| Research Abstract |
We have investigated characteristics of osteoclast activating factor expressed by osteoblasts/stromal cells. The method for obtaining a large number of purified mononuclear and multinucleated osteoclasts was established in this study. Using the purification method, we analyzed the mechanism of activation of osteoclasts by osteoblasts/stromal cells.
(1) Osteoblasts enhanced survival of purified mononuclear and multinucleated osteoclasts, which resulted in formation of multinucleated osteoclasts. Osteoblasts also stimulated resorption pit-forming activity of osteoclasts through a mechanism involving cell-to-cell contact.
(2) M-CSF produced by osteoblasts also stimulated the survival of osteoclasts, but failed to stimulated pit-forming activity of osteoclasts.
(3) Osteoblasts obtained from M-CSF-deficient op/op mice stimulated not only survival of osteoclasts but also their pit-forming activity.
(4) Osteoblast-induced pit forming activity of osteoclasts was inhibited by osteoprotegerin (a dec

oy receptor for ODF) simultaneously added.
(5) Osteoclasts expressed high levels of IL-1 type 1 receptors and ODF receptors (RANK). Treatment of osteoclasts with IL-1 or ODF induced activation of NF-κB.
(6) IL-1 and ODF stimulated pit-forming activity of osteoclasts. IL-1 -induced osteoclast activation was inhibited by IL-1 receptor antagonist but not OPG, whereas ODF-induced osteoclast activation was specifically inhibited by OPG.
These results indicate that osteoclast activating factor expressed by osteoblasts/stromal cells is indeed ODF, the cDNA of which cloned in 1998. Recently, it was shown that TRAF6 knockout mice developed severe osteopetrosis. In TRAF6 knockout mice, many osteoclasts were found in bone but they failed to develop ruffled borders. As IL-1 receptors and RANK are shown to be interact with TRAF6, TRAF6-mediated signals appear to be important for IL-1 and RANK-induced activation of osteoclasts. It is also suggested that activation of NF-KB is important for induction of pit-forming activity of osteoclasts. Less
