Abstract
Long-term use of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), a common diuretic agent for hypertension, has been associated with increased bone density and reduced hip fracture rates in patients. In this study, we sought to examine whether HCTZ has an anabolic effect on the proliferation of human osteoblasts (derived from either vertebrate or rib bone samples) in vitro. Cell proliferation was determined by [3H]thymidine incorporation and cell number counting. In medium supplemented with 1% bovine calf serum, HCTZ significantly and reproducibly increased [3H]thymidine incorporation and cell number. The stimulatory effect was dose dependent in a biphasic manner, with the maximal stimulation (approximately 60% above control, P < 0.001) seen at 1 microM HCTZ. In fresh serum-free medium, HCTZ was ineffective as a bone cell mitogen, indicating that the bone cell mitogenic activity of HCTZ required a serum growth factor (GF). HCTZ at doses greater than 10 microM was inhibitory in the presence or the absence of serum, presumably because of the cytotoxic effects. The serum requirement for the bone cell mitogenic activity of HCTZ could be replaced with a conditioned medium (conditioned with normal human osteoblasts for 24 hours), or with a mitogenic dose...Continue Reading
