Abstract
Bone turnover diseases are exceptionally prevalent in human and come with a high burden on physical health. While these diseases are associated with a variety of risk factors and causes, they are all characterized by common denominators, that is, abnormalities in the function or number of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and/or osteocytes. As such, much effort has been deployed in the recent years to understand the signaling mechanisms of bone cell proliferation and differentiation with the objectives of exploiting the intermediates involved as therapeutic preys. Ion transport systems at the external and in the intracellular membranes of osteoblasts and osteoclasts also play an important role in bone turnover by coordinating the movement of Ca2+ , PO4 2- , and H+ ions in and out of the osseous matrix. Even if they sustain the terminal steps of osteoformation and osteoresorption, they have been the object of very little attention in the last several years. Members of the cation-Cl- cotransporter (CCC) family are among the systems at work as they are expressed in bone cells, are known to affect the activity of Ca2+ -, PO4 2- -, and H+ -dependent transport systems and have been linked to bone mass density variation in human. In this review, the roles played by the CCCs in bone remodeling will be discussed in light of recent developments and their potential relevance in the treatment of skeletal disorders.

Abstract
The identification of a gain-of-function mutation in CACNA1C as the cause of Timothy syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by cardiac arrhythmias and syndactyly, highlighted roles for the L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channel CaV1.2 in nonexcitable cells. Previous studies in cells and animal models had suggested that several voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs) regulated critical signaling events in various cell types that are not expected to support action potentials, but definitive data were lacking. VGCCs occupy a special position among ion channels, uniquely able to translate membrane excitability into the cytoplasmic Ca2+ changes that underlie the cellular responses to electrical activity. Yet how these channels function in cells not firing action potentials and what the consequences of their actions are in nonexcitable cells remain critical questions. The development of new animal and cellular models and the emergence of large data sets and unbiased genome screens have added to our understanding of the unanticipated roles for VGCCs in nonexcitable cells. Here, we review current knowledge of VGCC regulation and function in nonexcitable tissues and cells, with the goal of providing a platform for continued investigation.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3) are important factors in Ca(2+) homeostasis, and promote osteoclastogenesis by modulating receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) mRNA expression. However, their contribution to RANKL intracellular transport (RANKLiT), including the trigger for RANKL lysosomal vesicle (RANKL-lv) fusion to the cell membrane, is unclear. In neurons, depolarization of membrane potential increases the intracellular Ca(2+) level ([Ca(2+)]i) and promotes neurotransmitter release via fusion of the synaptic vesicles to the cell membrane. To determine whether membrane depolarization also regulates cellular processes such as RANKLiT in MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts (OBs), we generated a light-sensitive OB cell line and developed a system for altering their membrane potential via delivery of a blue light stimulus. In the membrane fraction of RANKL-overexpressing OBs, PTH and VD3 increased the membrane-bound RANKL (mbRANKL) level at 10 min after application without affecting the mRNA expression level, and depolarized the cell membrane while transiently increasing [Ca(2+)]i. In our novel OB line stably expressing the channelrhodopsin-wide receiver, blue light-induced depolarization increased the mbRANKL level, which was reversed by treatment of blockers for L-type voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels and Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum. In co-cultures of osteoclast precursor-like RAW264.7 cells and light-sensitive OBs overexpressing RANKL, light stimulation induced an increase in tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity and promoted osteoclast differentiation. These results indicate that depolarization of the cell membrane is a trigger for RANKL-lv fusion to the membrane and that membrane potential contributes to the function of OBs. In addition, the non-genomic action of VD3-induced RANKL-lv fusion included the membrane-bound VD3 receptor (1,25D3-MARRS receptor). Elucidating the mechanism of RANKLiT regulation by PTH and VD3 will be useful for the development of drugs to prevent bone loss in osteoporosis and other bone diseases.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) potently activates cAMP-protein kinase A (PKA)-driven molecular cascades in osteoblasts. The NR4A/NGFI-B orphan nuclear receptor (NR) Nurr1 is a PTH-induced, cAMP-responsive primary response gene (PRG) that transactivates osteocalcin (Ocn) expression through a putative NGFI-B response element (NBRE) in the proximal promoter. As a true orphan NR, Nurr1's expression level and coactivator recruitment regulate its transactivation capacity. We postulated that Nurr1's induction through cAMP-PKA signaling might favor a coactivator that is likewise cAMP-dependent. A possible candidate is the cAMP-inducible coactivator PPARgamma coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1alpha). We hypothesize that PGC-1alpha is a PTH-induced PRG that synergizes with Nurr1 to induce target gene transcription in osteoblasts. We show that 10 nM PTH for 2 h maximally induced PGC-1alpha mRNA in primary mouse osteoblasts (MOBs) and calvariae. Selective signaling agonists and antagonists demonstrated that PTH induced PGC-1alpha mRNA primarily through the cAMP-PKA pathway. Protein synthesis inhibition sustained PTH-induced PGC-1alpha expression. PGC-1alpha enhanced Nurr1-induced transactivation of a consensus 3xNBRE-luciferase construct and the rat (-1050)Ocn promoter-luciferase construct from 3.7- to 9.6- and 10.1-fold, respectively. This synergy required Nurr1-DNA binding, since a mutation of the Ocn promoter NBRE abolished both Nurr1- and Nurr1-PGC-1alpha-induced transactivation. Using GST pull-down assays, PGC-1alpha directly interacted with in vitro-generated and nuclear Nurr1. We conclude that PGC-1alpha is a PTH-induced, cAMP-dependent PRG that directly synergizes with Nurr1 to transactivate target genes in osteoblasts. Taken together with published data, our findings suggest that Nurr1 and PGC-1alpha may be pivotal mediators of cAMP-induced osteoblast gene expression and osteoblast function.

