Although M‐CSF and RANKL are sufficient to promote in vitro osteoclastogenesis, in vivo this is a complex process which requires the action of many signalling molecules and cellular crosstalks. In this work, isolated or combined conditioned media, obtained from human adult skin fibroblast and bone marrow cells, were tested for their osteoclastogenic potential, through an indirect co‐culture system, in the absence of recombinant M‐CSF and RANKL. Osteoclastogenesis was assessed on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and CD14+ cell cultures by quantification of total protein content, tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity, presence of multinucleated cells positive for TRAP, RT‐PCR of TRAP, CATK, CA2, c‐myc and c‐src and presence of multinucleated cells displaying actin rings, vitronectin and calcitonin receptors. Cultures supplemented with M‐CSF and RANKL were used as positive controls. It was observed that the conditioned medium from dexamethasone osteogenic‐induced bone marrow cell cultures displayed the highest osteoclastogenic potential, with similar behaviour to that observed in the presence of both M‐CSF and RANKL. Comparatively, fibroblastic conditioned medium elicited a slightly lower osteoclastogenic response. Combination of both conditioned media resulted in a significant increase of TRAP activity. On the other hand, conditioned medium from non‐osteogenic‐induced bone marrow cell cultures presented the lowest osteoclastogenic potential. These results were observed for both PBMC and CD14+ cell cultures, suggesting that fibroblast and osteoblast cells are able to modulate osteoclastogenesis in the absence of physical cell–cell interactions. In addition, osteoclastogenic potential of bone marrow cells increases with their osteoblastic differentiation. J. Cell. Biochem. 109: 205–216, 2010. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.  相似文献

Bone cells produce many glycoproteins potentially involved in the maintenance of healthy bone tissues. Two cytokines produced in inflamed joints, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)alpha and transforming growth factor (TGF)beta, have previously been shown to alter cellular glycosylation which may potentially affect the expression and function of glycoproteins. In order to evaluate models to study the glycodynamics of bone cells, we examined primary human osteoblastic cells from osteoarthritis patients, and compared these to human osteosarcoma cells MG63 and SJSA-1. We showed here for the first time that all of the human osteoblastic cells actively synthesize complex N- and O-glycan chains of bone cell glycoproteins, with quantitative differences between cell types. TNFalpha-induced apoptosis or TGFbeta-induced cell differentiation and proliferation had significant effects on both cell surface carbohydrates and glycosyltransferase activities of osteoblasts and osteosarcoma cells. The results indicate that cultured human bone-derived osteoblastic cells are good models to examine the glycodynamics of osteoblasts under conditions of cell growth and cell death. The changes induced by cytokines can result in altered cell surface functions which may be of importance in osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and other bone diseases.  相似文献

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone tumour in children and adolescents. Accumulating evidence has shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) participate in the development of almost all types of cancer. Here, we investigated the role of miR‐224 in the development and progression of osteosarcoma. We demonstrated that miR‐224 was down‐regulated in osteosarcoma cell lines and tissues. Lower miR‐224 levels were correlated with shorter survivalin osteosarcoma patients. Furthermore, overexpression of miR‐224 suppressed osteosarcoma cell proliferation, migration and invasion and contributed to the increased sensitivity of MG‐63 cells to cisplatin. We identified Rac1 as a direct target gene of miR‐224 in osteosarcoma. Rac1 expression was up‐regulated in the osteosarcoma cell lines and tissues, and there was an inverse correlation between Rac1 and miR‐224 expression in osteosarcoma tissues. Furthermore, rescuing Rac1 expression decreased the sensitivity of miR‐224‐overexpressing MG‐63 cells to cisplatin. We also demonstrated that ectopic expression of Rac1 promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of miR‐224‐overexpressing MG‐63 cells. These data suggest that miR‐224 plays a tumour suppressor role in the development of osteosarcoma and is related to the sensitivity of osteosarcoma to cisplatin.  相似文献

