play a key role in controlling osteoblast homeostasis. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] and GH, which are important regulators of bone growth and bone metabolism, also play pivotal roles in regulation of mitogenesis, differentiation, and apoptosis. We have recently shown that 1,25(OH)2D3 prolongs GH signaling via the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/STAT5 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 5) pathway in UMR 106 osteoblast-like cells. In the present study, we have investigated the effects of GH and 1,25(OH)2D3 on proliferation and apoptosis in UMR 106 cells. We found that 1,25(OH)2D3 and GH, separate or in combination, inhibited apoptosis. GH also had profound effects on cell cycle distribution and proliferation. In addition, pretreatment of cells with 1,25(OH)2D3 was necessary to detect GH-induced MAPK activation. We hypothesize that these hormones separately regulate the processes of apoptosis and proliferation, which may be important for maintaining osteoblast cell number.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010006 Osteoblasts Bone-forming cells which secrete an EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX. HYDROXYAPATITE crystals are then deposited into the matrix to form bone. Osteoblast
D001859 Bone Neoplasms Tumors or cancer located in bone tissue or specific BONES. Bone Cancer,Cancer of Bone,Cancer of the Bone,Neoplasms, Bone,Bone Neoplasm,Neoplasm, Bone
D002117 Calcitriol The physiologically active form of vitamin D. It is formed primarily in the kidney by enzymatic hydroxylation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (CALCIFEDIOL). Its production is stimulated by low blood calcium levels and parathyroid hormone. Calcitriol increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and in concert with parathyroid hormone increases bone resorption. 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1, 25-(OH)2D3,1,25(OH)2D3,1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1 alpha, 25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,1,25(OH)2-20epi-D3,1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,20-epi-1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecaliferol,Bocatriol,Calcijex,Calcitriol KyraMed,Calcitriol-Nefro,Decostriol,MC-1288,MC1288,Osteotriol,Renatriol,Rocaltrol,Silkis,Sitriol,Soltriol,Tirocal,1 alpha,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 dihydroxy 20 epi Vitamin D3,Calcitriol Nefro,D3, 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin,KyraMed, Calcitriol,MC 1288
D002120 Calcium Channel Agonists Agents that increase calcium influx into calcium channels of excitable tissues. This causes vasoconstriction in VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE and/or CARDIAC MUSCLE cells as well as stimulation of insulin release from pancreatic islets. Therefore, tissue-selective calcium agonists have the potential to combat cardiac failure and endocrinological disorders. They have been used primarily in experimental studies in cell and tissue culture.

D017209 Apoptosis A regulated cell death mechanism characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, including the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA, at regularly spaced, internucleosomal sites, i.e., DNA FRAGMENTATION. It is genetically programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.
