Abstract
Oestrogen has been shown to be neuroprotective for stroke and other neural injury models. Oestrogen promotes a neuroprotective phenotype through myriad actions, including stimulating neurogenesis, promoting neuronal differentiation and survival, suppressing neuroinflammation and maintaining the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. At the molecular level, oestrogen directly modulates genes that are beneficial for repair and regeneration via the canonical oestrogen receptor. Increasingly, evidence indicates that oestrogen acts in concert with growth factors to initiate neuroprotection. Oestrogen and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 act cooperatively to influence cell survival, and combined steroid hormone/growth factor interaction has been well documented in the context of neurones and astrocytes. Here, we summarise the evidence that oestrogen-mediated neuroprotection is critically dependent on IGF-1 signalling, and specifically focus on microglia as the source of IGF-1 and the locus of oestrogen-IGF-1 interactions in stroke neuroprotection.

Macrophage-depletion induced impairment of experimental CNS remyelination is associated with a reduced oligodendrocyte progenitor cell response and altered growth factor expression. Neurobiol Dis 2005; 18:166-75.

Abstract
Although macrophages are mediators of CNS demyelination, they are also implicated in remyelination. To examine the role of macrophages in CNS remyelination, adult rats were depleted of monocytes using clodronate liposomes and demyelination induced in the spinal cord white matter using lysolecithin. In situ hybridization for scavenger receptor-B and myelin basic protein (MBP) revealed a transiently impaired macrophage response associated with delayed remyelination in liposome-treated animals. Macrophage reduction corresponded with delayed recruitment of PDGFRalpha+ oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), which preceded changes in myelin phagocytosis, indicating a macrophage effect on OPCs independent of myelin debris clearance. Macrophage-depletion induced changes in the mRNA expression of insulin-like growth factor-1 and transforming growth factor beta1, but not platelet-derived growth factor-A and fibroblast growth factor-2. These data suggest that the macrophage response to toxin-induced demyelination influences the growth factor environment, thereby affecting the behavior of OPCs and hence the efficiency of remyelination.

Abstract
We have used a model of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in adult male C57BL/6 mice to study insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF-binding protein (IGFBP) expression in response to cerebral hypoxia-ischemia (H/I) in the adult mouse. A period of 20 min of H/I that resulted in histopathology in cortex, striatum, and thalamus was correlated with induction of mRNA for IGF-I, IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3, IGFBP-5, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) by 4 days of recovery. Increased IGF-I mRNA was located within damaged regions and was surrounded by IGFBP-2 mRNA expression. The results of combined immunostaining/in situ hybridzation showed that the cells expressing IGFBP-2 mRNA were also GFAP-positive and comprised a subset of activated astrocytes immediately surrounding areas of damage. In contrast, staining within damaged regions showed high numbers of cells immunopositive for F4/80 and lectin B(4) indicative of microglia and macrophages but no cells immunopositive for the astrocytic proteins GFAP or S-100beta. Microglia/macrophages within the damaged areas expressed IGF-I mRNA and were also immunopositive for the proliferating cell nuclear antigen. To determine whether expression of IGF-I could contribute to proliferation of microglia, we treated purified cultures of adult brain microglia with IGF-I in the presence of (3)H-thymidine. IGF-I stimulated a twofold increase in DNA synthesis in cultures of adult brain microglia. Taken together with previous data demonstrating that IGF-I promotes proliferation of peripheral macrophages, these data support the hypothesis that IGF-I is an autocrine/paracrine mitogen for microglia/macrophages after H/I.

Abstract
In order to develop bone substitutes, the design of biomaterials like calcium phosphate ceramic loaded with bone growth factor are of great interest. However, it is necessary to control the amount of growth factor adsorbed onto ceramics and the kinetics of its release. Radiolabeling of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) with 125-iodine ([(125)I]-IGF-I) and its adsorption onto porous tricalcium phosphate (TCP) cylinders enabled us to establish the time-adsorption and time-release curves using various concentrations of IGF-I. The adsorption curve increased rapidly and then flattened out at 72 h; 90% of the maximum was already reached at 24 h; and 20% of the adsorbed IGF-I was released in water within 4 days. In human serum the release was faster at 82% within 4 days. In vivo evaluation on an animal model was then performed. Rabbits' bilateral femoral cylindrical bone defects were filled with the TCP cylinders, which were either carrying IGF-I or implanted alone as a control in each rabbit. Bone turnover and ceramic resorption were stimulated by IGF-I loaded TCP according to standard radiography, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, histology, and histomorphometry.

