Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Osteitis is recognized as a common factor in recalcitrant chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). There is evidence for the association of osteitis with revision surgeries and CRS severity, in terms of higher Lund-Mackay scores. This is a narrative review on the osteitis in CRS patients. RECENT FINDINGS Evidence to date is inconclusive with regard to the etiology and pathogenesis of this bony thickening. Histopathology of osteitis in primary CRS is likely a process of neo-osteogenesis and bone remodeling. For better understanding, various associating factors have been studied including an inflammatory pattern of rhinosinusitis. Recent studies have associated osteitis with nasal polyps and tissue eosinophilia with the increase in periostin expression and P-glycoprotein mucosal expression. There is no association of osteitis to symptoms or quality of life. Osteitis is an outcome of neo-osteogenesis rather than inflammatory processes in CRS patients without a prior history of surgery. While CT has become a staple in osteitis assessment, the standards for grading osteitic severity remain in an experimental stage. There is no association between the presence or severity of osteitis at the time of surgery and clinical outcomes at 1 year after surgery. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the pathogenesis, epidemiology, and correlation with clinical and biological factors of osteitis in CRS patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The histological features of osteitis in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in animal studies induced by bacterial inoculation into maxillary sinuses revealed inflammatory involvement of the underlying bone matrix and/or the Haversian system; however, human studies do not mention these findings. The objective of this study was to investigate the inflammatory characterization of osteitis in CRS. METHOD A prospective study of primary CRS patients undergoing sinus surgery was conducted (August 2012 to April 2013). Bone-mucosa samples were taken from a predetermined site that correlated to a computed tomography location. Radiological bone thickness was measured. A blinded histopathological assessment included inflammatory infiltrate of bone, periosteal reaction, presence of osteoblasts or osteoclasts, fibrosis, and the percentage of new woven bone to total bone thickness, together with an overall opinion of whether neo-osteogenesis was present. RESULTS Twenty-two primary CRS patients (age 45.8 ± 15.6 years; 59.1% female) were recruited. CRS with polyps accounted for 59.1% of patients. The bony thickness measured radiologically was a median 1.72 (interquartile range [IQR], 2.38; range, 0.3-12.14) mm. No samples (0%) had evidence of inflammatory infiltrate of bone; 90.9% had both osteoblasts present and new woven bone formation. Woven bone was greater with periosteal reaction (80.83% ± 9.25% vs. 47.50% ± 29.37%; p = 0.006), greater with osteoclasts present (80.00% ± 12.58% vs 59.00% ± 28.52%; p = 0.03), and greater when fibrosis was present (69.75% ± 24.14% vs 25.00% ± 7.07%; p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Most primary CRS patients demonstrated evidence of new woven bone formation. True "osteitis" with inflammatory infiltrate of the bone was not observed. "Osteitis" is likely a process of neo-osteogenesis and bone remodeling, rather than bone inflammation in primary CRS.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Chronic metabolic acidosis induces net Ca efflux from bone; this osteoclastic bone resorption is mediated by increased osteoblastic prostaglandin synthesis. Cyclooxygenase, the rate-limiting enzyme in prostaglandin synthesis, is present in both constitutive (COX-1) and inducible (COX-2) forms. We report here that acidosis increases both osteoblastic RNA and protein levels for COX-2 and that genetic deficiency or pharmacologic inhibition of COX-2 significantly reduces acid-induced Ca efflux from bone. INTRODUCTION Incubation of neonatal mouse calvariae in medium simulating physiologic metabolic acidosis induces an increase in osteoblastic prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release and net calcium (Ca) efflux from bone. Increased PGE2 is necessary for acid-induced bone resorption, because inhibition of cyclooxygenase activity with indomethacin significantly decreases not only PGE2 production but also Ca release. Cyclooxygenase is present in both constitutive (COX-1) and inducible (COX-2) forms. Because COX-2 activity has been implicated in several forms of pathological bone resorption, we tested the hypothesis that COX-2 is critical for acid-induced, cell-mediated bone Ca efflux. MATERIALS AND METHODS To determine the effect of metabolic acidosis on COX-2 RNA and protein, primary cells isolated from neonatal CD-1 mouse calvariae were cultured in neutral (Ntl) or physiologically acidic medium (Met). RNA levels for COX-2 and COX-1 were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Levels of COX-2 and COX-1 protein were measured by immunoblot analysis. To determine the effect of acidosis on bone Ca efflux in genetically deficient COX-2 mice, mice heterozygous for the COX-2 knockout (strain B6;129S7-Ptgs2(tm1Jed)/J) were used as breeders, and neonatal calvariae were cultured in Ntl or Met. To determine the effects of the specific COX-2 inhibitor, NS398, on acid-induced bone resorption, CD-1 calvariae were incubated in Ntl or Met with or without NS398 (1 microM). Medium PGE2 was assayed by ELISA. RESULTS Incubation of mouse calvarial cells in Met significantly increased COX-2 RNA and protein levels without a change in COX-1. Increased COX-2 protein levels in response to Met were also observed in cultured calvariae. Acid-induced, cell-mediated Ca efflux from B6;129S7-Ptgs2(tm1Jed)/J calvariae was dependent on genotype. From 0 to 24 h, when physicochemical Ca efflux predominates, Met significantly increased net Ca efflux in all genotypes. After 24 h, when cell-mediated Ca efflux predominates, Met induced greater Ca efflux from (+/+) than from (+/-), and there was no increase from (-/-). In calvariae from CD-1 mice, NS398 significantly inhibited both the acid-induced increase in PGE2 and Ca release. CONCLUSIONS The specific acid-induced increase in COX-2 RNA and protein levels and the dependency of the increased Ca efflux on COX-2 activity, as determined by both genetic deficiency and pharmacologic inhibition, show that COX-2 is critical for acid-induced, cell-mediated bone resorption.

