Abstract
Colony stimulating factor (CSF-1) and its receptor (CSF-1R, product of c-fms proto-oncogene) were initially implicated as essential for normal monocyte development as well as for trophoblastic implantation. However, studies have demonstrated that CSF-1 and CSF-1R have additional roles in mammary gland development during pregnancy and lactation. This apparent role for CSF-1/CSF-1R in normal mammary gland development is very intriguing because this receptor/ligand pair has also been found to be important in the biology of breast cancer in which abnormal expression of CSF-1 and its receptor correlates with tumor cell invasiveness and adverse clinical prognosis. Recent findings also implicate tumor-produced CSF-1 in promotion of bone metastasis in breast cancer, and a certain membrane-associated form of CSF-1 appears to induce immunity against tumors. This review aims to summarize recent findings on the role of CSF-1 and its receptor in normal and neoplastic mammary development that may elucidate potential relationships of growth factor–induced biological changes in the breast during pregnancy and tumor progression.

Abstract
Patients of Alzheimer's disease (AD) frequently have lower bone mineral density and higher rate of hip fracture. Tg2576, a well characterized AD animal model that ubiquitously express Swedish mutant amyloid precursor protein (APPswe), displays not only AD-relevant neuropathology, but also age-dependent bone deficits. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. As APP is implicated as a regulator of iron export, and the metal chelation is considered as a potential therapeutic strategy for AD, we examined iron chelation's effect on the osteoporotic deficit in Tg2576 mice. Remarkably, in vivo treatment with iron chelator, clinoquinol (CQ), increased both trabecular and cortical bone-mass, selectively in Tg2576, but not wild type (WT) mice. Further in vitro studies showed that low concentrations of CQ as well as deferoxamine (DFO), another iron chelator, selectively inhibited osteoclast (OC) differentiation, without an obvious effect on osteoblast (OB) differentiation. Intriguingly, both CQ and DFO's inhibitory effect on OC was more potent in bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) from Tg2576 mice than that of wild type controls. The reduction of intracellular iron levels in BMMs by CQ was also more dramatic in APPswe-expressing BMMs. Taken together, these results demonstrate a potent inhibition on OC formation and activation in APPswe-expressing BMMs by iron chelation, and reveal a potential therapeutic value of CQ in treating AD-associated osteoporotic deficits.

Abstract
Cytokines and metabolic pathway-controlling enzymes regulate immune responses and have potential as powerful tools to mediate immune tolerance. Blockade of the interaction between CD40 and CD40L induces long-term cardiac allograft survival in rats through a CD8+CD45RClo Treg potentiation. Here, we have shown that the cytokine IL-34, the immunoregulatory properties of which have not been previously studied in transplantation or T cell biology, is expressed by rodent CD8+CD45RClo Tregs and human FOXP3+CD45RCloCD8+ and CD4+ Tregs. IL-34 was involved in the suppressive function of both CD8+ and CD4+ Tregs and markedly inhibited alloreactive immune responses. Additionally, in a rat cardiac allograft model, IL-34 potently induced transplant tolerance that was associated with a total inhibition of alloantibody production. Treatment of rats with IL-34 promoted allograft tolerance that was mediated by induction of CD8+ and CD4+ Tregs. Moreover, these Tregs were capable of serial tolerance induction through modulation of macrophages that migrate early to the graft. Finally, we demonstrated that human macrophages cultured in the presence of IL-34 greatly expanded CD8+ and CD4+ FOXP3+ Tregs, with a superior suppressive potential of antidonor immune responses compared with non-IL-34-expanded Tregs. In conclusion, we reveal that IL-34 serves as a suppressive Treg-specific cytokine and as a tolerogenic cytokine that efficiently inhibits alloreactive immune responses and mediates transplant tolerance.

Abstract
Gaucher disease (GD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA), which encodes the lysosomal enzyme glucosylceramidase (GCase). Deficiency in GCase leads to characteristic visceral pathology and lethal neurological manifestations in some patients. Investigations into neurogenesis have suggested that neurodegenerative disorders, such as GD, could be overcome or at least ameliorated by the generation of new neurons. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are potential candidates for use in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders because of their ability to promote neurogenesis. Our objective was to examine the mechanism of neurogenesis by BM-MSCs in GD. We found that neural stem cells (NSCs) derived from a neuronopathic GD model exhibited decreased ability for self-renewal and neuronal differentiation. Co-culture of GBA-deficient NSCs with BM-MSCs resulted in an enhanced capacity for self-renewal, and an increased ability for differentiation into neurons or oligodendrocytes. Enhanced proliferation and neuronal differentiation of GBA-deficient NSCs was associated with elevated release of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) from BM-MSCs. Our findings suggest that soluble M-CSF derived from BM-MSCs can modulate GBA-deficient NSCs, resulting in their improved proliferation and neuronal differentiation.

Abstract
Bone erosion is a sign of severe rheumatoid arthritis and osteoclasts play a major role in the bone resorption. Recently, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) has been reported to be increased in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). The number of circulating MDSCs is shown to correlate with rheumatoid arthritis. These findings suggest that MDSCs are precursor cells involved in bone erosion. In this study, MDSCs isolated from mice with CIA stimulated with M-CSF and RANKL in vitro expressed osteoclast markers and acquired osteoclast bone resorption function. MDSCs sorted from CIA mice were transferred into the tibia of normal DBA/1J mice and bones were subjected to histological and Micro CT analyses. The transferred CIA-MDSCs were shown to differentiate into TRAP(+) osteoclasts that were capable of bone resorption in vivo. MDSCs isolated from normal mice had more potent suppressor activity and much less capability to differentiate to osteoclast. Additional experiments showed that NF-κB inhibitor Bay 11-7082 or IκB inhibitor peptide blocked the differentiation of MDSCs to osteoclast and bone resorption. IL-1Ra also blocked this differentiation. In contrast, the addition of IL-1α further enhanced osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. These results suggest that MDSCs are a source of osteoclast precursors and inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, contributing significantly to erosive changes seen in rheumatoid arthritis and related disorders.