Abstract
Excess adiposity over the pre- and postmenopausal years is linked to risk of postmenopausal breast cancer. Weight loss could potentially reduce risk amongst those with excess weight via beneficial effects on the hormonal (decreased circulating levels of oestradiol, testosterone, insulin) and secretory profiles of adipocytes (decreased production of leptin, tumour necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin 6 and increased production of adiponectin). Only modest reductions in adipose tissue are achieved and sustained with current weight loss programmes, which makes strategies to mitigate the adverse metabolic effect of adiposity a priority for cancer prevention. The adverse hormonal and secretory effects of adipose tissue are influenced substantially by acute changes in energy balance prior to changes in adiposity. Human and animal studies have shown dietary energy restriction to bring about favourable changes in circulating levels of insulin, leptin, sex hormone binding globulin, insulin-like growth factor-1, oestradiol, testosterone, reactive oxygen species, and the production and secretion of locally acting adipokines and inflammatory cytokines, that is, increased adiponectin and decreased interleukin-6. Achieving and sustaining energy restriction remains a difficult challenge. Intermittent energy restriction is a potential strategy for promoting periods of energy restriction on a long-term basis. Animal and human data suggest that intermittent energy restriction may have cancer preventative effects beyond that of chronic energy restriction and weight loss. Intermittent energy restriction may be a potential strategy for the primary prevention of breast cancer.

Abstract
Previous reports have suggested the involvement of voltage-activated calcium (Ca2+) channels in bone metabolism and in particular on the secretion of osteocalcin by osteoblast-like cells. We now report that potassium (K+) channels can also modulate the secretion of osteocalcin by MG-63 cells, a human osteosarcoma cell line. When 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(1,25(OH)2D3)-treated MG-63 cells were depolarized by step increases of the extracellular K+ concentration ([K+]out) from 5-30 mM, osteocalcin (OC) secretion increased from a control value of 218 +/- 13 to 369 +/- 18 ng/mg of protein/48 h (p < 0.005 by analysis of variance). In contrast, in the absence of 1,25(OH)2D3, there is no osteocalcin secretion nor any effect of cell depolarization on this activity. The depolarization-induced increase in 1,25(OH)2D3-dependent osteocalcin secretion was totally inhibited in the presence of 10 microM Nitrendipine (a Ca2+ channel blocker, p < 0.005) without affecting cellular alkaline phosphatase nor cell growth. Charybdotoxin, a selective blocker of Ca2+-dependent K+ channels (maxi-K) present in MG-63 cells, stimulated 1,25(OH)2D3-induced osteocalcin synthesis about 2-fold (p < 0.005) after either 30, 60, or 120 minutes of treatment. However, Charybdotoxin was without effect on basal release of osteocalcin in the absence of 1,25(OH)2D3 pretreatment. Using patch clamp technique, we occasionally observed the presence of a small conductance K+ channel, compatible with an ATP-dependent K+ channel (GK[ATP]) in nonstimulated cells, whereas multiple channel openings were observed when cells were treated with Diazoxide, a sulfonamide derivative which opens GK(ATP). Western blot analysis revealed the presence of the N-terminal peptide of GK(ATP) in MG-63 cells, and its expression was regulated with the proliferation rate of these cells, maximal detection by Western blots being observed during the logarithmic phase of the cycle. Glipizide and Glybenclamide, selective sulfonylureas which can block GK(ATP), dose-dependently enhanced 1,25(OH)2D3-induced OC secretion (p < 0.005). Reducing the extracellular calcium concentration with EGTA (microM range) totally inhibited the effect of Glipizide and Glybenclamide on osteocalcin secretion (p < 0.005), which remained at the same levels as controls. Diazoxide totally prevented the effect of these sulfonylureas. These results suggest that voltage-activated Ca2+ channels triggered via cell depolarization can enhance 1,25(OH)2D3-induced OC release by MG-63 cells. In addition, OC secretion is increased by blocking two types of K+ channels: maxi-K channels, which normally hyperpolarize cells and close Ca2+ channels, and GK(ATP) channels. The role of these channels is closely linked to the extracellular Ca2+ concentration.

