Abstract

The steroid hormone 1α,25‑dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1α,25‑(OH)2D3] plays an important role in maintaining a balance in calcium and bone metabolism. To study the effects of 1α,25‑(OH)2D3 on osteoclast (OC) formation and bone resorption, OC differentiation was induced in bone marrow‑derived mononuclear cells from Wistar rats with the addition of macrophage colony stimulating factor and receptor activator for nuclear factor‑κB ligand in vitro. Cells were then treated with 1α,25‑(OH)2D3 at 10‑9, 10‑8 or 10‑7 mol/l. OCs were identified using tartrate‑resistant acid phosphatase staining and activity was monitored in the absorption lacunae by scanning electron microscopy. Expression levels of functional proteins associated with bone absorption, namely carbonic anhydrase II, cathepsin K and matrix metalloproteinase‑9 were evaluated by western blot analysis. The results showed that 1α,25‑(OH)2D3 inhibited the formation and activation of OCs in a dose‑dependent manner and downregulated the expression levels of bone absorption‑associated proteins.
