Abstract
Osteoinductive factor (OIF) is a glycoprotein in bone that induces ectopic bone formation. Implantation of OIF plus transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) type 1 or 2 into subcutaneous tissues of rats induces formation of bone at the implantation site. Since TGF-beta is also present in bone matrix and inhibits formation of multinucleated cells that express an osteoclast phenotype in long-term human marrow cultures, we tested the effects of OIF on formation of these osteoclast-like cells to determine the effects of OIF on cells in the osteoclast lineage. We found that OIF inhibited total multinucleated cell (MNC) formation in a dose-dependent fashion and preferentially inhibited formation of MNCs that react with monoclonal antibody 23c6 (23c6-positive MNCs), an antibody that identifies osteoclasts. In addition, low concentrations of OIF in combination with low concentrations of TGF-beta acted synergistically to inhibit 23c6-positive MNC formation. The inhibition of 23c6-positive MNC formation by OIF was not mediated by prostaglandin synthesis. These data suggest that regulatory growth factors, such as OIF or TGF-beta, that are stored within the bone matrix and released when bone is resorbed can serve as natural inhibitors of osteoclast activity by inhibiting osteoclast formation.

Abstract
The effects of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), and interleukin 3 (IL3) on osteoclast formation were tested by incubation of murine hemopoietic cells on plastic coverslips and bone slices with GM-CSF, M-CSF, or IL3, with or without 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). Osteoclastic differentiation was detected after incubation by scanning electron microscopical examination of bone slices for evidence of osteoclastic excavations, and by autoradiographic assessment of cells for 1,25(OH)2D3-calcitonin (CT) binding. The differentiation of CT-receptor-positive cells preceded bone resorption, but the number that developed correlated with the extent of bone resorption (r = 0.88). M-CSF and GM-CSF substantially reduced bone resorption and CT-receptor-positive cell formation. The degree of inhibition of bone resorption could not be attributed to effects on the function of mature cells, since M-CSF inhibits resorption by such cells only by 50%, and GM-CSF has no effect. GM-CSF inhibited the development of mature function (bone resorption) to a greater extent than it inhibited CT-receptor-positive cell formation. Since CT-receptor expression antedated resorptive function, this suggests that GM-CSF resulted in the formation of reduced numbers of relatively immature osteoclasts. This suggests that it may exert a restraining effect on the maturation of cells undergoing osteoclastic differentiation in response to 1,25(OH)2D3. Conversely, IL3, which also has no effect on mature osteoclasts, by itself induced CT-receptor expression but not bone resorption; in combination with 1,25(OH)2D3 it induced a threefold increase in bone resorption and CT-receptor-positive cells compared with cultures incubated with 1,25(OH)2D3 alone. IL3 did not induce CT-receptors in peritoneal macrophages, blood monocytes, or J 774 cells. The results suggest that IL3 induces only partial maturation of osteoclasts, which is augmented or completed by additional factors such as 1,25(OH)2D3.

Abstract
Osteoblasts play a central role in the regulation of bone remodeling. Not only are they responsible for the formation of new bone, but they also regulate bone resorption. These cells also exert regulatory influences outside the bone in that they are able to regulate hematopoiesis. However, obtaining pure populations of osteoblasts devoid of contaminating cell types remains problematic. One approach to this problem is the use of cloned osteoblastic cell lines. To this end we have used MC3T3-E1, a cloned murine osteoblast cell line of C57BL/6 origin. We report that MC3T3-E1 cells respond to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and, to a lesser extent, parathyroid hormone (PTH) by the secretion of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). However, 1,25-(OH)2D3, a potent activator of osteoblasts, fails to induce these cells to secrete GM-CSF. These results suggest that MC3T3-E1 cells respond to osteotropic agents in a hierarchical fashion. Secretion of GM-CSF is not constitutive but rather requires active induction of the cells. MC3T3 cells fail to secrete detectable levels of interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-3, or IL-4, regardless of whether or not the cells are activated. The data indicate that MC3T3-E1 cells secrete cytokines in response to osteotropic agents in a way similar to that of normal primary osteoblasts. Therefore, MC3T3-E1 cells may serve as a good in vitro model for primary osteoblasts.