Abstract
Intercellular gap junctions permit bone cells to intercellularly transmit, and subsequently process, periosteal functional matrix information, after its initial intracellular mechanotransduction. In addition, gap junctions, as electrical synapses, underlie the organization of bone tissue as a connected cellular network, and the fact that all bone adaptation processes are multicellular. The structural and operational characteristics of such biologic networks are outlined and their specific bone cell attributes described. Specifically, bone is "tuned" to the precise frequencies of skeletal muscle activity. The inclusion of the concepts and databases that are related to the intracellular and intercellular bone cell mechanisms and processes of mechanotransduction and the organization of bone as a biologic connected cellular network permit revision of the functional matrix hypothesis, which offers an explanatory chain, extending from the epigenetic event of muscle contraction hierarchically downward to the regulation of the bone cell genome.

Abstract
The membrane properties of cultured cells of rabbit articular chondrocytes were studied using the whole-cell patch clamp technique. The average cell capacitance was 37.9 +/- 9.0 pF (n = 13), and the cell resting potential was -41.0 +/- 7.0 mV (n = 11). We were unable to induce an action potential by applying a depolarizing current. Upon step depolarization, under voltage clamp conditions, one kind of inward and two kinds of outward currents were elicited. The inward current was initially observed at around -30 mV, peaked at 0 mV, and reversed at around +90 mV. Tetrodotoxin (TTX; 1 microM) was shown to completely block this inward current. At steady state, the inward current was half-inactivated at -51 mV, with a slope factor of 6.3 mV. Two outward currents were determined from measurements of activation threshold, reversal potential, and pharmacological responses. One was observed at around -30 mV, and its amplitude increased with membrane depolarization. Extracellularly applied 4-aminopyridine (4 AP) (1 mM) and tetraethyl ammonium chloride (TEA) (5 mM) blocked this current. The other outward current was observed at around +10 mV, and its direction reversed at a potential close to that predicted by the Nernst equation for a Cl- selective channel. This current fluctuated markedly, and the fluctuation did not decline throughout the 100 ms of the step pulse. Extracellularly applied 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbenezene-2,2-disulfonic acid (SITS) (0.25 mM) blocked this current, but the same dose of 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) had little effect. These results suggest the presence of TTX-sensitive Na+, 4-AP- and TEA-sensitive K+, and SITS-sensitive Cl- channels in rabbit articular chondrocyte membrane. The functional significance of these channels is discussed.

Abstract
The cessation of menstrual function in the female athlete may reflect her inability to adapt to the environmental and lifestyle stressors associated with training and competition. As society's emphasis on thinness, dieting, and exercise continues to increase, so will the incidence of menstrual dysfunction in active females. Unfortunately, some individuals view athletic menstrual dysfunction as a benign consequence of strenuous exercise. Conversely, it is most likely a strong indicator of overtraining and a marker for future decrements in performance, and it can have long-term health consequences. Thus, it is imperative that the active female be appropriately educated regarding the adverse consequences of menstrual dysfunction and the interventions available. This paper focuses on the most current information regarding athletic menstrual dysfunction and its multifactorial etiology, especially the role of energy drain. In addition, common misconceptions, adverse health and performance effects, and available treatment options are discussed.

Abstract
Expression of the IsK protein in Xenopus oocytes induced the characteristically slow, voltage-dependent outward currents. Superfusion with the parathyroid hormone (PTH) peptide 1-34 had no effect on IsK when expressed alone, but increased IsK when IsK was coexpressed with the PTH-receptor. PTH receptor stimulation caused a shift of IsK conductance-voltage relationship to more negative potentials, and a decrease of both the rate of IsK activation and deactivation. IsK regulation by PTH was independent of extracellular Ca2+, and was also present IsK protein mutants lacking the protein kinase C consensus site. However, regulation of IsK by PTH was mimicked by activators of protein kinase A (PKA) and greatly reduced in the presence of the kinase inhibitors staurosporine and H89. These results suggest that PTH regulates IsK by a mechanism involving phosphorylation independent of protein kinase C (PKC). Such regulation may play a role in proximal tubule cells of the kidney, where both PTH receptor and the IsK protein are expressed.

