Osteogenesis is a complex process whereby growth factors and mediators from both local and systemic sources modulate the bone-forming activities of osteoblasts. In the present study we utilized primary cultures of fetal rat calvarial cells to characterize osteoblast responsiveness to the vascular mediator endothelin-1 (ET-1) and to investigate whether ET-1 responses are regulated by osteogenic protein-1 (OP-1). We found that a 1- to 2-day exposure to OP-1 diminished ET-1 receptor ligand binding and signal transduction by downregulating ET-1 receptor mRNA expression. ET-1-mediated calcium signaling and ligand binding were completely abolished by the ETA receptor antagonist BQ-123, suggesting that ET-1 effects are mediated by this receptor. Northern analysis of total RNA revealed that ETA mRNA expression was inhibited approximately 50% by OP-1 treatment, whereas ETB receptor mRNA was not detected by this method of analysis. In OP-1-treated cultures, the magnitude and duration of ET-1 calcium signals varied among individual cells. This finding may be related to a heterogeneous OP-1 response, indicated by alkaline phosphatase induction in only a subpopulation of cells. These results suggest that modulation of osteoblast function by ET-1 occurs during distinct periods of phenotypic development and imply that downregulation of ET-1 responsiveness may be necessary for optimal bone formation in vivo.
