Abstract excerpt
To study the effects of osteoblast products on osteoclast formation, we added the conditioned medium (CM) of rat osteoblastic cell line ROS17/2.8 to rat bone marrow cultures, in which tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclast-like multinucleate cells (MNCs) formed in the presence of 10(-8) M 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). The formation of 1,25(OH)2D3-dependent TRAP-positive MNC at...
