Abstract
Cytokines and hematopoietic growth factors have traditionally been thought of as regulators of the development and function of immune and blood cells. However, an ever-expanding number of these factors have been discovered to have major effects on bone cells and the development of the skeleton in health and disease (Table 1). In addition, several cytokines have been directly linked to the development of osteoporosis in both animal models and in patients. In order to understand the mechanisms regulating bone cells and how this may be dysregulated in disease states, it is necessary to appreciate the diverse effects that cytokines and inflammation have on osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and bone mass. This chapter provides a broad overview of this topic with extensive references so that, if desired, readers can access specific references to delve into individual topics in greater detail.

Abstract
Bone and the immune system are both complex tissues that respectively regulate the skeleton and the body's response to invading pathogens. It has now become clear that these organ systems often interact in their function. This is particularly true for the development of immune cells in the bone marrow and for the function of bone cells in health and disease. Because these two disciplines developed independently, investigators in each don't always fully appreciate the significance that the other system has on the function of the tissue they are studying. This review is meant to provide a broad overview of the many ways that bone and immune cells interact so that a better understanding of the role that each plays in the development and function of the other can develop. It is hoped that an appreciation of the interactions of these two organ systems will lead to better therapeutics for diseases that affect either or both.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective: To determine the effects of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) on bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement.
Materials and Methods: Thirty adult male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly categorized into five groups. IFN-γ was administered in three different doses (0.01, 0.02, and 0.05 μg/20 μL) and the remaining two groups served as control. Mandibular first molars were moved mesially by means of Ni-Ti closed coil springs in all groups. The results were evaluated histomorphometrically, and parameters of trabecular bone volume (BV/TV), trabecular bone number (Tr.N), and trabecular separation (Tr.Sep) were observed at the interradicular bone area of the mandibular first molars.
Results: Increases in BV/TV and Tr.N and decreases in Tr.Sep revealed the antiosteoclastic activity of IFN-γ.
Conclusion: IFN-γ administration may be useful clinically for anchorage control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that circulating activated T cells may release cytokines that decrease bone turnover in children with Crohn disease. STUDY DESIGN Newly diagnosed Crohn disease and healthy controls of similar age were compared for bone age, bone mineral content and density, markers of bone remodeling, and serum concentration and in vitro T-cell production of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL), interferon (INF)-gamma, and osteoprotegerin (OPG). RESULTS Newly diagnosed children with Crohn disease (n=23) had similar bone mineral density (BMD) z-scores and body mass index as the controls (n=40). Biochemical markers of bone remodeling indicated a state of low bone turnover in the Crohn disease patients compared with controls. Serum OPG (pmol/L; mean+/-SD, median) was higher (4.24+/-1.74, 3.98 vs 3.38+/-0.83, 3.41; P<.05), and serum RANKL (pmol/L) was lower in the Crohn disease patients (0.50+/-0.86, 0.28 vs 1.02+/-1.63, 0.49; P<.01), consistent with decreased bone resorption. Activated T cells from Crohn disease patients produced a higher concentration of INF-gamma (ng/microg protein) than those from controls (20.03+/-26.39, 8.70 vs 9.76+/-14.10, 6.17; P<.05). CONCLUSIONS The newly diagnosed children with Crohn disease exhibited reduced bone remodeling, possibly due to T-cell INF-gamma and OPG.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) is one member of a large family of inflammatory cytokines that share common signal pathways, including activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (Nf-kappa B) and stimulation of the apoptotic pathway. Data derived from early work supported a role for TNF as a skeletal catabolic agent that stimulates osteoclastogenesis while simultaneously inhibiting osteoblast function. The finding that estrogen deficiency was associated with increased production of cytokines led to a barrage of studies and lively debate on the relative contributions of TNF and other cytokines on bone loss, on the potential cell sources of TNF in the bone microenvironment, and on the mechanism of TNF action. TNF has a central role in bone pathophysiology. TNF is necessary for stimulation of osteoclastogenesis along with the receptor activator of Nf-kappa B ligand (RANKL). TNF also stimulates osteoblasts in a manner that hinders their bone-formative action. TNF suppresses recruitment of osteoblasts from progenitor cells, inhibits the expression of matrix protein genes, and stimulates expression of genes that amplify osteoclastogenesis. TNF may also affect skeletal metabolism by inducing resistance to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)) by a mechanism that extends to other members of the steroid hormone nuclear receptor family. Thus, TNF assails bone at many levels. This review will focus on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of TNF action in the skeleton that result in increased bone resorption and impaired formation. TNF and its signal pathway remains an important target for the development of new therapies for bone loss from osteoporosis and inflammatory arthritis.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1)alpha is an autocrine/paracrine agent of the skeletal tissue and it regulates bone remodeling. Collagenase-3 or matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 is expressed in osteoblasts and its expression is modulated by several cytokines including IL-1alpha. Because the molecular mechanism of increased synthesis of collagenase-3 in bone cells by IL-1alpha is not known, we investigated if collagenase-3 expression by IL-1alpha in osteoblasts is mediated by transcriptional or post-transcriptional mechanisms. Exposure of rat osteoblastic cultures (Ob cells) to IL-1alpha at concentrations higher than 0.5 nM increased the synthesis of collagenase-3 mRNA up to eightfold and the secretion of immunoreactive protein up to 21-fold. The effects of IL-1alpha on collagenase-3 were time- and dose-dependent. Although prostaglandins stimulate collagenase-3 expression, stimulation of collagenase-3 in Ob cells by IL-1alpha was not mediated through increased biosynthesis of prostaglandins. The half-life of collagenase-3 mRNA from control and IL-1alpha-treated Ob cells was similar suggesting that the stabilization of collagenase-3 mRNA did not contribute to the increase in collagenase-3. However, IL-1alpha stimulated the rate of transcription of the collagenase-3 gene by twofold to fourfold indicating regulation of collagenase-3 expression in Ob cells at the transcriptional level. Stimulation of collagenase-3 by IL-1alpha in osteoblasts may in part mediate the effects of IL-1alpha in bone metabolism.