Abstract
Epidemiological evidence and in vitro data suggest that COX-2 is a key regulator of accelerated remodeling. Accelerated states of osteoblast and osteoclast activity are regulated by prostaglandins in vitro, but experimental evidence for specific roles of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) in activated states of remodeling in vivo is lacking. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of specific inhibitors of sPLA2-IIa and COX-2 on bone remodeling activated by estrogen deficiency in adult female rats. One hundred and twenty-four adult female Wistar rats were ovariectomized (OVX) or sham-operated. Rats commenced treatment 14 days after surgery with either vehicle, a COX-2 inhibitor (DFU at 0.02 mg/kg/day and 2.0 mg/kg/day) or a sPLA2-group-IIa inhibitor (KH064 at 0.4 mg/kg/day and 4.0 mg/kg/day). Treatment continued daily until rats were sacrificed at 70 days or 98 days post-OVX. The right tibiae were harvested, fixed and embedded in methylmethacrylate for structural histomorphometric bone analysis at the proximal tibial metaphysis. The specific COX-2 or sPLA2 inhibitors prevented ovariectomy-induced (OVX-induced) decreases in trabecular connectivity (P<0.05); suppressed the acceleration of bone resorption; and maintained bone turnover at SHAM levels following OVX in the rat. The sPLA2 inhibitor significantly suppressed increases in osteoclast surface induced by OVX (P<0.05), while the effect of COX-2 inhibition was less marked. These findings demonstrate that inhibitors of COX-2 and sPLA2-IIa can effectively suppress OVX-induced bone loss in the adult rat by conserving trabecular bone mass and architecture through reduced bone remodeling and decreased resorptive activity. Moreover, we report an important role of sPLA2-IIa in osteoclastogenesis that may be independent of the COX-2 metabolic pathway in the OVX rat in vivo.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 are cytokines that inhibit bone resorption. Data showing an inhibitory effect of IL-4 and IL-13 on RANK mRNA in mouse calvariae were first reported at the 22nd American Society for Bone and Mineral Research Meeting (Lerner, U.H., and Conaway, H. H. 2000) J. Bone Min. Res. 15, Suppl. 1, Abstr. SU 230). In the present study, release of 45Ca from cultured mouse calvarial bones stimulated by different cytokines, peptides, and steroid hormones was inhibited by IL-4 and IL-13. IL-4 and IL-13 decreased receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and RANK mRNA and increased osteoprotegerin (OPG) mRNA in calvariae. Additionally, the cytokines decreased RANKL protein and increased OPG protein in calvarial bones. In osteoblasts isolated from calvariae, both an increase in RANKL mRNA and a decrease in OPG mRNA and protein elicited by vitamin D3 were reversed by IL-4 and IL-13. IL-4 and IL-13 decreased the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase positive multinucleated cells and the mRNA expression of calcitonin receptor, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, and cathepsin K in mouse spleen cells and bone marrow macrophages (BMM) treated with macrophage colony-stimulating factor and RANKL. Inhibition of mRNA for RANK and the transcription factor NFAT2 was also noted in spleen cell and BMM cultures treated with IL-4 and IL-13. In addition, RANK mRNA and RANK protein were decreased by IL-4 and IL-13 in RAW 264.7 cells. Osteoblasts, spleen cells, and BMM expressed mRNA for the four proteins making up the IL-4 and IL-13 receptors. No effects by IL-4 on bone resorption and osteoclast formation or on RANKL and RANK mRNA expression were seen in Stat6-/- mice. The data indicate that IL-4 and IL-13, via a STAT6-dependent pathway, inhibit osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption by activating receptors on osteoblasts and osteoclasts that affect the RANKL/RANK/OPG system.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In vitro assays revealed that COX-2 inhibitors with CA II inhibitory potency suppressed both differentiation and activity of osteoclasts, whereas that without the potency reduced only osteoclast differentiation. However, all COX-2 inhibitors similarly suppressed bone destruction in adjuvant-induced arthritic rats, indicating that suppression of osteoclast differentiation is more effective than that of osteoclast activity for the treatment. INTRODUCTION Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) are known to play important roles in the differentiation of osteoclasts and the activity of mature osteoclasts, respectively. Because several COX-2 selective agents were recently found to possess an inhibitory potency against CA II, this study compared the bone sparing effects of COX-2 selective agents with and without the CA II inhibitory potency. MATERIALS AND METHODS Osteoclast differentiation was determined by the mouse co-culture system of osteoblasts and bone marrow cells, and mature osteoclast activity was measured by the pit area on a dentine slice resorbed by osteoclasts generated and isolated from bone marrow cells. In vivo effects on arthritic bone destruction were determined by radiological and histological analyses of hind-paws of adjuvant-induced arthritic (AIA) rats. RESULTS CA II was expressed predominantly in mature osteoclasts, but not in the precursors. CA II activity was inhibited by sulfonamide-type COX-2 selective agents celecoxib and JTE-522 similarly to a CA II inhibitor acetazolamide, but not by a methylsulfone-type COX-2 inhibitor rofecoxib. In vitro assays clearly revealed that celecoxib and JTE-522 suppressed both differentiation and activity of osteoclasts, whereas rofecoxib and acetazolamide suppressed only osteoclast differentiation and activation, respectively. However, bone destruction in AIA rats was potently and similarly suppressed by all COX-2 selective agents whether with or without CA II inhibitory potency, although only moderately by acetazolamide. CONCLUSIONS Suppression of osteoclast differentiation by COX-2 inhibition is more effective than suppression of mature osteoclast activity by CA II inhibition for the treatment of arthritic bone destruction.