Abstract
Tissue homeostasis requires a complete repertoire of functional macrophages in peripheral tissues. Recent evidence indicates that many resident tissue macrophages are seeded during embryonic development and persist through adulthood as a consequence of localized proliferation. Mononuclear phagocytes are also produced during adult hematopoiesis; these cells are then recruited to sites throughout the body, where they function in tissue repair and remodeling, resolution of inflammation, maintenance of homeostasis, and disease progression. The focus of this review is on mononuclear phagocytes that comprise the nonresident monocyte/macrophage populations in the body. Key features of monocyte differentiation are presented, focusing primarily on the developmental hierarchy that is established through this process, the markers used to identify discrete cell populations, and novel, functional attributes of these cells. These features are then explored in the context of the tumor microenvironment, where mononuclear phagocytes exhibit extensive plasticity in phenotype and function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) extracted from Porphyromonas endodontalis (Pe) on the expression of macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) mRNA and protein in MC3T3-E1 cells and the role of nucler factor-κB (NF-κB) in the process. METHODS MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with different concentrations of Pe-LPS (0-50 mg/L) and 10 mg/L Pe-LPS for different hours (0-24 h). The expression of M-CSF mRNA and protein was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunoadsordent assay (ELISA). The cells untreated by Pe-LPS served as control. The expression of M- CSF mRNA and protein was also detected in 10 mg/L Pe- LPS treated MC3T3-E1 cells after pretreated with BAY 11-7082 for 1 h, a special NF-κB inhibitor. The groups were divided as follows, control group, BAY group (10 µmol/L BAY 11-7082 treated alone MC3T3-E1 cells), Pe-LPS group (10 mg/L Pe-LPS stimulated MC3T3-E1 cells for 6 h), BAY combine with Pe-LPS group (10 µmol/L BAY 11-7082 pretreated cells for 1 h and 10 mg/L of Pe-LPS stimulated MC3T3-E1 cells for 6 h). RESULTS The level of M- CSF mRNA and protein increased significantly after treatment with different concentrations of Pe-LPS (0-50 mg/L), which indicated that Pe-LPS induced osteoblasts to express M-CSF mRNA and protein in dose dependent manners. The expression of M-CSF protein increased from (35 ± 2) ng/L (control group) to (170 ± 8) ng/L (50 mg/L group). Maximal induction of M-CSF mRNA expression was found in the MC3T3- E1 cells treated with 10 mg/L Pe-LPS for 6 h. After 6 h, the expression of M-CSF mRNA decreased gradually. The expression of M-CSF protein also increased with the treatment of 10 mg/L Pe-LPS for 10 h [(122 ± 4) ng/L]. After 10 h, the expression of M-CSF protein decreased gradually. The mRNA and proteins of M-CSF decreased significantly after pretreatment with 10 µmol/L BAY 11-7082 for 1 h. There was no significant difference between BAY group and the control. CONCLUSIONS Pe-LPS may induce the expression of M-CSF mRNA and protein in MC3T3-E1 cells through the signaling of NF-κB.

Abstract
ROS are implicated in bone diseases. NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4), a constitutively active enzymatic source of ROS, may contribute to the development of such disorders. Therefore, we studied the role of NOX4 in bone homeostasis. Nox4(-/-) mice displayed higher bone density and reduced numbers and markers of osteoclasts. Ex vivo, differentiation of monocytes into osteoclasts with RANKL and M-CSF induced Nox4 expression. Loss of NOX4 activity attenuated osteoclastogenesis, which was accompanied by impaired activation of RANKL-induced NFATc1 and c-JUN. In an in vivo model of murine ovariectomy–induced osteoporosis, pharmacological inhibition or acute genetic knockdown of Nox4 mitigated loss of trabecular bone. Human bone obtained from patients with increased osteoclast activity exhibited increased NOX4 expression. Moreover, a SNP of NOX4 was associated with elevated circulating markers of bone turnover and reduced bone density in women. Thus, NOX4 is involved in bone loss and represents a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation including autoimmune disease is an important risk factor for the development of osteoporosis. Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) play a central role in osteoclast differentiation and function, and the molecular pathways by which M-CSF and RANKL induce osteoclast differentiation have been analyzed in detail. Proinflammatory cytokines directly or indirectly regulate osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption providing a link between inflammation and osteoporosis. Tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and IL-17 are the most important proinflammatory cytokines triggering inflammatory bone loss. Inhibition of these cytokines has provided potent therapeutic effects in the treatment of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Further investigation is needed to understand the pathophysiology and to develop new strategies to treat inflammatory bone loss. This review summarizes new data on inflammatory bone loss obtained in 2011.

Abstract
Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) promotes mononuclear phagocyte survival and proliferation. The transcription factor Nuclear Factor-kappaB (NF-κB) is a key regulator of genes involved in M-CSF-induced mononuclear phagocyte survival and this study focused at identifying the mechanism of NF-κB transcriptional activation. Here, we demonstrate that M-CSF stimulated NF-κB transcriptional activity in human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) and the murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. The general protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor Ro-31-8220, the conventional PKCα/β inhibitor Gö-6976, overexpression of dominant negative PKCα constructs and PKCα siRNA reduced NF-κB activity in response to M-CSF. Interestingly, Ro-31-8220 reduced Ser276 phosphorylation of NF-κBp65 leading to decreased M-CSF-induced monocyte survival. In this report, we identify conventional PKCs, including PKCα as important upstream kinases for M-CSF-induced NF-κB transcriptional activation, NF-κB-regulated gene expression, NF-κB p65 Ser276 phosphorylation, and macrophage survival. Lastly, we find that NF-κB p65 Ser276 plays an important role in basal and M-CSF-stimulated NF-κB activation in human mononuclear phagocytes.

Abstract
We examined the role of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF)-dependent macrophages in the healing of gastric ulcers in mice. Male M-CSF-deficient (op/op) and M-CSF-expressing heterozygote (+/?) mice were used. Gastric ulcers were induced by thermal cauterization under ether anesthesia, and healing was observed for 14 days after ulceration. The numbers of macrophages and microvessels in the gastric mucosa were determined immunohistochemically with anti-CD68 and anti-CD31 antibodies, respectively. Expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA was determined via real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the mucosal content of prostaglandin (PG) E(2) was determined via enzyme immunoassay on day 10 after ulceration. The healing of gastric ulcers was significantly delayed in op/op mice compared with +/? mice. Further, significantly fewer macrophages were observed in the normal gastric mucosa of op/op mice than in +/? mice. Ulcer induction caused a marked accumulation of macrophages around the ulcer base in +/? mice, but this response was attenuated in op/op mice. The mucosal PGE(2) content as well as the expression of COX-2, VEGF, and TNF-α mRNA were all upregulated in the ulcerated area of +/? mice but significantly suppressed in op/op mice. The degree of vascularization in the ulcerated area was significantly lower in op/op mice than in +/? mice. Taken together, these results suggest that M-CSF-dependent macrophages play an important role in the healing of gastric ulcers, and that this action may be associated with angiogenesis promoted by upregulation of COX-2/PGE(2) production.