Abstract
The development of multinucleated cells with tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity was studied in coverslip cultures of murine blood leukocytes and in cocultures of blood leukocytes with murine fetal bone rudiments. Cells with TRAP activity were not present among the leukocytes before culture and were absent in the bone rudiments at the time of explanation. After 14 days, macrophages with only tartrate-sensitive acid phosphatase activity developed in cultures of leukocytes without long bones. Multinucleated cells were not seen. In cocultures of leukocytes with bone rudiments, however, multinucleated cells with a strong TRAP activity had formed after 10-14 days of coculture. These TRAP-positive cells had invaded the bones and resorbed part of the calcified matrix. Electron microscopy revealed ruffled borders on the resorbing cells. In cocultures, TRAP-positive cells also formed from leukocyte fractions depleted of strongly adherent cells. Also on the cellophane supports of the cocultures, mononuclear cells with a stellate appearance and a strong TRAP activity were seen. We suggest that, in the cocultures, osteoclasts developed from a TRAP-negative, circulating progenitor cell. The presence of osteoclast progenitor cells in the circulation is discussed in light of the descent of osteoclasts from hematopoietic stem cells. That appearance of TRAP activity was always seen in resorbing cells and was not acquired in monocytes present in the leukocyte fraction by mere culture means that in the mouse TRAP is a useful marker for osteoclasts.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates inhibit bone resorption in vivo and in vitro by unknown mechanisms. The effect of bisphosphonates on the formation of osteoclasts from their mononuclear hematopoietic precursors was investigated using human long-term marrow cultures in which multinucleated cells form that express most of the known features of the osteoclast phenotype (e.g., bone resorption, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, calcitonin responsiveness, and reactivity with specific MAbs). The five bisphosphonates that were tested strongly inhibited 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-stimulated formation of these cells with the same relative potencies as they inhibit bone resorption in vivo. Two representative compounds (3-amino-1-hydroxypropylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate and dichloromethylene bisphosphonate) failed to inhibit the proliferation of precursors of the osteoclast-like cells. However, these compounds decreased the proportion of mononuclear and multinucleated cells expressing an osteoclast antigen, thus suggesting a degree of specificity for cells of the osteoclast lineage. We conclude that bisphosphonates are potent inhibitors of osteoclast-like cell formation in long-term human marrow cultures, and that this may be related to their ability to inhibit bone resorption in vivo.

Abstract
It has been observed that bone resorption in response to interleukin 1 (IL 1) or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is accompanied by an increase in osteoclast number. Because the osteoclast is of hemopoietic lineage, recruitment could be regulated by colony-stimulating factors, one of which may be macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). In this study, we show that the constitutive release of M-CSF activity by the osteoblastic cell MC3T3-E1 is enhanced by the presence of recombinant IL 1 alpha, recombinant TNF alpha, or by the concurrent presence of purified transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) and epidermal growth factor (EGF). Increased release of CSF by the osteoblast in response to these agents may provide a signal for the growth and maturation of osteoclast precursors leading to subsequent bone resorption.

Abstract
The activity of human osteoblast-like cells cultured in vitro is regulated by a number of factors, which include systemic hormones as well as agents that can be produced locally within bone. Several cytokines and growth factors have been demonstrated to be produced by osteoblasts themselves, and this includes granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). In this report we show that recombinant human GM-CSF (rhGM-CSF) modulates the activities of osteoblast-like cells derived from human trabecular bone in vitro. rhGM-CSF stimulated the proliferation of the cultured human osteoblast-like cells, but antagonised the induction by 1,25(OH)2D3 of osteocalcin synthesis and alkaline phosphatase activity, two characteristic products of osteoblasts. rhGM-CSF however, had no appreciable effect on the production of prostaglandin E2, or on the plasminogen activator activity associated with human osteoblast-like cells. These results are the first report of which we are aware of an apparently direct action of GM-CSF on cells of the osteoblast phenotype. These studies indicate that GM-CSF represents another haematological factor that can potentially exert regulatory actions on human osteoblast-like cells. GM-CSF may therefore be a potential paracrine/autocrine regulator of osteoblast activity.

