The characteristics of a monoclonal antibody produced against osteoclast-like multinucleated cells (MNCs) formed in rat bone marrow cultures were examined immunohistochemically and biochemically. The in vitro immunization was performed using as immunogen the MNCs from rat bone marrow cell culture, which revealed many characteristics of osteoclasts. After screening and cloning of hybridomas, the monoclonal antibody HOK 1 was obtained. This antibody reacted weakly with stromal cells and intensely with both MNCs and their putative migratory traces on culture dishes. Immunofluorescent examination of paraffin sections revealed intense reactivity on the epithelium of the choroid plexus, the ileum and the proximal-convoluted tubules of the kidney, and also on bone cells such as osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. Western blotting using purified rat osteopontin verified that the antigen recognized by HOK 1 was osteopontin. Positive HOK 1 immunoreactivity was further observed in the resorption lacunae formed by a culture of MNCs on human tooth slices and on the surface of osteoclasts. The present data suggested that osteopontin is preferentially present on the resorption lacunae in resorbing calcified matrices and that osteoclasts under a specific state might trap this protein on their cell surface.  相似文献

Summary Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were raised by injection of a homogenate of cultured growth cartilage (GC) cells from young rabbit ribs. These mAbs were examined by immunohistochemical staining for their reactivity to paraffin sections of rabbit tissues. The results showed that an mAb reacted preferentially with late hypertrophic and calcified costal GC zones. The mAb also reacted with hypertrophic GC adjacent to bone that existed in sternum and femur, but not to other cartilages, including resting cartilage, articular cartilage, auricular cartilage, nasal cartilage, tracheal cartilage and meniscus cartilage, or with other tissues, including tendon, skin, muscles, lung, liver, heart, thymus, spleen, eye and gut. It reacted with a wider area of the GC zone when the sections were decalcified, although its reactivity with the extended area was much less intensive than that with late hypertrophic and calcified GC zones. On treatment of the sections with bacterial collagenase, neither the reactive area nor its intensity were changed, while when treated with trypsin the reactivity was lost.These results suggest the existence of a certain molecule which distinguishes GC (osteogenic cartilage) from other (non-osteogenic) cartilage. This mAb is a useful probe for distinguishing osteogenic cartilage from non-osteogenic cartilage, and for studying differentiation steps of cartilage cells in endochondral bone formation. The mAb can also be used as a probe for clinical and stored specimens because it reacts with decalcified and paraffin-embedded human specimens.  相似文献

Summary Osteoclast formation in vitro from human progenitor cells was studied in cocultures of periosteum-free murine long-bone rudiments and human fetal tissues. No osteoclasts were generated from chorionic villi or from fetal liver, but bone marrow and purified bone-marrow fractions gave rise to multinucleated cells that resorbed calcified cartilage matrix. These polykarya react very strongly for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TrAP) and upon ultrastructural examination show large ruffled borders in areas of resorption. Resorption of murine calcified cartilage matrix by human osteoclasts was less than resorption by osteoclasts formed from murine fetal bone-marrow cells. Our results show that the murine long-bone rudiment can be used to generate osteoclasts from human sources of progenitor cells and to assess the biological activity of the formed osteoclasts. This coculture system thereby offers possibilities to study human osteoclast pathology in vitro. The use of TrAP as marker for osteoclasts in cell cultures is discussed.These investigations were supported in part by the Foundation for Medical Research (MEDIGON; grant no. 900-541-069), which is subsidized by the Netherlands Organization for the Advancement of Pure Research (ZWO)  相似文献

Diploid rat 3Y1 fibroblasts proliferate to a saturation density, where they are arrested with a 2N DNA content. After treatment to induce ploidy conversion, the conversion rate can be estimated by determining the fraction of cells with a 4N DNA content in the confluent culture using flow cytometry. Using this method it was found that during mitotic inhibition with colcemid, 3Y1 cells were converted to tetraploids with a high efficiency (above 80%); the optimum colcemid concentration and exposure period were 40 ng/ml and 8 hr, respectively. When metaphase cells were reseeded with 40 ng/ml of colcemid, they delayed anchorage to a dish; 6 hr was required for complete adhesion (in the absence of colcemid only 1 hr was required). When reseeded metaphase cells were exposed to 40 ng/ml of colcemid for 5 hr followed by its removal, a greater fraction of the cells anchored to the substratum were converted to tetraploids, whereas most of the floating cells were not. A greater fraction of the anchored cells had formed nuclei, whereas most of the floating cells preserved condensed metaphase chromosomes. These results indicate that the cells which have formed nuclear structure without chromosome separation during mitotic inhibition are irreversibly committed to ploidy conversion, with restoration of anchorage.  相似文献

