Abstract

Metabolic acidosis induces resorption of cultured bone, resulting in a net efflux of calcium (Ca) from the bone and an apparent loss of mineral potassium (K). However, in these organ cultures, there is diffusion of K between the medium and the crystal lattice, causing difficulty in interpretation of the acid-induced changes in mineral ion composition. To determine the effects of acidosis on bone mineral K, we injected 4-day-old neonatal mice with pure stable isotope41K, equal to ∼5% of their total body K. Calvariae were dissected 24 h later and then cultured for 24 h in medium without added41K, either at pH ∼7.4 (Ctl) or at pH ∼7.1 (Ac), with or without the osteoclastic inhibitor calcitonin (3 × 10−9 M, CT). The bone isotopic ion content was determined with a high-resolution scanning ion microprobe utilizing secondary ion mass spectrometry.41K is present in nature at 6.7% of total K. The injected41K raised the ratio of bone41K/(39K+41K) to 9.8 ± 0.5% on the surface (ratios of counts per second of detected secondary ions, mean ±95% confidence interval) but did not alter the ratio in the interior (6.9 ± 0.4%), indicating biological incorporation of the41K into the mineral surface. The ratios of41K/40Ca on the surface of Ctl calvariae was 14.4 ± 1.2, indicating that bone mineral surface is rich in K compared with Ca. Compared with Ctl, Ac caused a marked increase in the net Ca efflux from bone that was blocked by CT. Ac also induced a marked fall in the ratio of41K/40Ca on the surface of the calvariae (4.3 ± 0.5, p < 0.01 vs. Ctl), which was partially blocked by CT (8.2 ± 0.9, p < 0.01 vs. Ctl and vs. Ac), indicating that Ac causes a greater release of bone mineral K than Ca which is partially blocked by CT. Thus, bone mineral surface is rich in K relative to Ca, acidosis induces a greater release of surface mineral K than Ca, and osteoclastic function is necessary to support the enriched levels of surface mineral K in the presence of acidosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
