Macrophage colony-stimulating factor stimulates survival and chemotactic behavior in isolated osteoclasts.

Abstract: SummaryMacrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-C3F) is known to play an important role in osteoclast formation. However, its actions on mature cells have not been fully characterized. We now report that M-CSF dramatically stimulates osteoclastic motility and spreading; osteoclasts responded to a gradient of M-CSF with orientation, and random cell polarization occurred after isotropic exposure. M-CSF also supported the survival of osteoclasts by preventing apoptosis. Paradoxically, M-CSF inhibits bone resorptio… Show more

“…However, only recently osteoblasts have been recognized to play a pivotal role in osteoclastogenesis process through the production of molecular factors such as RANKL, OPG, or CSF-1 [19][20][21][22][23]. Based on this new information, it has been shown that RANKL is essential to mediate the osteoclastogenic effect of PMMA [24].…”

“…6-8 sCSF-1, released by osteoblasts and csCSF-1, through direct cell contact, stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of osteoclast progenitors and survival of osteoclasts. [9][10][11] The importance of CSF-1 in osteoclast-mediated bone remodeling and tooth eruption has been shown in osteopetrotic (op/op) mice. Absence of CSF-1 in osteoblasts/stromal cells of these mice decreases osteoclasts and leads to osteopetrosis and failure of tooth eruption.…”

“…6,7 M-CSF promotes several aspects of osteoclastogenesis including the proliferation and fusion of osteoclast precursors as well as osteoclasts and the expression of the RANKL receptor by these cells. [8][9][10] The effect of M-CSF on mature osteoclast resorption activity is controversial with both a decrease and increase in lacunar resorption being reported. [11][12][13] Although bone resorption is greatly decreased in op/op mice, a few osteoclasts can still be found in skeletal tissues; op/op mice can also undergo a spontaneous age-dependent recovery of osteoclastogenesis.…”