Abstract
Medium conditioned by incubation with embryonic chick calvarial bones, which contain osteoblasts but not osteoclasts, stimulated new osteoclast formation in foetal long bone cultures and in adult bone marrow cultures formation of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) positive cells was greatly stimulated. We have termed the factor responsible for this activity osteoclast growth/inducing factor (OGF). OGF was soluble, heat-stable and of size greater than 10kda. OGF activity was present also in mouse bone conditioned medium and in extracts of demineralized cortical diaphyseal bone of five-week-old chickens. OGF appeared to differ from the osteoblast-derived bone-resorbing factors previously observed as well as from macrophage colony stimulating factor (CSF-1). It is therefore probable that different locally secreted factors independently regulate the formation of osteoclasts and their activity.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) alpha and beta and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha and beta are potent stimulators of bone resorption in vitro and in vivo. However, the mechanisms underlying this increased bone resorption have not been clearly defined. Increased bone resorption can result from increased activity of individual osteoclasts, increased numbers of osteoclasts, or both. Therefore, we have used a long-term human marrow culture system that forms multinucleated cells (MNC) with the characteristics of osteoclasts to examine the effects of IL-1 and TNF on osteoclast formation. Human recombinant IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta, and human recombinant TNF-alpha and TNF-beta stimulated MNC formation from 4- to 60-fold. IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, and TNF-beta significantly increased MNC formation at very low concentrations: 2.5 x 10(-13) M for IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta, 10(-11) M for TNF-alpha, and 10(-10) M for TNF-beta In addition, these cytokines enhanced MNC formation in the presence of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3], a potent osteotropic factor that stimulates MNC formation by stimulating fusion of mononuclear precursor cells. Simultaneous addition of IL-1 and TNF to the cultures resulted in a synergistic stimulation of MNC formation. These results suggest that: (1) IL-1 and TNF stimulate bone resorption in part by increasing osteoclast formation and (2) an extremely low concentration of these factors can synergistically increase osteoclast formation in the absence of other factors, such as 1,25-(OH)2D3. These data suggest that synergistic interactions among cytokines play an important role in maintaining bone cell activity in normal and pathologic states.

Abstract
Osteoblasts are the cells responsible for the secretion of collagen and ultimately the formation of new bone. These cells have also been shown to regulate osteoclast activity by the secretion of cytokines, which remain to be defined. In an attempt to identify these unknown cytokines, we have induced primary murine osteoblasts with two bone active agents, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and analyzed the conditioned media (CM) for the presence of specific cytokines. Analysis of the CM was accomplished by functional, biochemical, and serological techniques. The data indicate that both PTH and LPS are capable of inducing the osteoblasts to secrete a cytokine, which by all of the techniques used, is indistinguishable from granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Secretion of GM-CSF is not constitutive and requires active induction. Production of the cytokine is dependent on the dose of PTH or LPS added. It has been demonstrated that the addition of GM-CSF to bone marrow cultures results in the formation of increased numbers of osteoclasts. Therefore, these data suggest that osteoblasts not only participate in bone remodeling by formation of new matrix but may regulate osteoclast activity indirectly by their ability to regulate hematopoiesis.

Abstract
Studies involving bone marrow transplantation of osteopetrotic rodents have provided evidence for the lineage of the osteoclast. 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.

Abstract
Colony stimulating factors (CSFs) regulate the survival, proliferation and differentiation of haemopoietic progenitor cells, as well as the functional activity of mature cells. Because the osteoclast is derived from haemopoietic tissue, and because osteoblastic cells produce CSFs, we tested the effects of several CSFs on bone resorption by osteoclasts disaggregated from neonatal rat long bone. We found that recombinant macrophage (M)-CSF was a potent inhibitor of bone resorption, causing significant inhibition at concentrations similar to those required to support the growth of macrophage colonies in agar. Unlike other inhibitors of osteoclastic resorption, M-CSF did not alter cytoplasmic motility in time-lapse recordings, suggesting that M-CSF may inhibit osteoclasts through a different transduction mechanism. None of the remaining cytokines tested (granulocyte-macrophage CSF, interleukin 3, interleukin 6, or interferon gamma) influenced bone resorption. M-CSF production may be a mechanism by which osteoblastic cells, which produce M-CSF, may regulate osteoclastic function. Alternatively, inhibition of osteoclastic resorption by a CSF that is responsible for amplification of the macrophage compartment may reflect a close lineage relationship between mononuclear phagocytes, in which M-CSF induces a diversion of lineage resources away from osteoclastic function.