Abstract
The functional role of the rat parathyroid hormone(PTH)/PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) receptor's carboxyl-terminal region was characterized by comparing the binding and signaling properties of receptors that have 78 and 111 amino acid deletions (R513 and R480, respectively), with those of the 591-amino acid wild-type (WT) receptor. R480 and R513 have 4- and 1.5-fold lower apparent Kd values for rat PTH-(1-34) (rPTH), compared with the WT receptor (WT, 1.81 +/- 0.19 nM; R513, 1.24 +/- 0.12 nM; R480, 0.48 +/- 0.05 nM, mean +/- S.E.). PTH (100 nM)-stimulated cAMP accumulation and polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis both correlated positively with receptor expression. However, whereas PTH-stimulated polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis was indistinguishable among WT and either truncated mutant at comparable levels of expressed receptors, maximal PTH-stimulated cAMP accumulation was 4-6- and 2-3-fold higher in cells expressing R480 and R513, respectively. Furthermore, pretreatment of COS-7 cells with 100 ng/ml of pertussis toxin (PTX) enhanced PTH-stimulated cAMP accumulation in cells expressing the WT receptor, but failed to do so in cells expressing either R480 or R513. Thus, sequences in the PTH/PTHrP receptor's carboxyl-terminal tail lower the affinity of the WT receptor for agonist; directly interact with, or indirectly facilitate the interaction of the receptor with a PTX-sensitive G protein that inhibits adenylyl cyclase; and decrease the efficacy with which the receptor interacts with Gs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vasodilator drugs have variable effects on veins and arteries. However, direct measurements of their effects on the splanchnic veins, perhaps the most important volume reservoir, have not been reported. We assessed the effect of acute heart failure and the subsequent administration of hydralazine, enalaprilat, and nitroglycerin on the splanchnic venous pressure-volume relation in intact dogs. METHODS AND RESULTS Experimental acute ischemic heart failure was induced in 19 splenectomized dogs by microsphere embolization of the left main coronary artery. Embolization was repeated until left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) reached 20 mm Hg and cardiac output decreased by 50%. The splanchnic vascular pressure-volume relation was determined by radionuclide plethysmography during the control stage, after acute heart failure had been established, and after administration of a vasodilator (hydralazine, enalaprilat, or nitroglycerin) at a dose sufficient to reduce mean aortic pressure by approximately 20%. Induction of acute heart failure was associated with a decrease in the splanchnic vascular volume from 100% to 86 +/- 2% and an increase in LVEDP from 6 +/- 1 to 21 +/- 1 mm Hg (P < .001). There was a parallel leftward shift of the splanchnic vascular pressure-volume curve. After the administration of hydralazine, enalaprilat, and nitroglycerin, the splanchnic vascular volumes increased from 86% to 88 +/- 3%, 96 +/- 3%, and 113 +/- 3%, respectively (P = NS, P < .01, and P < .001, respectively, versus heart failure). After drug administration, the LVEDPs were 18 +/- 2, 16 +/- 1, and 13 +/- 1 mm Hg (P = NS, P < .05, and P < .001, respectively, versus heart failure). CONCLUSIONS Acute heart failure was associated with a parallel leftward shift of the splanchnic venous pressure-volume relation (venoconstriction). Splanchnic (systemic) venoconstriction may in part explain the increased LVEDP during acute heart failure by displacement of blood to the central compartment. Subsequently administered enalaprilat and, to a greater degree, nitroglycerin produced splanchnic venodilation, thereby lowering LVEDP. Hydralazine had no significant effect on the splanchnic veins and only a modest effect on LVEDP. In this model, splanchnic capacitance changes appear to modulate change in left ventricular preload.

Abstract
The present study evaluates differential occurrence of voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCC) in the membranes of fetal (FROB) and neonatal (NROB) calvarian rat osteoblastic cells in primary culture. The intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was monitored upon depolarization of the cell membrane with the use of high K+ containing extracellular solutions. [Ca2+]i was measured in populations of cells as well as in individual cells using Fura-2, whereas the membrane potential (Em) was recorded in parallel experiments using patch-clamp techniques. Increasing the extracellular K+ concentration resulted in an instantaneous depolarization of Em of both FROB and NROB. This depolarization of Em did not significantly affect [Ca2+]i of populations of FROB and neonatal osteoblast precursors (NpROB). In contrast to FROB and NpROB, NROB populations responded to depolarization with significant transient [Ca2+]i increases that could be blocked by the calcium antagonist verapamil and were absent if extracellular Na+ was replaced for choline instead of K+. In individual cell measurements, response frequencies as well as the magnitude of [Ca2+]i responses upon depolarization of NROB were much higher than those of FROB, suggesting that more NROB than FROB possess VDCC. This phenomenon might point to a development-related expression of VDCC in the membranes of osteoblast-like cells.

Abstract
Primary cultures of osteoblast-like cells (OB) derived from calvarial fragments of newborn rats and juvenile guinea pigs formed numerous gap junctions between neighboring cells in vitro. Intracellular injection of Lucifer yellow led to a staining of up to 30 adjacent cells. Parallel intracellular recordings showed that amplitudes of stimulated membrane potential changes (4-5 mV) were closely related between coupled cells. The coupling factor, which was derived from the ratio of these amplitudes, ranged between 0.1 and 0.8. The coupling factor (1) was not dependent on the membrane potential or the injected current strength; (2) strong acidosis (pH < 6.6) and hypercapnia (pCO2 > 80 mm Hg) did not affect electric or dye coupling; (3) elevation of intracellular cAMP level was ineffective; (4) rise of the extra- and intracellular Ca2+ concentration did not effect the electric coupling; (5) the anticonvulsant drugs carbamazepine and phenytoin impaired the coupling factor up to 59%. The findings show that cell-cell communication between OB via gap junctions proved stable under various conditions which, in other tissues, were found to reduce the coupling strength of gap junctions.