Abstract
The role of the small Rho GTPase Rac2 in mature osteoclasts has not been extensively studied. Rac2(-/-) mice are of normal size and have normal tooth eruption. However, femoral cortical thickness was significantly greater in Rac2(-/-) compared to wild-type mice, while percent cortical porosity was lower. As assessed by histomorphometry, trabecular bone mass was significantly higher in male Rac2(-/-) than wild-type animals, although trabecular bone mass was similar when data from male and female animals were combined. There were no significant differences in the number of osteoblasts per bone surface; however, the number of osteoclasts per total bone area tended to be higher in Rac2(-/-) mice and was significantly higher in male Rac2(-/-) mice. In the aggregate, these data suggested a defect in osteoclast function and, consistent with that, rates of bone resorption were significantly reduced in Rac2(-/-) osteoclasts. In addition, Rac2(-/-) osteoclasts had a significantly delayed spreading response to treatment with CSF1 for 15 min. Phalloidin staining showed areas of abnormal actin accumulation and impaired actin ring formation in Rac2(-/-) osteoclasts. Finally, Rac2(-/-) osteoclasts showed a marked defect in chemotaxis toward a point source of CSF1, with a dramatic reduction in migratory rate. Together, these findings indicate an important role for Rac2 in mature osteoclasts.

Abstract
Ovariectomy (OVX)-induced estrogen withdrawal resulted in both bone loss and an increase in fat. We observed elevated osteoclast (OC) formation by bone marrow-derived macrophages treated with medium conditioned by fats from OVX mice, but not from sham-operated mice. Fats from OVX mice expressed and secreted higher levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) than those from sham-operated mice. Increased fat resulting from estrogen deficiency is thus responsible for bone loss due to enhanced OC formation, which is, at least partly, a consequence of elevated MCP-1 production.

Abstract
Background M-CSF recruits mononuclear phagocytes which regulate processes such as angiogenesis and metastases in tumors. VEGF is a potent activator of angiogenesis as it promotes endothelial cell proliferation and new blood vessel formation. Previously, we reported that in vitro M-CSF induces the expression of biologically-active VEGF from human monocytes. Methodology and Results In this study, we demonstrate the molecular mechanism of M-CSF-induced VEGF production. Using a construct containing the VEGF promoter linked to a luciferase reporter, we found that a mutation reducing HIF binding to the VEGF promoter had no significant effect on luciferase production induced by M-CSF stimulation. Further analysis revealed that M-CSF induced VEGF through the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway via the transcription factor, Sp1. Thus, inhibition of either ERK or Sp1 suppressed M-CSF-induced VEGF at the mRNA and protein level. M-CSF also induced the nuclear localization of Sp1, which was blocked by ERK inhibition. Finally, mutating the Sp1 binding sites within the VEGF promoter or inhibiting ERK decreased VEGF promoter activity in M-CSF-treated human monocytes. To evaluate the biological significance of M-CSF induced VEGF production, we used an in vivo angiogenesis model to illustrate the ability of M-CSF to recruit mononuclear phagocytes, increase VEGF levels, and enhance angiogenesis. Importantly, the addition of a neutralizing VEGF antibody abolished M-CSF-induced blood vessel formation. Conclusion These data delineate an ERK- and Sp1-dependent mechanism of M-CSF induced VEGF production and demonstrate for the first time the ability of M-CSF to induce angiogenesis via VEGF in vivo.

Abstract
The osteoclast is a hematopoietic cell derived from CFU-GM and branches from the monocyte-macrophage lineage during the differentiation process. Biological environment appears to be crucial for osteoclast formation and activity. It has been reported that bone remodeling following implant placement requires a coordinated activity by osteoclasts and osteoblasts. The response of such cells at the bone-implant interface has been suggested to be affected by the structural and morphological features of the biomaterial surface. To shed more light on this topic we performed a multiparametric analysis of murine monocytes response to different titanium surfaces. These cells, RAW 264.7 type TIB-71, represent a very useful system because they differentiate into osteoclasts following treatment of definite doses of the osteoclast-differentiation factor RANKL and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). Cells, cultured on glass (control), on grade 3 machined and on titanium pull-spray superficial-TPSS surfaces disclosed profound different responses in terms of morphological rearrangements, adhesion, and differentiation abilities. Indeed, after 14 days, cells cultured on glass and machined surfaces were uniformly distributed, while, on the TPSS surface cells strictly aggregated into small isolated clusters were observed. In addition, cells cultured on the machined surface displayed a higher adhesion ability, while cells cultured on the rougher surface disclosed a more evident capability to differentiate. These results could explain the higher bone-implant contact percentage found around implants with rougher surfaces and suggest that osteoclasts may play an important role in the initial period after implant placement to prime or prepare the implant surface for the osteoblast activity.

Abstract
The proliferative effects of colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1) on macrophages are exerted only throughout the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Genetic targets of the delayed early response to CSF-1 include novel G1 cyclin (CYL or cyclin D) genes. In macrophages, cyclin D1 is induced early in G1 and is expressed throughout the cell cycle as long as CSF-1 is present. The cyclin D1 protein turns over rapidly in CSF-1-stimulated cells and its level declines precipitously upon CSF-1 withdrawal. Cyclin D2 is induced later in G1 and its expression is periodic, whereas cyclin D3 is not expressed in macrophages but is regulated by growth factors in other cell types. The cyclin D1 protein associates during G1 with a polypeptide antigenically related to p34cdc2 and binds in vitro to a histone H1 kinase present in lysates of CSF-1-starved macrophages. The instability of the cyclin D1 protein and its ability to rescue a cyclin-dependent kinase activity from growth factor-deprived macrophages together suggest that the cyclin D protein is the dynamic partner in the complex. The timing of expression of cyclin D genes suggests that they act to link growth factor signals with cell cycle transitions during G1.