Abstract
Bone cells compose a population of cells of heterogeneous origin but restricted function with respect to matrix formation, mineralization, and resorption. The local, mesenchymal origin of the cells which form the skeleton contrasts with their extraskeletal, hemopoietic relatives under which bone resorption takes place. However, the functions of these two diverse populations are remarkably related and interdependent. Bone cell regulation, presently in its infancy, is a complicated cascade involving a plethora of local and systemic factors, including some components of the skeletal matrices and other organ systems. Thus, any understanding of bone cell regulation is a key ingredient in understanding not only the development, maintenance, and repair of the skeleton but also the prevention and treatment of skeletal disorders.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), a polypeptide present in abundant amounts in bone matrix, was examined for its effects on osteoclast formation by using a human bone marrow culture system in which multinucleated cells (MNCs) with osteoclast characteristics form. TGF-beta strongly inhibited MNC formation at concentrations as low as 1 ng/ml. TGF-beta also completely suppressed the effects of osteotropic factors known to stimulate MNC formation. The inhibitory effect of TGF-beta on osteoclast-like cell formation was more pronounced during the first week of culture, which corresponds to the period of proliferation of mononuclear osteoclast precursors. To examine whether the inhibitory effects of TGF-beta on MNC formation could be due to inhibition of the granulocyte/macrophage progenitor cell [colony-forming unit granulocyte/macrophage (CFU-GM)], the probable precursor for MNC, we tested the effects of TGF-beta on CFU-GM formation in presence of a source of colony-stimulating factor. Unexpectedly, TGF-beta at concentrations (0.1-1 ng/ml) that were inhibitory for MNC formation enhanced day 7 CFU-GM colony formation. This increase in CFU-GM colony formation seen in cultures containing TGF-beta resulted from significantly more granulocytic colonies being formed in the cultures, suggesting that TGF-beta may induce CFU-GM to differentiate preferentially to cells of the granulocytic lineage. Differentiation of CFU-GM to granulocytes rather than osteoclast precursors in response to TGF-beta would result in inhibition of MNC formation by depleting the precursor pool for MNC. These data suggest that inhibition of osteoclast-like cell formation by TGF-beta may be an important mechanism of control of local bone resorption.

Abstract
Osteopetrosis in the ia (incisors absent) rat is the result of reduced bone resorption due to abnormal osteoclasts. This mutant and others have been used to determine the precursor(s) to osteoclasts. Hemopoietic stem cells, isolated from bone marrow of normal littermates, cure the skeletal sclerosis and result in the formation of normal osteoclasts when transplanted into ia rats. These studies were conducted to define further the precursor to the osteoclast by evaluating the effects of the transplantation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors on bone resorption in the ia rat. Granulocyte-colony forming cells (G-CFC), granulocyte-macrophage-colony forming cells (GM-CFC), and macrophage-colony forming cells (M-CFC) were isolated from normal bone marrow using an FITC-labeled monoclonal antibody directed against rat Thy-1.1 and fluorescence-activated cell sorting. The isolates were evaluated in soft agar culture; granulocyte isolates generated 71% G-CFC of all colonies formed and were enhanced 27 times over unfractionated cells. Mixed isolates generated 57% GM-CFC of all colonies formed and were 15 times enhanced, while macrophage isolates were 75% M-CFC with an enhancement factor of 18. The isolated populations were injected into 3-week-old ia recipients and evaluated for the ability of these cellular isolates to correct the bone resorption defect by measuring the size of the tibial marrow cavity and by identifying morphologically normal osteoclasts. In addition, isolated populations of cells were labeled with FITC and injected into ia donors to determine if labeled osteoclasts developed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
This study was carried out to determine whether bone might be a source of hemopoietic growth factors. Both neonatal murine calvaria and primary cultures of cells isolated from calvaria released, upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharide, an activity that stimulated the growth of the interleukin (IL) 3-dependent cell lines, 32D cl, 123, and NSF 60. Upon gel filtration, this activity eluted with a molecular weight of 30,000 kDa. Further characterization, however, revealed that the major activity in conditioned medium was not IL 3. Activity was absorbed by DEAE-Sephacel at low salt concentration, whereas IL 3 does not adhere. Furthermore, an IL 3-specific antiserum did not neutralize the activity from cells and only partly neutralized the activity generated by whole calvaria. After gel filtration, the 30-kDa activity stimulated the growth of very large colonies in semisolid medium consisting mainly of granulocytes with the remainder being macrophages. No colony types belonging to other hemopoietic lineages were found, indicating, again, that the activity was not identical to IL 3. Subsequently, conditioned medium was fractionated by hydrophobic chromatography on Phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B, yielding two peaks of activity. Neutralization of activity with antisera to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL 3 and use of colony assays showed that medium conditioned by whole calvaria contained GM-CSF and granulocyte CSF (G-CSF) in similar amounts together with a little IL 3, and medium conditioned with calvaria cells contained GM-CSF and little G-CSF. We conclude that bone releases hemopoietic growth factors that could contribute both to hemopoiesis and to the recruitment of osteoclasts from progenitors resident in the adjacent marrow.

