Abstract:
Objective:To study the effect of simvastatin on PTHrP stimulated osteoclastic resorption of murine calvarium and bone anabolism in vitro. Methods:Osteoclasts were isolated from bone marrow of Balb/C mice,cultured and identified.Calvaria of the new born Balb/C mice were cultured with PTHrP at 45 ng/ml and/or simvastatin at 10~ -7 -10~ -5 mol/L for 8 d.Ca~ 2+ and ALP in the culture supernatent were measured by atom spectrophotometer and automatic biochemical analyzer respectively.The bones were examined histologically.Results:Simvastatin at 10~ -7 -10~ -5 mol/L inhibited osteoclast formation and the osteoclastic bone resorption stimulated by PTHrP in vitro and reduced the release of Ca~ 2+ from the cultured osteoclasts in a dose-dependent manner. Simvastatin increased the ALP activities and bone mineralization of murines calvaria cultured in vitro. Conclusions:Simvastatin may inhibit the osteoclasric resorption stimulated by PTHrP and promote bone mineralization in vitro.
