Abstract
Chitosan is a polysaccharide scaffold used to enhance cartilage repair during treatments involving bone marrow stimulation, and it is reported to increase angiogenesis and osteogenesis in vivo. Here, we tested the hypotheses that addition of chitosan particles to the media of human bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) cultures stimulates osteogenesis by promoting osteoblastic differentiation and by favoring the release of angiogenic factors in vitro. Confluent BMSCs were cultured for 3 weeks with 16% fetal bovine serum, ascorbate-2-phosphate and disodium beta-glycerol phosphate, in the absence or presence of dexamethasone, an anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid commonly used as an inducer of BMSC osteoblast differentiation in vitro. As expected, dexamethasone slowed cell division, stimulated alkaline phosphatase activity and enhanced matrix mineralization. Added chitosan particles accumulated intra- and extracellularly and, while not affecting most osteogenic features, they inhibited osteocalcin release to the media at day 14 and interfered with mineralized matrix deposition. Interestingly, dexamethasone promoted cell attachment and suppressed the release and activation of matrix metalloprotease-2 (MMP-2). While chitosan particles had no effect on the release of angiogenic factors, dexamethasone significantly inhibited (p<0.05 to p<0.0001) the release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukins 1beta, 4, 6, and 10 (IL-1beta, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10), and a host of other inflammatory factors that were constitutively secreted by BMSCs. These results demonstrate that chitosan particles alone are not sufficient to promote osteoblast differentiation of BMSCs in vitro, and suggest that chitosan promotes osteogenesis in vivo through indirect mechanisms. Our data further show that continuous addition of dexamethasone promotes osteoblastic differentiation in vitro partly by inhibiting gelatinase activity and by suppressing inflammatory cytokines which result in increased cell attachment and cell cycle exit.

Abstract
Osteoclasts and osteoblasts, originating in the bone marrow from haemopoietic progenitors and mesenchymal stromal cells, respectively, are responsible for the remodelling of the skeleton throughout adult life. Upon loss of sex steroids, the production of osteoclasts in the bone marrow is increased. This is mediated by an increase in the production of interleukin 6 (IL-6), as well as an increase in the sensitivity of the osteoclastic precursors to the action of cytokines such as IL-6, owing to an up-regulation of the gp130 signal transduction pathway. Consistent with this, oestrogens as well as androgens inhibit IL-6 production through an indirect effect of their specific receptors on the transcriptional activity of the IL-6 gene promoter, and inhibit the expression of the gp130 gene. With advancing age, the ability of the marrow to maintain the high rate of osteoclastogenesis caused by the acute loss of sex steroids is diminished. This is probably the result of the negative effect of senescence on the ability of the marrow to produce stromal/osteoblastic cells, which provide the essential support for osteoclastogenesis. These observations suggest that inappropriate production of osteoclasts or inadequate production of osteoblasts in the bone marrow are fundamental cellular changes in the pathogenesis of postmenopausal and senescence-associated osteoporosis, respectively.

Abstract
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a 4-helical protein that binds to a specific IL-6 receptor on target cells and to two molecules of the promiscuous signal transducing protein, glycoprotein 130 (gp130). Structure-function analysis has led to the definition of molecular contacts between IL-6 and its receptor subunits. This knowledge has led to the design of competitive antagonistic proteins that retain their receptor binding capability, but fail to stimulate one or both gp130 proteins; the properties of such recombinant antagonistic proteins are compared with traditional neutralising monoclonal antibodies targeted at IL-6 or receptor subunits. Furthermore, several strategies have been employed to construct molecules with increased bioactivity. Possible therapeutic applications in putative IL-6 dependent haematologic disorders, e.g., Castleman's disease (CD), POEMS syndrome, multiple myeloma, and bone diseases, e.g., Paget's disease, osteoporosis, are outlined. IL-6 antagonists could also, in theory, suppress inflammatory activity in rheumatic and autoimmune diseases and could prevent secondary amyloidosis. This principle may prove advantageous in myocardial infarction (MI) and unstable angina pectoris. More generally, IL-6 antagonists could improve the wasting and microcytic anaemia of chronic diseases. IL-6 antagonists might slow down development of mesangio-proliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN). Hyperagonistic variants of IL-6 have a potential use in the ex vivo expansion of haematopoietic progenitor cells and as thrombopoietic agents. They might well be the first drugs to aid liver regeneration in vivo.

