Cyclic mechanical loads applied to the skeleton from habitual physical activity result in increased bone formation. These loads lead to dynamic pressure gradients and oscillatory flow of bone interstitial fluid, which, in turn, exposes cells resident in the bony matrix to oscillatory fluid shear stress. Dynamic fluid flow has previously been shown to be a potent anabolic stimulus for cultured osteoblasts. In this study, we used cDNA microarrays to examine early phase, broad-spectrum gene expression in MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts in response to physical stimulation. RNA was harvested at 30 min and 1 h post-stimulation. RNA was used for microarray hybridization as well as subsequent reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) validation of expression levels for selected genes. Microarray results were analysed by both functional and expression profile clustering. We identified a small number of genes at both the 30 min and 1 h timepoints that were either upregulated or downregulated with flow compared to no-flow control by twofold or more. From the group of genes upregulated at 30 min, we selected nine for RT-PCR confirmation. All were found to be upregulated by at least twofold. We identify a novel set of early response genes potentially involved in mediating the anabolic response of MC3T3 osteoblasts to flow, and provide functional groupings of these genes that may shed light on the relevant mechanosensory pathways involved.