Abstract
Many important diseases in otolaryngology manifest through abnormal bone remodeling or destruction. The mechanisms for such pathological remodeling remain poorly understood. Bone is known to be innervated by norepinephrine-containing sympathetic nerves, and sympathectomy is known to induce bone resorption. The role, however, of norepinephrine as a potential bone-modulatory substance is unknown. Using the calvarial calcium release assay, we conducted the following experiment to evaluate the bone-modulatory activity of norepinephrine, the alpha-agonist octopamine, and the beta-agonist isoproterenol. Each agent was tested at 2 concentrations with and without parathyroid hormone. Norepinephrine was found to have no effect on calcium release. In contrast, octopamine at 10(-8) mol/L exerted a significant stimulatory effect on calcium release, and isoproterenol at 10(-6) mol/L exerted a significant inhibitory effect on parathyroid hormone-induced calcium release. The investigation suggests that a bimodal, concentration-dependent, receptor-specific model for catecholamine-mediated modulation of bone resorption may operate in calvarial bone.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Chemical sympathectomy with 6-hydroxydopamine (HDA) increases middle ear bulla bone resorption in the Mongolian gerbil. BACKGROUND Many diseases of the middle ear have pathologic processes linked to abnormal bone remodeling. Numerous factors controlling bone remodeling have been identified. An understanding of these factors and their role in pathologic remodeling is therefore essential. Sympathectomy, induced both surgically and pharmaceutically, is known to increase middle ear bone resorption, suggesting a role for the central nervous system in bone metabolism. This effect, however, may be confounded by hemodynamic changes induced by hemicranial surgical sympathectomy or by uncertainty in the action of pharmaceutical agents on the sympathetic nervous system. In this experiment, a third modality with unique properties, chemical sympathectomy with HDA, was used to quantify further the effect of sympathectomy on middle ear bone remodeling. METHODS Eight gerbils designated experimental received intraperitoneal injections of HDA (75 mg/kg) for 1 week, whereas eight animals designated control received similar injections of saline. One week after injections, the animals were euthanized and bulla bone samples were analyzed histomorphometrically to determine osteoclastic activity. In addition, to assess for any direct effects on bone metabolism, the activity of HDA was determined in vitro using the calvarial calcium release assay. RESULTS The in vitro study found HDA to have no direct stimulatory activity on calcium release. The in vivo study showed HDA to increase osteoclastic activity significantly in middle ear bone. CONCLUSION HDA-induced sympathectomy increases bone resorption in gerbilline middle ear bone.