Abstract
A high-conductance K(+)-selective ion channel was studied in excised membrane patches from human G292 osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cells. Channel conductance averaged approximately 170 pS in symmetric solutions of 153 mM KCl, and approximately 135 pS when the pipette was filled with standard saline (150 mM NaCl). The probability of the channel being in an open state (Popen) increased with membrane potential, internal calcium, and applied negative pressure. At pCa7, channel activity was observed at membrane potentials greater than approximately 60 mV, while at pCa3, channel activity was seen at approximately 10 mV. Likewise, in the absence of applied pressure, channel openings were rare (Popen = 0.02), whereas with -3 cm Hg applied pressure, Popen increased to approximately 0.40. In each case, i.e., voltage, calcium concentration, and pressure, the increase in Popen resulted from a decrease in the duration of long-closed (interburst) intervals and an increase in the duration of long-open (burst) intervals. Whole-cell responses were consistent with these findings. Hypotonic shock produced an increase in the amplitude and conductance of the outward macroscopic current and a decrease in its rise time, and both single-channel and whole-cell currents were blocked by barium. It is suggested that the voltage-gated, calcium dependent maxi-K+ channel in G292 osteoblastic cells is sensitive to membrane stretch and may be directly involved in osmoregulation of these cells. Further, stretch sensitivity of the maxi-K+ channel in osteotrophic cells may represent an adaptation to stresses associated with mechanical loading of mineralized tissues.

Abstract
We used two techniques to study the responses of individual in vitro bone nodule cells to parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin (CT). These techniques are laser scanning confocal imaging with a fluorescent indicator to measure intracellular free [Ca2+], and microelectrode impalement to measure the electrical potential difference across the cell membrane. We applied these measurement techniques to cells in the top cellular layer of nodules that form in vitro in cultures of cells obtained from fetal rat calvaria. Our measurements showed a transient increase in intracellular free [Ca2+] following application of PTH or CT. The duration of the increase in fluorescent intensity following PTH application varied from about 100 to more than 300 s, and the duration following CT application was from 30 to 80 s. In some measurements we applied both hormones in sequence, and observed that some cells showed an intracellular [Ca2+] response to both hormones, while other cells apparently responded to only one or the other of the hormones, or to neither. We also observed membrane potential changes in response to PTH and to CT. The membrane potential response to CT was quite small. The time courses of these membrane potential changes consisted of a depolarizing phase lasting about 100 s (with both hormones) followed by a hyperpolarizing phase (with PTH). Control measurements using only the vehicle solutions were carried out with both techniques, producing negligible responses.

Abstract
The structure of gap junctions in osteoblast-like cells (OBs) and the connexins (cx) that build up these structures were characterized by ultrastructural, immunocytochemical, and molecular techniques. Ultrastructural studies revealed numerous gap junctions which were mostly located on processes of neighboring cells. Immunofluorescence labeling using two different antibodies (specific to mouse live cx26 and cx32 and to a peptide-specific rat heart gap junction protein cx43) gave evidence that in OBs, gap junctions consist mainly of cx43. The presence of cx43 in cultured OB was also confirmed by Western blot analysis. Dye-coupling with Lucifer yellow led to a staining of up to 30 neighboring cells. Parallel intracellular recordings showed that membrane potential amplitude changes (4-5 mV) are typically related to those in the coupled cells. Thus, there is morphological and functional evidence for intercellular communication between OB in culture. OBs in culture express the same connexins as observed in vivo and may serve as a model to investigate electrophysiological events in response to different stimulation signals.

Abstract
UMR 106 rat osteogenic sarcoma cells were studied with the whole cell patch clamp technique to investigate the presence of voltage-gated inward currents. In barium (Ba2+)-containing medium, depolarizing jumps revealed both transient (T-type) and sustained (L-type) Ba2+ currents. The L-type component was dihydropyridine-sensitive: the agonist Bay K 8644 increased the amplitude of the L-type Ba2+ current. A new dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, S 11568 ((+/-)-2(2-[2-(aminoethoxy)ethoxyl]methyl)4-(2',3'- dichlorophenyl)3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-1,4- dihydropyridine, and its enantiomers, S 12967 ((+)-S 11568) and S 12968 ((-)-S 11568), inhibited the L-type Ba2+ current. IC50 values at a holding potential (VH) of -50 mV were 90 nM for S 11568, 800 nM for S 12967 and 45 nM for S 12968. At VH = -80 mV, S 12968 was less potent (IC50 near 500 nM). In contrast, S 12968 was without appreciable effect on the T-type component of the inward current through Ca2+ channels. Our results indicate that UMR 106 cells express both T-type and L-type Ca2+ channels and could be used to study the modulation by Ca2+ channel blocking agents, such as S 12968, of the hormonal regulation of Ca2+ fluxes across the osteoblast membrane.