Abstract
Hyperlipidemias and small dense LDLs in patients with high-triglyceride low-HDL syndromes lead to a prolonged half life of apoB-containing particles. This is associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) activation and leads to formation of oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL). Generators of ROS in macrophages (MACs) include myeloperoxidase (MPO)-mediated respiratory burst and raft-associated NADPH-oxidase. The intracellular oxidant milieu is involved in cellular signaling pathways, like ion-transport systems, protein phosphorylation, and gene expression. Lipid oxidation through ROS can amplify foam cell formation through Ox-LDL uptake, leading to formation of ceramide (Cer)-rich lipid membrane microdomains, and is associated with expansion of the lysosomal compartment and an upregulation of ABCA1 and other genes of the AP3 secretory pathway. Ox-LDL may also affect cell-surface turnover of Cer-backbone sphingolipids and apoE-mediated uptake by LRP-family members. In contrast, HDL-mediated lipid efflux causes disruption of lipid membrane microdomains and prevents foam cell formation. Oxidation of HDL through MPO leads to a failure of lipid efflux and enhancement of MAC loading. Therefore, lipid rafts and oxidation processes are important in regulation of MAC foam cell formation and atherosclerosis, and the balance between oxidant and antioxidant intracellular systems is critically important for efficient MAC function.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that monocytes are the dominant effectors by which rituximab induces cell death in B-cell lymphoma. Because macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) can enhance the cytotoxicity of monocytes, the authors examined whether this growth factor can enhance their ability to kill lymphoma cells in vitro. Monocytes derived from a healthy volunteer were cultured for 48 h in the presence or absence of M-CSF. Monocytes stimul ated with M-CSF were significantly more cytotoxic to Daudi B-cell lymphomas than unstimulated monocytes. Flow cytometry revealed that M-CSF increased monocyte expression of Fcgamma receptors III and I by 1.6- and 1.5-fold, whereas the expression of Fcgamma receptor II remained unchanged. These results suggest that pretreatment with M-CSF can improve the therapeutic efficacy of rituximab against intractable CD20(+) lymphoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a major reproductive health issue, whose underlying causes remain largely unknown. The unusual macrophage presence in the oviduct affected by EP could indicate macrophage contribution to the pathology. METHODS Macrophages have important functions in reproduction that are reviewed in this work. They are needed for tissue remodelling and immune-regulatory roles, and are present both in the ovary and uterus. Numerous cytokines regulate monocytes recruitment, differentiation and function in the reproductive tract, among them leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF), colony-stimulating factor 1 and transforming growth factor-beta are indispensable and non-redundant for reproductive outcome. Cytokine types and levels are modulated by estrogen, progesterone and seminal plasma, which drive the differentiation of monocytes to immunity cells or to immunosuppressed trophic and scavenging macrophages. RESULTS Many risk factors for EP involve an inflammatory reaction that can induce the release of mononuclear phagocytes from the bone marrow and/or favour immunosuppressed trophic differentiation of newly recruited mononuclear phagocytes in the reproductive tract. These observations strengthen the hypothesis that immunosuppressed trophic and scavenging macrophages may have a role in EP onset. CONCLUSIONS Macrophages may contribute to the regulation of tubal motility through prostaglandin production and induction of progesterone secretion. Considerations about LIF also suggest that macrophages may have a central role in ectopic receptivity.

Abstract
Bone resorption by osteoclasts is necessary to maintain bone homeostasis. Osteoclast differentiation from hematopoietic progenitors and their activation depend on M-CSF and RANKL, but also requires co-stimulatory signals acting through receptors associated with DAP12 and FcRgamma adaptors. Dap12 mutant mice (KDelta75) are osteopetrotic due to inactive osteoclasts but, surprisingly, these mice are more sensitive than WT mice to bone loss following an ovariectomy. Because estrogen withdrawal is known to disturb bone mass, at least in part, through lymphocyte interaction, we looked at the role of mature lymphocytes on osteoclastogenesis and bone mass in the absence of functional DAP12. Lymphocytes were found to stimulate an early osteoclast differentiation response from Dap12-deficient progenitors in vitro. In vivo, Rag1-/- mice lacking mature lymphocytes did not exhibit any bone phenotype, but lost their bone mass after ovariectomy like KDelta75 mice. KDelta75;Rag1-/- double mutant female mice exhibited a more severe osteopetrosis than Dap12-deficient animals but lost their bone mass after ovariectomy, like single mutants. These results suggest that both DAP12 and mature lymphocytes act synergistically to maintain bone mass under physiological conditions, while playing similar but not synergistic co-stimulatory roles in protecting bone loss after gonadal failure. Thus, our data support a role for lymphocytes during osteoclast differentiation and suggest that they may function as accessory cells when regular osteoclast function is compromised.

Abstract
The cytokine colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) is a key regulator of the proliferation, differentiation and activation of mononuclear phagocytes. CSF-1 also plays an important role in reproduction. CSF-1 is produced in the placenta and activates signal transduction pathways that significantly increase the proliferation of placental trophoblast cells in culture. The target genes activated by CSF-1 mediated signal transduction in the nucleus are not well understood. Here, we use placental trophoblast cells to investigate potential downstream effector genes of CSF-1. HLX1 is a homeobox gene that controls proliferation in embryonic cell types and haematopoietic cell lineages. We have shown HLX1 is expressed in placental trophoblast cells but its functional role in the placenta is unknown. Following CSF-1 stimulation, HLX1 mRNA expression was significantly increased in SGHPL-4 and HTR-8/SVNeo cultured trophoblast cells (p<0.001, n=3). siRNA-mediated reduction of HLX1 mRNA levels with four independent oligonucleotides (siRNAs) resulted in significantly decreased cell proliferation in both cell lines (p<0.001, n=4). When HLX1 mRNA levels were reduced in the presence of CSF-1 stimulation, proliferation remained significantly decreased (p<0.001, n=4) in both the cell lines. We have shown for the first time that a homeobox gene, HLX1, is a downstream effector gene of CSF-1, that HLX1 regulates placental cell proliferation and that CSF-1 acts, at least in part, through HLX1 to control cell proliferation.

