PG - 199-208 AB - Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) stimulates bone resorption both in vitro and in vivo. The cellular mechanisms for this effect are not known but one pathway may be via release of osteoblast derived factors which stimulate osteoclast formation. Because colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) is essential for osteoclast progenitor proliferation, we examined the effect of TNF-alpha on osteoblast expression of CSF-1. TNF-alpha treatment of MC3T3-E1 or primary mouse osteoblasts stimulated the secretion of an activity that was mitogenic for a CSF-1 responsive cell line and was completely neutralized by antiserum to CSF-1. By Northern analysis, TNF-alpha caused a dose and time (3 to 24 h) dependent increase in CSF-1 transcript expression in MC3T3-E1 cells. mRNA stability studies using actinomycin D revealed that TNF-alpha does not affect CSF-1 mRNA half-life in MC3T3-E1 cells, while nuclear-run off analysis demonstrated that TNF-alpha increases CSF-1 gene transcription. Cycloheximide treatment of MC3T3-E1 cells up-regulated CSF-1 mRNA, and compared to either agent alone, cycloheximide and TNF-alpha in combination resulted in augmentation of CSF-1 expression. A series of studies using both agonists and inhibitors indicated that TNF-alpha-induced CSF-1 expression did not involve the arachidonic acid, PKC, or cAMP pathways. These results suggest that TNF-alpha induces CSF-1 expression in osteoblasts by a transcriptional mechanism which is largely independent of new protein synthesis and of the second messenger pathways examined.
