Abstract
The effects of smokeless tobacco extract (STE) and prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors on protein synthesis by isolated osteoblast-like cells were compared. STE and 2,2'dipyridyl markedly inhibited alkaline phosphatase (Alpase) and [3H]proline hydroxylation without affecting glycolysis (lactate production). However, pyridine 2,5-dicarboxylate (2,5-PDC) did not inhibit [3H] proline hydroxylation, Alpase activity, or glycolysis at moderate concentrations. The [3H]hydroxyproline to [3H]proline ratio in the cell layers demonstrated a concentration-dependent decrease with increasing STE and inhibitor concentrations. In the cell layers, the collagenous protein (CP) content was decreased after exposure to STE, 2,2'dipyridyl, and 2,5-PDC and the noncollagenous protein (NCP) content was decreased after exposure to STE and 2,5-PDC. However, the effects on CP were at least twofold greater than on NCP. Similar results were observed regarding protein released to the culture medium. These data demonstrate that STE, like 2,2'dipyridyl, inhibits the hydroxylation of proline and the synthesis of collagenase-digestible protein.
