title: Evidence for modulation of osteocalcin containing gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues synthesis by insulin-like growth factor-I and vitamin K2 in human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63.
abstract: The effect of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and 2-methyl-3-all-trans-tetraphenyl-1,4-naphtoquinone (vitamin K2) on the synthesis of osteocalcin containing gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) residues which is the physiologically relevant form in bone metabolism was studied in cultured human osteoblast-like (MG-63) cells. Both IGF-I and vitamin K2 stimulated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3)-induced osteocalcin containing Gla secretion in a concentration-dependent manner. This stimulatory effect of IGF-I and vitamin K2 was additive. Vitamin K2-enhanced osteocalcin containing Gla secretion was selectively suppressed by 3-(alpha-acetonyl-benzyl)-4-hydroxy-coumarin (warfarin). The stimulatory effect of IGF-I was completely abolished by the presence of cycloheximide; in contrast the effect of vitamin K2 was still observed in the presence of cycloheximide. Treatment of MG-63 cells with IGF-I caused an approximately 2.2-fold increase in osteocalcin mRNA levels (determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction). Vitamin K2 had no effect on either the stimulation of mRNA level by IGF-I or the basal level. IGF-I-stimulated osteocalcin containing Gla secretion was inhibited by one of its binding proteins (insulin-like growth factor binding protein-4) in a concentration-dependent manner. These findings suggest that the modes of action of IGF-I and vitamin K2 on 1.25(OH)2D3-induced osteocalcin containing Gla secretion in MG-63 cells are different.
