PURPOSE. In this study, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of implant surface treatment on cell differentiation of osteoblast cells. For this purpose, three surfaces were compared: (1) a modified SLA (MSLA: sand-blasted with large grit, acid-etched, and immersed in 0.9% NaCl), (2) a laser treatment (LT: laser treatment) titanium surface and (3) a laser and acid-treated (LAT: laser treatment, acid-etched) titanium surface. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The MSLA surfaces were considered as the control group, and LT and LAT surfaces as test groups. Alkaline phosphatase expression (ALP) was used to quantify osteoblastic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cell. Surface roughness was evaluated by a contact profilometer (URFPAK-SV; Mitutoyo, Kawasaki, Japan) and characterized by two parameters: mean roughness (Ra) and maximum peak-to-valley height (Rt). RESULTS. Scanning electron microscope revealed that MSLA (control group) surface was not as rough as LT, LAT surface (test groups). Alkaline phosphatase expression, the measure of osteoblastic differentiation, and total ALP expression by surface-adherent cells were found to be highest at 21 days for all three surfaces tested (P<.05). Furthermore, ALP expression levels of MSLA and LAT surfaces were significantly higher than expression levels of LT surface-adherent cells at 7, 14, and 21 days, respectively (P<.05). However, ALP expression levels between MSLA and LAT surface were equal at 7, 14, and 21 days (P>.05). CONCLUSION. This study suggested that MSLA and LAT surfaces exhibited more favorable environment for osteoblast differentiation when compared with LT surface, the results that are important for implant surface modification studies.

Berberine has been used clinically for more than a decade to treat various diseases, has been shown to be effective in osteoblast differentiation, and is a potential treatment option for osteoporosis. However, compared with existing osteoporosis drugs, berberine is somewhat less effective. This study aimed to identify a new compound with efficacy superior to that of berberine. The osteogenic activities of various berberine derivatives were evaluated via cell differentiation in C2C12 preosteoblast cell lines. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining assay and structure-activity relationship demonstrated that compound 2b had a potent osteogenic effect. Furthermore, compound 2b dose dependently increased ALP activity and showed no toxicity at the effective concentration, indicating its efficacy. Additionally, compound 2b upregulated BMP2-induced transcriptional activity in a promoter activity assay using ALP, BSP, and OC promoters.

The chemical compositions of the seeds of the safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) plant were evaluated to determine possible compound having proliferative effects on human osteoblast cells. Three-[4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) test and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were used to assess the effects of the isolates on the human osteoblast-like line (Saos-2). Activity guided fractionation led to the isolation of ALP activating lignin and alkaloid glycosides through the extraction of the seeds, solvent partitioning and repeated silica gel and octadecyl silica (ODS) column chromatographic separations. The data from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Mass (MS), and Infrared (IR) analyses enabled the determination of the chemical structure and characterization of two compounds as a tracheloside and an N-(p-coumaroyl)-serotonin mono-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside. These two compounds showed respectively $149.2{\pm}4.2$ and $138.9{\pm}3.5%$ ALP activity compared to the control when evaluated at a concentration of $100\;{\mu}g/mL$.

Recently, many natural medicines, which have advantage of less side effects and possibility of long-term use, have been studied for their capacity and effects of anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and regenerative potential for periodontal tissues. Cortex Eucommiae, Eupoly phaga, Semen Cuscutae, Halloysitum Rubrum have been traditionally used as medicines for treatment of bone disease in Korea. The objective of the present study is to examine the ability of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in human fetal osteoblast cell line (hFOB1) with several natural medicines. hFOB1 added DMEM/F-12 were cultured with dexamethasone as a positive control, and with each natural medicine. ALP activity was measured by spectrophotometer for enzyme activity and naphthol AS-Bl staining was performed for morphometry. All of the natural medicines induced a higher ALP activity compared to negative control, especially, Cortex Eucommiae increased an ALP activity in all experimental groups (p<0.05). In naphthol AS-Bl staining, all of the natural medicines of this study increased the stained area compared to negative control. Especially, Cortex Eucommiae and Eupoly phaga showed statistical significance compared to negative control (p<0.05). These results indicate that Cortex Eucommiae, Eupoly phaga, Semen Cuscutae, Halloysitum Rubrum have an inducing ability of ALP synthesis on osteoblasts.