Abstract
The absence of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity in vitro reduces differentiation of both bone-forming and bone-resorbing cells. To examine the balance of COX-2 effects on bone in vivo, we studied COX-2 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice. After weaning, KO mice died 4 times faster than WT mice, consistent with reports of progressive renal failure in KO mice. Among KO mice killed at 4 months of age, some had renal failure with marked secondary hyperparathyroidism, but others appeared healthy. On the assumption that renal failure was not inevitable in COX-2 KO mice and that phenotypic differences might increase with age, we studied KO mice surviving to 10 months of age with serum creatinine levels similar to those of WT mice. In 10-month-old male KO mice, serum calcium and PTH, but not phosphorus, levels were increased compared with those in WT mice. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) levels were markedly elevated in KO mice. Skeletal analysis showed small nonsignificant decreases in cortical bone density by BMD and either an increase (distal femur, by microcomputed tomography) or no difference (distal femur, by static histomorphometry) in trabecular bone density in KO mice. There was a trend toward increased percent osteoblastic and osteoclastic surfaces, and on dynamic histomorphometry, the rates of trabecular bone formation and mineral apposition were increased in KO mice relative to WT mice. Similar trends were observed for most parameters in 10-month-old female COX-2 KO mice. However, rates of trabecular bone formation and mineral apposition were increased in 10-month-old WT females compared with males and did not increase further in female KO mice. These data suggest that COX-2 KO mice with intact renal function have primary hyperparathyroidism, and that effects of increased PTH and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) to increase bone turnover may compensate for the absence of COX-2.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review presents our current understanding of the way metabolic acidosis induces calcium efflux from bone, and in the process, buffers additional systemic hydrogen ions associated with acidosis. RECENT FINDINGS Acid-induced changes in bone mineral are consistent with a role for bone as a proton buffer. In response to metabolic acidosis in an in-vitro bone organ culture system, we observed a fall in mineral sodium, potassium, carbonate and phosphate, which each buffer protons and in vivo should increase systemic pH towards the physiologic normal. Initially, metabolic acidosis stimulates physicochemical mineral dissolution and subsequently cell-mediated bone resorption. Acidosis suppresses the activity of bone-resorbing cells, osteoblasts, decreasing gene expression of specific matrix proteins and alkaline phosphatase activity. There is concomitant acid stimulation of prostaglandin production by osteoblasts, which acting in a paracrine manner increases synthesis of the osteoblastic receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL). The acid induction of RANKL then stimulates osteoclastic activity and recruitment of new osteoclasts to promote bone resorption and buffering of the proton load. Both the regulation of RANKL and acid-induced calcium efflux from bone are mediated by prostaglandins. SUMMARY Metabolic acidosis, which occurs during renal failure, renal insufficiency or renal tubular acidosis, results in decreased systemic pH and is associated with an increase in urine calcium excretion. The apparent protective function of bone to help maintain systemic pH, which has a clear survival advantage for mammals, will come partly at the expense of its mineral stores.