Abstract
Ten healthy (aged 28 to 39) and ten heart failure NYHA II (aged 19 to 49) male subjects were prospectively studied under no drugs, under furosemide (40 mg/day), under captopril (150 mg/day) and under their association. Arterial compliance (ml/mmHg) was measured in all subjects at rest and supine. Heart failure etiology was dilated cardiomyopathy or ischemic heart disease without significant regurgitation. Arterial compliance was significantly higher in healthy than in heart failure patients in all studied conditions (p less than 0.001) (healthy = 2.2 + 0.29 vs. heart failure = 0.79 + 0.14). Neither single drug nor their association induced any change in healthy subjects. Arterial compliance progressively increased in heart failure with furosemide, captopril, and their association (no drug = 0.79 + 0.14; furosemide = 0.87 + 0.15; captopril = 0.94 + 0.15 and furosemide + captopril = 0.99 + 0.14). Captopril induced a higher increment than furosemide (p less than 0.001) and their association even a higher increment (p less than 0.001) than any single drug. Thus captopril and/or furosemide increased arterial compliance in heart failure but not in healthy subjects, possibly through changes in arterial wall edema and smooth muscle contraction.

Abstract
Trains of long-duration "action potentials" were induced by Ba2+ in osteoblast-like rat osteosarcoma cells (ROS 17/2.8), under current clamp and voltage clamp. Large depolarizing pulses were seen in microelectrode measurements at 37 degrees C following the addition of 10 or 20 mM Ba2+ to physiological bathing medium. Application of BAY K 8644 resulted in the onset of the pulses at earlier times and at more negative potentials. The pulses were blocked by nifedipine and Cd2+, but not by Ni2+. Large inward current pulses were seen in whole-cell patch technique voltage-clamp measurements at 37 degrees C in the presence of from 10 to 110 mM Ba2+ in the bathing medium. The current pulses were not seen at 22 degrees C in the presence of 110 mM Ba2+, but could be induced by BAY K 8644. These pulses were not blocked by TTX, but were blocked by nifedipine, Cd2+, Zn2+, Co2+, and by an increase in bathing [Ca2+]. The shape and frequency of the current pulses were the same as for voltage pulses under current clamp. A model that can explain these observations involves opening of L-type Ca2+ channels in a voltage-independent manner by cytosolic Ba2+ via a screening of Ca2+ from sites that produce either inactivation or a lower probability of opening in the activated state. There would be a closing of these channels at higher [Ba2+] as Ba2+ is forced onto these sites. A refractory period is also required to give repeated pulses of openings.

Abstract
Primary cultures of embryonic chick osteoblasts consist of a heterogeneous cell population. Patch clamp measurements were done on 1- to 5-day-old osteoblasts, osteocytes, fibroblastlike cells, and cells that could not be classified on morphologic criteria. The measurements showed the omnipresence of depolarization-activated high-conductance channels in cell-attached patches. The whole-cell experiments showed an outward rectifying conductance activating at positive membrane potentials. Channels underlying the latter conductance were found to be K+ conducting in outside-out membrane patches. The activation potential of the outward rectifying K+ conductance shifted to negative membrane potentials upon increasing the intracellular Ca2+ concentration within the range of 10(-8)-10(-3.2) M. The same happened with the activation potential of the K+ channels found in outside-out patches. Finally, inside-out patch experiments directly demonstrated the dependency of the activation potential of K+ channels on Ca2+ ions. Thus the identity and main characteristics of Ca2(+)-activated K+ channels expressed by the various cell types present in chick osteoblast cultures have now been established. Decreased input resistances were found in cells of cultures more than 2 days old. This is consistent with the establishment of electrical coupling between the cells. Functions in which Ca2(+)-activated K+ channels could play a role are discussed.

Abstract
Patch-clamp recording techniques were used to examine the direct effects of mechanical stimulation on ion channel activity in human osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cells. Three classes of mechanosensitive ion channels were present and could be distinguished on the basis of conductance, ionic selectivity, and sensitivity to membrane tension. The largest conductance channel (160 pS) was K(+)-selective and showed both a decrease in long closed interval duration and an increase in burst length with increasing membrane tension. For low applied pressures, there was an e-fold increase in the probability of this channel being open (Popen) for every 3.4 cm2 Hg change in pressure. Two additional pressure-dependent channels had smaller conductances, i.e., 60 pS and 20 pS; the 60 pS channel appeared to be non-selective for cations. We propose that one or more of these mechanosensitive channels is involved in the response of bone to mechanical loading.

Abstract
The membrane potentials of bone cells derived from calvaria of new born rats was shown to be strongly dependent on temperature. When we lowered the temperature from 36 degrees C to 26 degrees C, cells with spontaneous resting membrane potentials (MP) of -80 to -50 mV depolarized (mean amplitude 8 mV; n = 33), and the membrane resistance increased by approximately 80% (n = 20). The temperature response depended on the actual MP, the reversal potential being in the range of -80 to -90 mV. With the application of ouabain (0.1-1 mmol/liter; n = 12), cells depolarized. Simultaneously, the reversal potential of the temperature response was shifted towards more positive values and approached the actual MP level of the cells. Consequently, the depolarization amplitudes induced by lowering temperature were reduced at spontaneous MP levels. The rise of the membrane resistance during cooling was unaffected. When the extracellular chloride concentration was reduced from 133 to 9 mmol/liter, temperature-dependent depolarizations persisted at spontaneous MP values (n = 5). The findings indicate that the marked effects of temperature changes on the MP of bone-derived cells are mainly determined by changes of the potassium conductance.

