Multinucleated giant cells from fibroblast cultures

Abstract: Many multinucleated giant cells are well-known to form from macrophage origin. Those formed from other cell types are less described, but may be as prevalent in pathological tissue. Giant multinucleated cells derived from secondary and primary fibroblast sources in various cultures with similar characteristics to foreign body giant cells are reported. Secondary-transformed NIH 3T3 fibroblasts rapidly fuse within 24 hours in contact co-cultures with RAW 264.7 immortalized macrophages, while 3T3 mono-cultures, n… Show more

“…This type of cells might represent a macrophage line with phagocytic properties, as previously reported (Grzesiak et al 2011). Giant cells are formed due to nuclear division without cytokinesis and are prone to changes in various pathologies, such as fibrosis, cancer, aging, and the foreign body response (Holt and Grainger 2011). A larger population of giant cells observed in our study of equine cultures cultivated with metamizole, compared to cultures exposed to tolfenamic acid, may indicate increased activity of COX-2, induced by an intensified pro-inflammatory immune response.…”

“…Studies in both the biomaterials and wound healing literature have shown complex and reciprocal cell-cell crosstalk between macrophages and fibroblasts during the processes of healing and fibrosis [69-72]. In the context of the foreign body reaction, these interactions have been shown to result in increased expression of MCP-1 (a potent recruiter of macrophages and a mitogen for fibroblasts), the inhibition of macrophage secretion of cytokines, and the promotion of fibroblast production of cytokines, among others [71].…”

“…Conflicting, inconsistent data in the archival literature plague any consensus view regarding in vitro assessments of macrophage response to biomaterials [13, 14, 39]. We hypothesize that macrophage sourcing and their culture conditions, including time, contribute to highly variable macrophage responses reported for such studies.…”
