In the pH range from 6.8 to 8.4, in which the cells were viable, the acid phosphatase activity decreased, while the Mg (2+)-dependent ATPase activity increased.
This ecto-ATPase activity was insensitive to inhibitors of other ATPase and phosphatase activities, such as oligomycin, sodium azide, bafilomycin A (1), ouabain, furosemide, vanadate, molybdate, sodium fluoride, tartrate, and levamizole.

The acid phosphatase inhibitors (vanadate and molybdate) inhibited about 60-70% of the Mg (2+)-independent ecto-ATPase activity, suggesting that the ATP hydrolysis measured in the absence of any metal divalent could, at least in part, also be catalyzed by an ecto-phosphatase present in this cell.
The Mg (2+)-dependent ecto-ATPase activity was insensitive to inhibitors of other ATPase and phosphatase activities, such as oligomycin, sodium azide, bafilomycin A (1), ouabain, furosemide, vanadate, molybdate, sodium fluoride and levamizole.

The stimulatory effects of sodium fluoride (NaF) on bone formation have been explained solely by its activation of osteoblasts.
NaF at subtoxic concentrations (<0.5 mM) significantly up-regulated activities of several intracellular enzymes (lactate dehydrogenase, beta-glucuronidase, acid phosphatase), cellular reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium, and nitric oxide (NO) production; which are all accepted as general differentiation markers.