Abstract
The osteoclast may be of hematopoietic lineage and as such its development could be regulated by colony-stimulating factors. Since there is much interest as to whether osteoblasts influence bone resorption, we examined whether bone cells produce colony-stimulating activity. Both cells isolated from neonatal calvaria and the osteogenic cell MC3T3-E1 were found to constitutively release a colony-stimulating activity possessing characteristics of a macrophage colony-stimulating factor, as determined by basic biochemical purification and by identity of colonies induced in cultures of bone marrow cells. Release could be increased by the presence of the bone-resorbing agents lipopolysaccharide and 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3. We conclude that the osteoblast may contribute to both the processes of osteoclast formation and of hematopoiesis through the secretion of colony-stimulating activity into the adjacent bone marrow.

Abstract
It is unknown if osteoclasts derived from animals at different developmental stages differ. To study this question, we used a long-term baboon marrow culture system in which osteoclast-like multinucleated cells (MNC) are formed. Fetal, newborn, or adult baboon marrow cultures were tested to determine if they differ in their responsiveness to osteotropic hormones. In fetal and newborn marrow cultures 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3) at 10(-10) M significantly increased MNC formation with a maximal effect seen at 10(-9) M. Higher concentrations of 1,25D3 progressively decreased MNC formation. In contrast, in adult baboon marrow cultures, 10(-9) M 1,25D3 was required to significantly increase MNC formation, with a maximal affect at 10(-8) M 1,25D3. Calcitonin (25-200 ng/ml) inhibited MNC formation in fetal, newborn, or adult baboon marrow cultures treated with 1,25D3 in an identical manner. The effects of 1,25D3 on granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells (CFU-GM), the probable precursors of MNC, were identical in fetal and adult baboon marrow cultures, with a significant inhibition of CFU-GM colony formation at 10(-8) M 1,25D3. These results suggest that 1) osteoclast precursors are more sensitive to some osteotropic hormones during the fetal and newborn periods, and 2) differences in the 1,25D3 sensitivity of osteoclast-like MNC formation in fetal, newborn, and adult baboon marrow cultures are not due to effects on early proliferating precursors but may result from effects of 1,25D3 on fusion of later precursors for MNC.

