The osteoclast: A multinucleated, hematopoietic‐origin, bone‐resorbing osteoimmune cell

Abstract: Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells that derive from hematopoietic progenitors in the bone marrow which also give rise to monocytes in peripheral blood, and to the various types of tissue macrophages. Osteoclasts are formed by the fusion of precursor cells. They function in bone resorption and are therefore critical for normal skeletal development (growth and modeling), for the maintenance of its integrity throughout life, and for calcium metabolism (remodeling). To resorb bone, the osteoclasts attach to the … Show more

“…They arise from myeloid hematopoietic progenitor cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage through a series of differentiation stages that generate large multinucleated, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive mature cells [20,21]. Abnormally enhanced osteoclast formation and activity accelerate pathogenesis of arthritis and other diseases characterized by inflammatory osteolysis, causing bone loss that inevitably results in pain, deformity, osteopenia and structural changes [2,3,5, 18,19].…”

“…As the exclusive osteoresorptive cells, osteoclasts are directly responsible for physiological bone resorption and pathological bone destruction [18,19]. They arise from myeloid hematopoietic progenitor cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage through a series of differentiation stages that generate large multinucleated, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive mature cells [20,21].…”
