RANK signaling is not required for TNFalpha-mediated increase in CD11(hi) osteoclast precursors but is essential for mature osteoclast formation in TNFalpha-mediated inflammatory arthritis.

To address the controversy of whether TNFalpha can compensate for RANKL in osteoclastogenesis in vivo, we used a TNFalpha-induced animal model of inflammatory arthritis and blocked RANKL/RANK signaling. TNFalpha increased osteoclast precursors available for RANK-dependent osteoclastogenesis. RANK signaling is not required for the TNFalpha-stimulated increase in CD11b(hi) osteoclast precursors but is essential for mature osteoclast formation. INTRODUCTION: Although critical roles of TNFalpha in inflammatory arthritis and RANKL in bone resorption have been firmly established, a central controversy remains about the extent to which TNFalpha can compensate for RANKL during osteoclastogenesis and the stage at which RANK signaling is required for osteoclastogenesis. Here, we used the human TNFalpha transgenic mouse model (TNF-Tg) of erosive arthritis to determine if there are both RANK-dependent and -independent stages of osteoclastogenesis in TNFalpha-induced erosive arthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast precursor (OCP) frequency were analyzed using histology, fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), and cell culture from (1) TNF-Tg mice treated with the RANKL antagonist, RANK:Fc, or (2) TNF-Tg X RANK -/- mice generated by crossing TNF-Tg mice with RANK-/- mice. RESULTS: Treatment of TNF-Tg mice, which have increased OCPs in their spleens, with RANK:Fc dramatically reduced osteoclast numbers on the surface of their arthritic joints and within their bones, but did not decrease CD11b(hi) OCP numbers in their spleens. Long-term RANK:Fc administration alleviated joint erosion. Furthermore, TNF-Tg x RANK -/- mice had severe osteopetrosis, no osteoclasts, and no joint erosion, but increased CD11b(hi) precursor numbers that failed to form mature osteoclasts in vitro. CONCLUSION: RANK signaling is essential for mature osteoclast formation in TNFalpha-mediated inflammatory arthritis but not for the TNFalpha-induced increase in CD11b(hi) OCP that subsequently can differentiate into osteoclasts in inflamed joints.

ASSAY OF S100 LANGERHANS' CELLS IN CERVICAL CARCINOMA

Langerhans cells (LCs) in the normal cervix (control, 19 cases), cervical carcinoma in situ( CIS, 19 cases) and invasive cervical carcinoma (30 cases), interdigitatlng cells (IDCs) and follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) in obturator lymph node draining Invasive cervical carcinoma were quantitatively assessed by ABC immunohistochemical staining using anti-S100 protein antibody. The results indicated that S100 LCs in sltu, S100 IDCs and S100 FDCs In obturator lymph node showed dendritic features with a specific distribution. Number of LCs in situ in Invasive carcinoma increased significantly when compared with CIS and control groups. There was no change in LCs number between grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ of squemous cell carcinoma. Number of IDCs was significantly less in stage Ⅱ than in stage Ⅰ . FDCs number In different Invasive depthes and clinical stages showed no obvious change. The results suggest that progression of cervical carcinoma is closely related to decrease of LCs hi situ and IDCs in regional lymph n
