Abstract

The importance of bone stromal cell involvement in osteoclast differentiation has been suggested. However, the detailed mechanism of its regulation is unclear. We investigated whether the soluble factors from osteoblastic cells influence osteoclast lineage cells in a population of rat bone marrow cells depleted of stromal cells. We show here that hematopoietic progenitor cells differentiate into mononuclear precursor cells, the preosteoclasts, that strongly express certain osteoclastic phenotypes in the absence of stromal cells. The multinucleation of the preosteoclasts occurred only in the presence of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 and stromal cells. The preosteoclasts themselves did not have dentine-resorbing activity, but they could differentiate into multinucleate osteoclast-like cells having such activity in the presence of rat primary osteoblasts. This culture system is a unique differentiation system for preosteoclast induction.

    After 3 days, the cells were stained for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase–positive multinucleated cells were counted. Osteoclasts were also generated from rat bone marrow cultures as described previously.28,29 Bone marrow cells were obtained from tibia and femurs of male SD rats and cultured for 4 days in 24-well plates (1 × 106 cells per well) in the presence of 10−8 mol/L 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, 10 ng/mL RANKL, and 10% (v/v) heat-treated conditioned medium of rat osteoblastic cell line ROS17/2.8 (htROSCM).

    Mouse bone marrow cells were obtained from the tibia and femur of mice (C57BL/6, 4-week-old males; Charles River). Bone marrow stromal cells were depleted from mouse bone marrow macrophage (BMM) cells using the Sephadex G-10 (GE Healthcare) column as described previously (18–20). They were cultured in α-MEM (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin and streptomycin (PS) with 20 ng/ml macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF; R&D Systems).

    Rabbit polyclonal antibodies against NF-κB p65 and phosphorylated p38 (Tyr 182)–R and mouse monoclonal antibody against actin (C-2) were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA). Cultures of rat bone marrow cells were carried out as described by Kukita et al.34-35 Briefly, bone marrow cells were isolated from tibias and femurs of rats. For the formation of MNCs, whole bone marrow cells were cultured in 24-well culture plates (Falcon, Lincoln Park, NJ) for 5 days in α-MEM containing 15% FCS in the presence of 10−8 M 1α,25(OH)2D3 and 10% (vol/vol) heat-treated conditioned medium derived from rat osteoblastic cell line ROS17/2.8 (htROSCM), as described by Kukita et al.34 For the formation of POCs, stroma-free bone marrow cells (2 × 106 cells/mL) were cultured in 96-well culture plates (Falcon) for 4 days in α-MEM containing 15% FCS in the presence of 10−8 M 1α,25(OH)2D3and 10% (vol/vol) heat-treated conditioned medium and TNF-α (10 ng/mL) as described previously.33,35
