“…This causes continuous increase of metaphyseal bone, giving with time an appearance of osteopetrosis ( Figure 1). A further morphologic resemblance between the bone of bisphosphonate treated rats and the bones in humans, and some forms of murine osteopetrosis (19,20), is that osteoclasts remain present even though they cease to function. Ineffective proliferation of osteoclasts seems to occur because despite loss of function, their number as well as the number of nuclei (1 3,2 1,22) is increased, and the metaphyseal bone has an increased content of lysosomal enzymes (13,23).…”

“…A perhaps too simple explanation is that bisphosphonates, by binding to hydroxyapatite and slowing its dissolution, have a stabilizing action on bone and so alter its local microenvironment (13,21). There is evidence that bone resorbing cells belong to the hematopoietic system (19). The movement of such cells toward bone may be controlled by a chemotactic gradient from bone margins (25).…”

“…When it was established that osteoclasts took origin from haemopoietic tissue, the mononuclear phagocyte was the first candidate for precursor (see Loutit and Morris, 1979;Marks, 1983;. However, it has not been possible so far to induce mature mononuclear phagocytes to differentiate into osteoclasts (Schneider and Byrnes, 1983;Burger et al, 1984;Chambers and Horton, 19841, and although osteoclasts show some similarities with cells of the mononuclear phagocyte lineage, there are some notable differences (see .…”

“…The osteoclast is thought to be derived from immature marrow cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage (1)(2)(3). However, the osteoclast has been difficult to study directly because ofits relative inaccessibility.…”
