    The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of skeletal growth factor/insulinlike growth factor II and other growth factors known to be present in bone matrix on the proliferation and differentiation of human bone cells. Cells were isolated by collagenase digestion from femoral heads obtained during hip replacement operations. Cells were cultured in DMEM medium with 10% calf serum. Third to fifth passage cells were plated in multiwell plates and the medium changed to low serum (0.1%) for 2 days. The medium was changed to serum-free medium prior to addition of growth factors. Cell proliferation was measured by the incorporation of [3H]thymidine into DNA and by the percentage of cells that incorporate bromodeoxyuridine. Protein synthesis was measured by the incorporation of [3H]proline into trichloroacetic acid-precipitable material. Skeletal growth factor/insulinlike growth factor II and insulinlike growth factor I stimulated cell proliferation and protein synthesis in a dose-dependent manner. Alkaline phosphatase-specific activity was not increased by these factors. Transforming growth factor beta 1 did not affect cell proliferation but stimulated protein synthesis and increased the specific activity of alkaline phosphatase. Fibroblast growth factor did not affect any of the cell parameters. These studies suggest that skeletal growth factor/insulinlike growth factor II, insulinlike growth factor I, and transforming growth factor beta 1 may play a role in the local control of the proliferation and differentiation of human osteoblasts.
