Using an in vitro co-culture approach comprising cultured murine superior cervical ganglia and MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells, we found that the addition of scorpion venom (SV) elicited neurite activation via intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and, after a lag period, osteoblastic Ca2+ mobilization. SV did not have any direct effect on the osteoblastic cells in the absence of neurites. The addition of an alpha(1)- adrenergic receptor (AR) antagonist, prazosin, dose-dependently prevented the osteoblastic activation that resulted as a consequence of neural activation by SV. These results demonstrate that osteoblastic activation occurred as a direct response to neuronal activation, which activation was mediated by alpha(1)-ARs in the osteoblastic cells.
