Abstract Background Apoptosis of osteoblasts and osteoclasts regulates bone homeostasis. Skeletal injury in humans results in angiogenic responses primarily mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF a protein essential for bone repair in animal models. Osteoblasts release VEGF in response to a number of stimuli and express receptors for VEGF in a differentiation dependent manner. This study investigates the putative role of VEGF in regulating the lifespan of primary human osteoblasts PHOB in vitro. Methods PHOB were examined for VEGF receptors. Cultures were supplemented with VEGF 0-50 ng mL a neutralising antibody to VEGF mAB VEGF ug mL and Placental Growth Factor PlGF an Flt-l receptor-specific VEGF ligand 0-l00 ng mL to examine their effects on mineralised nodule assay alkaline phosphatase assay and apoptosis. The role
