Abstract: Objective The purpose of this study was to observe the influence on proliferation of rabbit osteoblast (ROB) of rabbit vascular endothelial cell(RVEC) co-culturedwith rabbit osteoblast (ROB).Methods Rabbit osteoblasts and rabbit vascu- lar endothelial cells in ratio of 1∶0,1∶1,2∶1,4∶1were selected to co-culture.The function of osteoblasts was assessed by alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity and osteocalcin(OC) assay.Results There was good compatibilitywhen osteoblasts and vascular en- dothelial cells were co-cultured. The activity ofALP and OC in the group of ROB and RVEC co-cultured in ratio of 2∶1 was higher than that of the other three groups.Conclusion In direct co-culture systemin vitro, RVEC can improve activity of ROB.
