Abstract

The effects of cardiotonic steroids (ouabain and digoxin) on the bone formation were studied using the organotypic tissue culture in combination with confocal microscopy. The expression of α1- and α3-isoforms of Na+,K+-ATPase was detected in cells of the bone tissue of 12-day-old chicken embryos. Ouabain in a concentrations 10-10 M (comparable with its endogenous concentration) can modulate transducer function of Na+,K+-ATPase and control the growth and proliferation bone tissue cells. Unlike ouabain, digoxin is not involved in the regulation of bone tissue growth in a 12-day-old chicken embryo.

Keywords: Na+,K+-ATPase; bone tissue; digoxin; organotypic culture; ouabain.
