The Foreign Body Giant Cell Cannot Resorb Bone, But Dissolves Hydroxyapatite Like Osteoclasts
Foreign body multinucleated giant cells (FBGCs) and osteoclasts share several characteristics, like a common myeloid precursor cell, multinuclearity, expression of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAcP) and dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP). However, there is an important difference: osteoclasts form and reside in the vicinity of bone, while FBGCs form only under pat...
متن کاملIsolated osteoclasts resorb the organic and inorganic components of bone
Osteoclasts are the principal resorptive cells of bone, yet their capacity to degrade collagen, the major organic component of bone matrix, remains unexplored. Accordingly, we have studied the bone resorptive activity of highly enriched populations of isolated chicken osteoclasts, using as substrate devitalized rat bone which had been labeled in vivo with L-[5-3H]proline or 45Ca, and bone-like ...
متن کاملDC-STAMP is essential for cell–cell fusion in osteoclasts and foreign body giant cells
Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing cells that play a pivotal role in bone remodeling. Osteoclasts form large multinuclear giant cells by fusion of mononuclear osteoclasts. How cell fusion is mediated, however, is unclear. We identify the dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP), a putative seven-transmembrane protein, by a DNA subtraction screen between multinuclear osteoclasts and ...
متن کاملGiant cell tumor of the sphenoid bone
Background: Giant cell tumor is a benign but locally aggressive bone neoplasm which uncommonly involves the skull. Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the sphenoid bone is relatively rare. In this report, we describe a tumor of the greater wing of left sphenoid bone. Case presentation: A 31-year-old female was presented with headache, proptosis and diplopia of her left eye. Cranial magnetic resonance ima...
متن کاملCCL2 and CCR2 are Essential for the Formation of Osteoclasts and Foreign Body Giant Cells.
Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells responsible for bone resorption. They are derived from the fusion of cells in the monocyte/macrophage lineage. Monocytes and macrophages can also fuse to form foreign body giant cells (FBGC). Foreign body giant cells are observed at the interface between a host and a foreign body such as implants during a foreign body reaction. Macrophages are attracted to t...