Abstract
This review is focused on the possible interactions of prolactin and somatotrope hormone in the modulation of inflammation of the mammary gland. Several different models are examined: Escherichia coli, Streptococcus uberis, and endotoxin mastitis. Subsequently, the release of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor during fever and mastitis, the immunophysiological effects of GH on E. coli mastitis, S. uberis and endotoxin mastitis, the galactopoietic action of rBST on healthy and mastitis cows as well as the immunologic effects of GH on leukocytes in healthy and diseased cows are discussed. It can be concluded that the underlying regulation of the neuro-endocrine network is fundamental in the normal function of the immune system.

Abstract
The effect of recombinant bovine somatotropin (bST) on the chemiluminescence, diapedesis, and expression of adhesion receptors (CD11a, CD11b, CD18) of isolated polymorphonuclear leukocytes was studied. The plasma concentrations of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), bST, cortisol, and alpha-lactalbumin were also monitored. In addition, general and local clinical symptoms and the differentiation of circulating leukocytes were also studied during experimentally induced Streptococcus uberis mastitis in cows. Ten cows were infected with 500 cfu of S. uberis O140J in both left quarters. Five cows were subcutaneously treated with 500 mg of recombinant bST 7 d before and after infection, and 5 control cows received the excipient. General (fever, tachycardia, inappetance, and depression) and local symptoms (swelling, pain, firmness, and flecks in milk) were more acute, severe, and longer-lasting in control cows. Treatment with bST had no effect on chemiluminescence and diapedesis of circulating polymorphonuclear leukocytes and no effect on the expression of adhesion receptors. Recombinant bST induced significantly higher IGF-I and bST concentrations in plasma. The leukopenia observed after infection was less pronounced in the bST-treated cows, and the number of circulating band neutrophils and metamyelocytes was significantly lower in the treated group. The concentration of cortisol did not differ between both groups, but the blood concentration of alpha-lactalbumin significantly increased in both groups from 6 d after infection. These results showed that treatment with recombinant bST improves animal welfare by protecting the cows from severe local and general clinical symptoms during subsequent S. uberis mastitis, but that it has no effect on chemiluminescence, diapedesis, and the expression of adhesion receptors of circulating polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) plays a major role in regulating cell growth. This study examined the immunohistochemical distribution of IGF-I and IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) in tibias from normal and osteopetrotic (toothless, tl/tl) rats, following treatment with colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1). In normal rats, immunoreactivity for IGF-I and IGF-IR was detected in cells of the articular and epiphyseal cartilage, secondary ossification centres, zones of resting and proliferating chondrocytes and bone marrow. Bone marrow cells immunoreactive for IGF-I and IGF-IR were significantly reduced in the tl/tl rat (p < 0.001) compared with normal animals. Treatment of tl/tl rats with CSF-1 increased immunoreactivity for IGF-I and IGF-IR in bone marrow cells as well as the number of TRAP positive osteoclasts. This increase was the result of recruitment of a range of hematopoietic cell types, including eosinophils, polymorphs and a substantial number of monocyte-like cells demonstrating strong immunoreactivity to IGF-I/IGF-IR. The differences in relative immunoreactivity for IGF-I/IGF-IR by bone marrow cells in untreated and CSF-1-treated tl/tl rats indicate a CSF-1-dependent recruitment of cells bearing surface IGF-IRs which may be mediated by an increase in local or systemic IGF-I.