Abstract
Metabolic acidosis increases urine calcium excretion without an increase in intestinal calcium absorption, resulting in a net loss of bone mineral. In vitro metabolic acidosis induces bone calcium efflux initially by physicochemical dissolution and subsequently by cell-mediated mechanisms involving inhibition of osteoblasts and stimulation of osteoclasts. In bone, prostaglandins (PGs) are important mediators of bone resorption and we have recently determined that acid-induced bone resorption is mediated by PGs. Utilizing neonatal mouse calvariae in culture, we found that decreasing pH by a reduction in bicarbonate concentration, a model of metabolic acidosis, induced an increase in net calcium efflux and in medium prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels, both of which were inhibited in the presence of indomethacin. There was a direct correlation between calcium flux and medium PGE2. If pH is lowered to a comparable degree by an increase in pCO2 to model respiratory acidosis, there was no significant stimulation of net calcium efflux from the calvariae and no stimulation of PGE2 production. We have also shown that metabolic acidosis alters osteoblastic expression of a specific osteoclastogenic factor, RANKL, and this response is also PG dependent. Incubation of calvariae in acid medium stimulated expression of RANKL RNA in parallel with the increased calcium flux. Both responses were inhibited in the presence of indomethacin. Thus metabolic, but not respiratory, acidosis induces production of bone PGE2, which mediates acid-induced bone resorption.

Abstract
This study initially confirmed that, among prostaglandins (PGs) produced in bone, only PGE(2) has the potency to stimulate osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in the mouse coculture system of osteoblasts and bone marrow cells. For the PGE(2) biosynthesis two isoforms of the terminal and specific enzymes, membrane-associated PGE(2) synthase (mPGES) and cytosolic PGES (cPGES) have recently been identified. In cultured mouse primary osteoblasts, both mPGES and cyclooxygenase-2 were induced by the bone resorptive cytokines interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and fibroblast growth factor-2. Induction of mPGES was also seen in the mouse long bone and bone marrow in vivo by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide. In contrast, cPGES was expressed constitutively both in vitro and in vivo without being affected by these stimuli. An antisense oligonucleotide blocking mPGES expression inhibited not only PGE(2) production, but also osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption stimulated by the cytokines, which was reversed by addition of exogenous PGE(2). We therefore conclude that mPGES, which is induced by and mediates the effects of bone resorptive stimuli, may make a target molecule for the treatment of bone resorptive disorders.

Abstract
Bone cells produce multiple growth factors and cytokines that have effects on bone metabolism and can be incorporated into the bone matrix. The present study was designed to extend these observations by examining the interactions between transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) or interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and bone cells in a rat long bone culture model. IL-1beta regulates several activities of the osteoblast cells derived from rat long bone explants in vitro. IL-1beta stimulated cellular proliferation and the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 and plasminogen activator activity in the cultured cells in a dose-dependent manner. TGF-B is present in the bone matrix and potentially can be released during bone resorption. TGF-beta reduced basal bone resorption and inhibited vitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3]-induced bone resorption in rat long bone cells. These studies support the role of IL-1beta in the pathological modulation of bone cell metabolism, with regard to implication in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis by IL-1beta, and that TGF-beta is positively inhibiting the bone resorption.

Abstract
Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) regulates several activities of the osteoblast cells derived from mouse calvarial bone explants in vitro. IL-1beta stimulated cellular proliferation and the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 in the cultured cells in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, plasminogen activator activity of the mouse osteoblast was positively affected by IL-1beta in a dose-dependent manner over the dosage range of 0.01 ng-2 ng/mL with a maximal effect being observed at 2 ng/mL. However, the induction of osteocalcin synthesis and alkaline phosphatase activity in response to vitamin D, two characteristics of the osteoblast phenotype, were significantly antagonized by IL-1beta over a similar dose range. Treatment of mouse calvarial bone cells with IL-1beta resulted in a dose dependent stimulation of bone resorption and the bone resorption induced by IL-1beta was strongly inhibited by calcitonin treatment, indicating osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, suggesting that the bone resorption induced by IL-1beta appears to be osteoclast-mediated. This study supports the role of IL-1beta in the pathological modulation of bone cell metabolism, with regard to implication of the pathogenesis of osteoporosis by IL-1beta.