Abstract
Osteoclasts mediate the process of bone resorption. However, little is known about the mechanisms that regulate the formation of either osteoclasts or osteoclast precursors. In contrast, colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) are well-known to regulate the formation of myeloid cells and their precursors. Because osteoclasts and myeloid cells may originate from a common stem cell, we examined the effects of two CSFs, granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF) and interleukin 3 (IL-3), on bone resorption, osteoclast formation, and the incorporation of recently replicated nuclei into the osteoclasts of mouse bone cultures. CSFs had little effect on the formation rate of osteoclasts or their resorptive activity but significantly decreased the percentage of recently replicated osteoclast progenitor cell nuclei present in the osteoclasts of bones treated with parathyroid hormone. GM-CSF also increased the number of myeloid cells in the marrow space of the cultures and the percentage of these cells derived from recently replicated progenitors. These results demonstrate that GM-CSF and IL-3 can regulate the development of osteoclasts from recently replicated precursor cells in cultured fetal mouse long bones. However, the mechanisms by which CSFs influence osteoclast formation are difficult to determine from these studies because markers for the osteoclast progenitor and precursor do not exist. These data also provide evidence that the differentiation of osteoclast progenitors is regulated by different factors at different points in their ontogeny.

Abstract
We compared three antirheumatic agents: auranofin (Aur), gold sodium thiomalate (GST), and penicillamine (Pen) for their effect on resorption in control unstimulated cultures of fetal rat long bones and in cultures stimulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and murine interleukin-1 (mIL-1). Aur (3 X 10(-6) M) and GST (10(-4) M) inhibited PTH-stimulated bone resorption by 39 and 42%, respectively. The same concentrations of Aur and GST inhibited PGE2-stimulated bones by 72 and 44, respectively, and mIL-1-stimulated bones by 74 and 50%, respectively. Pen (10(-4) M) was not effective against any of the stimulators. Dose-response curves showed that Aur was at least 10 times more potent than GST. Inhibition by Aur was sustained after removal of the drug, while there was full recovery from GST. Aur inhibited 3H-thymidine and 3H-proline incorporation into bones, while GST had no effect. Aur and GST decreased beta-glucuronidase activity to undetectable levels at five days of culture. Part of the therapeutic effectiveness of Aur and GST may reside in their ability to inhibit periarticular destruction by inhibiting PGE2- and IL-1-mediated osteoclastic bone resorption.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BP) are powerful inhibitors of bone resorption. Their mechanism of action, although still unclear, is now believed to be at the cellular level. In this study we investigated the effects of these compounds on proliferation, induced either by L-cell conditioned medium (CSF-1) or 4-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) of bone marrow cells (BMC) and on CSF-1-induced proliferation and viability of bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM phi). BMC proliferation, measured by [3H]-TdR incorporation or by clonal assay in soft agar, was significantly inhibited by 4-amino-1-hydroxybutylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate (AHBuBP) and 3-amino-1-hydroxypropylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate (AHPrBP) at 2.5 x 10(-7) M and by dichloromethylenebisphosphonate (Cl2MBP) at 2.5 x 10(-6) M. This inhibitory effect was also confirmed on the proliferation, measured by [3H]-TdR incorporation, of BMDM phi. In the absence of CSF-1, the viability of this latter cell population, estimated by DNA content per well and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) released into the medium, was affected in the following order of concentrations: Cl2MBP, 1.0 x 10(-4) M; AHBuBP, 5.0 x 10(-5) M; and AHPrBP, 2.5 x 10(-5) M. Since osteoclasts and macrophages might share a common early progenitor cell, probably under the control of CSF-1, the effect exerted by BP on the proliferation of the macrophage precursors may also be extended to the osteoclast precursors.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) is synthesized by a variety of tumor cell lines and stimulates osteoclastic bone resorption in vitro. The mechanism by which TGF-alpha increases osteoclast activity is unknown. We used a human marrow culture system that forms osteoclast-like multinucleated cells (MNCs) to determine the effects of recombinant human TGF-alpha on MNC formation. Addition of 0.01 ng/ml TGF-alpha for the 1st week followed by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] for the subsequent 2 wk significantly increased MNCs. Treatment of these cultures with TGF-alpha without later addition of 1,25(OH)2D3 did not increase MNC formation. Autoradiographic studies revealed that TGF-alpha stimulated proliferation of precursors for MNCs, and 1,25(OH)2D3 increased their rate of fusion into MNCs. Addition of murine epidermal growth factor (EGF) (0.1 ng/ml) followed by 1,25(OH)2D3 also significantly stimulated MNC formation. These data suggest that TGF-alpha and EGF may stimulate bone resorption by increasing the proliferation of osteoclast precursors, which leads to increased numbers of osteoclasts.
