Many important diseases in otolaryngology manifest through abnormal bone remodeling or destruction. The mechanisms for such pathological remodeling remain poorly understood. Bone is known to be innervated by norepinephrine-containing sympathetic nerves, and sympathectomy is known to induce bone resorption. The role, however, of norepinephrine as a potential bone-modulatory substance is unknown. Using the calvarial calcium release assay, we conducted the following experiment to evaluate the bone-modulatory activity of norepinephrine, the alpha-agonist octopamine, and the beta-agonist isoproterenol. Each agent was tested at 2 concentrations with and without parathyroid hormone. Norepinephrine was found to have no effect on calcium release. In contrast, octopamine at 10–8mol/l exerted a significantstimulatoryeffect on calcium release, and isoproterenol at 10–6mol/l exerted a significantinhibitoryeffect on parathyroid hormone-induced calcium release. The investigation suggests that a bimodal, concentration-dependent, receptor-specific model for catecholamine-mediated modulation of bone resorption may operate in calvarial bone.