Abstract
An inflammatory process in the central nervous system (CNS) is believed to play an important role in the pathway leading to neuronal cell death in a number of neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, prion diseases, multiple sclerosis and HIV-dementia. The inflammatory response is mediated by the activated microglia, the resident immune cells of the CNS, which normally respond to neuronal damage and remove the damaged cells by phagocytosis. Activation of microglia is a hallmark of brain pathology. However, it remains controversial whether microglial cells have beneficial or detrimental functions in various neuropathological conditions. The chronic activation of microglia may in turn cause neuronal damage through the release of potentially cytotoxic molecules such as proinflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen intermediates, proteinases and complement proteins. Therefore, suppression of microglia-mediated inflammation has been considered as an important strategy in neurodegenerative disease therapy. Several anti-inflammatory drugs of various chemical ingredients have been shown to repress the microglial activation and to exert neuroprotective effects in the CNS following different types of injuries. However, the molecular mechanisms by which these effects occur remain unclear. In recent years, several research groups including ours have attempted to explain the potential mechanisms and signaling pathways for the repressive effect of various drugs, on activation of microglial cells in CNS injury. We provide here a comprehensive review of recent findings of mechanisms and signaling pathways by which microglial cells are activated in CNS inflammatory diseases. This review article further summarizes the role of microglial cells in neurodegenerative diseases and various forms of potential therapeutic options to inhibit the microglial activation which amplifies the inflammation-related neuronal injury in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Renal disease is the major cause of morbidity in patients with lupus. MRL-Fas(lpr) mice share features with human lupus. The tempo, predictability, and homogeneous expression of disease in MRL-Fas(lpr) mice make them an excellent tool to probe the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis and to identify therapeutic targets. This article focuses on the concepts that renal parenchymal cells are active participants that regulate immune responses in the kidney, and that the interaction between parenchymal cells and leukocytes (macrophages, T cells) determine whether the kidney is protected or destroyed during lupus nephritis. In particular we review the role of macrophages, fueled by the principal macrophage developmental molecule, colony stimulating factor-1, in lupus nephritis, and we review T cells and costimulatory pathways and the interaction of these leukocytes with renal parenchymal cells that regulate lupus nephritis.

Abstract
Osteoclast in the synovium of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) plays an important role for bone destruction of the affected joints. The osteoclast is differentiated from macrophage-like synoviocyte, which is migrated from peripheral blood monocytes. In the RA synovium, receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) which is expressed by T cells and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) which is expressed by FLS induce the differentiation into osteoclast from macrophage-like synoviocyte. TNF-alpha, interleukin (IL) -1, IL-6, and IL-17 which are expressed by macrophages, FLS, and/or T cells in the synovium enhance the differentiation and activation of the osteoclast. Thus, such synovial cells contribute osteoclastgenesis and bone destruction.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells of monocyte/macrophage origin that degrade bone matrix. The differentiation of osteoclasts is dependent on a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family cytokine, receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB ligand (RANKL), as well as macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). Congenital lack of osteoclasts causes osteopetrosis, investigation of which has provided insights into the essential molecules for osteoclastogenesis, including TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF) 6, NF-kappaB and c-Fos. In addition, genome-wide screening techniques have shed light on an additional set of gene products such as nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) c1. Here we summarize the efforts to understand the sequential molecular events induced by RANKL during osteoclast differentiation. RANKL binds to its receptor RANK, which recruits adaptor molecules such as TRAF6. TRAF6 activates NF-kappaB, which is important for the initial induction of NFATc1. NFATc1 is activated by calcium signaling and binds to its own promoter, thus switching on an autoregulatory loop. An activator protein (AP)-1 complex containing c-Fos is required for the autoamplification of NFATc1, enabling the robust induction of NFATc1. Finally, NFATc1 cooperates with other transcriptional partners to activate osteoclast-specific genes. NFATc1 autoregulation is controlled by an epigenetic mechanism, which has profound implications for an understanding of the general mechanism of irreversible cell fate determination. From the clinical point of view, RANKL signaling pathway has promise as a strategy for suppressing the excessive osteoclast formation characteristic of a variety of bone diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is typically characterized by an inflammatory cell infiltrate and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Of particular interest, the frequency of colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-l)-expressing cells is increased in active lesions. In this study, we have investigated the role of CSF-1 in mucosal inflammation, using a murine model of colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). METHODS A neutralizing anti-CSF-1 antibody was administered to Balb/c mice that received DSS in their drinking water. Signs of colitis, such as clinical disease score, cellular infiltrate, and cytokine production, were assessed. RESULTS Administration of a neutralizing anti-CSF-1 antibody significantly inhibited DSS-induced colitis. Clinical symptoms, such as weight loss and the appearance of diarrhea or fecal blood, were reduced by CSF-1 blockade; histologic scores were also improved. The cellular infiltrate of macrophages and T cells was inhibited and a trend toward reduced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines was noted. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to demonstrate that CSF-1 plays an important role in mediating intestinal mucosal inflammation and therefore may prove to be an attractive therapeutic target for intestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
The maintenance of bone is achieved by a fine balance between bone formation and bone resorption. The differentiation and activation of osteoclasts are tightly regulated by osteoblasts. Osteoblasts express at least two cytokines essential for osteoclast differentiation; they are receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF). On the other hand, differentiation of osteoblasts is regulated by the transcription factors Runx2 and Osterix. The recent progress of genetic experiments has revealed that osteoclasts also regulate the differentiation of osteblasts in vivo. This review describes the recent studies on the communication between osteoblasts and osteoclasts in the process of bone remodeling.

Abstract
Osteoclasts arise from macrophage progenitors in bone marrow (BMMs) as a consequence of signaling events elicited by M-CSF and receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand, acting on their unique receptors, via c-Fms and receptor activator of NF-kappaB. Both receptors activate the PI3K and MAPK pathways, which promote cell proliferation and survival. SHIP1 is essential for normal bone homeostasis, as mice lacking the protein exhibit osteoporosis resulting from increased numbers of hyper-resorptive osteoclasts. In this study, we show that BMMs from SHIP1 null mice respond to M-CSF, but not receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand, by increasing Akt activation. In consequence, there are up-regulation of D-type cyclins, down-regulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27, and, therefore, increased phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein and cell proliferation. Surprisingly, cell survival of wild-type and knockout BMMs is unaltered. Finally, osteoclastogenesis and periarticular bone erosions are markedly increased in SHIP1(-/-) mice with inflammatory arthritis, a condition characterized by increased M-CSF expression. The SHIP1/Akt pathway therefore suppresses bone loss in pathological states associated with an excess of the cytokine.

