Abstract Both human and murine osteoclasts can be derived in vitro from hematopoietic cells or monocytes that are cocultured with osteoblasts or marrow-derived stromal cells. The osteoclastogenic stimulus provided by murine osteoblasts and marrow-derived stromal cells is now known to be mediated by osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF), a membrane-bound tumor necrosis factor-related ligand. This study demonstrates that mouse spleen cells and monocytes form osteoclasts when cultured in the presence of macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and a soluble form of murine ODF (sODF). Numerous multinucleated osteoclasts expressing tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and calcitonin receptor (CTR) formed within 7 days of culture and engaged in extensive lacunar bone resorption. Osteoclast number and bone resorption area was dependent on sODF concentration. Long-term cultured human monocytes also formed bone resorbing osteoclasts in response to co-stimulation by sODF and M-CSF, although this required more than 11 days in culture. This human osteoclast differentiation was strongly inhibited by granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor. This study further characterises murine osteoclast differentiation caused by sODF and M-CSF co-stimulation in vitro, and shows that the same co-stimulation causes human osteoclast differentiation to occur. We propose that this methodology can be employed to investigate the direct effects of cytokines and other factors on human osteoclast differentiation.

Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) is essential for murine osteoclast formation and its role in human hematopoiesis in vitro is not fully defined. Therefore, we have investigated the effect of M-CSF on the formation of human osteoclasts in vitro. M-CSF was found to induce substantial bone resorption and osteoclast formation in a dose-responsive and time-dependent manner above that induced by 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25 vitamin D3) in cultures of human bone marrow (BM) stromal cells sedimented onto devitalized bone. By day 14 there was a mean of approximately 50% of the surfaces of the bone slices resorbed compared with only 6% in cultures treated with 1,25 vitamin D3 alone. Osteoclasts were identified as 23c6+ cells (an antibody that recognizes the vitronectin receptor), 87.5% of which coexpressed the calcitonin receptor. The number of 23c6+ cells correlated strongly with bone resorption spatially, and in a dose-responsive and time-dependent manner; the correlation coefficient in cultures treated with 1,25 vitamin D3 alone was 0.856 and those treated with both M-CSF and 1,25 vitamin D3 was 0.880. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, IL-1 beta, IL-3, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, transforming growth factor-beta, leukemia inhibitory factor, and IL-11 did not increase bone resorption above that in 1,25 vitamin D3-treated cultures. We also found that 1,25 vitamin D3 increased, to a minor but significant degree, both bone resorption and the concentration of M-CSF in the culture supernatants above that in vehicle-treated cultures, indicating that M-CSF is present in our BM cultures, but that there is insufficient to induce substantial osteoclast formation. These results define a critical role for M-CSF in the formation of human osteoclasts.

Abstract Although bone resorption and osteoclast numbers are reduced in osteopetrotic (op/op) mice, osteoclasts are nevertheless present and functional, despite the absence of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). This suggests that alternative factors can partly compensate for the crucial actions of M-CSF in osteoclast induction. It was found that when nonadherent bone marrow cells were incubated in RANKL with Flt3 ligand (FL) without exogenous M-CSF, tartrate-resistance acid phosphatase (TRAP)–positive cells were formed, and bone resorption occurred. Without FL, only macrophagelike TRAP-negative cells were present. Granulocyte-macrophage CSF, stem cell factor, interleukin-3, and vascular endothelial growth factor could not similarly replace the need for M-CSF. TRAP-positive cell induction in FL was not due to synergy with M-CSF produced by the bone marrow cells themselves because FL also enabled their formation from the hemopoietic cells of op/op mice, which lack any M-CSF. FL appeared to substitute for M-CSF by supporting the differentiation of adherent cells that express mRNA for RANK and responsiveness to RANKL. To determine whether FL can account for the compensation for M-CSF deficiency that occurs in vivo, FL signaling was blockaded in op/op mice by the injection of soluble recombinant Flt3. It was found that the soluble receptor induced a substantial decrease in osteoclast number, strongly suggesting that FL is responsible for the partial compensation for M-CSF deficiency that occurs in these mice.

Human osteoclast formation from monocyte precursors under the action of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) was suppressed by granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), with down-regulation of critical osteoclast-related nuclear factors. GM-CSF in the presence of RANKL and macrophage colony-stimulating factor resulted in mononuclear cells that were negative for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and negative for bone resorption. CD1a, a dendritic cell marker, was expressed in GM-CSF, RANKL, and macrophage colony-stimulating factor-treated cells and absent in osteoclasts. Microarray showed that the CC chemokine, monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), was profoundly repressed by GM-CSF. Addition of MCP-1 reversed GM-CSF suppression of osteoclast formation, recovering the bone resorption phenotype. MCP-1 and chemokine RANTES (regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted) permitted formation of TRAP-positive multinuclear cells in the absence of RANKL. However, these cells were negative for bone resorption. In the presence of RANKL, MCP-1 significantly increased the number of TRAP-positive multinuclear bone-resorbing osteoclasts (p= 0.008). When RANKL signaling through NFATc1 was blocked with cyclosporin A, both MCP-1 and RANTES expression was down-regulated. Furthermore, addition of MCP-1 and RANTES reversed the effects of cyclosporin A and recovered the TRAP-positive multinuclear cell phenotype. Our model suggests that RANKL-induced chemokines are involved in osteoclast differentiation at the stage of multinucleation of osteoclast precursors and provides a rationale for increased osteoclast activity in inflammatory conditions where chemokines are abundant.