Abstract
Leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) or Oncostatin M (OSM), both mitogens for Swiss mouse 3T3 cells, triggers initiation of DNA synthesis without the requirement for mevalonic acid. Thus, Lovastatin (LOV), an inhibitor of the hydroxy methylglutaryl CoA (HMGCoA) reductase, does not block LIF or OSM induced DNA replication and cell multiplication. In contrast, increasing concentrations of LOV from 1 to 60 microM block the mitogenic action of PGF(2alpha) by decreasing the number of cells capable of entering S-phase and dividing. This inhibition by LOV can be reversed by addition of mevanolactone (MEV), an analogue of mevalonic acid. Thus, LIF or OSM triggers initiation of DNA replication independently of mevalonic acid synthesis and therefore without the involvement of isoprenylation of various signalling proteins.

Abstract
Bone tissue is continually being remodelled according to physiological circumstances. Two main cell populations (osteoblasts and osteoclasts) are involved in this process, and cellular activities (including cell differentiation) are modulated by hormones, cytokines and growth factors. Within the last 20 years, many factors involved in bone tissue metabolism have been found to be closely related to the inflammatory process. More recently, a cytokine family sharing a common signal transducer (gp130) had been identified, which appears to be a key factor in bone remodelling. This family includes interleukin 6, interleukin 11, oncostatin M, leukaemia inhibitory factor, ciliary neurotrophic factor and cardiotrophin-1. This paper provides an exhaustive review of recent knowledge on the involvement of gp130 cytokine family in bone cell (osteoblast, osteoclast, etc.) differentiation/activation and in osteoarticular pathologies.

Abstract
Leukemia-inhibitory factor (LIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine expressed by multiple tissue types. The LIF receptor shares a common gp130 receptor subunit with the IL-6 cytokine superfamily. LIF signaling is mediated mainly by JAK-STAT (janus-kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription) pathways and is abrogated by the SOCS (suppressor-of cytokine signaling) and PIAS (protein inhibitors of activated STAT) proteins. In addition to classic hematopoietic and neuronal actions, LIF plays a critical role in several endocrine functions including the utero-placental unit, the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis, bone cell metabolism, energy homeostasis, and hormonally responsive tumors. This paper reviews recent advances in our understanding of molecular mechanisms regulating LIF expression and action and also provides a systemic overview of LIF-mediated endocrine regulation. Local and systemic LIF serve to integrate multiple developmental and functional cell signals, culminating in maintaining appropriate hormonal and metabolic homeostasis. LIF thus functions as a critical molecular interface between the neuroimmune and endocrine systems.

Abstract
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) regulates cell growth and is produced by a variety of tissues, including bone. Previously we have shown that recombinant human LIF induced an increase in osteoclast number, bone formation, and DNA synthesis. In the present study, we have defined the cells in intact bone at which the proliferative effects of LIF occur, using simultaneous enzyme histochemistry and autoradiographic techniques. The area of alkaline phosphatase-positive staining was increased twofold (p = 0.0008) and the number of [3H]thymidine-positive cells was increased twofold (p = 0.0024) in LIF-treated bones. The radiolabeled cells either colocalized with alkaline phosphatase or were in the osteoprogenitor region. They were not found in the acid phosphatase-positive staining osteoclasts. These results indicate that cells which have a mitogenic response to LIF are bone-forming rather than bone-resorbing cells.

Abstract
We have previously established that stromal/osteoblastic cells collectively express receptors for all members of the cytokine subfamily that share the gp130 signal transducer and that different receptor repertoires may be expressed at different stages of differentiation of this lineage. We have now used human (MG-63) and murine (MC3T3-E1) osteoblastic cell lines as well as primary murine calvaria cells to test the hypothesis that these receptors mediate effects of the cytokines on the biology of osteoblasts. We report that as in other cell types, all of the osteoblastic cell models responded to interleukin-6 (IL-6)-type cytokines with activation of both the JAK/STAT (Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. In addition, IL-6-type cytokines stimulated alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin expression and inhibited (MG-63), stimulated (MC3T3-E1), or had no effect (calvaria cells) on the rate of cell proliferation. The ability of a given cell type to respond to a particular member of this family of cytokines was strictly dependent on the presence of the corresponding ligand-binding subunit (alpha) of the cytokine receptor, and the magnitude of all the effects was closely correlated with the concentration of this subunit. The relative contribution of the JAK/STAT and MAPK pathways to the biological effects of the cytokines was evaluated using kinase inhibitors. Cytokine-mediated modulation of cell proliferation as well as stimulation of alkaline phosphatase activity were abrogated by tyrosine kinase inhibitors as well as a threonine/serine kinase inhibitor, but were only minimally affected by a specific inhibitor of MAPK phosphorylation. These results demonstrate that IL-6-type cytokines, besides their osteoclastogenic properties, promote differentiation of committed osteoblastic cells toward a more mature phenotype and that this action is mediated primarily via the activation of the JAK/STAT pathway.