Abstract
Although the critical role of M-CSF in osteoclastogenesis is well documented, there has been no detailed analysis of how it regulates human osteoclast formation and function in vitro. We used a human osteoclastogenesis model employing CFU-GM osteoclast precursors cultured for 14 days on dentine with RANKL, with varying exposure to exogenous human M-CSF. Short-term treatment of precursors with M-CSF (10-100 ng/mL) resulted in increased proliferation with or without RANKL. Treatment with M-CSF (1-100 ng/mL) for 14 days caused a biphasic concentration-dependent stimulation of formation, fusion, and resorption peaking at 10-50 ng/mL and almost complete abolition of resorption at 100 ng/mL. Time-course studies using M-CSF (25 ng/mL) showed that osteoclast size, nuclei/cell, and resorption increased with longer duration of M-CSF treatment. When treatment was restricted to the first 4 days, M-CSF (25-100 ng/mL) stimulated formation of normal numbers of osteoclasts that resorbed less. Blockade of endogenous M-CSF signaling with neutralizing M-CSF antibody during the first week of culture extensively inhibited osteoclastogenesis, whereas blockade during the second week produced only a small reduction in resorption. Treatment with M-CSF during the second week of culture caused a small increase in osteoclast number and a concentration-dependent increase in cytoplasmic spreading with inhibition of resorption. We have shown that M-CSF modulates multiple steps of human osteoclastogenesis, including proliferation, differentiation and fusion of precursors. In the later stages of osteoclastogenesis, M-CSF modulates osteoclast-resorbing activity, but is not required for survival. Modulation of M-CSF signaling is a potential therapeutic target for conditions associated with excess bone resorption.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The osteoclast is the principal bone-resorbing cell. Because of its unique ability to efficiently remove both the mineral and the organic matrix of bone, the osteoclast is an important element of the homeostatic mechanisms that maintain skeletal integrity and serum calcium levels. Over the past 30 years, a number of immune cell modulators have been shown to have effects on osteoclast formation and function. This review will briefly summarize the roles that cytokines have in osteoclast regulation. RECENT FINDINGS A large number of cytokines have been shown to regulate osteoclast formation and function. In addition, a number of additional cytokines are now known to have a major influence on the ability of osteoclasts to resorb bone. Interactions of the immune system with bone, which has been recently labeled 'osteoimmunology', appear to be mediated mainly by cytokine signals. Cytokines are known to regulate many of the responses of bone to inflammatory conditions; however, they also may regulate physiologic responses of bone. SUMMARY In the future it is hoped that therapies that target cytokine actions may be used to reduce the effects of inflammatory diseases on bone, as well as to regulate normal bone physiology.

Abstract
CSF-1, the major regulator of macrophage (Mphi) development, has three biologically active isoforms: a membrane-spanning, cell surface glycoprotein, a secreted glycoprotein, and a secreted proteoglycan. We hypothesized that there are shared and unique roles of individual CSF-1 isoforms during renal inflammation. To test this, we evaluated transgenic mice only expressing the cell surface or precursors of the secreted CSF-1 isoforms for Mphi accumulation, activation, and Mphi-mediated tubular epithelial cell (TEC) apoptosis during unilateral ureteral obstruction. The only difference between secreted proteoglycan and secreted glycoprotein CSF-1 isoforms is the presence (proteoglycan) or absence (glycoprotein) of an 18-kDa chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan. We report that 1) cell surface CSF-1 isoform is sufficient to restore Mphi accumulation, activation, and TEC apoptosis to wild-type levels and is substantially more effective than the secreted CSF-1 isoforms; 2) the chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan facilitates Mphi accumulation, activation, and TEC apoptosis; 3) increasing the level of secreted proteoglycan CSF-1 in serum amplifies renal inflammation; and 4) cell-cell contact is required for Mphi to up-regulate CSF-1-dependent expression of IFN-gamma. Taken together, we have identified central roles for the cell surface CSF-1 and the chondroitin sulfate chain on secreted proteoglycan CSF-1 during renal inflammation.

Abstract
M-CSF induces PI 3-kinase activation, resulting in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Previously, we reported that ROS mediate macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF)-induced extracellular regulated kinase (Erk) activation and monocyte survival. In this work, we hypothesized that M-CSF-stimulated ROS products modulated Akt1 and p38 activation. Furthermore, we sought to clarify the source of these ROS and the role of ROS and Akt in monocyte/macrophage survival. Macrophages from p47(phox-/-) mice, lacking a key component of the NADPH oxidase complex required for ROS generation, had reduced cell survival and Akt1 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation compared with wild-type macrophages in response to M-CSF stimulation, but had no difference in M-CSF-stimulated Erk. To understand how ROS affected monocyte survival and signaling, we observed that NAC and DPI decreased cell survival and Akt1 and p38 MAPK phosphorylation. Using bone marrow-derived macrophages from mice expressing constitutively activated Akt1 (Myr-Akt1) or transfecting Myr-Akt1 constructs into human peripheral monocytes, we concluded that Akt is a positive regulator of monocyte survival. Moreover, the p38 MAPK inhibitor, SB203580, inhibited p38 activity and M-CSF-induced monocyte survival. These findings demonstrate that ROS generated from the NADPH oxidase complex contribute to monocyte/macrophage survival induced by M-CSF via regulation of Akt and p38 MAPK.

Abstract
Prevention of conditions, such as osteoporosis, requires an understanding of the molecular mechanisms of bone resorption. The understanding that cells of the myeloid lineage are osteoclast precursors suggests that macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) plays an important role in osteoclast biology. Signals generated by the binding of M-CSF to the cell-surface receptor c-Fms appear to trigger events leading to osteoclast differentiation. We have created a chimeric variant of the c-Fms receptor, which has allowed study of downstream events activated by M-CSF in a model more relevant to normal physiology than prior studies, which have relied on myeloid tissues. Our studies suggest novel regulatory signaling pathways initiated via the c-Fms receptor.