Abstract
Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is a stromal cell-derived cytokine that can enhance osteoclast formation and stimulate bone resorption. In the present study, the characteristics of the resorptive effect of IL-11 in mouse calvarial bones were investigated. Both recombinant mouse IL-11 and human IL-11 caused concentration- and time-dependent stimulations of (45)Ca release from prelabeled mouse calvariae. Half-maximal responses were obtained at 0.7 ng/mL (approximately 40 pmol/L). Mouse and human IL-11 also stimulated release of (3)H from [(3)H]-proline-labeled bones. The magnitude of the (45)Ca and (3)H release (1.4-1.6-fold) caused by a maximally effective concentration of IL-11 was less than the stimulation (2.5-4.0-fold) elicited by a maximum concentration of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Release of (45)Ca by IL-11 was unaffected by the mitotic inhibitors, hydroxyurea and aphidicolin. In addition to resorption of bone, IL-11 caused a small (1.5-2.0-fold) enhancement of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) biosynthesis in calvariae, but had no effect on the mRNA expression of cyclooxygenase-1 and -2, or cytosolic phospholipase A(2). Indomethacin and flurbiprofen abolished the formation of PGE(2) and partially reduced (45)Ca release stimulated by IL-11. When either mouse interleukin-4 (IL-4) or interleukin-13 (IL-13) was added to calvariae treated with IL-11, (45)Ca release was inhibited. Resorption caused by IL-11 was also inhibited by both anti-mouse glycoprotein 130 (gp130) and an antibody neutralizing IL-11, but these agents had no effect on (45)Ca release caused by PTH or 1,25(OH)(2)vitamin D(3) (D(3)). Real-time, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis (TaqMan PCR) and semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) demonstrated that IL-11 caused concentration-dependent enhancements of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) mRNA, without affecting the mRNA expression of RANK. Mouse RANKL stimulated (45)Ca release in the calvarial bones. The stimulatory effects of RANKL and IL-11 were inhibited by mouse OPG. These data demonstrate that IL-11 stimulates osteoclastic resorption in mouse calvariae by mechanisms that are independent of cell proliferation; partially dependent on prostaglandin biosynthesis; sensitive to inhibition by IL-4, IL-13, and OPG; and associated with enhanced expression of RANKL and OPG. In addition, IL-11 was not found to play an essential role in resorption stimulated by other calciotropic agents in calvariae.

Abstract
The effects of an important new anti-inflammatory agent, the selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor celecoxib, on bone resorption and osteoclastogenesis elicited by the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and the systemic hormones 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) and parathyroid hormone were examined in vitro. Bone resorption was evaluated by measuring calcium released into the culture medium in a neonatal mouse calvarial bone organ culture. Osteoclastogenesis was evaluated by measuring tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity in the cells in cocultures of bone marrow cells and osteoblastic cells and in macrophage-colony-stimulating factor-dependent bone marrow cell cultures. Celecoxib (0.1 microM) completely inhibited the calcium release induced by IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, and LPS. The resorptive effect of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) was inhibited partially by celecoxib. In contrast, celecoxib did not inhibit the calcium release elicited by parathyroid hormone or prostaglandin E(2). Celecoxib (0.1 microM) also markedly inhibited osteoclastogenesis induced by these stimulators of bone resorption except for PGE(2) in the coculture system, whereas it failed to inhibit osteoclastogenesis in macrophage-colony-stimulating factor-dependent bone marrow cell cultures. These results indicate that, under certain conditions, cyclooxygenase-2-dependent prostaglandin synthesis is critical for the bone resorption induced by IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, and LPS, and for the osteoclastogenesis induced by these pro-inflammatory molecules and calciotropic hormones. The prevention of prostaglandin synthesis by inflammatory cytokines in bone cells could contribute to the efficacy of celecoxib in preventing bone loss in rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
A decrease in blood pH may be due to either a reduction in bicarbonate concentration ([HCO(3)(-)]; metabolic acidosis) or to an increase in PCO(2) (respiratory acidosis). In mammals, metabolic, but not respiratory, acidosis increases urine calcium excretion without altering intestinal calcium absorption, indicating that the additional urinary calcium is derived from bone. In cultured bone, chronic metabolic, but not respiratory, acidosis increases net calcium efflux (J(Ca)), decreases osteoblastic collagen synthesis, and increases osteoclastic bone resorption. Metabolic acidosis increases bone PGE(2) production, which is correlated with J(Ca), and inhibition of PGE(2) production inhibits this acid-induced J(Ca). Given the marked differences in the osseous response to metabolic and respiratory acidosis, we hypothesized that incubation of neonatal mouse calvariae in medium simulating respiratory acidosis would not increase medium PGE(2) levels, as observed during metabolic acidosis. To test this hypothesis, we determined medium PGE(2) levels and J(Ca) from calvariae incubated at pH approximately 7.1 to model either metabolic (Met; [HCO(3)(-)] approximately 11 mM) or respiratory (Resp; PCO(2) approximately 83 Torr) acidosis, or at pH approximately 7.5 as a control (Ntl). We found that after 24-48 and 48-51 h in culture, periods when cell-mediated J(Ca) predominates, medium PGE(2) levels and J(Ca) were increased with Met, but not Resp, compared with Ntl, and there was a direct correlation between medium PGE(2) levels and J(Ca). Thus metabolic, but not respiratory, acidosis induces the release of bone PGE(2), which mediates J(Ca) from bone.

