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.

The presence and activity of alkaline phosphatase in SAOS-2 and TE-85 human osteosarcoma cells grown in culture were examined at the ultrastructural level. A monoclonal antibody raised against purified human bone osteosarcoma alkaline phosphatase was used to localize the enzyme in cultures of the osteosarcoma cells. Similar cultures were analyzed for alkaline phosphatase activity using an enzyme cytochemical method with cerium as the capture agent. Alkaline phosphatase was immunolocalized at the light microscopic level in an osteogenic sarcoma and ultrastructurally on the SAOS-2 cell membrane and the enclosing membrane of extracellular vesicular structures close to the cells. In contrast, the TE-85 cells were characterized by the absence of all but a few traces of immunolabeling at the cell surface. Enzyme cytochemical studies revealed strong alkaline phosphatase activity on the outer surface of the SAOS-2 cell membrane. Much lower enzyme activity was observed in the TE-85 cells. The results support biochemical data from previous studies and confirm that SAOS-2 cells have a significantly greater concentration of alkaline phosphatase at the plasma membrane.

The extracellular matrix protein tenascin is secreted by osteoblasts but absent from mineralized bone matrix. The current study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that tenascin regulates osteoblast behaviour. Three osteoblast-like cell lines UMR-106, ROS-17/2.8 (rat) and SAOS-2 (human) were used to investigate the role of tenascin in osteoblast morphology, differentiation and proliferation. Two of three cell lines adhered specifically to tenascin, remaining round and failing to spread. Tenascin as a substratum stimulated alkaline phosphatase activity (a marker of osteoblast differentiation) in two of three cell lines. Moreover, anti-tenascin in the medium caused a reduction in alkaline phosphatase levels in all three cell lines. Anti-tenascin also inhibited collagen synthesis, an important osteoblast function. Since it seemed possible that tenascin may exert its effects on cell function through its ability to cause cell rounding, the ability of cell shape change alone to influence alkaline phosphatase levels was investigated. Cells were incubated in the presence of cytochalasin D and alkaline phosphatase levels assayed. Alkaline phosphatase activity was not elevated by cytochalasin D treatment, indicating that cell rounding alone is insufficient to mimic the effect of tenascin. Anti-tenascin caused a slight increase in proliferation of SAOS-2 cells, indicating that tenascin is itself inhibitory. In ROS 17/2.8 and UMR-106 cells, in contrast, proliferation was inhibited by anti-tenascin. The results presented here indicate that tenascin is able to stimulate osteoblastic differentiation and that endogenous tenascin helps to maintain the functional state of cultured osteoblast-like cells.