Abstract
Acromegalic patients present an increase of osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity, showing a different effect on the axial and appendicular skeletal structures. At this regard controversial data about bone mineral density (BMD) have been published in literature. In fact an increase of BMD levels in femoral neck and Ward's triangle without any difference in lumbar spine has been described. On the other hand normal BMD levels at forearm and reduced BMD levels at lumbar spine were found. These patients seem to have a reduction of trabecular BMD similar to postmenopausal osteoporotic patients despite normal or slightly elevated cortical BMD. Recently, it has been described that cytokines, in particular tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 (IL-1), are implicated in the pathogenetic mechanism of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Taking into account that growth hormone (GH) can increase TNF-alpha and IL-1 secretion by mononuclear blood cells, the evaluation of possible relationship between the reduced BMD at lumbar spine and circulating cytokines levels was carried out in acromegalic patients. In addition we evaluated the effect of acute octreotide administration on serum TNF-alpha and IL-I concentrations. Eleven patients with active acromegaly and eleven healthy age-, sex-, weight- and heightmatched subjects were enrolled in this study. BMD was significantly reduced at lumbar spine (0.80 +/- 0.29 g/cm2 vs 1.02 +/- 0.11 g/cm2; p < 0.01), but not at femoral neck level or at Ward's triangle level (0.92 + 0.15 g/cm2 vs 0.97 + 0.11 g/cm2, p = NS; and 0.74 +/- 0.16 g/cm2 vs 0.85 +/- 0.1 g/cm2, p = NS) when compared to controls. Baseline serum levels of TNF-alpha and IL-1 were in the normal range both in patients and controls. After acute octreotide administration, no differences in circulating TNF-alpha and IL-1 levels were found. In conclusion, acromegalic patients present a reduced BMD at lumbar spine but not at femoral neck level and Ward's triangle. Circulating cytokines such as TNF-alpha and IL-1 are in the normal range. These data suggest that cytokines are not involved in the pathogenesis of GH-excess induced osteoporosis. The possibility that the GH excess might affect bone turnover inducing an increase of cytokines acting by a paracrine/autocrine mechanism cannot be ruled out.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and its binding proteins (IGFBPs) are involved in proliferation and differentiation of many cell types. In the present study, the involvement of IGF-1 and IGFBPs in proliferation and differentiation of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) was investigated. L929-conditioned media (LCM) containing abundant macrophage colony-stimulating factor CSF-1 were used to stimulate BMDM development from their bone marrow precursors. The alteration of IGF-1 and IGFBPs during LCM-induced BMDM proliferation and differentiation was first studied. The cells were cultured in RPMI complete media containing 20% LCM for different time periods and then incubated in serum-free media for 24 h. The supernatants were collected for Western ligand blotting and immunoblotting analyses, and the cell pellets for Northern blotting analyses. The mRNA level of IGF-1 increased in a time-dependent manner. An increase of IGFBP-4 accumulation in the conditioned media was also observed during this process. However the mRNA expression of IGFBP-4 remained constant, indicating a posttranscriptional regulation of IGFBP-4 secretion and/or stability. The effects of exogenous recombinant human IGF-1 (rhIGF-1) on BMDM proliferation and differentiation were further studied. Two IGF-1 analogs (long R3 IGF-1 and des [1-3] IGF-1) were also used in parallel with regular IGF-1 to indicate the involvement of IGFBPs in BMDM development. Cells were cultured in complete media containing 20% LCM for different time periods, and then incubated in serum-free media in the presence of rhIGF-1 or its analogs for 24 h. These three forms of IGF-1 all potentiated the proliferation of freshly isolated BMDM precursors (d 0). rhIGF-1 and long R3 IGF-1, but not des (1-3) IGF-1, continued to stimulate the cell proliferation on d 1. The effects of these three forms of IGF-1 on BMDM differentiation were investigated using mannose receptor expression as a marker. Long R3 IGF-1 and des (1-3) IGF-1, but not rhIGF-1, enhanced BMDM differentiation on d 4. The different effects of rhIGF-1 and its analogs on BMDM differentiation suggest that the accumulation of IGFBP-4 in BMDM development might have an inhibitory effect on IGF-1 actions by sequestering free IGF-1.

Abstract
Skeletal growth is the net product of coordinated bone formation and resorption. Insulin is known to stimulate bone formation by actions on osteoblasts. It is not known whether insulin receptors are present on osteoclasts, or whether insulin regulates osteoclastic function. We present here immunocytochemical evidence of insulin receptor expression by mature mono- and multinucleated murine osteoclast-like cells generated in vitro, and in primary neonatal rat and mouse osteoclasts. Radiolabeled studies indicated that progressive enrichment of osteoclast-like cells in coculture was associated with increased insulin binding. When osteoclast-like cells generated in vitro were plated onto dentine slices, insulin dose-dependently inhibited pit formation by up to 80%, suggesting a role for insulin in osteoclast function. These data are consistent with an effect of insulin on bone resorption in addition to those previously recognized on bone formation, actions that together result in net bone growth.

