Insulin-like growth factor I (IGP-I) and high-dose glucocorticoids exert opposite effects on bone formation. Because integrins are involved in cell and matrix organization, the effect of glucocorticoids and IGF-I on integrins was investigated in bone. An immunogold transmission electron microscopic (TEM) method was developed and applied to an organ culture system of 20-day fetal rat parietal bones, which mineralize in vitro. In parietal bone culture, 100 mM corticosterone treatment for 72 hr decreased calcification by 29%, disrupted osteoblast organization, and decreased the number of osteocytes, The quantity of osteoblast processes and the number of osteocytes per unit bone area were decreased by 48% and 56%, respectively, This effect was dose-dependent. The beta(1)-integrin subunit was localized equally to apical and basal osteoblast surfaces by immunogold TEM. Compared to untreated control cultures, corticosterone (100 nM) decreased beta(1) by one third. In contrast, treatment with IGF-I for 72 hr increased calcification by 38%, cell processes by 71%, and osteocytes per unit area of bone by 107%, The number of gold particles localizing Pr on the osteoblast plasma membrane doubled, almost entirely on the apical surface of the osteoblast. Glucocorticoids and IGF-I had no significant effect on beta(1) levels in osteocytes. In conclusion, glucocorticoids and IGF-I modulate integrin levels on osteoblasts, and influence osteocyte formation and bone calcification. However, neither glucocorticoids nor IGP-I alter beta(1)-integrin levels on osteocytes.