In a co-culture system of mouse spleen cells and osteoblastic cells, we have demonstrated that a suitable microenvironment must be provided by osteoblastic cells in order for osteoclast-like multinucleated cell (MNC) formation. Using this co-culture system, we examined the pathogenetic mechanism underlying the lack of bone resorption in osteosclerotic oc/oc mice. Numerous tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP, an osteoclast marker enzyme)-positive MNCs were formed in response to 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1 alpha,25(OH)2D3] both in co-cultures of oc/oc spleen cells and normal osteoblastic cells and in those of normal spleen cells and oc/oc osteoblastic cells. TRAP-positive MNCs derived from normal spleen cells tended to spread out on culture dishes, whereas those from oc/oc spleen cells remained as small, compact MNCs. When TRAP-positive MNCs enriched from co-cultures of normal spleen cells and oc/oc osteoblastic cells were cultured on dentine slices, they formed numerous resorption pits with ruffled borders and clear zones. In contrast, none of the TRAP-positive MNCs derived from oc/oc spleen cells formed either ruffled borders or resorption pits. These results indicate that the lack of bone resorption in oc/oc mice is due to a defect in osteoclast progenitors rather than the local microenvironment provided by osteoblastic cells.  相似文献

Osteosarcoma is a common malignant bone tumor associated with childhood and adolescence. The results of numerous studies have suggested that hyaluronan plays an important role in regulating the aggressive behavior of various types of cancer cells. However, no studies have addressed hyaluronan with respect to osteosarcomas. In this investigation, the mRNA expression copy number of three mammalian hyaluronan synthases (HAS) was determined using competitive RT-PCR in the osteoblastic osteosarcoma cell line, MG-63. MG-63 are highly malignant osteosarcoma cells with an abundant hyaluronan-rich matrix. The results demonstrated that HAS-2 is the predominant HAS in MG-63. Accumulation of intracellular hyaluronan increased in association with the proliferative phase of these cells. The selective inhibition of HAS-2 mRNA in MG-63 cells by antisense phosphorothioate oligonucleotides resulted in reduced hyaluronan accumulation by these cells. As expected, the reduction in hyaluronan disrupted the assembly of cell-associated matrices. However, of most interest, coincident with the reduction in hyaluronan, there was a substantial decrease in cell proliferation, a decrease in cell motility and a decrease in cell invasiveness. These data suggest that hyaluronan synthesized by HAS-2 in MG-63 plays a crucial role in osteosarcoma cell proliferation, motility, and invasion.  相似文献

Osteosarcoma is a bone tumor that frequently develops during adolescence. 2‐Methoxyestradiol (2‐ME), a naturally occurring metabolite of 17β‐estradiol, induces cell cycle arrest and cell death in human osteosarcoma cells. To investigate whether the osteoprotegrin (OPG) protein plays a role in 2‐ME actions, we studied the effect of 2‐ME treatment on OPG gene expression in human osteosarcoma cells. 2‐ME treatment induced OPG gene promoter activity and mRNA levels. Also, Western blot analysis showed that 2‐ME treatment increased OPG protein levels in MG63, KHOS, 143B and LM7 osteosarcoma cells by 3‐, 1.9‐, 2.8‐, and 2.5‐fold, respectively, but did not affect OPG expression in normal bone cells. In addition, increases in OPG protein levels were observed in osteosarcoma cell culture media after 3 days of 2‐ME treatment. The effect of 2‐ME on osteosarcoma cells was ligand‐specific as parent estrogen, 17β‐estradiol and a tumorigenic estrogen metabolite, 16α‐hydroxyestradiol, which do not affect osteosarcoma cell cycle and cell death, had no effect on OPG protein expression. Furthermore, co‐treating osteosarcoma cells with OPG protein did not further enhance 2‐ME‐mediated anti‐tumor effects. OPG‐released in 2‐ME‐treated cultures led to an increase in osteoblastic activity and a decrease in osteoclast number, respectively. These findings suggest that OPG is not directly involved in 2‐ME‐mediated anti‐proliferative effects in osteosarcoma cells, but rather participates in anti‐resorptive functions of 2‐ME in bone tumor environment.

