| Abstract | |
The regulation of bone remodeling is intermediated by local and systemic factors. The cytokines are among the local factors: Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B Ligand (RANKL), present in osteoblasts, and Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B (RANK), present in osteoclasts, in addition to other cytokines such as Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α) that can act in the process of bone deposition and/or resorption in vivo. Hormones are among the systemic factors involved in bone remodeling, estrogen (E2) and triiodothyronine (T3). The aim of the study was to verify the action of E2, infraphysiological (simulating menopause) and T3, supraphysiological (simulating hyperthyroidism) in human osteoblasts derived from mesenchymal stem cells (CTMs) in the protein synthesis of RANKL and TNF-α. Osteoblasts were incubated during 72 hours in the presence of E2 at physiological dose (E2F/10 -8 M) and infraphysiological (E2I/10 -9 M), and T3 at physiological (T3F/10 -9 M) and supraphysiological (T3S/10-8 M) and quantified the bone mineralized matrix and the protein synthesis of RANKL and TNF-α by Western Blot. Statistical analysis of the data was performed by the ANOVA variance test complemented by the Tukey test, and the significance level was considered p<0.05. The treatment of E2F in E2F dose (1.96 ± 0.48, p<0.05) and E2I (3.18 ± 0.31; p <0.001) increased RANKL protein synthesis compared to control (C) (1.00 ± 0.32), and TNF-α in the dose of E2F (3.61 ± 0.45; p<0.05) and E2I (2.45 ± 0.07; p <0.05) also increased in relation to C (1.13 ± 0.19). As with E2, T3 increased RANKL protein levels in T3F (1.18 ± 0.10, p <0.05) and T3S (1.14 ± 0.004; p <0.05) compared to control (1 , 00 ± 0.02), but TNF-α decreased in dose T3S (0.82 ± 0.09; p <0.05) related to T3F (1.00 ± 0.09) and C (0, 99 ± 0.04). Thus, E2I decreased the bone mineralized matrix and increased the synthesis of both proteins studied which leads to speculation that bone resorption observed at menopause by RANKL and TNF-α pathway. On the other hand, in the mimicry of hyperthyroidism with T3S, we observed a reduction of the bone mineralized matrix, suppression of TNF-α protein synthesis and increase of RANKL, which leads us to infer that the mechanism of action for bone resorption in hyperthyroidism is by RANKL.
