Studies carried out in space flights and in altered gravitational environments have shown that exposure to altered gravity conditions results in alterations in cellular structure and function. In the present study, we used a clinostat to generate a vector-averaged gravity environment, and evaluated the responses of osteoblast-like ROS 17/2.8 cells subsequent to rotation at 50 r.p.m from 24 to 72 hr. We found that the cells started to detach during the first 24 hr of culture in clinostat, but not in stationary and horizontal rotation (the latter serving as a control for turbulence, shear forces and vibrations). At 24 hr, there was a significant decrease in the number of adherent cells under clino-rotation (2.75 +/- 0.5 x 10(5) in stationary culture versus 2.02 +/- 0.27 x 10(5) under clino-rotation), and 19.8% of adherent cells were trypan-blue positive when cultured in 2% fetal bovine serum. All the detached cells were trypan-blue positive. At 72 hr, the cells became confluent in all three groups. These results suggest that vector-averaged gravity could cause the death of osteoblasts during the first 24 hr of clino-rotation. We hypothesize that this cell death might play a role in the pathogenesis of osteoporotic bone loss as observed in actual space flight.
