Abstract
Cultured human primary osteoblasts reproduce the phenotypic differentiation and maturation of cells in vivo. We have investigated the influence of three isoforms of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3), three fibroblast growth factors (FGF-2, FGF-4 and FGF-6) and the active metabolite of Vitamin D [1,25-(OH)2D3] on proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralization of human osteoblasts during a period of 24 days of culture. TGF-β isoforms and three FGFs examined have been proved to be inducers of osteoblasts proliferation (higher extent for TGF-β and FGF-2) and inhibitors of alkaline phosphatase activity and osteoblasts mineralization. Combination of these growth factors with the active form of Vitamin D induced osteodifferentiation. In fact Vitamin D showed an additive effect on alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium content, induced by FGF-2 and TGF-β in human osteoblast. These results highlight the potential of proliferating cytokines’ combination with mineralizing agents for in vitro bone growth induction in bone tissue engineering.
