Abstract Earlier we described a kinetic assay for quantifying skeletal alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzyme activity in serum. The precision of the assay depends on including ALP standards for the skeletal, hepatic, intestinal, and placental isoenzymes. We wondered whether human osteosarcoma cells could provide an efficient alternative to human bone or Pagetic serum as a source of the skeletal ALP standard. ALP activities prepared from five human osteosarcoma cell lines were compared with a bone-derived ALP standard with respect to heat stability and sensitivity to chemical effectors. Two of the cell lines (SaOS-2 and TE-85) contained ALP activities that resembled the bone-derived standard. We selected SaOS-2 cells for additional evaluation (as a potential source of isoenzyme standard), because they contained 40-50 times more ALP activity than did the TE-85 cells. To include the SaOS-2 cell-derived ALP activity in the quantitative isoenzyme assay, we diluted the enzyme in a solution containing heat-inactivated (i.e., ALP-negative) human serum. Surprisingly, this dilution caused a 60-125% increase in maximum enzyme activity. In the quantitative assay of ALP isoenzyme in serum, the SaOS-2 derived ALP was indistinguishable from the serum skeletal ALP standard, with respect to the above criteria and assay variations. Evidently ALP from SaOS-2 cells is suited as a standard for measuring skeletal ALP activity in this assay.

Obesity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) although the precise molecular mechanisms that link obesity to CVD are not understood. Recent studies suggest that factors secreted by adipose tissue may play an adverse role in cardiovascular health. We have previously demonstrated that the adipocytokine, leptin, promotes vascular calcification in apolipoprotein E - deficient mice and that this increase in calcification is associated with an increase in the expression of several osteoblast-specific markers within the vessel wall. In an effort to understand the mechanism by which leptin exerts these effects, we cultured primary bovine aortic smooth muscle cells (BASMCs) in the presence of 0 to 2 μg/ml leptin for up to 12 days. Osteogenic differentiation of BASMCs was determined by an increase in the expression of osteoblast-specific markers, and the induction of both alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralization. Consistent with previous studies, we found that treatment of BASMCs with leptin induced osteoblast differentiation in a dose-dependent manner. To investigate the underlying mechanism, we examined changes in the expression levels of key factors implicated in osteoblast differentiation, including members of the Wnt signaling pathway. We found that exposure to leptin induced the Erk 1/2-dependent inactivation of GSK-3β, through Ser9 phosphorylation, and a subsequent increase in the nuclear accumulation of β-catenin. Transfection of BASMCs with an adenovirus that expressed constitutively active GSK-3β (Ad-GSK-3β S9A) resulted in a > 2-fold increase in GSK-3β activity, a decrease in the expression of the osteoblast-specific marker, osteopontin, and a significant decrease in leptin-induced alkaline phosphatase activity. Together, our results provide a possible mechanism by which elevated leptin concentrations, associated with obesity, promote osteoblast differentiation, and vascular calcification in vivo.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To investigate the relationship between salivary alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), protein concentration, and chronological age with cervical vertebral maturation stages (CVMS) as noninvasive biomarkers for skeletal maturity assessment. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 79 subjects (48 females, 31 males; 7 to 23 years old) categorized into five CVMS based on lateral cephalographs evaluated by three examiners. ALP activity and protein concentration in unstimulated whole saliva were compared among five CVMS. The association between age and CVMS was assessed and five multinomial logistic regression models were utilized to predict CVMS based on salivary ALP activity, protein concentration, and chronological age. Results: Salivary ALP reached the peak at early pubertal stage and then declined with a significant difference between CVMS I and CVMS II (P < .001) and between CVMS I and CVMS V (P = .004). A significant positive correlation between age and CVMS was found (rs = 0.763, P < .001). The models' overall correct classification rates for predicting CVMS were 32.9% using protein concentration, 35.4% using ALP activity, and 53.2% using both ALP activity and age. Conclusions: The combination of salivary ALP activity and chronological age may provide the best CVMS prediction.
