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.

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.

Many normal cerebrospinal fluids contain an alkaline (pH 9.8) and an acid (pH 4.9) phosphatase. Both the alkaline and the acid phosphatase were significantly increased in the spinal fluids from patients with meningitis or poliomyelitis, but not in the fluids from patients with syphilis. The alkaline phosphatase activity was correlated with both the concentration of protein in the spinal fluid and with the white cell count, whereas the acid phosphatase was correlated with neither. When correction was made for the significant correlation between cell count and protein concentration, the partial correlation between alkaline phosphatase activity and both protein concentration and cell count remained significant statistically. In pathological conditions it appears likely that the alkaline phosphatase is derived partly from the polymorphonuclear leucocytes in the fluid and partly from the blood plasma. The acid phosphatase is probably derived from the lymphocytes of the fluid and possibly also from the blood plasma. It is unlikely that either of these enzymes comes from the substance of the brain or spinal cord. Acid phosphatase would be of more value than alkaline phosphatase as a diagnostic aid, since normal fluids contain much less of this enzyme.

To characterize serum constituents in blood in response to cold exposure, we measured serum inorganic phosphate (Pi) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels. After 30 min exposure of cold, the serum Pi and alkaline phosphatase levels were 3.4 ± 0.06 mg/l and 72.33 ± 0.45 μmole/l respectively where as the control levels of these constituents are 3.05 ± 0.03 mg/l and 84 μmole/l respectively. Cold exposure for 30 min induces serum Pi concentration by 11.5 % and decreases ALP levels significantly by 13.9 % compared to control rats. Serum Pi for 1 h and 2 h were 3.8 mg/l and 4.17 ± 0.16 mg/l while ALP levels were 57.33 ± 0.88 μmole/l and 91 ± 1.73 μmole/l respectively in different groups of rats. Cold exposure stimulates serum Pi by 24.6 % and 36.7 % and reduces ALP activity by 31.7 % significantly and without significant change for 1 h and 2 h respectively. Another groups of rats exposed to cold for 4 h had Pi and ALP levels 4.66 ± 0.88 mg/l and 85.66 ± 0.88 μmole/l respectively. Cold exposure similarly stimulates Pi content significantly by 52.8 % without affecting ALP activity compared to the control rather reaches to basal level. Our results demonstrate that Pi and ALP levels in cold-exposed rats are regulated in different ways.   doi: 10.3329/taj.v19i1.3162 TAJ 2006; 19(1):13-17