Abstract
There have been several lines of evidence that parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates production of insulinlike growth factor I (IGF-I) in bone and that IGF-I stimulates osteoclast formation. Thus, the present study was performed to clarify the possible role of IGF-I in PTH-stimulated osteoclastlike cell formation and the role of PTH-responsive dual signal transduction systems (cyclic [c] AMP-dependent protein kinase [PKA] and calcium/protein kinase C [PKC]) in its mechanism. Treatment with anti-IGF-I antibody (1-10 micrograms/ml) partially but significantly blocked hPTH-(1-34)-stimulated osteoclastlike cell formation in unfractionated mouse bone cell cultures, although it did not affect osteoclastlike cell formation stimulated by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Rp-cAMP5 (10(-4) M), a direct PKA inhibitor, as well as two types of PKC inhibitors, H-7 (10 microM) and staurosporine (3 nM), and dantrolene (10(-5) M), an inhibitor of calcium mobilization from intracellular calcium stores, all significantly blocked PTH-stimulated osteoclastlike cell formation. Anti-IGF-I antibody (3 micrograms/ml) significantly blocked osteoclastlike cell formation stimulated by 10(-4) M dbcAMP, 10(-4) M Sp-cAMPS, a direct PKA activator, and 10(-5) M forskolin in mouse bone cell cultures. Dibutyryl cAMP, forskolin, and hPTH-(1-34) significantly stimulated mRNA expression of both IGF-I and IGF-binding protein 5 (IGFBP-5) in these cultures, but neither 10(-7) M PMA, a PKC activator, nor 10(-7) M A23187 did. Moreover, anti-IGF-I antibody significantly blocked osteoclastlike cell formation stimulated by the conditioned medium from MC3T3-E1 cells pretreated with 10(-8) PTH-(1-34), which induced IGF-I and IGFBP-5 mRNA expression in these cells. In conclusion, the present study indicates that IGF-I mediates osteoclastlike cell formation stimulated by PTH and that the PKA pathway is involved in its mechanism. However, IGF-I does not seem to be the sole effector molecule to be active in this system.

Abstract
The classical distinction between hormones and cytokines has become increasingly obscure with the realization that homeostatic responses to infection involve coordinated changes in both the neuroendocrine and immune systems. The hypothesis that these systems communicate with one another is supported by the ever-accruing demonstrations of a shared molecular network of ligands and receptors. For instance, leukocytes express receptors for hormones and these receptors modulate diverse biological activities such as the growth, differentiation and effector functions. Leukocyte lineages also synthesize and secrete hormones, such as insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), in response to both growth hormone (GH) and also to cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Since hormones share intracellular signaling substrates and biological activities with classical lymphohemopoietic cytokines, neuroendocrine and immune tissues share a common molecular language. The physiological significance of this shared molecular framework is that these homeostatic systems can intercommunicate. One important example of this interaction is the mechanism by which bacterial lipopolysaccharide, by eliciting a pro-inflammatory cytokine cascade from activated leukocytes, modulate pituitary GH secretion as well as other CNS-controlled behavioral and metabolic events. This article reviews the cellular and molecular basis for this communication system and proposes novel mechanisms by which neuroendocrine-immune interactions converge to modulate disease resistance, metabolism and growth.

Abstract
In order to examine the effect of growth hormone on urinary pyridinoline excretion, 32 patients with complete or partial growth hormone deficiency had their urinary pyridinoline excretion measured while receiving growth hormone and for 14 days after it was discontinued. There was a significant positive correlation between increases in growth velocities during the first year of growth hormone administration compared to before it, and the ratio of the urinary pyridinoline excretion levels while receiving growth hormone to those after discontinuation. Therefore, urinary pyridinoline excretion rapidly decreased in patients with growth hormone deficiency when the administration of growth hormone was stopped. Exogenous growth hormone appears to stimulate bone resorption in these patients.

