Abstract

Osteocytes acquire their stellate shape during the process of changing from osteoblasts in bone. Throughout this process, dynamic cytoskeletal changes occur. In general, changes of the cytoskeleton affect cellular mechanical properties. Mechanical properties of living cells are connected with their biological functions and physiological processes. In this study, we for the first time analyzed elastic modulus, a mechanical property of bone cells. Bone cells in embryonic chick calvariae and in isolated culture were identified using fluorescently labeled phalloidin and OB7.3, a chick osteocyte-specific monoclonal antibody, and then observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The elastic modulus of living cells was analyzed with atomic force microscopy. To examine the consequences of focal adhesion formation on the elastic modulus, cells were pretreated with GRGDS and GRGES, and then the elastic modulus of the cells was analyzed. Focal adhesions in the cells were visualized by immunofluorescence of vinculin. From fluorescence images, we could distinguish osteoblasts, osteoid osteocytes and mature osteocytes both in vivo and in vitro. The elastic modulus of peripheral regions of cells in all three populations was significantly h...Continue Reading
