Osteoclast Differentiation Requires Ascorbic Acid

Abstract: Osteoclast differentiation assays are usually conducted in alpha minimal essential medium (␣-MEM). We reasoned that determining which components of this media are critical for osteoclast differentiation might provide insight into the mechanisms that regulate osteoclast differentiation. This study demonstrates that ascorbic acid is the crucial component of ␣-MEM that stimulates differentiation of murine osteoclasts in cocultures with murine mesenchymal support cells. Thus, supplementation with ascorbic acid all… Show more

“…(5) The number of TRAP ϩ multinuclear cells (MNCs) containing three or more nuclei was determined as previously described. (44) Previously, we have shown that the TRAP ϩ MNCs that are induced by conditioned media from marrow cells incubated with cpTi particles form substantial amounts of resorption lacunae.

“…ST2 cells (passage were plated at 8 × 10 4 cells/ cm 2 in 24 well plates. Twenty-four hours later (day 0 of differentiation) Balb/c marrow cells were added at 2.1 × 10 4 cells/cm 2 to the ST2 cell cultures in MEM (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), 10% (v/v) FBS, 1% (v/v) non-essential amino acids, antibiotic/antimycotic, 7 × 10 -3 M ascorbic acid (Invitrogen), 1 × 10 -7 M dexamethasone, 1 × 10 -5 M, vitamin D 3 (Biomol, Plymouth Meeting, PA) 100 ng/ml biotin, 1.36 ug/ml vitamin B12, and 299 ng/ml lipoic acid [37].
