CD44 Occupancy Prevents Macrophage Multinucleation

Abstract: Cells of the mononuclear phagocyte lineage have the capability to adhere to and fuse with each other and to differentiate into osteoclasts and giant cells. To investigate the macrophage adhesion/fusion mechanism, we focused our attention on CD44, a surface glycoprotein known to play a role in hematopoietic cell–cell adhesion. We report that CD44 expression by macrophages is highly and transiently induced by fusogenic conditions both in vitro and in vivo. We show that CD44 ligands, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin … Show more

“…Scattered mononuclear cells positive for CD14 were also noted in these cultures, indicating that not all TAMs showed evidence of osteoclast differentiation. The TRAP þ /VNR þ mononuclear cells were also noted in these cultures; mononuclear cells that exhibit the cytochemical and functional characteristics of osteoclasts have previously been noted in mouse and human macrophage cultures (Sterling et al, 1998;Quinn et al, 2002;Adamopoulos et al, 2006). There was no expression of CD99.…”

“…In particular, we would like to know (1) if P2X 7 expression is required on both partner cells (would a P2X 7 ϩ fuse with a P2X 7 Ϫ cell? ); (2) if the pore function of P2X 7 is needed for fusion, or if this receptor, maybe via the bulky extracellular domain, triggers fusion via alternative mechanisms; and more importantly, (3) to what extent P2X 7 is relevant for monocyte/macrophage fusion occurring in vivo in the bone or within inflammatory granulomas.…”

“…With the exception of the osteoclasts, to which fusion confers an obvious enhanced capability for resorption of extracellular components, it is not clear why MGCs form, nor is the molecular mechanism known that drives fusion [2]. A few candidate molecules have been proposed, such as LFA-1, ICAM-1, E-cadherins, CD98, and more recently CD44 [3], but it is likely that this complex process involves the coordinate interaction of a large number of membrane receptors needed for cell aggregation, establishment of close cell-to-cell interaction, and finally the actual membrane fusion event.…”

“…Recently, however, two receptors, SIRP␣ (36) and CD44 (37), have been implicated in the fusion process. Indeed, one of the cloning strategies used to identify SIRP␣ used Abs that blocked monocyte-monocyte fusion (36).…”
