They are also suggested to influence bone physiology and remodeling. Here we searched for effects of dexamethasone and celecoxib on crucial parameters of bone physiology that could be therapeutically relevant. METHODS: The human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63 was used to measure effects of these drugs on (i) intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) using a microfluorometric technique, (ii) alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin levels (EIA) and (iii) the expression of cox-2 mRNA (quantitative real time PCR). Measurements were performed in Vitamine D-incubated quiescent cells and in cells stimulated with TNF-alpha and IL-1beta. RESULTS: We found the cytokine-stimulation to increase [Ca2+]i which was prevented by dexamethasone already after 30 min and still after 48 h. Dexamethasone was without any effect on [Ca2+]i in quiescent cells. Celecoxib had no measurable short-term or long-term effects neither in quiescent nor in stimulated cells. Vitamin D stimulated the expression of cox-2 mRNA which was further enhanced by TNF-alpha/IL-1beta. Dexamethasone did not have any measurable effects on COX-2 expression after 30 min, but a pronounced inhibition was seen after 48 h. In contrast, celecoxib had no effect on COX-2 expression. Neither of the drugs had any effect on the secretion of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin. CONCLUSION: We found dexamethasone to inhibit the [Ca2+]i increase in MG-63 cells following stimulation and to reduce considerably COX-2 expression via the genomic pathway. In contrast, celecoxib did not show any measurable short-term or long-term effects on the parameters of bone physiology measured. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=8068 ------>authors2=None ------>authors3=None ------>authors4=None ------>authors5=None ------>authors6=None ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Tseng Sung Hui, Wang Ching Chung, Shih-Ching Chen.