In this report, we have described monoclonal antibody (mAb) 24 which bound specifically to a 174,000 polypeptide present on 45 +/- 16% of human monocytes. Expression of the 24 molecule increased on monocytes when they were cultured. When tissues were examined using immunohistochemical techniques, macrophages (Mph) associated with skin and with lymphoid organs strongly expressed the mAb 24 molecule, whereas, Mph in nonlymphoid organs were only weakly positive. mAb 24 reacted with cells of Mph morphology plus cells of interdigitating appearance in T-cell areas, suggesting that these cells might belong to the Mph cell lineage. There was no reaction with other types of cells, such as Langerhans cells, osteoclasts, dendritic reticulum cells, and endothelial cells. The fact that the molecule recognised by mAb 24 is particularly associated with Mph in lymphoid tissue suggests that it might have a function in immune responses.  相似文献

Ascorbic acid (AA) is known to regulate cell differentiation; however, the effects of AA on osteoclastogenesis, especially on its early stages, remain unclear. To examine the effects of AA throughout the process of osteoclast development, we established a culture system in which tartrate-resistant acid phosphate (TRAP)-positive osteoclasts were induced from embryonic stem cells without stromal cell lines. In this culture system, the number of TRAP-positive cells was strongly increased by the addition of AA during the development of osteoclast precursors, and reducing agents, 2-mercaptoethanol, monothioglycerol, and dithiothreitol, failed to substitute for AA. The effect of AA was stronger when it was added during the initial 4 days during the development of mesodermal cells than when it was added during the last 4 days. On day 4 of the culture period, AA increased the total cell recovery and frequency of osteoclast precursors. Magnetic cell sorting using anti-Flk-1 antibody enriched osteoclast precursors on day 4, and the proportion of Flk-1-positive cells but not that of platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha-positive cells was increased by the addition of AA. These results suggest that AA might promote osteoclastogenesis of ES cells through increasing Flk-1-positive cells, which then give rise to osteoclast precursors.  相似文献

The prevailing view for many years has been that osteoclasts do not express parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptors and that PTH's effects on osteoclasts are mediated indirectly via osteoblasts. However, several recent reports suggest that osteoclasts express PTH receptors. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that human osteoclasts formed in vitro express functional PTH type 1 receptors (PTH1R). Peripheral blood monocytes (PBMC) were cultured on bone slices or plastic culture dishes with human recombinant RANK ligand (RANKL) and recombinant human macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) for 16-21 days. This resulted in a mixed population of mono- and multi-nucleated cells, all of which stained positively for the human calcitonin receptor. The cells actively resorbed bone, as assessed by release of C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen and the formation of abundant resorption pits. We obtained evidence for the presence of PTH1R in these cells by four independent techniques. First, using immunocytochemistry, positive staining for PTH1R was observed in both mono- and multi-nucleated cells intimately associated with resorption cavities. Second, PTH1R protein expression was demonstrated by Western blot analysis. Third, the cells expressed PTH1R mRNA at 21 days and treatment with 10(-7) M hPTH (1-34) reduced PTH1R mRNA expression by 35%. Finally, bone resorption was reproducibly increased by two to threefold when PTH (1-34) was added to the cultures. These findings provide strong support for a direct stimulatory action of PTH on human osteoclasts mediated by PTH1R. This suggests a dual regulatory mechanism, whereby PTH acts both directly on osteoclasts and also, indirectly, via osteoblasts.  相似文献

Osteoclastoma-derived giant cells were used to produce 11 mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAb) reactive against human osteoclasts on undecalcified sections of adult human bone. All exhibited unique reactivities across a wide range of human tissues. Three in particular demonstrated distinctive reactivities; C35 was highly selective for bone osteoclasts, C27 showed selective reactivity for osteoclasts, tissue macrophages and blood-borne monocytes, and C22 showed selective membrane staining of osteoclasts. Consequently, C22 was used to coat Dynabeads to affinity-purify viable human osteoclasts from osteoclastoma-derived cell suspensions. Immunocytochemical staining of inflammatory osteoarthritic synovium/granulation tissue demonstrated positivity in the majority of giant cells with MAb C22 and C27. In contrast, C35 reacted with only very occasional giant cells. Furthermore, multinucleated cells formed in long-term human bone marrow cultures demonstrated similar selective staining. C27 stained all giant cells and the majority of mononuclear cells. C22 detected only a small proportion of giant cells. In contrast to its staining on bone osteoclasts, C22 demonstrated granular cytoplasmic staining in cultured giant cells. C35 stained no cells at all in these cultures. These MAb can therefore distinguish between giant cells of various origins and authentic mature osteoclasts. Alternatively, they can recognize antigens expressed at different stages of osteoclast differentiation and therefore provide an excellent tool for the study of the human osteoclast lineage.  相似文献

