The combined effects of gamma-irradiation and cadmium (Cd) exposures on osteoblasts were observed in the present study. Osteoblasts were exposed to gamma-irradiation (0.5 Gy) and Cd (0-0.5 mu mol/L). Cell viability, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization ability, cell apoptosis and genes expression of ALP, osteocalcin (OC) and caspase 3 were observed. Low concentrations of Cd exposure had no obvious influence on cell viability, ALP activity and apoptosis. However, low levels of Cd exposure combined with gamma-irradiation induced more toxic effects on osteoblasts than those treated with Cd or irradiation alone. High concentrations of Cd combined with irradiation exposure induced more significant inhibition in cell viability, ALP activity and mineralization ability than those exposed to Cd or irradiation alone. Meanwhile, OC and ALP mRNA expression of cells treated with Cd combined with irradiation were down-regulated more significantly than those treated with Cd or irradiation alone. Cd combined with gamma-irradiation could obviously enhance osteoblast apoptosis and up-regulated caspase 3 mRNA expression compared with those treated with Cd or irradiation alone. This study indicated that ionizing irradiation can enhance Cd toxic effects on osteoblast viability and differentiation and apoptosis may play an important role in this progress.
