Popis: Fish scale is a calcified tissue that contains osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and bone matrix, all of which are similar to those found in mammalian bone. Recently, we developed a new in vitro model system using goldfish scale. This system can detect the activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts with AlkaLine Phosphatase (ALP) and Tartrate-Resistant Acid Phosphatase (TRAP) as the respective markers and analyze the co-relationship between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Using this system, we indicated that osteoblastic and osteoclastic activities in the scale responded to the simulated microgravity with a three-dimensional clinostat. As these activities in the scale did not change by the stimulation with a two-dimensional clinostat, we believe that the response to simulated microgravity in the scale osteoblasts and osteoclasts is a specific phenomenon. In addition, we analyzed the bone metabolism under 2-, 4-, and 7-gravity (G) loading with a centrifuge and compared them with the control (1-G). The osteoblastic activity significantly increased under 2- and 4-G loading. This activity increased remarkably under 7-G loading. On the other hand, we found that the osteoclastic activity significantly decreased under 2-G loading. Under 4-G loading, there was no significant difference between G-loaded scales and control scales. The osteoclastic activity tended to increase under 7-G loading. These results were similar to our previous study of acceleration by vibration. With the goal of developing a drug for bone diseases, the effect of novel bromomelatonin derivatives on osteoblasts and osteoclasts was examined. All bromomelatonin derivatives had an inhibitory action on osteoclasts. In particular, 1-benzyl-2, 4, 6-tribromomelatonin (benzyl-tribromomelatonin) possessed a stronger activity than melatonin. In reference to osteoblasts, all bromomelatonin derivatives had a stimulatory action. In addition, estrogen receptor mRNA (messenger Ribonucleic Acid) expression (an osteoblastic marker) was increased in benzyl-tribromomelatonin (10(exp -7) M)-treated scales. Therefore, this chemical will be useful to treat bone diseases, such as those experienced in space flight.