FORMATION OF BONE TISSUE IN CULTURE FROM ISOLATED BONE CELLS   总被引:8,自引:4,他引:4       下载免费PDF全文
A system is described for the formation of bone tissue in culture from isolated rat bone cells. The isolated bone cells were obtained from embryonic rat calvarium and periosteum or from traumatized, lifted periosteum of young rats. The cells were cultured for a period of up to 8 wk, during which time the morphological, biochemical, and functional properties of the cultures were studied. Formation of bone tissue by these isolated bone cells was shown, in that the cells demonstrated osteoblastic morphology in light and electron microscopy, the collagen formed was similar to bone collagen, there was mineralization specific for bone, and the cells reacted to the hormone calcitonin by increased calcium ion uptake. Calcification of the fine structure of the cells and the matrix is described. Three stages in the calcification process were observed by electron microscopy. It is concluded that these bone cells growing in vitro are able to function in a way similar to such cells in vivo. This tissue culture system starting from isolated bone cells is therefore suitable for studies on the structure and function of bone.  相似文献

A mAb was isolated (mAb BD6) that recognized a surface glycoprotein on rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL-2H3). The antibody bound to 2 x 10(6) molecules/cell and specifically blocked IgE binding (50% inhibition with 3.48 +/- 0.51 micrograms/ml; mean +/- SEM), although neither IgE nor anti-high affinity IgE receptor (anti-Fc epsilon RI) mAb blocked mAb BD6 binding to the cells. mAb BD6 did not affect the rate of dissociation of cell-bound IgE, nor did it induce or inhibit the internalization of IgE. mAb BD6 did not release histamine. However, it did cause rapid spreading of the cells. By 1 h the cells had retracted to a spherical shape with their surface covered with membranous spikes, and they could easily be detached from the tissue culture plate. These changes differed from those observed after Fc epsilon RI activation. mAb BD6 immunoprecipitated a complex of two proteins, 38 to 50 kDa and 135 kDa from 125I-surface labeled rat basophilic leukemia cells that are not subunits of Fc epsilon RI. Chemical cross-linking studies showed that these molecules are associated on the cell surface. By immunoblotting, mAb BD6 reacted with a 40-kDa protein. Therefore, mAb BD6 binds to a surface protein that is close to the Fc epsilon RI and sterically inhibits 125I-IgE binding.  相似文献

We elucidated the localization of Thy-1–positive cells in the perichondrium of fetal rat limb bones to clarify the distribution of osteogenic cells in the process of endochondral ossification. We also examined the formation of calcified bone-like matrices by isolated perichondrial cells in vitro. At embryonic day (E) 15.5, when the cartilage primodia were formed, immunoreactivity for Thy-1 was detected in cells of the perichondrium adjacent to the zone of hypertrophic chondrocytes. At E17.5, when the bone collar formation and the vascular invasion were initiated, fibroblast-like cells at the sites of vascular invasion, as well as in the perichondrium, showed Thy-1 labeling. Double immunostaining for Thy-1 and osterix revealed that Thy-1 was not expressed in the osterix-positive osteoblasts. Electron microscopic analysis revealed that Thy-1–positive cells in the zone of hypertrophic chondrocytes came in contact with blood vessels. Perichondrial cells isolated from limb bones showed alkaline phosphatase activity and formed calcified bone-like matrices after 4 weeks in osteogenic medium. RT-PCR demonstrated that Thy-1 expression decreased as calcified nodules formed. Conversely, the expression of osteogenic marker genes Runx2, osterix, and osteocalcin increased. These results indicate that Thy-1 is a good marker for characterizing osteoprogenitor cells. (J Histochem Cytochem 58:455–462, 2010)  相似文献