Abstract
The expression of a total of 58 cytokines, growth factors, and their corresponding receptors and bone matrix proteins was assessed using reverse transcription-linked polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis to determine the similarity in the expression profile between clonal osteosarcoma-derived human osteoblast-like cell lines and primary human osteoblast-like cell cultures derived from human trabecular bone explants. The spectrum of cytokines, growth factors, and bone-related proteins expressed by three human osteosarcoma-derived cell lines, TE-85, MG-63, SaOS-2, and primary human osteoblast-like cells was found to be highly comparable and for the first time the expression of EGF, ECGF, FGF beta, oncostatin M, TNF beta, and SCF by human osteoblast-like cells was detected. Also the expression of several receptor types including IL-4R, IL-7R, IFN alpha/beta R, and SCFR was detected that has not been previously described for human osteoblast-like cells. For the factors examined, no qualitative variations in the expression profile were observed in the six primary human osteoblast-like cell cultures used in this study. Of the 58 factors examined, only 13 showed some degree of nonuniformity of expression between all of the three cell lines and primary cell cultures. These differences were seen especially in the expression of cytokine receptor mRNA and to a lesser extent with some cytokines. Differences in receptor expression would suggest that the possible spectrum of response to exogenously added factors, or even autocrine/ paracrine networks would be determined by the repertoire of receptors expressed by each cell type. Whether the differences are related to the status of cell maturation within the osteoblast development lineage or to their abberant regulation of expression cannot be concluded at this stage. However, this PCR-phenotyping approach rapidly provides a resource of information, which can be subsequently used for further in depth studies to facilitate the analysis of the molecular mechanisms, whereby the target gene of interest is modulated in a model cell line. In addition, this study indicates that at least based on the transcript expression profile of the factors analyzed, human osteosarcoma-derived osteoblast-like cells are useful as models for their nontransformed counterparts.

Abstract
The functional receptor complexes assembled in response to interleukin-6 and -11 (IL-6 and IL-11), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), oncostatin M (OSM), and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), all involve the signal transducer gp130: IL-6 and IL-11 induce homodimerization of gp130, while the rest heterodimerize gp130 with other gp130-related beta subunits. Some of these cytokines (IL-6, IL-11, and CNTF) also require a specificity-determining alpha subunit not directly involved in signaling. We have searched for functional receptor complexes for these cytokines in cells of the bone marrow stromal/osteoblastic lineage, using tyrosine phosphorylation of the beta subunits as a detection assay. Collectively, murine calvaria cells, bone marrow-derived murine cell lines (+/+LDA11 and MBA13.2), as well as murine (MC3T3-E1) and human (MG-63) osteoblast-like cell lines displayed all the previously recognized alpha and beta subunits of this family of receptors. However, individual cell types had different constellations of alpha and beta subunits. In addition and in difference to the other cell types examined, MC3T3-E1 cells expressed a heretofore unrecognized form of gp130; and MG-63 displayed an alternative form (type II) of the OSM receptor. These findings establish that stromal/osteoblastic cells are targets for the actions of all the members of the cytokine subfamily that shares the gp130 signal transducer; and suggest that different receptor repertoires may be expressed at different stages of differentiation of this lineage.

Abstract
Both osteoblasts and osteoclasts are derived from progenitors that reside in the bone marrow; osteoblasts belong to the mesenchymal lineage of the marrow stroma, and osteoclasts to the hematopoietic lineage. The development of osteoclasts from their progenitors is dependent on stromal-osteoblastic cells, which are a major source of cytokines that are critical in osteoclastogenesis, such as interleukin-6 and interleukin-11. The production of interleukin-6 by stromal osteoblastic cells, as well as the responsiveness of bone marrow cells to cytokines such as interleukin-6 and interleukin-11, is regulated by sex steroids. When gonadal function is lost, the formation of osteoclasts as well as osteoblasts increases in the marrow, both changes apparently mediated by an increase in the production of interleukin-6 and perhaps by an increase in the responsiveness of bone marrow progenitor cells not only to interleukin-6 but also to other cytokines with osteoclastogenic and osteoblastogenic properties. The cellular activity of the bone marrow is also altered by the process of aging. Specifically, senescence may decrease the ability of the marrow to form osteoblast precursors. The association between the dysregulation of osteoclast or osteoblast development in the marrow and the disruption of the balance between bone resorption and bone formation, resulting in the loss of bone, leads to the following notion. Like homeostasis of other regenerating tissues, homeostasis of bone depends on the orderly replenishment of its cellular constituents. Excessive osteoclastogenesis and inadequate osteoblastogenesis are responsible for the mismatch between the formation and resorption of bone in postmenopausal and age-related osteopenia. The recognition that changes in the numbers of bone cells, rather than changes in the activity of individual cells, form the pathogenetic basis of osteoporosis is a major advance in understanding the mechanism of this disease.
