Effects of different Ca2+ level on fluoride-induced apoptosis pathway of endoplasmic reticulum in the rabbit osteoblast in vitro

In reviewing the literature, the cellular mechanism of fluoride F-induced osteoblast OB cells apoptosis is diverse and perplexing, but detailed regulatory pathway, targets and role of extracellular Ca2+ remains still unclear. Hence, in the present study, we investigated the effects of F (9 mg/L F ion) and different Ca2+ (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 mmol/L) levels treatment on the proliferation rate of osteoblast cells, intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and...
