| Abstract | We describe effects of strontium ranelate treatment on intact mineralized nodules produced in osteoblast cell cultures. We analyzed the matrix directly at the cell culture surfaces following treatment with 0.05 and 0.5 mM Sr2+. This method allowed for data to be obtained from intact nodules, rather than from extracted samples. The bone-like nature of the matrix was evaluated by using attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the incorporation of Sr into the nodules was investigated by using both energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and synchrotron radiation micro X-ray fluorescence. We observed typical mineralized nodules in all of the cell cultures. However, the formation of these nodules was markedly increased in cultures treated with 0.5 mM Sr2+. In all of the cultures, the nature of the intact matrix was similar to that described in native bone tissue, being comprised of a poorly crystalline CO3 2−-containing apatite and a collagenous matrix. This indicated that treatment had no deleterious effects on the matrix. Moreover, the nodules presented Ca and P as the main chemical components, confirming their bone-like mineralized nature. The incorporation of Sr into the nodules was clearly observed in the treated cultures, with their relative Sr content [Sr/(Ca+Sr) ratio] being markedly increased in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, strontium ranelate promoted an increase in the formation of mineralized nodules in osteoblast cell cultures while preserving the bone-like nature of the matrix at the tissue level. We further demonstrated that Sr was incorporated into the intact nodules formed during treatment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
