Osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF), a ligand for osteoprotegerin (OPG)/osteoclastogenesis-inhibitory factor (OCIF), induces osteoclast-like cell formation in vitro. To elucidate the role of ODF in the microenvironment of bone, we examined effects of ODF, OPG/OCIF, and anti-ODF polyclonal antibody on bone resorption using a fetal mouse long bone culture system. A genetically engineered soluble-form ODF (sODF) elicited bone resorption in a concentration-dependent manner and OPG/OCIF blocked the bone resorption. Anti-ODF polyclonal antibody, which neutralizes ODF activity, negated bone resorption induced by 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, parathyroid hormone, or prostaglandin E2. OPG/OCIF also abolished bone-resorbing activity elicited by these bone-resorbing agents. Interleukin 1 alpha-stimulated bone resorption was also significantly suppressed by anti-ODF polyclonal antibody and OPG/OCIF. Thus, we conclude that ODF plays a critical role in bone resorption in the microenvironment of bone.
破骨细胞分化因子(ODF)是骨保护素(OPG)/破骨细胞生成抑制因子(OCIF)的配体,可在体外诱导破骨细胞样细胞形成。为阐明ODF在骨微环境中的作用,我们使用胎鼠长骨培养系统研究了ODF、OPG/OCIF和抗ODF多克隆抗体对骨吸收的影响。基因工程可溶性形式的ODF(sODF)以浓度依赖方式引起骨吸收,而OPG/OCIF可阻断骨吸收。中和ODF活性的抗ODF多克隆抗体可消除由1α,25 - 二羟维生素D3、甲状旁腺激素或前列腺素E2诱导的骨吸收。OPG/OCIF也消除了这些骨吸收剂引起的骨吸收活性。抗ODF多克隆抗体和OPG/OCIF也显著抑制了白细胞介素1α刺激的骨吸收。因此,我们得出结论,ODF在骨微环境中的骨吸收中起关键作用。
