Abstract Insulin-like growth factor IGF -1 is a key factor in bone homeostasis and could be involved in bone tissue sclerosis as observed in osteoarthritis OA . Here we compare the key signaling pathways triggered in response to IGF-1 stimulation between normal and OA osteoblasts Obs . Primary Obs were prepared from the subchondral bone of tibial plateaus of OA patients undergoing knee replacement or from normal individuals at autopsy. Phenotypic characterization of Obs was evaluated with alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin release. The effect of IGF-1 on cell proliferation alkaline phosphatase and collagen synthesis was evaluated in the presence or not of 50 ng ml IGF-1 whereas signaling was studied with proteins separated by SDS-PAGE before western blot analysis. We also used immunoprecipitation followed by .
