Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and the osteoclast/immune cell dichotomy

Abstract: Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), once considered to be just a histochemical marker of osteoclasts is now recognised to be a molecule of widespread occurrence with functions in both the skeleton and the immune system. TRAP is expressed by osteoclasts, macrophages, dendritic cells and a number of other cell types. It has a critical role in many biological processes including skeletal development, collagen synthesis and degradation, the mineralisation of bone, cytokine production by macrophages and den… Show more

“…In our culture system, IL-3 inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation by directly acting on osteoclast precursors. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase is a marker of osteoclast but is not specific for human osteoclasts (35). Therefore, we determined the expression of 23c6, an epitope of the vitronectin receptor (CD51/61), which is specifically expressed by human osteoclasts (36).…”

“…16 TRAP staining (TRAP 387 Kit, Sigma-Aldrich Chemicals, St Louis, Mo), a marker of osteoclasts, was used to evaluate alveolar bone resorption. 7,12,13,[17][18][19] The osteoclasts were multinucleated, TRAP-positive cells in contact with or near bone surfaces 12,13 and were evaluated in the periodontal ligament (PL) of the mesial face of the DV root of the maxillary right first molar. 18,20,21 From each of the five sections, images were captured from five consecutive microscopic fields 18 using an Olympus BX40 light microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) coupled to a Dinolite AM 423X microcamera (AmMo Electronics Corp, New Taipei City, Taiwan) at 4003 magnification.…”

“…27 TRAP staining was carried out using a manufacturer's protocol (387A-1KT; Sigma Aldrich, Inc., St. Louis, MO). The number of TRAP-positive cells was determined within an area of 8x6mm around the center of the defect (Figs.…”
