Title: Inorganic polyphosphate triggers upregulation of interleukin 11 in human osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells

Journal Article · · Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications

Polyphosphate (polyP) is abundant in bone but its roles in signaling and control of gene expression remain unclear. Here, we investigate the effect of extracellular polyP on proliferation, migration, apoptosis, gene and protein expression in human osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells. Extracellular polyP promoted SaOS-2 cell proliferation, increased rates of migration, inhibited apoptosis and stimulated the rapid phosphorylation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) directly through basic fibroblast growth factor receptor (bFGFR). cDNA microarray revealed that polyP induced significant upregulation of interleukin 11 (IL-11) at both RNA and protein levels. - Highlights: • Inorganic polyphosphate promotes osteoblast cell proliferation and migration rate. • Inorganic polyphosphate inhibits apoptosis. • Inorganic polyphosphate phosphorylates ERK. • Inorganic polyphosphate upregulates interleukin 11 at RNA and protein levels.
