The present study was designed to determine the effects of fluid shear stress on the mRNA expression of carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) in polarized rat osteoclasts. Cellular morphology of the polarized osteoclasts generated by a mechanical anatomical technique was examined by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and the osteoclastic resorption of dentine slices. The polarized osteoclasts were then stress-loaded by using a flow shear stress device newly developed by the osteoclast research group (patent number 200420034438; China), at 9 dyne/cm(2) for various time periods [0 (control group), 15, 30, 60, and 120 min], or at various stress levels [0 (control), 0.9, 2.9, 8.7, and 26.3 dyne/cm(2)] for 30 min. The mRNA expression of CAII was quantified using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) and the data were analyzed with SPSS 12.0 software. The polarized osteoclasts were larger than regular monocytes (about 30 microm diameter) with irregular configuration, and the majority of polarized osteoclasts appeared to be spherical and had approximately 2-20 nuclei. The TRAP positive polarized osteoclasts showed asymmetrical red staining in the cytoplasm, and had many filaments and vacuoles. These cells formed resorptive pits in dentine slices. The levels of CAII mRNA expression were shown to be time-dependent, with the E+5 copy numbers being 7.88+/-0.09, 11.14+/-0.12, 15.83+/-0.18, 1.94+/-0.02, and 1.37+/-0.01 in cells treated at 9 dyne/cm(2) for 0, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min, respectively (P < 0.05). The levels of CAII mRNA expression (E+5 copy numbers) in cells treated with the stress levels of 0, 0.9, 2.9, 8.7 and 26.3 dyne/cm(2) were 7.97+/-0.201, 11.26+/-0.688, 15.94+/-0.201, 31.88+/-1.496, and 45.08+/-2.639, respectively (P < 0.05). These results indicate that there is a relationship between the fluid shear stress and the mRNA expression of CAII in polarized rat osteoclasts.