Abstract
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an important local regulator in bone. The present study was performed to investigate the effect of PGE2 on osteoclast-like cell formation and bone-resorbing activity of mature osteoclasts in the presence or absence of osteoblasts, PGE2 (10(-8) to 10(-6) M) significantly stimulated osteoclast-like cell formation in osteoblast-containing mouse bone cell cultures, although it did not affect osteoclast-like cell formation from hemopoietic blast cells supported by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor in osteoblast-free mouse spleen cell cultures. The conditioned medium from osteoblastic UMR-106 cells pretreated with PGE2 (10(-8) and 10(-6) M) significantly stimulated osteoclast-like cell formation from hemopoietic blast cells. PGE2 also significantly stimulated the bone-resorbing activity of mature osteoclasts in osteoblast-containing mouse bone cell cultures. In contrast, PGE2 significantly inhibited the bone-resorbing activity and osteopontin mRNA expression in isolated rabbit osteoclasts. Rp-cAMPS, a direct protein kinase (PKA) antagonist, significantly inhibited PGE2-stimulated osteoclast-like cell formation and the bone-resorbing activity of mature osteoclasts, although protein kinase C inhibitors, dantrolene (an inhibitor of calcium release from the intracellular calcium pool) and voltage-dependent calcium channel blockers did not affect PGE2-stimulated osteoclast-like cell formation. In conclusion, PGE2 stimulated osteoclast-like cell formation and bone-resorbing activity in mouse bone cell cultures presumably through osteoblasts. The activation of PKA is linked to PGE2-stimulated osteoclast-like cell formation and bone-resorbing activity.

Abstract
Regulation of long bone growth by growth hormone and other endocrine factors is mediated by the local synthesis of IGF-I in the growth plate. Recent evidence suggests that different regions of the growth plate exhibit variable growth rates. To investigate whether IGF-I gene expression in the growth plate differs in relation to growth, we examined the distribution of IGF-I mRNA and peptide using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, respectively, in the tibiae of 18-week-old rats (n = 6). Osteoblasts were identified by osteocalcin immunoreactivity, and osteoclasts by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) histochemistry. The abundance of IGF-I mRNA in growth plate chondrocytes was quantified by counting the autoradiographic signal associated with each cell. IGF-I mRNA was identified in chondrocytes of both the proliferative and hypertrophic zones of the growth plate. Cells in the marginal regions of both zones contained significantly more IGF-I mRNA than those in the central region (p < 0.05). In addition, IGF-I mRNA levels were greater in the periphery of the growth plate on the medial side of the tibia (p < 0.05) in which there was more active growth than the lateral side. IGF-I immunoreactivity was present predominantly in the hypertrophic zone chondrocytes and no regional differences in its distribution were observed. IGF-I mRNA and peptide were also identified in periosteal fibroblasts, notably at sites of muscle attachment to bone, and in osteoblasts at active sites of bone remodelling in the periosteal, endocortical, and endosteal bone envelopes. In the TRAP-positive osteoclasts, IGF-I immunoreactivity, but not IGF-I mRNA, was detected. In addition, both IGF-I mRNA and peptide were identified in the hemopoietic cells of the metaphyseal bone marrow, whereas only IGF-I immunoreactivity was detectable in the diaphysis. We conclude that, in the tibiae of mature rats: (i) IGF-I gene expression in the growth plate is related to its growth and/or synthetic activity; and (ii) the presence of IGF-I in osteoblasts and osteoclasts suggests its involvement in active bone growth and remodeling.

