The cellular and molecular toxicity of lead in primary and clonal osteoblastic bone cells
Abstract
First, steady state kinetic models of lead metabolism and calcium homeostasis were developed in both primary and clonal osteoblastic bone cells. Secondly, the effect of lead on cellular calcium homeostasis was determined. Finally, the effect of lead on 1,25 (OH){sub 2}D{sub 3} induced production of osteocalcin, a protein synthesized and secreted by osteoblasts, was investigated. Lead metabolism in osteoblastic bone cells was characterized by three intracellular pools. The largest of these, S{sub 3}, included mitochondrial lead and accounted for 70 percent of total cell lead in primary osteoblastic bone cells and 85 percent of total lead in clonal osteoblastic bone cells. None of the kinetic pools were saturated at lead concentrations up to 100 {mu}M lead. Calcium homeostasis in osteoblastic bone cells was also described by a three compartment, intracellular kinetic model.