Paget’s disease of bone (PDB) is a late-onset disorder characterised by focal areas of increased bone resorption, with osteoclasts that are increased in size, multinuclearity, number and activity. PDB-causing missense and nonsense variants in the gene encoding Sequestosome-1/p62 (SQSTM1) have been identified, all of which cluster in and around the ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain of the protein. SQSTM1 is ubiquitously expressed and there is, as yet, no clear reason why these mutations only appear to cause an osteoclast-related phenotype.Using co-immunoprecipitation and tandem mass spectrometry, we identified a novel interaction in human osteoclast-like cells between SQSTM1 and Autophagy-Linked FYVE domain-containing protein (ALFY/WDFY3). Endogenous ALFY and SQSTM1 both localised within the nuclei of osteoclasts and their mononuclear precursors. When osteoclasts were starved to induce autophagy, SQSTM1 and ALFY relocated to the cytoplasm where they formed large aggregates, with cytoplasmic relocalisation appearing more rapid in mature osteoclasts than in precursors in the same culture. Overexpression of wild-type SQSTM1 in HEK293 cells also resulted in the formation of cytoplasmic aggregates containing SQSTM1 and endogenous ALFY, as did overexpression of a PDB-causing missense mutant form of SQSTM1, indicating that this mutation does not impair the formation of SQSTM1- and ALFY-containing aggregates.Expression of ALFY in bone cells has not previously been reported, and the process of autophagy has not been studied with respect to osteoclast activity. We have identified a functional interaction between SQSTM1 and ALFY in osteoclasts under conditions of cell stress. The difference in response to starvation between mature osteoclasts and their precursors may begin to explain the cell-specific functional effects of SQSTM1 mutations in PDB.  相似文献

Matrix protein effects on the differentiated activity of osteoclasts were examined in order to understand the functional significance of bone protein interactions with osteoclasts. Bone acidic glycoprotein 75 (BAG 75) from rat calvariae inhibited the resorption of bone by isolated rat osteoclasts with IC50 = 1 nM compared to IC50 = 10 nM for chicken osteoclasts. By contrast, other phosphoproteins similarly isolated from bone were less effective in inhibiting resorption with IC50 = 100 nM osteopontin and IC50 greater than 100 nM bone sialoprotein. Likewise, RGD-containing matrix proteins vitronectin, thrombospondin, and fibronectin all displayed IC50 greater than or equal to 100 nM. Mechanistically, 10 nM BAG 75 marginally slowed, but did not block, the association of bone particles with chicken osteoclasts compared with osteopontin or control media. Pretreatment of osteoclasts with 50 nM BAG 75 had no effect on subsequent bone resorption; however, pretreatment of bone with BAG 75 before incubation with osteoclasts reduced the extent of resorption by 55%. These data suggest that a BAG 75/bone surface complex, rather than BAG 75 alone, represents the inhibitory form. Consistent with this hypothesis, direct binding studies provided no evidence of specific, high-affinity receptors on osteoclasts for BAG 75, nor was an excess of BAG 75 (100 nM) able to compete with 0.3 nM sechistatin for osteoclastic avB3-like receptors. However, BAG 75 displayed cooperative binding to tissue fragments and bone particles at concentrations greater than 10 nM, suggesting that BAG 75 self-associates into higher-order species on bone surfaces. Electron microscopy confirmed the time-dependent polymerization of BAG 75 into interconnecting filaments. These data suggest a novel, inhibitory activity for surface-bound BAG 75 on bone resorption that does not appear to involve the osteoclastic avB3-like integrin.  相似文献

Avascular cartilage is replaced by highly vascularized bone tissue during endochondral ossification, a process involving capillary invasion of calcified hypertrophic cartilage in association with apoptosis of hypertrophic chondrocytes, degradation of cartilage matrix and deposition of bone matrix. All of these events are closely controlled, especially by cytokines and growth factors. Leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF), a member of the gp130 cytokine family, is involved in osteoarticular tissue metabolism and might participate in osteogenesis. Immunohistochemical staining showed that LIF is expressed in hypertrophic chondrocytes and vascular sprouts of cartilage and bone during rat and human osteogenesis. LIF is also present in osteoblasts but not in osteoclasts. Observations in a rat endochondral ossification model were confirmed by studies of human cartilage biopsies from foetuses with osteogenesis imperfecta. LIF was never detected in adult articular chondrocytes and bone-marrow mesenchymal cells. These results and other data in the literature suggest that LIF is involved in the delicate balance between the rate of formation of calcified cartilage and its vascularization for bone development.  相似文献

