** field of osteoimmunology - regulatory interaction between bone and immune cells, roles for macrophages in bone biology.... macrophages are intercalated throughout osteal tissues and that they are co-isolated in primary osteoblast preparations. this distinct population of resident tissue macrophages are named OsteoMacs.

removing OsteoMacs from primary osteoblast cultures compromised osteoblast function in vitro. macrophages are required for efficient osteoblast differentiation in response to a range of anabolic stimuli in vitro, and that this action is mediated by a soluble factor that is not BMP-2 or -4.

Macrophages form a canopy structure covering osteoblasts at sites of bone formation and are present at sites of bone remodelling but are not TRAP positive osteoclast precursors.

X Abstract

Resident macrophages are an integral component of many tissues and are important in homeostasis and repair. This study examines the contribution of resident tissue macrophages to bone physiology. Using immunohistochemistry, we showed that a discrete population of resident macrophages, OsteoMacs, was intercalated throughout murine and human osteal tissues. OsteoMacs were distributed among other bone lining cells within both endosteum and periosteum. Furthermore, OsteoMacs were coisolated with osteoblasts in murine bone explant and calvarial preparations. OsteoMacs made up 15.9% of calvarial preparations and persisted throughout standard osteoblast differentiation cultures. Contrary to previous studies, we showed that it was OsteoMacs and not osteoblasts within these preparations that responded to pathophysiological concentrations of LPS by secreting TNF. Removal of OsteoMacs from calvarial cultures significantly decreased osteocalcin mRNA induction and osteoblast mineralization in vitro. In a Transwell coculture system of enriched osteoblasts and macrophages, we demonstrated that macrophages were required for efficient osteoblast mineralization in response to the physiological remodeling stimulus, elevated extracellular calcium. Notably, OsteoMacs were closely associated with areas of bone modeling in situ, forming a distinctive canopy structure covering >75% of mature osteoblasts on diaphyseal endosteal surfaces in young growing mice. Depletion of OsteoMacs in vivo using the macrophage-Fas-induced apoptosis (MAFIA) mouse caused complete loss of osteoblast bone-forming surface at this modeling site. Overall, we have demonstrated that OsteoMacs are an integral component of bone tissues and play a novel role in bone homeostasis through regulating osteoblast function. These observations implicate OsteoMacs, in addition to osteoclasts and osteoblasts, as principal participants in bone dynamics.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