Abstract
The removal of unmineralized matrix from the bone surface is essential for the initiation of osteoclastic bone resorption because osteoclasts cannot attach to the unmineralized osteoid. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known to digest bone matrix. We recently reported that among the MMPs expressed in mouse osteoblastic cells, MMP-13 (collagenase-3) was the one most predominantly up-regulated by bone resorbing factors including 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1alpha,25(OH)2D3]. In this study, we examined the mechanism of regulation of MMP-13 expression by 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 in mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. 1Alpha,25(OH)2D3 increased steady-state messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels of MMP-13. De novo protein synthesis was essential for the induction because cycloheximide (CHX) decreased the effect of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 on the MMP-13 mRNA level. 1Alpha,25(OH)2D3 did not alter the decay of MMP-13 mRNA in transcriptionally arrested MC3T3-E1 cells; however, it increased the MMP-13 heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA) level and MMP-13 transcriptional rate. The binding activity of nuclear extracts to the AP-1 binding site, but not to the Cbfa1 binding site, in the MMP-13 promoter region was up-regulated by 1alpha,25(OH)2D3, suggesting the mediation of AP-1 in this transcriptional induction. To determine the contribution of MMPs to bone resorption by 1alpha,25(OH)2D3, the inhibitory effect of BB94, an MMP inhibitor, on resorbed pit formation by mouse crude osteoclastic cells was examined on either an uncoated or collagen-coated dentine slice. BB94 did not prevent resorbed pit formation on uncoated dentine whereas it did on collagen-coated dentine. We therefore propose that the transcriptional induction of MMP-13 in osteoblastic cells may contribute to the degradation of unmineralized matrix on the bone surface as an early step of bone resorption by 1alpha,25(OH)2D3.

Abstract
In addition to their stimulating function on osteoclastic bone resorption, bone resorptive factors may regulate proteinases and related factors in osteoblastic cells to degrade bone matrix proteins. This study investigated the regulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) by bone resorptive factors in the cultures of mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, mouse primary osteoblastic (POB) cells, and neonatal mouse calvariae. Expression of either MMP-2, -3, -9, -11, -13, and -14 or TIMP-1, -2, and -3 was detected in MC3T3-E1 cells and POB cells. When the bone resorptive factors parathyroid hormone, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3), prostaglandin E(2), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) were added to the cell cultures, MMP-13 mRNA levels were found predominantly to increase by all resorptive factors in the three cultures. mRNA levels of either MMP-3 and -9 or TIMP-1 and -3 were found to increase mainly by the cytokines IL-1beta and TNF-alpha. BB94, a nonselective MMP inhibitor, neutralized the (45)Ca release stimulated by these resorptive factors to an extent similar to that of calcitonin, strongly suggesting that bone resorptive factors function at least partly through MMP formation. We propose that MMP-13 mRNA expression in osteoblastic cells may play an important role in stimulating matrix degradation by both systemic and local resorptive factors, whereas either MMP-3 and -9 or TIMP-1 and -3 might modulate matrix degradation by local cytokines only.

Abstract
Bone destruction causes hearing loss in various middle ear disorders. The mechanisms of such pathological remodeling are unknown. Unilateral surgical sympathectomy is known to induce resorption within mandibular and auditory bulla bone. Explanation of the cause of this effect, however, may be confounded by hemodynamic changes induced by hemicranial sympathectomy and by uncertainty as to the neuroanatomical origins of sympathetic fibers. In this study, gerbils were infused with guanethidine sulfate (GS) to evaluate the in vivo effects of systemic sympatholysis on auditory bone remodeling. In addition, to discount any direct osteolytic effect, GS was assessed of its bone resorbing activity in vitro by means of the calvarial calcium release assay. The in vitro study revealed GS to have no effect on calcium release. The in vivo study revealed GS to increase both the osteoclast surface and number. Guanethidine-induced sympathectomy has thus been shown to increase remodeling in gerbilline auditory bone, while no direct osteolytic effect could be measured in vitro.