Abstract
CSF-1 regulates macrophage differentiation, survival, and function, and is an attractive therapeutic target for chronic inflammation and malignant diseases. Here we describe the effects of a potent and selective inhibitor of CSF-1R-CYC10268-on CSF-1R-dependent signaling. In in vitro kinase assays, CYC10268 was active in the low nanomolar range and showed selectivity over other kinases such as Abl and Kit. CYC10268 blocked survival mediated by CSF-1R in primary murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) and in the factor-dependent cell line Ba/F3, in which the CSF-1R was ectopically expressed. CYC10268 also inhibited CSF-1 regulated signaling (Akt, ERK-1/2), gene expression (urokinase plasminogen activator, toll-like receptor 9, and apolipoprotein E), and priming of LPS-inducible cytokine production in BMM. In thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages (TEPM), which survive in the absence of exogenous CSF-1, CYC10268 impaired LPS-induced cytokine production and regulated expression of known CSF-1 target genes. These observations support the conclusion that TEPM are CSF-1 autocrine and that CSF-1 plays a central role in macrophage effector functions during inflammation. CSF-1R inhibitors such as CYC10268 provide a powerful tool to dissect the role of the CSF-1/CSF-1R signaling system in a range of biological systems and have potential for a number of therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Macrophages are key regulators of immune responses. In the absence of an activating signal, murine bone marrow-derived macrophages undergo proliferation in response to their specific growth factor, namely M-CSF. The addition of bacterial LPS results in macrophage growth arrest and their engagement in a proinflammatory response. Although participation of ERKs is required for both macrophage proliferation and activation, ERK phosphorylation follows a more delayed pattern in response to activating agents. In primary macrophages, mitogen kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) is a key regulator of the time course of MAPK activity. Here we showed that MKP-1 expression is dependent on Raf-1 activation. The time course of Raf-1 activation correlated with that of ERK-1/2. However, whereas ERK phosphorylation in response to M-CSF is Raf-1 dependent, in response to LPS, an alternative pathway directs the activation of these kinases. Inhibition of Raf-1 activity increased the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors and growth arrest. In contrast, no effect was observed in the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and inducible NO synthase following LPS stimulation. The data reported here reveal new insights into how signaling determines opposing macrophage functions.

Abstract
Implantation of the blastocyst into the endometrium is a delicately controlled process and a prerequisite for the furtherance of the mammalian species. A complex network of molecules is involved in preparing both the endometrium and blastocyst for a successful interaction. However, the exact molecular steps are poorly understood. Studies so far have shown that disruption of certain pathways results in fertility defects. Impaired implantation is currently considered to be the most important limiting factor for the establishment of viable pregnancies in assisted reproduction. It is expected that elucidating the molecular background of the process will enable accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of infertility.

Abstract
Osteoclast differentiation is tightly regulated by osteoblasts. Osteoblasts express two cytokines, macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL), essential for osteoclast differentiation. Osteoclast precursors firstly differentiate into mononuclear osteoclasts in response to M-CSF and RANKL. Nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1) is a transcription factor, which is involved in the determination of osteoclast differentiation. The mononuclear osteoclast then fuses each other to form the multinucleated cell. Dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP) plays an important role in the fusion of mononuclear osteoclasts. Osteoclasts recognize bone and form ruffled borders and clear zones on the bone surface (polarization). Polarizing osteoclasts construct active vascular transportation systems to resorb bone efficiently. RANK-TRAF6 (TNF receptor-associated factor 6) -mediated signals key roles in both osteoclast differentiation and function. In this article, I will review the recent findings on osteoclast differentiation and function.

Abstract
The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that has multiple ligands and is implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including diabetic complications, neurodegenerative disorders, and inflammatory responses. However, the role of RAGE in normal physiology is largely undefined. Here, we present evidence for a role of RAGE in osteoclast maturation and function, which has consequences for bone remodeling. Mice lacking RAGE had increased bone mass and bone mineral density and decreased bone resorptive activity in vivo. In vitro–differentiated RAGE-deficient osteoclasts exhibited disrupted actin ring and sealing zone structures, impaired maturation, and reduced bone resorptive activity. Impaired signaling downstream of αvβ3 integrin was observed in RAGE−/− bone marrow macrophages and precursors of OCs. These results demonstrate a role for RAGE in osteoclast actin cytoskeletal reorganization, adhesion, and function, and suggest that the osteosclerotic-like phenotype observed in RAGE knockout mice is due to a defect in osteoclast function.

Abstract
Recently we reported that macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) can mobilize endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood, resulting in an increase in the number of blood vessels and augmentation of blood flow in the ischemia-induced legs. M-CSF accelerates neovascularization of ischemic lesions resulting from the mobilization of EPCs. In the present paper, we analyze the mechanisms underling the mobilization of EPCs by M-CSF. M-CSF augments the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) from the bone marrow cells, especially from myeloid lineage cells. In vivo administration of anti-VEGF antibody abrogates both the acceleration of the recovery of blood flow in the ischemia-induced limbs by M-CSF and the augmentation of the mobilization of EPCs induced by M-CSF. These results suggest that the M-CSF contributes to rapid recovery of blood flow in ischemic lesions by mobilization of EPCs from the bone marrow through augmentation of VEGF production in the bone marrow and that the VEGF is mainly produced by myeloid lineage cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis is characterized by alveolar bone destruction; however, the mechanisms responsible for bone damage are poorly understood. It has been reported that T cells are implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. It has been also demonstrated that activated T lymphocytes secrete receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) and can support the differentiation of monocytes into resorbing osteoclasts (OCs). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the OC formation in periodontitis patients (PP) and the role of T cells in osteoclastogenesis. METHODS To study OC formation, we used an in vitro model consisting of unstimulated and unfractionated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from PP and controls. In parallel, T-cell-depleted PBMCs from the same patients were also established. The expression of RANKL and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot in fresh T cells isolated from PP and controls. Functional antibodies, anti-RANKL and anti-TNF-alpha, were utilized to study osteoclastogenesis in PBMC cultures from PP. RESULTS We showed that, in unfractionated PBMCs from PP, the OCs spontaneously developed in a T-cell-dependent way. The addition of macrophage colony stimulating factor (MCSF) and RANKL was necessary to promote the osteoclastogenesis in T-cell-depleted PBMC cultures from PP and in unfractionated PBMCs from periodontally healthy controls. Moreover, freshly isolated T cells from PBMCs of PP overexpressed RANKL and TNF-alpha. Finally, functional anti-RANKL and anti-TNF-alpha antibodies significantly inhibited osteoclastogenesis. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that T cells support spontaneous osteoclastogenesis in PP via RANKL and TNF-alpha overexpression.