Abstract
Metabolic acidosis induces bone calcium efflux initially by physicochemical dissolution and subsequently by cell-mediated mechanisms involving inhibition of osteoblasts and stimulation of osteoclasts. In rat kidney, acidosis increases endogenous prostaglandin synthesis, and in bone, prostaglandins are important mediators of resorption. To test the hypothesis that acid-induced bone resorption is mediated by prostaglandins, we cultured neonatal mouse calvariae in neutral or physiologically acidic medium with or without 0.56 microM indomethacin to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. We measured net calcium efflux and medium PGE(2) levels. Compared with neutral pH medium, acid medium led to an increase in net calcium flux and PGE(2) levels after both 48 h and 51 h, a time at which acid-induced net calcium flux is predominantly cell mediated. Indomethacin inhibited the acid-induced increase in both net calcium flux and PGE(2). Net calcium flux was correlated directly with medium PGE(2) (r = 0.879, n = 29, P < 0.001). Exogenous PGE(2), at a level similar to that found after acid incubation, induced net calcium flux in bones cultured in neutral medium. Acid medium also stimulated an increase in PGE(2) levels in isolated bone cells (principally osteoblasts), which was again inhibited by indomethacin. Thus acid-induced stimulation of cell-mediated bone resorption appears to be mediated by endogenous osteoblastic PGE(2) synthesis.

Abstract
We examined the effect on osteoclast formation of disrupting the prostaglandin G/H synthase genes PGHS-1 and-2. Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production was significantly reduced in marrow cultures from mice lacking PGHS-2 (PGHS-2(-/-)) compared with wild-type (PGHS-2(+/+)) cultures. Osteoclast formation, whether stimulated by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25-D) or by parathyroid hormone (PTH), was reduced by 60-70% in PGHS-2(-/-) cultures relative to wild-type cultures, an effect that could be reversed by providing exogenous PGE(2). Cultures from heterozygous mice showed an intermediate response. PGHS inhibitors caused a similar drop in osteoclast formation in wild-type cultures. Co-culture experiments showed that supporting osteoblasts, rather than osteoclast precursors, accounted for the blunted response to 1,25-D and PTH. This lack of response appeared to result from reduced expression of RANK ligand (RANKL) in osteoblasts. We cultured spleen cells with exogenous RANKL and found that osteoclast formation was 50% lower in PGHS-2(-/-) than in wild-type cultures, apparently because the former cells expressed high levels of GM-CSF. Injection of PTH above the calvaria caused hypercalcemia in wild-type but not PGHS-2(-/-) mice. Histological examination of bone from 5-week-old PGHS-2(-/-) mice revealed no abnormalities. Mice lacking PGHS-1 were similar to wild-type mice in all of these parameters. These data suggest that PGHS-2 is not necessary for wild-type bone development but plays a critical role in bone resorption stimulated by 1,25-D and PTH.

Abstract
Although histological studies have suggested that endothelial cells in bone (BDECs) are associated with some osteolytic bone diseases, it is still unclear how BDECs contribute to bone remodeling. Here we examined the response of BDECs to basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, FGF-2) using primary and cloned murine BDECs isolated from the femurs of BALB/c mice. Treatment of primary and cloned BDECs with bFGF induced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) mRNA and protein expression. Furthermore, bFGF promotes the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which is known to be a potent stimulator of bone resorption and to induce osteoclast formation. Because the secretion of PGE2 was suppressed by COX-2 specific inhibitor NS-398 and by COX-2 antisense oligodeoxynucleotides, bFGF promotes the synthesis of PGE2 in a COX-2-dependent manner. Therefore, endothelial cells in bone are associated with bone remodeling by controlling COX-2 expression and consequently PGE2 production.