Abstract
Development of new methods for accelerating orthodontic tooth movement has been strongly desired for shortening of the treatment period. The rate of orthodontic tooth movement is dependent on the rate of bone resorption occurring in the compressed periodontium in the direction of orthodontic force applied to the tooth. In the present study, we examined the effects of continuous infusion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on tooth movement. Male rats weighing 350-400 g were treated with subcutaneous of vehicle or hPTH(1-84) at 1-10 micrograms/100 g of body weight/day. When the upper right first molar (M1) was moved mesially for 72 h by the insertion of an elastic band between the first and second molars, M1 movement was accelerated by PTH infusion at 10 micrograms. PTH infusion caused a 2- to 3-fold increase in the number of osteoclasts in the compressed periodontium of M1, indicating that such treatment accelerated tooth movement by enhancing bone resorptive activity induced in the compressed periodontium. When M1 was moved mesially by an orthodontic coil spring ligated between upper incisors and M1 for 12 days, PTH(1-84) infusion at 10 micrograms caused a 2-fold increase in the rate of M1 movement. PTH(1-34) infusion at 4 micrograms had an effect comparable to that of PTH(1-84). However, intermittent injection of PTH(1-34) did not accelerate M1 movement. PTH infusion for 13 days did not affect either bone mineral measurements or the serum calcium level. These findings suggest that continuous administration of PTH is applicable to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha are inflammatory cytokines that are known to be potent stimulators of mineralized tissue resorption. One of the mechanisms by which these cytokines induce this loss is through the stimulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) production and secretion by the host cells present at the inflammatory site. We have previously shown that these cytokines have little effect on MMP production by human pulp cells in short-term culture (24 to 48 h). In this study, we examined the production of MMPs by human pulp cells in the presence and absence of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in long-term cultures (2 to 16 days) using substrate gel zymography. The major band present in all samples examined migrated at 68 kDa, corresponding to the migration pattern of MMP-2, whereas a minor band migrated at 90 kDa, corresponding to the migration pattern of MMP-9. In the presence of cytokines, elevated levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were apparent at days 9 through 16. In addition, a band migrating at 110 kDa was present. This study demonstrates that cytokines stimulate the production of elevated levels of MMPs by human pulp cells in long-term cultures and that these MMPs may play a role in pulpal inflammation.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), a member of the transforming growth factor superfamily of peptides, induces ectopic bone formation in vivo. The actions of BMP-2 on osteoblastic cells include stimulation of collagen synthesis, but the role of BMP-2 on collagen degradation is not known. We examined whether BMP-2 affects the expression of collagenase-3, an enzyme that degrades type I collagen at neutral pH, and that of tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in primary osteoblast-enriched cells from 22-day-old fetal rat calvariae. BMP-2 suppressed collagenase messenger RNA (mRNA) and immunoreactive protein levels. BMP-2 did not affect collagenase mRNA stability, but it reduced collagenase heterogeneous nuclear RNA levels and decreased the rate of transcription of the collagenase gene. BMP-2 also stimulated TIMP 1 and TIMP 3 mRNA levels, but failed to alter TIMP 2 expression. In conclusion, our studies indicate that BMP-2 suppresses collagenase-3 gene transcription and stimulates TIMP 1 and TIMP 3 expression in osteoblasts. The regulation of collagenase and TIMPs by BMP-2 in osteoblasts may play a role in osteoinduction.

Abstract
Three distinct osteoblastic cell lines (KS418, KS460, and KS483) were subcloned from the mouse osteoblastic KS-4 cells, which possessed the abilities not only to differentiate into mature osteoblasts, but also to support osteoclast differentiation in coculture with spleen cells. The order of the magnitude of the basal alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was KS483 > KS418 > KS460. KS483 cells were also more differentiated than KS418 and KS460 in terms of ALP activity and osteocalcin production, when cultured in growth medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. In long-term culture, KS418 and KS483 apparently differentiated into mature osteoblasts and formed calcified nodules without addition of beta-glycerophosphate. Electron microscopic analysis demonstrated that calcification occurring in the nodules was initiated in the matrix vesicles as observed in bone formation in vivo. Nodule formation and mineral deposition occurred simultaneously in the presence of beta-glycerophosphate, but the former always preceded the latter without addition of beta-glycerophosphate. In contrast, KS460 cells did not show time-dependent increases of ALP activity, type I collagen expression and osteocalcin production, which were induced by treatment with recombinant osteogenic protein-1 (OP-1). The three cell lines similarly supported osteoclast differentiation in coculture with spleen cells in response to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. These results indicate that the three cell lines subcloned from the original KS-4 cells represent phenotypically distinct osteoblasts during osteoblast differentiation, but are equipped similarly with the capacity to support osteoclast differentiation. The subcloned cells of the KS-4 series may provide useful systems in which to study osteoblast differentiation and function.

Abstract
The role of matrix metalloproteinases in parathyroid hormone (PTH)-induced bone resorption was assayed using a fetal rat limb bone culture system. Cotreatment of bones with PTH and recombinant inhibitor of metalloproteinases, TIMP-1, in vitro, inhibited the PTH-stimulated 45Ca release from the limb bones without affecting beta-glucuronidase release. TIMP-1 was fully effective when added during only the final 24 h of a 72 h culture with PTH but was ineffective when added for only the first 24 h of the 72 h culture. In contrast, calcitonin (CT) was effective when added for either the first 24 or the final 24 h of the culture. Using in situ hybridization, the mRNA for collagenase was detected in mononuclear cells of cultured bone. Treatment of the bones with PTH resulted in an increase in the number of cells producing collagenase mRNA, some of which had osteoclastic morphology, PTH also caused a dramatic induction of the mRNA for the 92-kD gelatinase B metalloproteinase in both mononuclear and osteoclastic cells. There was no detectable mRNA for the metalloproteinases stromelysin-1, stromelysin-2, or matrilysin in PTH-treated or control cultures. These results suggest that PTH-induced bone resorption is mediated, at least in part, by the induction of collagenase and gelatinase B mRNA in bone cells.