Abstract
In primary cultures of rat osteoblasts, studied with the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique, 8-bromo-cyclic AMP (8BrcAMP) forskolin (FS) and 1-34 parathyroid hormone (PTH) were shown to activate a Cl conductance. This conductance shows a pronounced outward rectification, even with symmetrical Cl concentrations. It is blocked partially and reversibly by 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene 2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) or diphenylcarboxylate (DPC). The blockade induced by DIDS is time- and voltage-dependent. The Cl responses to FS and PTH develop slowly, after a delay of several seconds and are very slowly reversible. These responses were observed only in a fraction of the cells tested and their detection was favoured by cell dialysis. This Cl current should be taken into account for studying possible modulations of the voltage-gated Ca currents of osteoblasts. It is suggested that its physiological role may be related to the well-known morphological changes induced by PTH in osteoblasts. The cyclic AMP-sensitivity, the outward rectification and the sensitivity to dialysis of this Cl current are reminiscent of the properties of the cystic fibrosis-sensitive Cl channels of epithelial cells.

Abstract
Whole cell patch clamp studies on osteoblast-like rat osteosarcoma cells (ROS 17/2.8) show the existence of L-type calcium channels in the cell membrane. Measurements were carried out at both 21 and 37 degrees C. With isotonic CsCl in the pipette and a bathing medium containing either 110 or 10 mM Ba2+, a strong depolarizing pulse was required to activate an inward current. The current-voltage relationship (I-V) of this inward current showed a maximum amplitude near +30 mV at 21 and 37 degrees C, with 110 mM Ba2+ in the bathing medium, and near +10 mV at 37 degrees C with 10 mM Ba2+. At both 21 and 37 degrees C the dihydropyridine, BAY K 8644 (2 microM), increased this current and shifted the I-V maximum to less positive potentials, while nifedipine (5 microM) reduced the current. Cd2+ (50 microM) and Co2+ (100 microM) blocked the current. At 21 degrees C the measured inward current showed a slow inactivation, with a time constant of some hundreds of milliseconds. At 37 degrees C, inactivation was considerably faster. The current was suppressed by holding the membrane potential more positive than -30 mV. These data are strong evidence that ROS 17/2.8 cells have a significant number of 'L-type' calcium channels.

Abstract
Many cells and their cytokines produce a significant effect on bone metabolism. Bone matrix synthesis is a function of the osteoblast (Fig 1), influenced directly by numerous local and systemic factors (Tables 1 and 2). Locally synthesized factors such as SGF, BMP, and BDGF may be particularly important in stimulating new bone formation at sites of bone resorption or following bony injury. Of the systemic factors, GH; somatomedin C (IGF-1); high concentrations of insulin, testosterone, PDGF and TGF beta; and low concentrations of PGE2 and IL-1 appear to stimulate bone formation in vitro. These latter factors may be more important in maintaining skeletal growth and bone mass. Bone resorption by osteoclasts (Figs 2 and 3) is also controlled by the osteoblast, as this cell produces a leukotriene-dependent polypeptide that stimulates osteoclastic bone resorption. Osteoblasts cover the periosteal and endosteal bone-surfaces and limit exposure of the underlying bone to osteoclasts. PTH, vitamin D, PGE2, and other systemic factors interact directly with the osteoblast, not the osteoclast. Surface receptor binding of PTH increases intracellular cAMP and calcium and results in release of the factor that stimulates osteoclastic bone resorption. PGE2 induces osteoblasts to activate osteoclasts and is a major controlling factor in bone metabolism; the osteoblast produces PGE2, which can then modify osteoblastic function by positive feedback. Although low concentrations of PGE2 stimulate bone formation, higher concentrations promote osteoblast-mediated bone resorption. Furthermore, many of the systemic factors stimulate bone resorption via a PGE2-associated mechanism. Immune cytokines also appear to exert a profound influence on bone metabolism. INF-gamma inhibits osteoclastic resorption, whereas IL-1, TNF, and LT strongly stimulate bone resorption. However, low concentrations of IL-1 paradoxically result in stimulation of bone formation. These cytokines, particularly in various combinations, may prove extremely important in understanding and treating the bone loss associated with malignancies, osteoporosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
We investigated the in vitro effect of corticosteroids on the responsiveness of human cells of osteoblast lineage to parathyroid hormone (PTH). Prior to corticosteroid treatment, the cells demonstrated only a small increase in cAMP production and no measurable change in transmembrane potential in response to PTH. Exposure of cells to dexamethasone resulted in a 5-fold increase in PTH-induced cAMP production and in measurable PTH-induced membrane depolarization in all cells studied. The effect of corticosteroids on cAMP production was specific for PTH (not seen with PGE1 or forskolin), occurred in a time- and dose-dependent fashion and in the absence of cell proliferation. Most of the cells were of osteoblast lineage as determined by the presence of alkaline phosphatase activity and BGP secretion. These findings further support the idea that corticosteroids increase the sensitivity of cells of osteoblast lineage to PTH, perhaps by transforming cells which initially have a low responsiveness to PTH to a state of high responsiveness.

