Fluoride mediates apoptosis in osteosarcoma UMR 106 and its cytotoxicity depends on the pH

Abstract: Although an excess intake of fluoride has been reported to cause skeletal fluorosis, very little is known about the mechanism of adverse effects of fluoride on bone. In the present study cytotoxic effects of fluoride were studied using the osteosarcoma cell line, UMR 106. The DNA ladder formation upon agarose electrophoresis and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end-labeling (TUNEL) staining revealed that UMR 106 underwent apoptosis following exposure to 5 mM fluoride for 8 h.

“…However, the cytotoxicity of fluoride is pH dependent [47,48] and previous studies have shown that fluoride is cytotoxic in acidic pH but has minimum cytotoxic effect in neutral pH [47,48]. Therefore, the ability of S-PRG cement to maintain the pH of the soaking water unchanged throughout the soaking period might be Further studies are required to investigate other variables of S-PRG cement that are related to the setting process such as dimensional stability, solubility and expansion.…”

“…It was documented that NaF at 5 mM decreased the viability of the osteosarcoma cell line UMR 106 to approximately 50% of that of controls following an 8-h exposure [16]. Additionally, rat bone marrow cells treated with 10 mM NaF revealed a statistically significant increased proportion of nonviable cells (62-65%) after exposure times of 12 h, 24 h, or 36 h [19].…”