Abstract
Osteoclasts resorb the extracellular matrix of bone by secreting protons and enzymes into a circumpherentially sealed compartment between the osteoclast and the bone surface. Although the lysosomal cysteine proteinases play a major role in matrix degradation by osteoclasts, collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase-1, EC 3.4.24.7) is also required for osteoclastic bone resorption, and may be directly involved in collagen degradation in the hemivacuole. We assessed the effects of inhibitors of cysteine proteinases and collagenase on bone resorption by osteoclasts isolated from rodent bone. We found that while inhibition of cysteine proteinases strongly suppressed osteoclastic resorption, inhibitors of collagenase were without effect on the number, size, or demineralised fringe of excavations. We could find no evidence of expression of mRNA for collagenase in rat osteoclasts by in situ hybridisation, but found that it was expressed by chondrocytes, bone surface cells and osteocytes adjacent to osteoclasts. The distribution of these cells, and the correlation between increased collagenase production and increased stimulation of osteoclastic resorption in vitro by bone cells, suggests that these cells might be involved in the regulation of bone resorption in situ, and that collagenase production might play a role in this process.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) has been implicated as a primary mediator of bone remodeling; it is a powerful activator of bone resorption both in vivo and in vitro. However, there is no direct evidence that IL-1 plays a role in physiological bone modeling or remodeling. Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) is a member of the IL-1 family, which bind to IL-1 receptors and blocks the action of IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta. We have previously shown that IL-1ra blocks IL-1-induced bone resorption in vitro. Evidence is reported here that human recombinant IL-1ra (hrIL-1ra) inhibits strain-induced modeling in the gerbil auditory bulla while having no significant effect on apposition rate. Pressurization of the auditory bulla to 10 mm Hg above atmospheric pressure increased osteoclast surface from 3.62 to 19.14%. Infusion of hrIL-1ra during pressurization resulted in significant inhibition of osteoclast surface on the pressurized side. These findings suggest that IL-1 is a physiological mediator of bone modeling and that hrIL-1ra inhibits resorption but not apposition in the auditory bulla model.

Abstract
Both interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) are powerful stimulators of bone resorption in vivo and in vitro. Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) binds to many interleukin-1 receptors. It does not activate the receptor and effectively blocks the action of IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta. In this study, human recombinant IL-1ra, at 100-fold excess, was found to block bone resorption in cultured mouse calvaria due to IL-1 beta but not IL-1 alpha. These observations may be explained by differential affinities of receptors for IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta and rhIL-1ra on target bone cells.

Abstract
Inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) are linked to abnormal cartilage and bone loss in a variety of pathological conditions. We have investigated the effect of TNF-alpha on the synthesis and/or steady-state mRNA levels of collagen, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), plasminogen activators (PAs) and their inhibitor PAI-1, and collagenases (MMPs) and their inhibitor TIMP-1 by human osteoblastic, HOS TE85, cells in monolayer cultures. HOS TE85 cells possess approximately 2000 TNF-alpha receptors per cell with a Kd value of 0.67 nM and receptor of approximately 60 kDa. TNF-alpha enhances urokinase-plasminogen activator (u-PA) activity and steady-state mRNA levels twofold without affecting tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA) or PAI-1. The increase in u-PA mRNA is due to enhanced transcription of this gene. mRNA levels or activities of collagenase 1 (MMP-1), 72- and 92-kDa gelatinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) are also nearly doubled with little change in the level of expression of TIMP-1. TNF-alpha does not significantly affect the activity or mRNA levels of ALP. TNF-alpha decreases collagen as well as general protein synthesis. However, the steady-state mRNA for the alpha 2 chain of collagen type I is increased three- to fourfold. These results show that TNF-alpha may increase pathological bone turnover by enhancing the rate of transcription of proteases capable of degrading the nonmineralized osteoid layer and decelerating the maturation of the extracellular matrix formed by osteoblasts.

