Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (MCSF) and osteoprotegerin ligand (OPGL), both produced by osteoblasts/stromal cells, are essential factors for osteoclastogenesis. Whether local MCSF levels regulate the amount of osteoclast formation is unclear. Two culture systems, ST-2 and Chinese hamster ovary-membrane-bound MCSF (CHO-mMCSF)-Tet-OFF cells, were used to study the role of mMCSF in osteoclast formation. Cells from bone marrow (BMM) or spleen were cultured with soluble OPGL on glutaraldehyde-fixed cell layers; osteoclasts formed after 7 days. Osteoclast number was proportional to the amount of soluble OPGL added. In contrast, varying mMCSF levels in the ST-2 or CHO-mMCSF-Tet-OFF cell layers, respectively by variable plating or by addition of doxycycline, did not affect BMM osteoclastogenesis: 20–450 U of mMCSF per well generated similar osteoclast numbers. In contrast, spleen cells were resistant to mMCSF: osteoclastogenesis required ≥250 U per well and further increased as mMCSF rose higher. Our results demonstrate that osteoclast formation in the local bone environment is dominated by OPGL. Increasing mMCSF above basal levels does not further enhance osteoclast formation from BMMs, indicating that mMCSF does not play a dominant regulatory role in the bone marrow.

IL-33 is an important inflammatory mediator in allergy, asthma, and joint inflammation, acting via its receptor, ST2L, to elicit Th2 cell cytokine secretion. IL-33 is related to IL-1 and IL-18, which both influence bone metabolism, IL-18 in particular inhibiting osteoclast formation and contributing to PTH bone anabolic actions. We found IL-33 immunostaining in osteoblasts in mouse bone and IL-33 mRNA expression in cultured calvarial osteoblasts, which was elevated by treatment with the bone anabolic factors oncostatin M and PTH. IL-33 treatment strongly inhibited osteoclast formation in bone marrow and spleen cell cultures but had no effect on osteoclast formation in receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand/macrophage colony-stimulating factor-treated bone marrow macrophage (BMM) or RAW264.7 cultures, suggesting a lack of direct action on immature osteoclast progenitors. However, osteoclast formation from BMM was inhibited by IL-33 in the presence of osteoblasts, T cells, or mature macrophages, suggesting these cell types may mediate some actions of IL-33. In bone marrow cultures, IL-33 induced mRNA expression of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor, IL-4, IL-13, and IL-10; osteoclast inhibitory actions of IL-33 were rescued only by combined antibody ablation of these factors. In contrast to osteoclasts, IL-33 promoted matrix mineral deposition by long-term ascorbate treated primary osteoblasts and reduced sclerostin mRNA levels in such cultures after 6 and 24 h of treatment; sclerostin mRNA was also suppressed in IL-33-treated calvarial organ cultures. In summary, IL-33 stimulates osteoblastic function in vitro but inhibits osteoclast formation through at least three separate mechanisms. Autocrine and paracrine actions of osteoblast IL-33 may thus influence bone metabolism.

Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) is essential for differentiation of osteoclasts and macrophages from a common bone marrow precursor. Using ST-2 stromal cell/murine bone marrow coculture, we studied the effects of increasing amounts of M-CSF on differentiation of macrophages and osteoclasts. Addition of exogenous M-CSF caused a dose-dependent 98% decrease in tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cells, accompanied by a 2.5-fold increase in nonspecific esterase-staining macrophages. Similar decrease in osteoclastic functional activity, including 125I-labeled calcitonin binding and calcitonin-stimulated adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production, were observed. Addition of exogenous M-CSF beyond 6 days in coculture had a decreasing ability to inhibit osteoclast formation, suggesting that M-CSF exerts its effects early in osteoclast differentiation, during the proposed proliferative phase of osteoclast formation. Similarly, early addition of neutralizing anti-M-CSF inhibited osteoclast formation, with diminishing effects beyond day 9. These results suggest that local high concentrations of M-CSF may influence the early determination of terminal differentiation into either macrophages or osteoclasts.

Normal dynamic loading prevents bone resorption; however, the means whereby biophysical factors reduce osteoclast activity are not understood. We show here that mechanical strain (2% at 10 cycles per minute) applied to murine marrow cultures reduced 1,25(OH)2D3-stimulated osteoclast formation by 50%. This was preceded by decreased expression of osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF/TRANCE). RT-PCR for ODF/TRANCE revealed that ODF/TRANCE mRNA in strained cultures was 59 ± 3% of that seen in control cultures. No significant effects on total cell count, thymidine uptake, or alkaline phosphatase activity were induced by strain. To isolate the cell targeted by strain, primary stromal cells were cultured from marrow. Mechanical strain also reduced mRNA for ODF/TRANCE to 60% that of control in these cells. In contrast, mRNA for membrane-bound macrophage colony-stimulating factor was not significantly affected. Soluble ODF (∼2 ng/ml) was able to reverse the effect of strain, returning osteoclast numbers to control. Because osteoclast formation is dependent upon ODF/TRANCE expression, strain-induced reductions in this factor may contribute to the accompanying reduction in osteoclastogenesis.