Abstract
The vertebrate corneal endothelium represents a unique model system for investigating many cellular aspects of wound repair within an organized tissue in situ. The tissue exists as a cell monolayer that resides upon its own natural basement membrane that can be prepared as a flat mount to observe the entire cell population. Thus, it readily avails itself to many cytological and immunocytochemical methods at both the light microscopic and ultrastructural levels. In addition, the tissue is easily explanted into organ culture where further investigations can be carried out. These techniques have enabled investigators to use many approaches to explore function and changes in response to injury. In vivo, the endothelium acts as a transport tissue to actively pump Na+ and bicarbonate ions from the corneal stroma into the aqueous humor to control corneal transparency. Physiological findings indicate that fluid diffuses back into the stroma, across the endothelium, and thus hydration is said to be controlled by a pump-leak mechanism. Ultrastructural investigations, some employing horseradish peroxidase and lanthanum, have established the morphological basis for this mechanism as apical focal junctions that are not the classical tight junctions and do not constitute a complete zona occludens. Along with these apical focal junctions are gap junctions that appear identical to their counterparts in other cell types. Cytochemical studies localized both Na+K(+)-ATPase and carbonic anhydrase, the main pump enzymes associated with corneal hydration, to the lateral plasma membranes. Corneal endothelial cells of noninjured tissue do not traverse the cell cycle and are considered to be in the "Go" phase of the cell cycle as determined by microfluorometric analysis with DNA binding dyes such as auramin O and pararosaniline-Feulgen. However, injury can initiate cell cycle transverse and histochemical and cytological methods have been used to understand the tissue's response. Classical histochemical studies revealed that increased staining was observed for metabolic (NADase and NADPase) and lysosomal enzymes in cells bordering the wound area. The use of radiolabelled agents has further lead to an understanding of the endothelial wound response. Autoradiographic analyses of 3H-actinomycin D incorporation indicated that injury initiates changes in chromatin leading to increased binding levels of the drug in cells surrounding the wound. This change suggests that those cells undergo heightened macromolecular synthesis and this was confirmed by examining 3H-uridine and 3H-thymidine incorporation. The major mechanism involved in corneal endothelial repair is cell migration. Cytochemical and immunocytochemical investigations have allowed investigators an opportunity to gain some insight into changes that occur during this cellular process.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Agents that exert anabolic effects on bone have generally been tested in young or estrogen-replete animals. It is unclear whether these agents exert similar effects in older ovariectomized (Ovx) animals. In this single study we examined the effects of intermittent (daily) human PTH-(1-34) and continuous infusion of human recombinant IGF-I alone and in combination on bone resorption and formation over a 14 day period in an aged Ovx rat model of postmenopausal osteoporosis (2-year-old rats, Ovx at 1 year). Compared to Ovx controls, PTH treatment increased bone mineral content (BMC) and bone volume and stimulated bone formation but had no effect on bone resorption. In contrast, IGF-I treatment reduced BMC and stimulated resorptive activity as assessed by increases in marrow volume, cortical porosity, osteoclast-positive eroded surfaces, and urinary hydroxyproline excretion. IGF-I had no effect on bone formation, but when combined with PTH, IGF-I blunted the response to PTH on the periosteal and endocortical surfaces. In summary, PTH stimulated bone formation in a manner similar to that observed in younger animals and IGF-I stimulated bone resorption rather than formation and blunted the bone-forming response to PTH. The effects of IGF-I in older Ovx rats may differ from those observed in younger estrogen-replete animals.

Abstract
The presence and biological activity of an Osteoclast Growth Factor (OGF) was investigated in serum-free medium conditioned by periostless fetal rat calvaria in culture. OGF activity was assessed using in vitro systems of fetal rat long bones and adult rat bone marrow cells. Rat calvaria conditioned medium (RCCM) increased the number of osteoclasts in the long bone cultures, partly due to stimulation of progenitor proliferation. RCCM did not exert a direct bone-resorbing activity (45Calcium release assay) on the pre-existing osteoclasts residing in the long bones, but stimulated bone resorption in long term cultures, apparently in an indirect manner by enhancing the number of osteoclasts. In cultures of bone marrow cells isolated from adult rats, RCCM markedly stimulated the formation of mononuclear cells which were positively stained for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). The osteoclastic nature of the cells was confirmed by specific labeling with 125I-calcitonin. Formation of the TRAP-positive cells was significantly inhibited by salmon calcitonin. CM from fetal rat skin cultures did not display a significant OGF activity. Furthermore, unlike the bone marrow cells, peritoneal macrophages did not respond to RCCM and remained devoid of TRAP activity. Neutralization experiments with a specific antibody to GM-CSF indicated that OGF activity in the RCCM could not be ascribed to this hemopoietic growth factor. Secretion of OGF activity was mainly dependent on protein synthesis as addition of cycloheximide to the calvaria cultures significantly inhibited the secretion of OGF into the medium. G3000 HPLC fractionation of RCCM revealed two major OGF peaks with Mr 14,000 and 70,000. Two subsequent reverse-phase HPLC steps using the lower Mr OGF fraction led to a highly purified OGF fraction. The results of this study further provide evidence that bone tissue produces factor(s) which specifically govern the process of osteoclast development, thus providing information about one of the mechanisms controlling bone resorption.
