Osteoblastic Cells Are Involved in Osteoclast Formation

Abstract: We developed a co-culture system with mouse spleen cells and osteoblastic cells to examine the role of osteoblasts in osteoclast formation. When mouse spleen cells and osteoblastic cells isolated from fetal mouse calvariae were co-cultured in the presence of 10 nM 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1 alpha,25(OH)2D3], numerous tartrate-resistant acid phosphate (TRACP)-positive mononuclear and multinucleated cells were formed within 8 days. Neither the same co-cultures without the vitamin nor separate cultures of… Show more

“…These cells were maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 15 mM HEPES buffer, 10% foetal bovine seruman antibiotic solution of penicillin (100 U ml À1 ) and streptomycin (100 mg ml À1 ). Normal murine osteoblast cells were isolated from murine skull bone as described elsewhere (Takahashi et al, 1988). These cells were maintained in a-MEM supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum and an antibiotic solution of penicillin (100 U ml À1 ) and streptomycin (100 mg ml À1 ).…”

“…The latter produce factors that are required for the maturation and terminal differentiation of osteoclast precursor cells. It appears that physical interactions between osteoclast precursor cells and mesenchymal support cells are necessary for osteoclasts to form in response to signals from most resorption stimuli (13).…”

“…Osteoblasts or bone marrow stromal cells are involved in osteoclastogenesis through a mechanism involving cell-to-cell contact with osteoclast progenitors (4,5). Studies of M-CSF-deficient op/op mice have shown that M-CSF produced by osteoblasts is an essential factor for osteoclastogenesis (6,7).…”