Abstract
The effects of recombinant human interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) and murine epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the release of collagenase were studied in an in vitro model system using periosteal explants from rabbit calvariae. Following an incubation period of 72 h it was shown that IL-1 alpha in combination with EGF (IL-1 alpha + EGF) induced a synergistic increase in the amount of collagenase released by periosteal explants. This increase appeared to be at least 10-fold. Most of the enzyme was present in a latent form since the increase in enzyme activity was only detectable after activation by APMA and the molecular weight as determined in immunoblots corresponded to the latent form of this enzyme. Incubations carried out with IL-1 alpha alone resulted in a 2- to 4-fold increase of total enzyme activity, whereas the amount of collagenase in media of EGF-treated periosteal did not surpass control values. A neutralizing anti-IL-1 alpha antibody completely blocked the enhanced release of collagenase as induced both by IL-1 alpha and by IL-1 alpha + EGF. Indomethacin partially prevented the IL-1 alpha + EGF-induced increase in enzyme release, suggesting the involvement of prostaglandins. The amount of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) as determined by ELISA was slightly elevated in culture media obtained from all cytokine-treated explants. Comparable results were obtained by Western blot analysis as well as by a functional bioassay. It is suggested that the concomitant presence of the cytokines IL-1 alpha and EGF may play an important role in collagenase-mediated degradation of collagen.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of nine or more highly homologous Zn(++)-endopeptidases that collectively cleave most if not all of the constituents of the extracellular matrix. The present review discusses in detail the primary structures and the overlapping yet distinct substrate specificities of MMPs as well as the mode of activation of the unique MMP precursors. The regulation of MMP activity at the transcriptional level and at the extracellular level (precursor activation, inhibition of activated, mature enzymes) is also discussed. A final segment of the review details the current knowledge of the involvement of MMP in specific developmental or pathological conditions, including human periodontal diseases.

Abstract
This review assesses recent data concerning the role of cytokines produced by a variety of cells in bone on osteoblast function. The following themes are presumed: (1) osteoblasts are mesenchymal cells which act as either the major cellular agents of bone formation or as modulators of bone resorption by osteoclasts. The regulation of osteoblast proliferation and differentiation may involve a negative feedback process resulting in phenotype suppression; (2) cytokines including platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF), parathyroid hormone-related proteins (PTHrP), bone morphogenic proteins (BMP), transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta), fibroblast growth factors (FGF), insulin-like growth factors (IGF), epidermal growth factors (EGF), interleukin-1 and 6, tumour necrosis factors (TNF), interferon and haematopoietic growth factors have effects on osteoblast differentiation and proliferation but their effectiveness may not be identical in vitro and in vivo; (3) finally, therapeutic strategies for cytokine use in clinical practice are considered.

Abstract
Osteoblasts produce proteolytic enzymes and their production is regulated by osteotropic agents. It has been suggested that these proteases play a role in bone resorption by removing the superficial collagenous layer from the bone matrix and indirectly inducing migration of osteoclast precursors towards the bone matrix. We examined the effect of the plasminogen activator tPA on osteoclastic resorption using 17-day-old mouse embryonic long bone explants representing different stages of osteoclast development, that is, radii containing already mature osteoclasts and metacarpals containing no mature osteoclasts but only osteoclast precursors/progenitors which are still confined to the periosteum. Tissue type PA stimulated osteoclastic resorption (measured as 45Ca-release) in 17-day-old fetal metacarpals but not in radii of the same animal. Blocking the enzymatic activity of tPA did not inhibit its effect on osteoclastic resorption. Plasmin, the direct product of PA enzymatic activity, did not induce osteoclastic resorption. However, a tPA-mutant missing the growth-factor-like domain of the molecule, failed to stimulate 45Ca-release from the metacarpals. In addition, in both systems tPA and transforming growth factor alpha had similar effects on osteoclastic resorption. The finding that tPA stimulated 45Ca-release only in the metacarpals suggests that tPA has an effect on osteoclast formation rather than on the activity of already mature osteoclasts. Under the experimental conditions used this effect seems to be mediated by the growth factor domain of tPA rather than by the enzymatic activity of the molecule.

Abstract
Production of proteolytic enzymes by osteoblasts is considered to be important for the initiation of osteoclastic bone resorption. We examined the production of tissue-type (tPA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) activity by three types of osteoblast-like cells (normal rat osteoblasts, rat and human osteosarcoma cells) using a quantitative spectrophotometric assay and a qualitative gel overlay technique. All 3 types of cells released both types of PA-activity into the medium, but normal rat osteoblasts released uPA probably in an inactive form. Treatment with different concentrations of the bone resorbing factors bovine Parathyroid Hormone [1-84], synthetic human Parathyroid Hormone-Like Protein [1-34]. Prostaglandin E2, Interleukin-1 beta, Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 increased in general the production of both PA's by all three cell types. However, there were differences in the relative potencies of these factors. In contrast, Transforming Growth Factor beta, which inhibits bone resorption, decreased PA-activity in osteoblast-like cells. In all three types of cells, under control as well as under stimulated conditions, a high molecular weight form of PA was demonstrated by the gel overlay technique, most likely a complex of tPA with the PA-inhibitor PAI-1. The uniform increase in production of PA's by osteoblast-like cells in response to bone resorbing factors and its decrease by TGF beta supports the notion that PA's are involved in bone resorption. The exact mechanism however, remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
We have investigated the effects of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) on the induction of substance P (SP) in cultured sympathetic ganglia. Northern blot analysis reveals that SP increases are secondary to an increase in mRNA coding for the preprotachykinin (PPT) precursor of SP. Nuclear transcription assays detect an early increase in PPT-specific nascent transcripts, suggesting that the ultimate effect of IL-1 is on transcription itself. Depolarizing agents, interferon-gamma, glucocorticoid hormones, and prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors all diminish the induction of SP and PPT mRNA by IL-1. Since SP has stimulatory effects on the immune system, the IL-1-induced increase in ganglionic SP may be one means by which the nervous and immune systems interact during an acute response to ganglionic injury.