Cellular differentiation is controlled by a variety of factors including gene methylation, which represses particular genes as cell fate is determined. The incorporation of 5-azacytidine (5azaC) into DNA in vitro prevents methylation and thus can alter cellular differentiation pathways. Human bone marrow fibroblasts and MG63 cells treated with 5azaC were used as models of osteogenic progenitors and of a more mature osteoblast phenotype, respectively. The capacity for differentiation of these cells following treatment with glucocorticoids was investigated. 5azaC treatment led to significant expression of the osteoblastic marker alkaline phosphatase in MG63 osteosarcoma cells, which was further augmented by glucocorticoids; however, in human marrow fibroblasts alkaline phosphatase activity was only observed in glucocorticoid-treated cultures. MG63 cells represent a phenotype late in the osteogenic lineage in which demethylation is sufficient to induce alkaline phosphatase activity. Marrow fibroblasts are at an earlier stage of differentiation and require stimulation with glucocorticoids. In contrast, the expression of osteocalcin, an osteoblastic marker, was unaffected by 5azaC treatment, suggesting that regulation of expression of the osteocalcin gene does not involve methylation. These models provide novel approaches to the study of the control of differentiation in the marrow fibroblastic system.  相似文献

Apert syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by craniosynostosis and bony syndactyly associated with point mutations (S252W and P253R) in the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 2 that cause FGFR2 activation. Here we investigated the role of the S252W mutation of FGFR2 on osteoblastic differentiation. Osteoblastic cells derived from digital bone in two Apert patients with the S252W mutation showed more prominent alkaline phosphatase activity, osteocalcin and osteopontin mRNA expression, and mineralized nodule formation compared with the control osteoblastic cells derived from two independent non-syndromic polydactyly patients. Stable clones of the human MG63 osteosarcoma cells (MG63-Ap and MG63-IIIc) overexpressing a splice variant form of FGFR2 with or without the S252W mutation (FGFR2IIIcS252W and FGFR2IIIc) showed a higher RUNX2 mRNA expression than parental MG63 cells. Furthermore MG63-Ap exhibited a higher osteopontin mRNA expression than did MG63-IIIc. The enhanced osteoblastic marker gene expression and mineralized nodule formation of the MG63-Ap was inhibited by the conditioned medium from the COS-1 cells overexpressing the soluble FGFR2IIIcS252W. Furthermore the FGF2-induced osteogenic response in the mouse calvarial organ culture system was blocked by the soluble FGFR2IIIcS252W. These results show that the S252W mutation in the FGFR2 gene enhances the osteoblast phenotype in human osteoblasts and that a soluble FGFR2 with the S252W mutation controls osteoblast differentiation induced by the S252W mutation through a dominant negative effect on FGFR2 signaling in Apert syndrome.  相似文献

Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a potent stimulator of bone resorption in periodontitis. Co-culture systems of mouse calvaria-derived osteoblasts and bone marrow-derived preosteoclasts were used as an in vitro osteoclast differentiation. This study revealed that co-cultures using ddY or ICR mouse strain responded differently to LPS while responded equally to 1alpha,25(OH)2D3. Thus, the different response to LPS indicates dissimilarity of two mouse stains in their capacity for generating osteoclasts while the two mouse strains share the similarity in response to 1alpha,25(OH)2D3. To identify which cells between osteoblasts and preosteoclasts in the co-culture are responsible for the dissimilarity, the reciprocal co-cultures were performed between ddY and ICR mouse strains. The treatment of 1,25(OH)2D3 to ddY/ICR (osteoblasts from ddY/preosteoclasts from ICR) and ICR/ddY reciprocal co-cultures also showed the similarity. In case of LPS treatment, the results of ddY/ICR were similar to ddY/ddY and the results of the other reciprocal co-culture, ICR/ddY combination, were consistent with those of ICR/ICR. It suggests that the dissimilarity between the two mouse strains may resident in osteoblasts but not in preosteoclasts. Therefore, the osteoblast is responsible for mouse strain-dependent osteoclastogenesis in response to LPS. Although mouse models will continue to provide insights into molecular mechanisms of osteoclastogenesis, caution should be exercised when using different mouse strains, especially ddY and ICR strains as models for osteoclast differentiation.  相似文献

