摘要
The murine macrophage cell line RAW264.7 is extensively used as a progenitor to study osteoclast (OC) differentiation. RAW264.7 is a heterogeneous cell line, containing sub-clones with different abilities to form OCs. The aim of this study was to identify characteristics within the heterogeneous RAW264.7 cells that define sub-clones with an augmented ability to form bone-resorbing OCs (H9), as well as sub-clones representing non-OCs (J8). RAW264.7 sub-clones were isolated by single cell cloning. Selection was based on TRAP/cathepsin K expression in sub-clone cultures without added RANKL. Sub-clones before and after differentiation with RANKL were assayed for multiple OC-characteristics. Sub-clone H9 cells presented a higher expression of OC-markers in cultures without added RANKL compared to the parental RAW264.7. After 6 days of RANKL stimulation, sub-clone H9 cells had equal expression levels of OC-markers with RAW264.7 and formed OCs able to demineralize hydroxyapatite. However, sub-clone H9 cells displayed rapid differentiation of OC already at Day 2 compared to Day 4 from parental RAW264.7, and when cultured on plastic and on bone they were more efficient in resorption. This rapid differentiation was likely due to high initial expression/nuclear translocation of OC master transcription factor, NFATc1. In contrast to H9, J8 cells expressed initially very low levels of OC-markers, and they did not respond to RANKL-stimulation by developing OC-characteristics/OC-marker expression. Hence, H9 is an additional clone suitable for experimental setup requiring rapid differentiation of large numbers of OCs.