Abstract
Patch-clamp measurements were made on osteoblast-like cells isolated from embryonic chick calvaria. Cell-attached-patch measurements revealed two types of high conductance (100-250 pS) channels, which rapidly activated upon 50-100 mV depolarization. One type showed sustained and the other transient activation over a 10-sec period of depolarization. The single-channel conductances of these channel types were about 100 or 250 pS, depending on whether the pipettes were filled with a low K+ (3 mM) or high K+ (143 mM) saline, respectively. The different reversal potentials under these conditions were consistent with at least K+ conduction. Whole-cell measurements revealed the existence of two types of outward rectifying conductances. The first type conducts K+ ions and activates within 20-200 msec (depending on the stimulus) upon depolarizing voltage steps from less than -60 mV to greater than -30 mV. It inactivates almost completely with a time constant of 2-3 sec. Recovery from inactivation is biphasic with an initial rapid phase (1-2 sec) followed by a slow phase (greater than 20 sec). The second whole-cell conductance activates at positive membrane potentials of greater than +50 mV. It also rapidly turns on upon depolarizing voltage steps. Activation may partly disappear at the higher voltages. Its single channels of 140 pS conductance were identified in the whole cell and did conduct K+ ions but were not highly Cl- or Na+ selective. The results show that osteoblasts may express various types of voltage controlled ionic channels. We predict a role for such channels in mineral metabolism of bone tissue and its control by osteoblasts.

Abstract
Microelectrodes were used to investigate the possible involvement of cAMP and Ca2+ ions in the parathyroid hormone's, bPTH(1-34), effect on the membrane potential of rat osteoblasts in primary culture. Parathyroid hormone (10(-7) M) depolarized cell membrane by 25.0 +/- 6.1 mV (mean +/- standard deviation, SD; n = 17). Blocking Ca2+ influx with the Ca channel blocker cobalt revealed two phases in the hormone effect: a rapid and slight membrane hyperpolarization followed by sustained depolarization. In addition, cobalt significantly (p less than 0.01) decreased the magnitude of the PTH depolarizing action. The addition of dibutyryl-cAMP (10(-3) M) to the perfusion solution also resulted in a biphasic effect. At a lower concentration (10(-4) M), dibutyryl-cAMP produced only membrane hyperpolarization, suggesting a cAMP dose dependence of the opposite membrane potential changes. Forskolin (10(-5) M) and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX) (10(-4) M) mimicked the depolarizing effect of PTH. IBMX at a low concentration (5 x 10(-6) M) potentiated the depolarizing effect of PTH. Increases in [Ca2+]i using Ca2+ ionophore A23187 and intracellular injection of CaCl2 or inositol trisphosphate decreased the PTH depolarizing action, whereas intracellular injection of EGTA enhanced this effect. These results indicate that PTH evokes a biphasic change in rat osteoblast membrane potential that seems to be mediated by an increase in cAMP and modulated by intracellular calcium.

Abstract
1. The whole-cell voltage-clamp mode of the patch-clamp technique was used to investigate the presence of voltage-gated inward currents in osteoblasts from newborn rat calvaria. 2. In K+-free solutions, three kinds of inward currents could be activated by depolarization: a voltage-gated Na+ current and two different types of Ca2+ currents. 3. The Na+ current was activated by depolarization above -40 mV in all the cells. It was reduced by half by 10 nM-TTX (tetrodotoxin). 4. In an isotonic Ba2+ external solution containing TTX, and with a Cs-EGTA internal solution buffered at pCa 8, depolarizing jumps induced both a transient Ba2+ current and a sustained Ba2+ current. The relative proportions of these two currents varied greatly among cells. 5. The transient and sustained Ba2+ currents differ with respect to their time course and their voltage dependence. 6. The depolarization-activated inward currents were also observed under more physiological conditions, in the presence of only 2 mM-external Ca2+ and with a K+ internal solution buffered at pCa 7. 7. A few records obtained in current clamp showed that it is possible to induce action potentials in osteoblasts.

Abstract
Serum levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) are elevated in chronic heart failure presumably due to dilatation of the left atrium resulting from increases in intracardiac pressures. To define the time course of changes in serum ANP levels and to determine the relationship to left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, rats were subjected to coronary artery ligation to produce myocardial infarction and left ventricular failure. Atrial natriuretic peptide levels were measured weekly for four weeks thereafter. In rats with myocardial infarction and elevation of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure there was no change in ANP levels at 7 and 14 days. However, at day 21 and 28, ANP levels were elevated more than 3 fold. There was a correlation between ANP levels and left ventricular end-diastolic pressures. There was no correlation between ANP levels and right atrial pressures or serum sodium concentrations. We conclude that the chronic elevation of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure is required to produce an increase in ANP after myocardial infarction which results in chronic heart failure.