Studies involving bone marrow transplantation of osteopetrotic rodents have provided evidence for the lineage of the ostcoclast. Recent investigations have demonstrated that pluripotent hemopoietic stem cells (PHSC) isolated from the bone marrow of normal animals cure the skeletal sclerosis and result in the formation of normal osteoclasts when transplanted into ia osteopetrotic rats. A criticism of these findings is that the microenvironment of the osteopetrotic bone and the bone marrow compartment may be unique in its ability to induce the differentiation of these stem cells into osteoclasts. To test this hypothesis, PHSC were co-cultured with fetal metatarsal bones from normal animals. PHSC were isolated from normal bone marrow using FITC-labelled monoclonal antibodies directed against rat Thy 1.1 and fluorescence-activated cell sorting. The PHSC or whole mononuclear bone marrow were co-cultured with 20-day fetal rat metatarsal rudiments. In some cultures, recombinant mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rGM-CSF) (250 U per culture) was added in addition to the PHSC. After 7 days the fetal bones were prepared for light and electron microscopy and the number of osteoclasts generated in vitro was determined. The PHSC isolate generated as many osteoclasts as the whole mononuclear bone marrow. The addition of rGM-CSF did not enhance the generation of osteoclasts in either control bones or in bones cultured with PHSC. These results are equivalent to those reported in the osteopetrotic transplant system.  相似文献

We have demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence the cellular localization of a monoclonal antibody (mAb 224-58), produced after immunization of a mouse with human central nervous system (CNS) myelin. Serologically, mAb 224-58 was found to be specific for 3'-sulfomonogalactosylglycolipids, namely 3'-sulfogalactosylceramide (SGC) and 3'-sulfogalactosyl 1-O-alkyl ether 2-O-acylglycerol (seminolipid). This mAb did not bind to SGC-containing tissues such as kidney, liver, spleen, or brain, nor to muscle. However mAb 224-58 did stain positively mouse, rat, and human peripheral nerve sections. In these latter sections, mAb 224-58 was bound to Schwann cell bodies and processes. The specificity of mAb 224-58 for Schwann cells was ascertained on teased rat sciatic nerves and rat Schwann cell cultures. Cells positive for mAb 224-58 were also positive for laminin, and negative for Thy 1-1 antigens both in teased fibers and Schwann cell cultures. In addition, in teased nerve preparations, mAb 224-58-positive cells were also galactosylceramide (GalC)- and SGC-positive. Isolated Schwann cells also expressed 224-58 antigen, even after prolonged time in culture. On testis sections, which contain both SGC and seminolipid, the SGC-positive cells, i.e., the spermatogonia, were always 224-58-negative. But the other germinal cells were 224-58-positive. This suggests that although 224-58 does not discriminate between SGC and seminolipid in serological tests, these lipids in their naturally occurring membrane acquire a spatial configuration that renders them distinguishable to their respective antibody.  相似文献

The macrophage-specific CSF (CSF-1), purified from murine L cell-conditioned medium, supports the in vitro proliferation and survival of various murine mononuclear phagocyte colony-forming cells. In this report we describe the production and functional characterization of two monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to CSF-1 obtained from rat X rat hybridomas. These two mAb are functionally distinct and recognize different epitopes on CSF-1. The mAb 5A1 binds to and inhibits the biologic function of CSF-1, and the second mAb (D24) binds CSF-1 but does not neutralize its biologic activity. The mAb 5A1 inhibits colony formation of tissue mononuclear phagocyte colony-forming cells as well as the committed bone marrow stem cells for both granulocytes and monocytes. The extent of colony inhibition by mAb 5A1 is dependent on the tissue origin of colony-forming cells. CSF-1 complexed with mAb 5A1 does not bind to its cell surface receptor of peritoneal exudate macrophages, and mAb 5A1 does not complex with cell-bound CSF-1. Although both bone marrow cell-derived macrophages and J774.1 macrophages bind CSF-1, mAb 5A1 inhibits the proliferation of only bone marrow cell-derived macrophages. The non-neutralizing mAb D24 does not block binding of CSF-1 to its cellular receptor, and it recognizes cell-bound CSF-1.  相似文献

Summary To investigate the mechanisms whereby bone cells absorb organic bone-matrix components during endochondral bone development, rat humeri were examined, employing horseradish peroxidase as a soluble protein tracer.Intravenously-injected peroxidase filled the osteoid layer and penetrated into the osteocyte lacunae and canaliculi, but did not enter the mineralized bone matrix. Whereas osteocytes rarely took up exogenous peroxidase, osteoblasts and osteoclasts actively endocytosed peroxidase in pinocytotic coated vesicles, tubular structures, and vacuoles. They also formed endocytotic vacuoles containing peroxidase in the Golgi area. The Golgi apparatus and dense bodies of these bone cells were, however, free of reaction products. Osteoclast ruffled borders were responsible for peroxidase absorption. In the osteoblast, osteocyte and osteoclast, endogenous peroxidatic reaction was detected only in mitochondria and not in other membrane-bounded vesicles and bodies. These results strongly suggest that both osteoblasts and osteoclasts participate in the resorption of bone-matrix organic components during bone remodelling.  相似文献
