Application Note
PTH (Parathyroid hormone) is a hormone secreted by the parathyroid glands that is important in bone remodeling. As reported, osteoblast-like cell lines, such as ROS 17/2. 8, UMR1x10⁶, SaOS, U2OS, MG63, that exhibit PTHR1, respond with increased proliferation to PTH. Rat PTH shares similarities with human PTH in amino acid sequence with the identity of 71. 3% . Thus, a proliferation assay of rat recombinant PTH was conducted using U2OS cells. Briefly, U2OS cells were seeded into triplicate wells of 96-well plates at a density of 2000 cells/well and allowed to attach overnight, then the medium was replaced with serum-free standard DMEM prior to the addition of various concentrations of PTH. After incubated for 48h, cells were observed by inverted microscope and cell proliferation was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Briefly, 10 μl of CCK-8 solution was added to each well of the plate, then the absorbance at 450nm was measured using a microplate reader after incubating the plate for 1-4 hours at 37ºC. Proliferation of U2OS cells after incubation with PTH for 48h observed by inverted microscope. Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 (Cell Counting Kit-8 ) assay after incubation with recombinant PTH for 48h. And PTH increased cell viability of U2OS cells.
