摘要:: Morphology and calcium metabolism have been studied on five different cell cultures from human normal adult temporal-bone biopsies obtained during five stapedectomies. Control cell cultures were obtained from normal human skin. Four different cell types were observed in the bone biopsies: 1) osteoblast-like cells; 2) osteoclast-like cells; 3) fibroblast-like cells; 4) intermediate cells. However, morphology by itself is inadequate for clear differentiation of the four cell types. Hormonal stimulation with calcitonin and dibutyryl-cAMP in presence of 45Ca++ showed a clear-cut difference in 45Ca++ uptake between cultured cells deriving from bone and skin. Functional responses to hormonal stimulation are therefore more specific than cell shape and morphology in differentiating fibroblasts from bone cells. Since responses to hormonal stimulation confirm that temporal-bone cell cultures actually contain bone cells, such cultures seem to be a good experimental model for the study of bone morphology and physiology.
