Osteoclast Stimulating and Differentiating Factors in Human Cholesteatoma

Abstract: This study reveals that the number of osteoclast precursor cells is markedly increased in the perimatrix of cholesteatoma tissue. Our results support a concept described for inflammatory arthritis: the inflammation related to cholesteatoma induces bone resorption by release of OPGL from activated T-cells and triggers osteoclastogenesis. This could be a major target for drugs to inhibit osteoclast formation and bone resorption and may be an adjunct in cholesteatoma management.

“…However, the detailed etiology of the bone destruction in COM remains unclear. Resorption of audiological ossicles occurs in a localized area adjacent to the cholesteatoma perimatrix or granulation tissue [4][5][6] . The perimatrix of cholesteatoma contains lymphocytes, monocytes, fibroblasts and endothelial cells that are the source of high concentrations of proinflammatory (TNF-␣ , IL-1 and IL-6) and immunoregulatory (IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, TGF-␤ and GM-CSF) cytokines and other mediators (RANKL) [2,5,7,8] .…”

“…Activated osteoclasts play the main role in the osteolysis process in COM [2,8,9] . Proinflammatory cytokines produced by cholesteatoma may activate osteoclasts involved in the bone osteolysis, stimulate keratinocytes and endothelial cells, and may activate the selectins and integrins enabling the rolling and adhesion processes [2,6,[9][10][11] . In cholesteatoma increased concentrations of TNF-␣ , IL-1 ␣ and IL-6 were observed [2,7,9,10] .…”

“…However, the localization of RANKL is also controversial. Some have reported it is expressed in the epithelial layer (43), others showed it was expressed in the subepithelial layer, including infiltrated inflammatory cells (44), and still others found both the epithelial layer and subepithelial layer (45,46) expressed RANKL in cholesteatoma. What makes these problems difficult to solve is partially that cholesteatoma is usually removed piece by piece, and the obtained clinical samples are very small.…”

“…Florid inflammation and angiogenesis are distinctive features of the condition in most cases. It is also believed that the inflammation associated within the perimatrix of cholesteatoma induces bone resorption [17] . It is suspected that an early treatment of the inflammatory process of the ear may probably prevent the development of hyperplastic destructive epidermis [7] .…”
