Description
Summary:Objective Our poor understanding of how inflammatory mediators can affect osteoblast behavior led us to investigate the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)[alpha]-induced focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and Src phosphorylation. Material and Methods MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast cells were harvested at specific time points after either TNF[alpha] treatment or RAW267 stimulated conditioned medium, and thereafter cell extracts were prepared for Immunoblotting assay. ELISA detected TNF[alpha] content at conditioned medium. Tumor necrosis factor-[alpha]-neutralizing antibodies also were used. Results It was possible to show that TNF[alpha] provokes attenuation at Y-phosphorylation of both FAK (at Y397) and Src (at Y416) proteins (P < 0.05), suggesting a decrease in their activities. The very similar profile was observed when osteoblasts were incubated with conditioned medium from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages, it being significantly different than control (FAK and Src, P < 0.05). Nevertheless, in order to validate these findings, we decided to pre-incubate osteoblasts with anti-TNF[alpha] neutralizing antibody (2 µg ml-1) prior exposing to conditioned medium. Importantly, our results revealed that there was a diminution on those conditioned medium effects when the same biological parameters were evaluated (P < 0.05). Moreover, we also showed that TNF[alpha] impairs osteoblast adhesion, suggesting an interesting role on osteoblast performance. Conclusions Altogether, these results suggest that LPS-stimulated macrophage mediators attenuate both FAK and Src activations in osteoblast, suggesting a novel role for TNF[alpha] on osteoblast performance.
