Methods In this study of MG-63 osteoblast-like cells we analyzed the influence of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene UHMWPE particles and the neurotransmitter alpha-calcitonin gene-related peptide CGRP on the osteoprotegerin receptor activator of nuclear factor-KB ligand receptor activator of nuclear factor B OPG RANKL RANK system. MG-63 cells were stimulated by different UHMWPE particle concentrations 1 100 1 500 and different doses of alpha-CGRP 10-7 M 10-9 M 10-11 M . RANKL and OPG mRNA expression and protein levels were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results Increasing particle concentrations caused an up-regulation of RANKL after 72 hours. Alpha-CGRP showed a dose-independent depressive effect on particle-induced expression of RANKL mRNA in both cell-particle ratios. RANKL gene transcripts were significantly P decreased by alpha-CGRP treatment after 48 and 72 hours. OPG mRNA was significantly down-regulated in a cell-particle ratio of 1 500 after 72 hours. Alpha-CGRP concentrations of 10-7 M lead to an up-regulation of OPG protein. Conclusion In conclusion a possible osteoprotective influence of the neurotransmitter alpha-CGRP on particle stimulated osteoblast-like cells could be shown. Alpha-CGRP might be important for bone metabolism under conditions of particle-induced .