Abstract
The macrophage colony stimulating factor receptor (cFms) and alpha(V)beta(3) integrin are both abundantly expressed and play critical roles in the differentiation, survival and migration of osteoclasts. We have previously demonstrated that cross-talk between cFms- and alpha(V)beta(3)-mediated signaling pathways regulated the cytoskeletal organization required for osteoclast migration. To investigate the nature of interaction between the two receptors, we sequentially used anion-exchange chromatography and immunoprecipitation to purify alpha(V)beta(3)-associated protein complexes. We have demonstrated that cFms stably associated with alpha(V)beta(3) in osteoclasts during adhesion, and that the association was induced by macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) stimulation. However, the kinetics of association of alpha(V)beta(3) and cFms did not correlate with the kinetics of tyrosine phosphorylation of cFms. Instead, maximally observed alpha(V)beta(3)/cFms association was after the peak of cFms tyrosine phosphorylation and correlated inversely with the total amount of cFms remaining. Furthermore, the complex containing cFms and alpha(V)beta(3) also contained a number of other signaling molecules including Pyk2, p130(Cas) and c-Cbl, known downstream regulators of the integrin-mediated signaling pathways in osteoclasts. In the presence of M-CSF, co-localization of alpha(V)beta(3) integrin and cFms was identified in the podosomal actin ring of the osteoclast during adhesion on glass. Interestingly, co-localization of both receptors was not found in the sealing zone, but in punctate structures associated with adhesion- or transcytosis-like structures in osteoclasts on bone. Taken together, we suggest that the association of alpha(V)beta(3) and cFms could be the result of signaling following tyrosine phosphorylation of cFms. The recruitment of cFms to alpha(V)beta(3) integrin may be an integral part of a larger signaling complex via which both of adhesion- and growth factor receptors coordinately regulate osteoclast adhesion, motility and membrane trafficking.

Abstract
Podosomes are actin-rich adhesive foci found in several cell types, including macrophages. They have a core containing actin and actin-binding proteins and a peripheral ring of integrins and associated proteins. We show that podosomes are abundant in polarized mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) and are found primarily in lamellae. We investigated the effects of CSF-1, which induces membrane ruffling, cell spreading, and subsequent polarization and migration, on podosome formation. CSF-1 induces a transient increase in podosome number and enhances the formation of circular arrays of podosomes. Conversely, CSF-1 withdrawal leads to a reduction in podosomes and a decrease in polarized cells. The PI 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002 induces loss of podosomes together with rapid retraction of lamellae and loss of polarity. Our results indicate that CSF-1 acts via PI 3-kinase to enhance podosome assembly and that this is linked to macrophage polarization.

Abstract
Colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1, also known as macrophage-CSF) is the primary regulator of the survival, proliferation, differentiation and function of mononuclear phagocytes. Studies that involve CSF-1-deficient mice demonstrate that there is a variable requirement for CSF-1 in the development of individual mononuclear phagocyte populations. However, these cells uniformly express the CSF-1 receptor, and their morphology, phagocytosis and responsiveness to infectious and non-infectious stimuli is regulated by CSF-1. CSF-1 plays important roles in innate immunity, cancer and inflammatory diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, arthritis, atherosclerosis and obesity. In several conditions, activation of macrophages involves a CSF-1 autocrine loop. In addition, secreted and cell-surface isoforms of CSF-1 can have differential effects in inflammation and immunity.

Abstract
Osteoclasts, the sole bone-resorbing cells, arise by fusion and differentiation of monocyte/macrophage precursors. Matrix degradation requires adhesion of the osteoclast to bone, an integrin alphavbeta3-mediated event that also stimulates signals which polarize the cell and secrete resorptive molecules such as hydrochloric acid and acidic proteases. Two cytokines are necessary and sufficient for osteoclastogenesis, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), both produced by mesenchymal cells in the bone marrow environment. M-CSF promotes survival and proliferation of osteoclast precursors. It also contributes to their differentiation and regulates the cytoskeletal changes that accompany bone resorption. Binding of M-CSF to c-Fms, its receptor, recruits adapter proteins and cytosolic kinases, thereby activating a variety of intracellular signals. We herein review how alphavbeta3 and M-CSF, alone and in concert, impact production, survival, and function of the osteoclast, thereby controlling skeletal mass. Signals from alphavbeta3 and/or c-Fms activate Syk and Vav3, originally defined by their function in lymphoid cells. Genetic depletion of either protein generates a strong bone phenotype, underscoring the promise of osteoimmunobiology.

Abstract
TNF-alpha is the dominant cytokine in inflammatory osteolysis. Using mice whose BM stromal cells and osteoclast precursors are chimeric for the presence of TNF receptors, we found that both cell types mediated the cytokine's osteoclastogenic properties. The greater contribution was made, however, by stromal cells that express the osteoclastogenic cytokine M-CSF. TNF-alpha stimulated M-CSF gene expression, in vivo, only in the presence of TNF-responsive stromal cells. M-CSF, in turn, induced the key osteoclastogenic cytokine receptor, receptor activator of NF-kappaB (RANK), in osteoclast precursors. In keeping with the proproliferative and survival properties of M-CSF, TNF-alpha enhanced osteoclast precursor number only in the presence of stromal cells bearing TNF receptors. To determine the clinical relevance of these observations, we induced inflammatory arthritis in wild-type mice and treated them with a mAb directed against the M-CSF receptor, c-Fms. Anti-c-Fms mAb selectively and completely arrested the profound pathological osteoclastogenesis attending this condition, the significance of which is reflected by similar blunting of the in vivo bone resorption marker tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP 5b). Confirming that inhibition of the M-CSF signaling pathway targets TNF-alpha, anti-c-Fms also completely arrested osteolysis in TNF-injected mice with nominal effect on macrophage number. M-CSF and its receptor, c-Fms, therefore present as candidate therapeutic targets in states of inflammatory bone erosion.

Abstract
The dental follicle regulates the alveolar bone resorption needed for tooth eruption. In the rat first mandibular molar, a decrease in the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) in the dental follicle at day 3 enables the osteoclastogenesis needed for eruption to occur. Because colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) is maximally expressed in the dental follicle at day 3, it was hypothesized that CSF-1 down-regulates OPG gene expression in the dental follicle in vivo. To test this, we compared the expression of OPG in osteopetrotic toothless (tl/tl) rats deficient in CSF-1 with expression in their normal littermates for given ages. OPG gene expression was found to be higher in the dental follicle of the tl/tl mutants than in normals. Transfecting short interfering RNA specific for CSF-1 mRNA into dental follicle cells resulted in an up-regulation of OPG expression. Thus, these studies support our hypothesis that the down-regulation of OPG needed for tooth eruption is mediated by CSF-1.