Abstract
Abstract
CD23, the low affinity IgE receptor, is up-regulated on the surface of IL-4-treated B cells and monocytes and is immediately proteolytically processed, releasing soluble fragments of CD23. Here, we report that inhibitors of the p38 mitogen-activated kinase (p38 MAPK), SK&F 86002 or the more selective inhibitor, SB 203580, reduce the levels of soluble CD23 formed by IL-4-stimulated human monocytes or the human monocytic cell line, U937. In contrast to compounds such as the metalloprotease inhibitor batimastat ([4-(N-hydroxyamino)-2-(R)-isobutyl-3-(S)-(2-thiophenethiomethyl)succinyl]-(S)-phenylalanine-N-methylamide, sodium salt), p38 MAPK inhibitors do not directly inhibit proteolytic processing of CD23. Further, evaluation of surface intact CD23 (iCD23) by flow cytometry demonstrated that SK&F 86002 and SB 203580 reduced the surface expression of iCD23 in a concentration-dependent fashion, while batimastat increased the surface expression of iCD23. The decrease in surface iCD23 was accompanied by a decrease in total cell-associated CD23 protein levels but not CD23 mRNA. IL-4 induced a late (>4-h) increase in p38 MAPK activity and corresponding activation of its substrate MAPKAPK-2. This activation was blocked by addition of SB 203580 before IL-4 induction, in parallel with the inhibition of CD23 expression. Modulation of CD23 by antibodies has been shown to alleviate the symptoms of murine collagen-induced arthritis, implicating CD23 as an important proinflammatory agent. These data show that in addition to the known cytokine inhibitory actions of SK&F 86002 and SB 203580, they also confer an additional potential anti-inflammatory activity through modulation of CD23 expression.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is an important factor in bone metabolism, and its actions may be mediated in part via prostaglandins. Prostaglandin G/H synthase (PGHS), a critical enzyme in the synthesis of prostaglandins, has two isoforms, PGHS-1, which is generally constitutively expressed, and PGHS-2, which is inducible. This study examines the effects of IL-1 on PGHS-2 mRNA expression in human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells, the human osteoblast-like initial transfectant (HOBIT) cell line, and primary human osteoblastic (HOB) cells. IL-1 induced PGHS-2 mRNA expression in MG-63 cells within 1 h, and expression was maintained for 24 h. There was a dose-related increase in PGHS-2 mRNA levels with 1-100 ng/ml of IL-1. Induction of PGHS-2 protein and media prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) paralleled induction of PGHS-2 mRNA levels. IL-1 similarly induced PGHS-2 mRNA expression and PGE2 production in HOBIT and HOB cells. Among other potential agonists, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) was a potent inducer of PGHS-2 expression, while forskolin (FSK), serum, and prostaglandins had little effect. Cycloheximide enhanced effects of both IL-1 and PMA, suggesting that de novo protein synthesis is not required for induction of PGHS-2. Twenty-four hours of PMA pretreatment blocked the induction of PGHS-2 by PMA but not by IL-1, suggesting that IL-1 induction of PGHS-2 mRNA is not dependent on the protein kinase C pathway. Although FSK alone had little effect, it enhanced induction of PGHS-2 mRNA by IL-1. PGHS-1 was constitutively expressed and showed little change with treatment. In summary, we show that IL-1 is a potent inducer of PGHS-2 expression and PGE2 production in human osteosarcoma cells as well as in osteoblastic cells derived from normal human bone.

Abstract
We previously found that human melanoma (A375M) and human breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cells formed osteolytic bone metastasis in vivo. These cancer cells produced interleukin-11 (IL-11) by themselves and stimulated its production from osteoblasts. Interleukin-11 could increase the number of osteoclasts and raise the calcium concentration in the medium of neonatal murine calvaria organ culture, indicating bone resorption in vitro. Therefore, IL-11 could play an important role in the promotion of osteolysis at the site of bone metastasis. In the present study, we used the calvaria culture system to try to clarify the mechanisms of IL-11-mediated bone resorption. The murine calvaria expressed both the specificity-determining alpha subunit and the signal-transducing beta subunit (gp130) of the IL-11 receptor. When IL-11 was added to the calvaria culture, the concentrations of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was elevated. Pretreatment of calvaria with cyclooxygenases inhibitors (e.g., indomethacin, NS-398, and dexamethasone) suppressed the production of PGE2 and the bone resorption induced by IL-11. Addition of exogenous PGE2 overcame the inhibitory effect of cyclooxygenases inhibitors and promoted bone resorption. These results indicate that IL-11 promotes bone resorption through a PGE2 synthesis-dependent mechanism and that cyclooxygenases inhibitors could be interesting drugs to suppress IL-11-mediated osteolytic bone metastasis of cancer cells.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) plays an important role in bone development and remodeling. TGFbeta stimulates PGE2 production, enhances interleukin-1-stimulated PGE2 production, and can stimulate PG-mediated bone resorption. We found that TGFbeta induced prostaglandin G/H synthase (PGHS-2) messenger RNA (mRNA) and PGE2 production in neonatal mouse calvarial cultures and in primary cells derived from these calvariae. We used MC3T3-E1 cells, an immortalized osteoblastic cell line derived from mouse calvariae, to examine the mechanism of PGHS-2 induction. PGHS-2 mRNA was rapidly induced by TGFbeta (10 ng/ml) in MC3T3-E1 cells; mRNA levels peaked at 4-8 h and were still elevated at 24 h. Induction of PGHS-2 protein and PGE2 production correlated with PGHS-2 mRNA levels. In contrast, TGFbeta had much less effect on PGHS-1 mRNA levels. Unlike the response to other agonists, PGHS-2 mRNA induction by TGFbeta was not enhanced by cycloheximide pretreatment, suggesting a requirement for new protein synthesis. To study transcriptional regulation, cells were stably transfected with a PGHS-2 promoter-luciferase reporter construct containing 371 bp of the 5'-flanking region and 70 bp of untranslated DNA from the PGHS-2 gene. TGFbeta-stimulated luciferase activity paralleled PGHS-2 mRNA induction. Stimulation of luciferase activity and PGHS-2 mRNA levels by other agonists, including interleukin-1, TGF alpha, forskolin, and phorbol 13-myristate 12-acetate, were enhanced by TGFbeta. A 90% drop in luciferase activity occurred with deletion of the region from -371 to -213 bp of the PGHS-2 promoter. The PG response to TGFbeta in MC3T3-E1 cells appears to be mediated primarily by transcriptional regulation of PGHS-2 expression through one or more cis-acting elements located between -371 and -213 bp in the 5'-flanking region of the PGHS-2 gene.

