To more clearly define the expression of metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) within the human osteoblast (hOB) lineage, normal hOB and human osteogenic sarcoma cells possessing various levels of alkaline phosphatase (a marker of commitment to the osteoblast lineage) were treated with bone-resorbing agents to determine their effect on the production of interstitial collagenase, stromelysin, 72-kilodalton (kDa) gelatinase, 92-kDa gelatinase, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2. The results revealed that 1) normal hOB release copious amounts of 72-kDa gelatinase, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2; 2) hOB production of 72-kDa gelatinase and TIMP-2 is not regulated by agents that promote bone resorption (e.g. phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate, recombinant human interleukin-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, PTH, and vitamin D3); 3) normal hOB fail to secrete collagenase, stromelysin, or 92-kDa gelatinase when cultured on plastic or a type I collagen substratum, even in response to bone-resorptive agents or mononuclear cell- conditioned medium; 4) in contrast, certain of the osteogenic sarcoma cell populations produce collagenase, stromelysin, and 92-kDa gelatinase, especially when exposed to bone-resorbing stimuli; 5) in general, the capacity for metalloenzyme production by osteogenic sarcoma cell lines varies inversely with their alkaline phosphatase expression; and 6) the most committed (highest alkaline phosphatase) osteogenic sarcoma cell line, SAOS-2, precisely mimics the metalloproteinase profile of normal hOB. The results suggest that the expression of most metalloproteinases is under strict repression within the differentiated normal hOB, and cellular development is associated with diminished capacity to elaborate such enzymes.
