Local effects of transforming growth factor-.beta. (TGF.beta.) on bone have been investigated in growing mice. The influence of indomethacin on TGF.beta. effects was also examined. Five daily injections of TGF.beta.-1 or -2 were administered subcutaneously over the frontal and parietal bones of seven-week-old mice. In animals treated with TGF.beta. alone or TGF.beta. and indomethacin, then killed on day 19 (day 1 = day of first TGF.beta. injection), the combined frontal and parietal bones were heavier and the frontal bones were thicker than in controls. On day 4, multiple layers of differentiating osteoblasts were visible in the periosteum of calvariae from TGF.beta.-treated animals. On day 8, highly vascularised periosteal woven bone was seen in the calvariae of TGF.beta.-treated animals. On day 19 (14 days after the last injection) the woven bone had been partially remodeled into lamellar bone containing bone marrow, and was still actively being remodeled. The histological appearance of bones from animals treated concurrently with TGF.beta. and indomethacin was identical to that of animals treated with TGF.beta. alone, and there appeared to be no difference between TGF.beta.-1 and TGF.beta.-2. Thus, TGF.beta.-stimulated bone formation in vivo is a long term effect that appears to be independent of prostaglandins. Osteoclast counts in sections of TGF.beta.-treated animals were not elevated on day 4, although at this stage effects on osteoblastic cells were already morphologically apparent. Osteoclast counts in TGF.beta.-treated bones were significantly increased over control values on days 8 and 19. These results suggest that TGF.beta. does not directly influence bone resorption in vivo, but that osteoclasts are recruited in order to remodel TGF.beta.-induced woven bone.
