Sodium fluoride (NaF) is known to stimulate osteoblastic bone formation, but little attention has been given to the possibility that NaF also affects bone resorption and the differentiation of osteoclastic progenitor cells. When human promyelocytic HL-60 cells were treated with NaF (0.5 mM, 0-4 days), cell proliferation was inhibited, and the addition of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25 (OH) 2D3) (10nM, 0-4 days) augmented this antiproliferative effect. NaF increased cellular reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT), and this effect was strongly augmented by 1,25 (OH) 2D3. In addition, NaF produced marked changes in cellular morphology, increased cellular adhesion to plastic, reduced the nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio, and increased cellular expression of chloroacetate esterase, but failed to alter cellular nonspecific esterase activity. Furthermore, NaF increased expression of CD11b and CD66b, and this stimulation was enhanced by adding 1,25 (OH) 2D3. The sum of these changes in classical promyelocytic cellular indices suggest: (1) that NaF stimulates the early stages of HL-60 differentiation toward a granulocyte-like cell and (2) that 1,25 (OH) 2D3 promotes these actions of NaF. Additional experiments aimed at further understanding the NaF-induced conversion of HL-60 cells identified further changes. NaF also increased cellular production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and nitric oxide (NO) and induced expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS); 1,25 (OH) 2D3 once again augmented these NaF-induced effects. Similarly, NaF stimulated the production of interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1 alpha), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and 1,25 (OH) 2D3 again strongly enhanced these effects. Indomethacin completely blocked stimulation of NBT reduction, NO production, and iNOS expression induced by NaF plus 1,25 (OH) 2D3; adding exogenous PGE2 (0.1-10 ng/ml) to these indomethacin-blocked cultures dose-dependently restored NO production. These additional findings together with the observed slow onset (24-48 h) of NaF and 1,25 (OH) 2D3 interaction strongly suggest that 1,25 (OH) 2D3 acts as a cofactor with NaF primarily through interaction with an endogenous NaF-induced cyclo-oxygenase product (s), quite possibly PGE2 itself. Such a mechanism for NaF and 1,25 (OH) 2D3 interaction would be strongly analogous to the interaction we have recently demonstrated between 1,25 (OH) 2D3 and PGE1 on the differentiation of HL-60 cells.