Abstract
Prostaglandin (PG) biosynthesis by cytokine stimulated normal adult human osteoblast-like (hOB) cells was evaluated by thin layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, and specific immunoassays. PGE2 was the predominant PG formed under all incubation conditions tested. Control samples produced measurable amounts of PGE2, and the measured level of this metabolite increased by 22-fold (from 7 to 152 ng/ml) following a 20 h treatment with the combination of TGF beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF). The production of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (the stable metabolite of prostacyclin) and of PGF2 alpha were each increased by about five-fold (from about 0.5 to 2.5 ng/ml) in samples treated with the cytokines. Thus, TGF beta and TNF exerted a regulation of hOB cell PG biosynthesis that was principally directed towards an increased PGE2 biosynthesis, with lesser effects on the production of other PG metabolites. COX-2 mRNA levels were increased within 2 h of cytokine stimulation, reached a maximum at 6-12 h, and levels had appreciably diminished by 24 h after treatment. Both TGF beta and TNF could independently increase COX-2 mRNA levels and PG biosynthesis. However, the increased production of PGE2 resulting from TNF stimulation was blocked by the addition of an interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) neutralizing antibody, suggesting that TNF regulation of hOB cell PG synthesis was secondary to its capacity to increase hOB cell IL-1 beta production. TGF beta regulation of PG production was not affected by the addition of the neutralizing antibody. These studies support the proposition that PGs can be important autocrine/paracrine mediators of bone biology, whose production by hOB cells is responsively regulated by osteotropic cytokines.

Abstract
The synthesis of prostaglandins (PGs) is regulated by the arachidonic acid release by phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and its conversion to PGs by cyclooxygenase (COX). In the present study, we examined the regulation of PG synthesis by interleukin (IL)-1alpha in primary mouse osteoblastic cells isolated from mouse calvaria. Although IL-1alpha greatly enhanced cox-2 mRNA expression and its protein levels, PGE2 was not produced until 24 h. When arachidonic acid was added to osteoblastic cells precultured with IL-1alpha for 24 h, PGE2 was produced within 10 min. Of several growth factors tested, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) specifically initiated the rapid synthesis of PGE2, which was markedly suppressed by a selective inhibitor of cox-2 (NS-398). In mouse osteoblastic cells, cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) mRNA and its protein were constitutively expressed and increased approximately 2-fold by IL-1alpha, but secretory PLA2 mRNA was not detected. PDGF rapidly stimulated PLA2 activity, which was blocked completely by a cPLA2 inhibitor (arachidonyltrifluoromethyl ketone). The PDGF-induced cPLA2 activation was accompanied by phosphorylation of its protein. These results indicate that cox-2 induction by IL-1alpha is not sufficient, but cPLA2 activation by PDGF is crucial for IL-1alpha-induced PGE2 synthesis in mouse osteoblasts.

Abstract
We recently reported that interleukin-4 (IL-4) inhibited prostanoid synthesis through inhibiting cyclooxygenase 2 biosynthesis. In the present study, we examined the effect of IL-4 on the expression of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). The amounts of protein and mRNA of cPLA2 were determined by western blotting and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), respectively. Although interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) had little effect on the biosynthesis of cPLA2 in phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-differentiated U937 cells, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increased the protein level of cPLA2 in a dose-dependent manner. IL-4 inhibited the increased synthesis of cPLA2 at the mRNA level. In addition, IL-4 inhibited the biosynthesis of cPLA2 in untreated or LPS treated freshly prepared rheumatoid synovial cells at the mRNA level. These findings suggest that IL-4 inhibits prostanoid synthesis through inhibiting the expression of both cPLA2 and cyclooxygenase 2.