Yam extracts (Dioscorea batatas) have been reported to possess a variety of functions. However, studies on its osteogenic properties are limited. In this study, we investigated the effect of ethanol and water extracts on osteoblast proliferation and bone matrix protein synthesis, type I collagen and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), using osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cell model. MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured with yam ethanol and water extracts (0~30 mg/L) within 39 days of osteoblast differentiation period. Cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay. Bone matrix proteins were assessed by the accumulation of type I collagen and ALP activity by staining the cell layers for matrix staining. Also, the secreted (media) matrix protein concentration (type I collagen) and enzyme activity (ALP) were measured colorimetrically. Yam ethanol and water extracts stimulated cell proliferation within the range of 15~30 mg/L at 15 day treatment. The accumulation of type I collagen in the extracellular matrix, as well as secreted collagen in the media, increased with increasing doses of yam ethanol (3~15 mg/L) and water (3~30 mg/L) extracts. ALP activity was not affected by yam ethanol extracts. Our results demonstrated that yam extracts stimulated osteoblast proliferation and enhanced the accumulation of the collagenous bone matrix protein type I collagen in the extracellular matrix. These results suggest that yam extracts may be a potential activator for bone formation by increasing osteoblast proliferation and increasing bone matrix protein type I collagen. Before confirming the osteogenic action of yam, further studies for clarifying how and whereby yam extracts can stimulate this ostegenesis action are required.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of bisphosphonates (BPs) on the proliferation and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), and thus state its correlation with bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). Methods: hMSCs was obtained by collecting and culturing cancellous bone fragments from a patient undergoing iliac bone graft. Alendronate (Aln) and Pamidronate (Pam), Ibandronate (Ibn) were added to the culture media in the concentration from $10^{-3}$ M to $10^{-11}$ M and cell toxicity, viability were measured. For ALP activity evaluation, Aln and Pam were added to the culture media in the concentration from $5{\times}10^{-7}$ M to $1{\times}10^{-8}$ M and were cultured for 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 weeks. ALP activity data were standardized using protein assay. Control groups were prepared for each examination. Results: Aln, Pam and Ibn all failed to increase the proliferation of hMSCs. With 1 week, 2 weeks of $5{\times}10^{-8}$M of Aln treatment, the ALP activity increased. Pam treatment increased the ALP activity with 2 weeks of $5{\times}10^{-8}$ M and$1{\times}10^{-8}$M. Also Ibn treatment increased the ALP activity with 2 weeks of $5{\times}10^{-8}$ M and $1{\times}10^{-8}$ M. Conclusion: It is considered that BPs are not capable of improving the proliferation of hMSCs. Also, after a transient increase in the ALP activity with the lower concentration of BPs, the activity decreased again. Therefore, in patients on long-term medication of BPs, the proliferation and osteoblast differentiation of hMSCs are restrained, and thus delayed wound healing and increase in BRONJ complications may occur.

Testosterone과 cyclic AMP(cAMP)가 부정소에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 흰쥐의 복강내로 testosterone 및 cAMP를 투여하여 acid phosphatase(ACP),alkaline phosphatase(ALP), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)의 활성도를 측정하였으며 상피세포내 미세구조의 변화를 전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 그 결과 거세한 실험군에서 ACP활성도는 거세 후 3일째까지 감소하기 시작하였으며 ALP활성도는 5일째,LDH활성도는 7일째부터 각각 감소하였다. 또한 거세 후 14일째 부터 testosterone을 7일간 투여한 경우 ACP와 ALP의 활성도는 5일간 계속 투여하였을 때,LDH의 활성도는 7일간 계속 투여하였을 때만 각각 유의성있게 증가하였다. cAMP 및 cAMP-theophyllin을 투여한 경우 LDH 및 ACP의 활성도가 증가하였으나 그 증가폭은 큰 의미가 없었다. ALP의 활성도는 두 가지의 경우에서 모두 증가를 나타내었다. 미세구조를 관찰한 결과는 거세한 실험군에서 골지체가 점차 변형되어 층상구조가 없어지며 미토콘드리아도 파괴되었고 상당수 존재하던 부동모 (stereocilia)도 파괴되었다. 이 경우 testosterone투여시 파괴되었던 고리지체, 미토콘드리아 및 부동모가 회복되었고 cAMP 및 cAMP-theophyllin 을 투여하였을 때는 골지체 및 여러 세포기관들이 대조군과 같은 수준으로 회복되었으나 부동모는 거세군과 같은 수준으로 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과는 부정소액에서 정자성숙시 나타나는 효소활성도 증가와 유사하게 나타났는데, 이것은 정자↔부정소액↔부정소 상피세포 와 같은 상호작용을 통하여 정자성숙이 이루어지며 이는 상피세포에서 합성된 물질이 부정소내 강으로 방출된다는 것을 의미하며 cAMP를 처리하였을 경우 효소활성도 증가 및 여러 세포소기관의 회복 등 testosterone과 유사한 작용을 나타내는 것은 cAMP가 웅성호르몬 작용시 화확적으로 전달자로 작용할 수 있다는 가능성을 나타내는 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to probe the influences of NaF oral administration on a dose-effect relationship between fluoride levels of serum enzyme activity such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in rats fed experimental diets for 5 weeks. All groups increased the activity of serum ALP, AST, ALT, and LDH levels with increasing NaF. In addition the fluoride levels of serum and organ tissues (liver, brain, heart, lung, kidney) in oral NaF groups (NF3~NF50) were significantly increased by adding sodium fluoride in comparison with normal diet group (ND) (p<0.05). These results, a high concentration of sodium fluoride was determined that the toxicity to various organ tissues.

Purpose: This study investigated the effect of electroacupuncture stimulation on changes in blood biochemistry in spinal cord injury (SCI) rats whose cords were damaged by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). Methods: Twenty-one Sprague-Dawley adult male rats were assigned to one of three groups: normal (n=7), control (n=7) and experimental group (n=7). The experimental group received electroacupuncture (Es-160, ITO, Japan) for 15 minutes in the form of low frequency (2 Hz) stimulation to the zusanli point. After treatment, we observed motor behavior recovery using the inclined plane test. We also measured serum and CNS concentrations and activities of enzymes including creatine kinase (CK), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and Immunoglobulin G (IgG). Statistical analysis was done using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: Concentrations of CK, ALP and IgG were lower in the experimental group than in the control group. Functional recovery was evaluated by the maximal angle of the inclined board on which rats could maintain their initial position. This allowed us to monitor progressive locomotor recovery. The maximal angles of the inclined plane test were higher in the experimental group than in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that electroacupuncture to the zusanli point has a therapeutic effect on functional recovery after SCI.
