Sodium fluoride (NaF) is known to stimulate osteoblastic bone formation, but little attention has been given to the possibility that NaF also affects bone resorption and the differentiation of osteoclastic progenitor cells. When human promyelocytic HL-60 cells were treated with NaF (0.5 mM, 0-4 days), cell proliferation was inhibited, and the addition of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) (10nM, 0-4 days) augmented this antiproliferative effect. NaF increased cellular reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT), and this effect was strongly augmented by 1,25(OH)2D3. In addition, NaF produced marked changes in cellular morphology, increased cellular adhesion to plastic, reduced the nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio, and increased cellular expression of chloroacetate esterase, but failed to alter cellular nonspecific esterase activity. Furthermore, NaF increased expression of CD11b and CD66b, and this stimulation was enhanced by adding 1,25(OH)2D3. The sum of these changes in classical promyelocytic cellular indices suggest: (1) that NaF stimulates the early stages of HL-60 differentiation toward a granulocyte-like cell and (2) that 1,25(OH)2D3 promotes these actions of NaF. Additional experiments aimed at further understanding the NaF-induced conversion of HL-60 cells identified further changes. NaF also increased cellular production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and nitric oxide (NO) and induced expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS); 1,25(OH)2D3 once again augmented these NaF-induced effects. Similarly, NaF stimulated the production of interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1 alpha), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and 1,25(OH)2D3 again strongly enhanced these effects. Indomethacin completely blocked stimulation of NBT reduction, NO production, and iNOS expression induced by NaF plus 1,25(OH)2D3; adding exogenous PGE2 (0.1-10 ng/ml) to these indomethacin-blocked cultures dose-dependently restored NO production. These additional findings together with the observed slow onset (24-48 h) of NaF and 1,25(OH)2D3 interaction strongly suggest that 1,25(OH)2D3 acts as a cofactor with NaF primarily through interaction with an endogenous NaF-induced cyclo-oxygenase product(s), quite possibly PGE2 itself. Such a mechanism for NaF and 1,25(OH)2D3 interaction would be strongly analogous to the interaction we have recently demonstrated between 1,25(OH)2D3 and PGE1 on the differentiation of HL-60 cells.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007202	Indicators and Reagents	Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed, p301, p499)	Indicator,Reagent,Reagents,Indicators,Reagents and Indicators
D007213	Indomethacin	A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) that inhibits CYCLOOXYGENASE, which is necessary for the formation of PROSTAGLANDINS and other AUTACOIDS. It also inhibits the motility of POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES.	Amuno,Indocid,Indocin,Indomet 140,Indometacin,Indomethacin Hydrochloride,Metindol,Osmosin
D009569	Nitric Oxide	A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.

D009580	Nitroblue Tetrazolium	Colorless to yellow dye that is reducible to blue or black formazan crystals by certain cells; formerly used to distinguish between nonbacterial and bacterial diseases, the latter causing neutrophils to reduce the dye; used to confirm diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease.

D010010	Osteoclasts	A large multinuclear cell associated with the BONE RESORPTION. An odontoclast, also called cementoclast, is cytomorphologically the same as an osteoclast and is involved in CEMENTUM resorption.	Odontoclasts,Cementoclast,Cementoclasts,Odontoclast,Osteoclast
D010084	Oxidation-Reduction	A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471).	Redox,Oxidation Reduction
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
