Background  TRPV6 ion channels are key mediators of regulated transepithelial absorption of Ca 2+  within the small intestine.  Trpv6   -/-  mice were reported to have lower bone density than wild-type littermates and significant disturbances in calcium homeostasis that suggested a role for TRPV6 in osteoblasts during bone formation and mineralization. TRPV6 and molecules related to transepithelial Ca 2+  transport have been reported to be expressed at high levels in human and mouse osteoblasts.    Results  Transmembrane ion currents in whole cell patch clamped SaOS-2 osteoblasts did not show sensitivity to ruthenium red, an inhibitor of TRPV5/6 ion channels, and  45 Ca uptake was not significantly affected by ruthenium red in either SaOS-2 ( P  = 0.77) or TE-85 ( P  = 0.69) osteoblastic cells. In contrast, ion currents and  45 Ca uptake were both significantly affected in a human bronchial epithelial cell line known to express TRPV6. TRPV6 was expressed at lower levels in osteoblastic cells than has been reported in some literature. In SaOS-2 TRPV6 mRNA was below the assay detection limit; in TE-85 TRPV6 mRNA was detected at 6.90±1.9 × 10 −5  relative to B2M. In contrast, TRPV6 was detected at 7.7±3.0 × 10 −2  and 2.38±0.28 × 10 −4  the level of B2M in human carcinoma-derived cell lines LNCaP and CaCO-2 respectively. In murine primary calvarial osteoblasts TRPV6 was detected at 3.80±0.24 × 10 −5  relative to GAPDH, in contrast with 4.3±1.5 × 10 −2  relative to GAPDH in murine duodenum. By immunohistochemistry, TRPV6 was expressed mainly in myleocytic cells of the murine bone marrow and was observed only at low levels in murine osteoblasts, osteocytes or growth plate cartilage.    Conclusions  TRPV6 is expressed only at low levels in osteoblasts and plays little functional role in osteoblastic calcium uptake.
