Integrin adhesion and signaling events may contribute to the progressive differentiation of the osteoblast and to the initiation of a mineralized matrix. The purpose of our study was to begin to analyze the role of integrin receptors, in particular alpha2beta1, alpha5beta1, and alphaVbeta3, regarding mediation of the initiation of a mineralized matrix. Integrin-perturbation assays were conducted in microdot cultures of UMR-106-01 Bone Sialoprotein (BSP) osteoblast cells. For phenotypic analysis, we performed bright-field microscopy and Aliziran Red S staining to analyze effects on mineralization initiation. Mineralization was reduced significantly (P < 0.001) following the addition of alpha5- or beta1-integrin subunit antibody by approximately 20% and 45%, respectively--alphaVbeta3 integrin by nearly 65%, and alpha2beta1 integrin by nearly 95%. This effect was reversible following the removal of the antiintegrin antibody. These results suggest that integrin adhesion and signaling events may contribute to the ability of this cell line to mediate the initiation of the mineralization phenotype biologically.
