Arg-vasopressin increases proliferation of human osteoblast-like cells and decreases production of interleukin-6 and macrophage colony-stimulating factor
Patients with arginine-vasopressin (AVP) deficiency have been reported to have a decreased bone mass. The mechanism behind this is not known. In this study, the effects of AVP on primary human osteoblast-like (hOB) cells and SaOS-2 cells were investigated. Cell proliferation was measured by [ 3H]thy...

Summary: | Patients with arginine-vasopressin (AVP) deficiency have been reported to have a decreased bone mass. The mechanism behind this is not known. In this study, the effects of AVP on primary human osteoblast-like (hOB) cells and SaOS-2 cells were investigated. Cell proliferation was measured by [
3H]thymidine incorporation or a commercially available kit (EZ4U), and protein synthesis by [
3H]proline incorporation. In addition, the production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) in hOB cells was determined. AVP at 10–100 pmol/l increased cell proliferation in hOB and SaOS-2 cells (