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a major regulator of osteoclastogenesis, bone resorption and vascular calcification. OPG is produced by various cell types including mesenchymally derived cells, in particular, osteoblastic cells. Here we show OPG production by osteoblastic cells was stimulated by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in two human osteosarcoma cell lines (MG63, Saos-2), a mouse pre-osteoblastic cell line (MC3T3-E1) and human bone marrow stromal cells (hMSC) by 152%, 197%, 113% and 45% respectively over 24 h. OPG was measured in the cell culture medium by immunoassay. PDGF isoforms AA, BB and AB show similar stimulation of OPG production. Message for OPG was also increased similarly to the increased secretion into the culture medium. Using specific inhibitors of cell signalling we demonstrate that PDGF acts through the PDGF receptor, PKC, PI3K, ERK and P38 and not via NF-kB or JNK. The importance of PDGF in fracture healing suggests a role for OPG production in countering bone resorption during the early phase of this process.  相似文献

Using the differential hybridization screening method between osteoblastic and fibroblastic cells, a cDNA clone coding for an osteoblast specific protein, named OSF-1, consisting of 168 amino acid residues including a possible 32 amino acid long leader sequence, was isolated from murine osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1. The OSF-1 gene was shown by Northern blotting analysis to be expressed in mouse calvarial osteoblast-enriched cells and in mouse brain tissues, but not in thymus, spleen, kidney, liver, lung, testis or heart. The human counterpart was also found in cDNA libraries from human osteosarcoma cell line MG63 and normal brain tissues. DNA sequence analysis revealed four amino acid sequence differences between the mouse and human, of which only one is located in the mature protein. This extremely high sequence conservation suggests that OSF-1 plays a fundamental role in bone and brain functions.  相似文献

Raman micro-spectroscopy was used to discriminate between different types of bone cells commonly used in tissue engineering of bone, with the aim of developing a method of phenotypic identification and classification. Three types of bone cells were analysed: human primary osteoblasts (HOB), retroviral transfected human alveolar bone cells with SV40 large T antigen (SV40 AB), and osteoblast-like human osteosarcoma derived MG63 cell line. Unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) of the Raman spectra succeeded in discriminating the osteosarcoma derived MG63 cells from the non-tumour cells (HOB and SV40 AB). No significant differences were observed between the Raman spectra of the HOB and SV40 AB cells, confirming the biochemical similarities between the two cell types. Difference spectra between tumour and non-tumour cells suggested that the spectral discrimination is based on the fact that MG63 osteosarcoma derived cells are characterised by lower concentrations of nucleic acids and higher relative concentrations of proteins compared to the non-tumour bone cells. A supervised classification model (LDA) was built and showed high cross-validation sensitivity (100%) and specificity (95%) for discriminating the MG63 cells and the non-tumour cells, with 96% of the cells being correctly classified either as tumour or non-tumour derived cells. This study proves the feasibility of using Raman spectroscopy to identify in situ phenotypic differences in living cells.  相似文献

Normal bone remodeling is maintained by a balance between osteoclast and osteoblast activity, whereas defects in osteoclast activity affecting such balance result in metabolic bone disease. Macrophage-macrophage fusion leading to multinucleated osteoclasts being formed is still not well understood. Here we present PEG-induced fusion of macrophages from both U937/A and J774 cell lines and the induced differentiation and activation of osteoclast-like cells according to the expression of osteoclast markers such as tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and bone resorptive activity. PEG-induced macrophage fusion, during the non-confluent stage, significantly increased the osteoclastogenic activity of macrophages from cell lines compared to that of spontaneous cell fusion in the absence of PEG (polyethylene glycol). The results shown in this work provide evidence that cell fusion per se induces osteoclast-like activity. PEG-fused macrophage differential response to pretreatment with osteoclastogenic factors was also examined in terms of its ability to form TRAP positive multinucleated cells (TPMNC) and its resorptive activity on bovine cortical bone slices. Our work has also led to a relatively simple method regarding those previously reported involving cell co-cultures. Multinucleated osteoclast-like cells obtained by PEG-induced fusion of macrophages from cell lines could represent a suitable system for conducting biochemical studies related to basic macrophage fusion mechanisms, bone-resorption activity and the experimental search for bone disease therapeutic alternatives.  相似文献