Slc1a5 (ASCT2) encodes a small neutral amino-acid exchanger and is the most well-studied glutamine transporter in cancercells. To investigate the role of Slc1a5 in osteoclastogenesis, we developed Slc1a5-deficient mice by using a conventional gene-targeting approach. The Slc1a5−/− mice showed no obvious abnormalities in growth. Glutamine uptake was assessed in Slc1a5+/+ and Slc1a5−/− bone marrow cells stimulated with RANKL. The rate of glutamine uptake in Slc1a5−/− bone marrow cellswas reduced to 70% of that of cells from Slc1a5+/+ bone marrow. To confirm the involvement of Slc1a5 in osteoclast formation, bone marrow cells derived from Slc1a5+/+ or Slc1a5−/− mice were stimulated with RANKL and macrophage colony-stimulating factor and stained with tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase. The bone resorption activity and actin ring formation of stimulated cells were measured. The formation of multinucleated osteoclasts in bone marrow cells isolated from Slc1a5−/− mice was severely impaired compared with those from Slc1a5+/+ mice. RANKL-induced expression of ERK, NFκB, p70S6K, and NFATc1 was suppressed in Slc1a5−/− osteoclasts. These results show that Slc1a5 plays an important role in osteoclast formation.

Impaired host defense post-bone marrow transplant (BMT) is related to overproduction of prostaglandin E2(PGE2) by alveolar macrophages (AMs). We show AMs post-BMT overproduce granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), whereas GM-CSF in lung homogenates is impaired both at baseline and in response to infection post-BMT. Homeostatic regulation of GM-CSF may occur by hematopoietic/structural cell cross talk. To determine whether AM overproduction of GM-CSF influenced immunosuppression post-BMT, we compared mice that received BMT from wild-type donors (control BMT) or mice that received BMT from GM-CSF−/− donors (GM-CSF−/− BMT) with untransplanted mice. GM-CSF−/− BMT mice were less susceptible to pneumonia with Pseudomonas aeruginosa compared with control BMT mice and showed antibacterial responses equal to or better than untransplanted mice. GM-CSF−/− BMT AMs displayed normal phagocytosis and a trend toward enhanced bacterial killing. Surprisingly, AMs from GM-CSF−/− BMT mice overproduced PGE2, but expression of the inhibitory EP2receptor was diminished. As a consequence of decreased EP2receptor expression, we found diminished accumulation of cAMP in response to PGE2stimulation in GM-CSF−/− BMT AMs compared with control BMT AMs. In addition, GM-CSF−/− BMT AMs retained cysteinyl leukotriene production and normal TNF-α response compared with AMs from control BMT mice. GM-CSF−/− BMT neutrophils also showed improved bacterial killing. Although genetic ablation of GM-CSF in hematopoietic cells post-BMT improved host defense, transplantation of wild-type bone marrow into GM-CSF−/− recipients demonstrated that parenchymal cell-derived GM-CSF is necessary for effective innate immune responses post-BMT. These results highlight the complex regulation of GM-CSF and innate immunity post-BMT.

Endogenous cytokines are thought to mediate numerous biologic processes and may account for some adverse effects experienced following the administration of recombinant proteins. This study describes the pattern of endogenous cytokine exposure following high-dose chemotherapy. Blood concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), and erythropoietin (EPO) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods in 68 patients receiving the same ablative chemotherapy regimen (cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, carmustine). Patients were grouped according to cellular support (autologous bone marrow [BM] CSF-primed peripheral blood progenitor cells [PBPCs]) and prescribed growth factor (recombinant human granulocyte or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor [rHuG- CSF or rHuGM-CSF]). Leukocyte reconstitution was most accelerated in the groups treated with PBPCs and rHuG-CSF. IL-6, M-CSF, and TNF-alpha concentrations were higher in the groups treated with rHuGM-CSF and without PBPCs. Maximal endogenous cytokine concentrations occurred approximately 12 days after BM reinfusion. High concentrations of EPO occurred in patients experiencing significant hypotension despite routine transfusions for hematocrit < 42%. High M-CSF and IL-6 levels were associated with increased platelet transfusion requirements. Concentrations of all four cytokines were significantly higher in patients experiencing renal or hepatic toxicity, with elevations occurring in a predictable sequence and M-CSF elevations occurring first. This report shows that endogenous cytokine concentrations may be influenced by either cellular or CSF support and are associated with differences in platelet reconstitution and organ toxicity.
