title: Differential effects of fluoride and insulin-like growth factor I on sodium-dependent alanine and phosphate transport in a human osteoblast-like cell line.
abstract: The effects of fluoride and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I on sodium-dependent (Na(d)) alanine and phosphate (Pi) transport were compared in a human osteosarcoma cell line, SAOS-2/B-10. Fluoride stimulated Na(d) alanine but not Pi uptake in a dose-dependent manner, whereas IGF-I stimulated both alanine and Na(d)Pi transport. IGF-I and low concentrations of fluoride stimulated Na(d) alanine transport rapidly. Genistein, an inhibitor of tyrosine kinase blocked IGF-I- but not fluoride-stimulated Na(d) alanine transport. The effects of fluoride and IGF-I were additive and not associated with corresponding changes in cell number or protein content. In conclusion, low concentrations of fluoride rapidly and selectively stimulate Na(d) alanine transport in SAOS-2 cells.
