Characterization of osteoclast precursors in human blood

Abstract: Osteoclast precursors (OCPs) circulate in the mononuclear fraction of peripheral blood (PB), but their abundance and surface characteristics are unknown. Previous studies suggest that the receptor activator for NF-kappaB (RANK) on cytokine-treated OCPs in mouse bone marrow interacts with osteoprotegerin ligand (OPGL/TRANCE/RANKL/ODF) to initiate osteoclast differentiation. Hence, we used a fluorescent form of human OPGL (Hu-OPGL-F) to identify possible RANK-expressing OCPs in untreated peripheral blood mononuc… Show more

“…We screened the chemokine gene expression in benign osteolytic bone tumors in order to identify the candidate molecules responsible for the recruitment of osteoclast precursors into the area of bone destruction by tumor osteoclasts. Among these cheniokines CXCR4, unique receptor of SDF-I, is known to be expressed in monocytes and hematopoietic stem cells [2,6] that can serve as osteoclast precursor cells [27]. Since all of the benign osteolytic lesions consisted mainly of stromal cells, it would be quite valuable to determine the role of the SDF-1 that these neoplastic stromal cells produce during osteoclastogenesis.…”

“…2c) and morphology (multiple nuclei) of osteoclasts were also evident in fairly large numbers. TRAP positive osteoclasts, in their precursor stage are found in the PB among the monocytic population (Shalhoub et al 2000) but, although the expression of TRAP is regarded as an osteoclast marker, under certain conditions, cells of the macrophage/dendritic cell family also express TRAP (Tsuboi et al 2003). FACS analysis further fortified the monocyte/macrophage identity of the primary adherent cells which demonstrated 90% positive for the leukocyte-common antigen CD45 and negative for CD34 (Fig.…”
