title: A comparative study on BMP-induced osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis in primary cultures of adult rat bone marrow cells.
abstract: Bone remodeling is a process consisting of bone formation and resorption. The present study compared the relative osteoclastic and osteoblastic potency of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP)-2, -4, -5, -6, and -7 in primary murine bone marrow cultures. All five BMPs stimulated, to varying degree, formation of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cells in a time- and protein concentration-dependent manner. The TRAP staining intensity correlated positively with the number of nuclei per TRAP-positive cell and the mRNA levels of colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL), TRAP, and cathepsin K. Under osteogenic conditions, all five BMPs stimulated AP activity and mineralized bone nodule formation in a protein concentration-dependent manner in the same primary murine bone marrow cell culture system. These findings should be useful in designing treatment strategies for bone regeneration.