Abstract
Regulation of the synthesis of collagenase was investigated in the osteoblastic cell line, UMR 106-01. The cells were stained by the avidin-biotin-complex technique for the presence of the enzyme. By this method, it was possible to identify cells producing collagenase. Synthesis, but not secretion, was found to be constitutive in these cells with the enzyme located intracellularly in cytoplasmic vesicles and the Golgi apparatus. The amount of collagenase contained within UMR cells and the number of cells synthesizing the enzyme were proportional to the concentration of fetal bovine serum in the incubating medium. When serum was withdrawn from the osteosarcoma cells, the content of collagenase decreased with time and the enzyme became undetectable by 48 h of serum depletion. The decrease in collagenase content could be completely reversed by resupplying serum to the cells. The collagenase promoting activity of serum could not be eliminated by adsorption on activated charcoal but was retained by a dialysis membrane with a 12,000 mol wt cutoff. A range of bone-seeking hormones or agents known to affect collagenase secretion was added to the medium in an attempt to mimic the effect of serum on collagenase accumulation. None of these agonists, including parathyroid hormone, could reproduce the effect of serum on these cells, although parathyroid hormone could act as a collagenase secretagogue in the presence or absence of serum. It is concluded that fetal bovine serum contains a yet unidentified factor or factors greater than 12,000 mol wt responsible for the continued synthesis of collagenase by UMR 106-01 cells.

Abstract
The mechanism of bone resorption induced by interleukin 1 (IL-1) was examined in mice using three different in vitro assay systems: a fetal long bone organ culture system, a bone marrow culture system, and a coculture system of primary osteoblastic cell populations and spleen cells. In the organ culture system, recombinant human IL-1 alpha (rhIL-1 alpha) increased both bone resorption and osteoclast number. Both were partially suppressed in the presence of indomethacin. In the marrow culture, both rhIL-1 alpha and rhIL-1 beta stimulated osteoclastlike cell formation, which was completely inhibited by adding indomethacin concurrently. Furthermore, there was a good correlation between the number of osteoclastlike cells formed and the amount of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) released into the culture media. This indicates that PGE2 is involved in the mechanism of IL-1-mediated osteoclastlike cell formation. In the coculture of primary osteoblastic cell populations and spleen cells, rhIL-1 again stimulated osteoclastlike cell formation, which was inhibited by adding indomethacin. In the cocultures in which direct interaction between osteoblastic cells and spleen cells was inhibited, PGE2 synthesis was similarly increased but no osteoclastlike cells were formed. These results indicate that IL-1 induces osteoclast formation by a mechanism involving PG (most likely PGE2). Furthermore, direct interaction between osteoclast progenitors and osteoblastic cells is required in the osteoclast recruitment induced by IL-1.

Abstract
The finding that osteoblasts synthesize collagenase has led to the hypothesis that bone cells play a major role in bone resorption by degrading the surface osteoid layer, thereby preparing the underlying mineralized bone for osteoclastic action. To further understand the mechanisms regulating osteoid removal, mouse calvarial osteoblasts were cultured on 14C-labelled type I collagen films and the abilities of (i) bovine bone matrix extracts and (ii) purified or recombinant human growth factors, to modify their collagenolytic behaviour were investigated. EDTA/Tris-HCl extracts of bone matrix containing growth factor activity, exerted a dose-dependent inhibition of type I collagenolysis by osteoblasts stimulated with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3, 10 ng/ml). Inhibition was accompanied by a reduction in collagenase activity and an increase in free TIMP (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases) in the culture medium. Transforming growth factor-beta, epidermal growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor and the acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors all mimicked these effects. In contrast, insulin-like growth factors-I and -II did not inhibit type I collagenolysis, only partially inhibited collagenase activity, and did not stimulate TIMP production by either 1,25(OH)2D3-treated or untreated cells. These findings provide additional evidence for the tight control exerted on the proteolytic activity of osteoblasts and the importance of TIMP in its regulation. They suggest strongly that the conversion (coupling) of the initial resorptive phase of the bone remodelling cycle to one of deposition, may be mediated by polypeptide growth factors either produced locally by osteoblasts, or released by proteolysis from the bone matrix.

