We have shown by receptor-binding analyses that the beta-2 adrenergic receptor is present on rat ROS 17/2.8 osteoblast-like cells. This was confirmed by PCR amplification of cDNA copied from the mRNA. The beta-1 adrenoreceptor subtype was absent and its mRNA was not detectable, even at the level of sensitivity afforded by PCR analysis. The beta-adrenergic receptors present on ROS 17/2.8 cells were functional as measured by ligand-induced enhancement of cAMP production. We investigated whether adrenergic agonists could mimic the action of PTH to stimulate bone resorption in neonatal mouse calvariae in organ culture. PTH induced a large increase in cAMP while norepinephrine and isoproterenol induced a small but significant increase. In the presence of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor and an antioxidant, norepinephrine consistently stimulated bone resorption. In order to determine whether functional beta-adrenergic receptors were unique to ROS 17/2.8 cells, human SaOS-2 osteoblast-like cells were also examined for enhancement of cAMP production by norepinephrine, and essentially the same results were obtained. Thus, adrenergic agonists efficiently activate beta-receptors on two osteoblast-like cells and can stimulate bone resorption in intact mouse calvariae.
