Outline of Final Research Achievements

Osteoclast precursor cells( RAW264.7 ) were cultured on the three types of grooved substrata with the presence of nicotine. Observation with a stereoscopic microscope confirmed that the cells were positively stained with Tartrate Resistant Acid Phosphatase (TRAP) on the substrata, indicating that they were osteoclasts. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) observation revealed that the osteoclasts were polygonal or round in shape, arranged in a disorganized pattern on the smooth substratum. These results suggest that presence of nicotine was unaffected. 　In addition , these findings indicate that the gene expression of Pyk2 was unaffected by the presence of nicotine concentration.
