The quest for a biomarker of circulating osteoclast precursors
Osteoclast precursors arise from the CD14+ CD16- population in controls but details about cell surface marker expression and functional characteristics of these cells is unknown, particularly in patients with inflammatory arthritis. In a recent issue of Arthritis, Research and Therapy, Lari and colleagues found that osteoclasts developed from a proliferative CD14+ CD16- subset in healthy contro...
متن کاملAnnexin II increases osteoclast formation by stimulating the proliferation of osteoclast precursors in human marrow cultures.
Annexin II (AXII), a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein, has been recently found to be an osteoclast (OCL) stimulatory factor that is also secreted by OCLs. In vitro studies showed that AXII induced OCL formation and bone resorption. However, the mechanism of action by which AXII acts as a soluble extracellular protein to induce OCL formation is unknown. In this paper, we demonstrat...
متن کاملThe proliferative human monocyte subpopulation contains osteoclast precursors
INTRODUCTION Immediate precursors of bone-resorbing osteoclasts are cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. Particularly during clinical conditions showing bone loss, it would appear that osteoclast precursors are mobilized from bone marrow into the circulation prior to entering tissues undergoing such loss. The observed heterogeneity of peripheral blood monocytes has led to the notion that d...
متن کاملRegulation of osteoclast development by Notch signaling directed to osteoclast precursors and through stromal cells.
Osteoclasts are derived from hematopoietic precursor cells belonging to the monocyte/macrophage lineage. Osteoclast development has been reported to be regulated by several molecules such as macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB ligand (RANKL), and a decoy receptor of RANKL, osteoprotegerin (OPG). Recently, it was demonstrated that the No...
متن کاملCXCR4-mediated chemoattraction of long bone and jaw osteoclast precursors
Bone is important to give the body support, but it also contains marrow that harbors mesenchymal stem cells and hematopoietic progenitors. An important chemoattractant for hematopoietic cell homing towards the bone marrow, CXCL12, was shown to inhibit expression of apoptosis related genes. Previously, it was shown that jaw osteoclast precursors express more anti-apoptotic genes than long bone o...
