N2 - Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) is a metalloproteinase secreted by cultured human osteoblasts that has been implicated in the regulation of local insulin-like growth factor (IGF) bioavailability during bone growth and remodeling. However, very little is known about the regulation of PAPP-A expression in bone. In this study, we determined the effect of systemic and local osteoregulatory factors on PAPP-A mRNA and protein expression in normal human osteoblasts (hOB cells). Treatment of hOB cells with particular peptide growth factors (basic fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor), steroid hormones (dexamethasone, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3), and cytokines [interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-13, oncostatin M] with known involvement in bone cell physiology had no significant effect on PAPP-A expression. Agents that increase intracellular cyclic AMP (forskolin, prostaglandin E2) increased PAPP-A mRNA and protein expression ∼3-fold. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), IL-1β, and IL-4 also increased PAPP-A expression 3- to 4-fold. Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) was previously shown to stimulate PAPP-A expression in hOB cells. The effects of TGFβ, TNFα, and IL-1β were additive, whereas the effects of TGFβ and IL-4 were synergistic. In summary, TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-4 were identified as potent stimulators of PAPP-A expression in primary cultures of human osteoblasts. These findings suggest a mechanism whereby cytokines present in bone and bone marrow could augment IGF bioavailability during skeletal growth and remodeling.
