Abstract

In the current study, we examined the role of gap junctions in oscillatory fluid flow-induced changes in intracellular Ca2+concentration and prostaglandin release in osteoblastic cells. This work was completed in MC3T3-E1 cells with intact gap junctional communication as well as in MC3T3-E1 cells rendered communication deficient through expression of a dominant-negative connexin. Our results demonstrate that MC3T3-E1 cells with intact gap junctions respond to oscillatory fluid flow with significant increases in prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release, whereas cells with diminished gap junctional communication do not. Furthermore, we found that cytosolic Ca2+ (Ca[Formula: see text]) response was unaltered by the disruption in gap junctional communication and was not significantly different among the cell lines. Thus our results suggest that gap junctions contribute to the PGE2 but not to the Ca[Formula: see text] response to oscillatory fluid flow. These findings implicate gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in bone cell ensemble responsiveness to oscillatory fluid flow and suggest that gap junctions and GJIC play a pivotal role in mechanotransduction mechanisms in bone.