Abstract
The production of collagenase by human articular chondrocytes in response to interleukin-1 beta is inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by interferon-gamma (1-1,000 units/ml). The analysis of culture medium samples by Western blotting and the measurement of levels of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases suggest that the decrease in measurable collagenase activity is primarily due to the inhibition of procollagenase production. These results provide evidence of a role for interferon-gamma in limiting connective tissue degradation.

Abstract
To investigate the mechanism of the inhibitory effects of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) on bone resorption, the effects of murine IFN-gamma on 45Ca release from prelabeled fetal mouse forearm bones were investigated. Murine IFN-gamma usually did not affect basal 45Ca release but almost completely and equipotently inhibited bone resorption induced by PTH(1-34), PTH-rP(1-34), 1,25(OH)2D3, and interleukin 1 (IL-1). The half-maximal concentration for inhibition of bone resorption induced by IL-1 alpha was 25.8 +/- 14.6 U/ml (mean +/- SD for 13 experiments), which is not different from those for PTH, PTH-rP, and 1,25(OH)2D3. There was no correlation between prostaglandin E2 concentration in the conditioned medium and 45Ca release from the IFN-gamma-treated forearm bones. The inhibitory effect of IFN-gamma on bone resorption induced by PTH-rP (1-34) or IL-1 alpha continued during 6 days of culture, whereas that of calcitonin disappeared after 2 days of culture. These findings suggest that IFN-gamma non-preferentially inhibits bone resorption induced by various bone-resorbing factors in fetal mouse forearm bones via a PGE2-independent mechanism. As no escape phenomenon developed in IFN-gamma-treated bones, the cytokine may be potentially useful for treatment of certain patients with malignancy-associated hypercalcemia.

Abstract
Recent studies have indicated that neutral collagenase can be produced in bones of rats. In addition, it has been demonstrated by in vitro studies that the enzyme is likely secreted by osteoblasts. Cells of the osteoblastic tumor cell line UMR-106 can be stimulated to produce not only collagenase, but also collagenase inhibitor and plasminogen activator. However, it is conceivable that not all osteoblasts produce all of these proteins. In this study, in which UMR cells were maximally stimulated with PTH, only a subpopulation of cells was observed to produce enhanced levels of collagenase but all cells had the ability to synthesize plasminogen activator. Cells of the rat osteosarcoma line UMR-106-01 were stained for the presence of collagenase and tissue plasminogen activator using an immunohistochemical procedure. In many cases, the cells were exposed to monensin for the final 3 h of incubation as well as to the inducing agent PTH. Monensin prevented export of the enzymes, enabling them to be visualized within their cell or origin. Maximal stimulation of collagenase was demonstrated to occur 8 h after exposure to 10(-8) -10(-7) M PTH. Under these conditions, 14-17% of the cells appeared to synthesize elevated amounts of collagenase (as determined by intense staining). Without PTH stimulation, there was a low level of collagenase in all cells, but less than 1% of the cells stained heavily for the enzyme. In contrast, strong staining for plasminogen activator was observed in all cells with or without PTH treatment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
There is mounting evidence implicating cytokines such as interleukin-1 in the local regulation of bone homeostasis. In this report we show that recombinant human interleukin-1 beta (rhIL-1 beta) influences several activities of osteoblast-like cells derived from human trabecular bone explants in vitro. rhIL-1 beta stimulated cellular proliferation and the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 and plasminogen activator activity in the cultured human osteoblast-like cells in a dose-dependent manner. However, the induction of osteocalcin synthesis and alkaline phosphatase activity in response to 1,25(OH)2D3, two characteristics of the osteoblast phenotype, were antagonized by rhIL-1 beta over a similar dose range. This study adds further support to the potential role of interleukin-1 in the physiological and pathological modulation of bone cell metabolism.

Abstract
The clonally derived mouse osteoblast-like cell line MC3T3-E1 was shown to produce latent collagenase (approximately 0.2 units/ml) under stimulation with either heparin or parathyroid hormone in confluent cultures. However, it was found that MC3T3 E1 cultures which were first induced to undergo mineralization by the addition of beta-glycerophosphate and were subsequently stimulated with heparin showed an approximately ten-fold increase in collagenase synthesis. MC3T3-E1 cell collagenase from a small sample of serum-free culture medium was purified 49-fold to a specific activity of 200 units/mg protein with a yield of 14% by heparin-sepharose affinity chromatography and ion-exchange high performance liquid chromatography. This new mineralization-primed cell culture system may be a valuable model for the study of osteoblast collagenase.
