Abstract
Multinucleated giant cells and osteoclasts arise through the fusion of mononuclear phagocyte precursors. To elucidate the mechanism by which cells of monocytic lineage fuse and differentiate into giant cells and osteoclasts, we hypothesized that, as with other cell fusion events, specific surface molecules mediate the adhesion/fusion process. It has been observed that macrophages can be induced to fuse with one another in response to specific stimuli or when placed in a specific microenvironment. The formation of giant cells is primarily associated with chronic inflammatory reactions and tumors, while osteoclasts differentiate on bone which they resorb. The fact that, under normal conditions, macrophages and monocytes fail to fuse in regions and tissues where they are present in large numbers suggests the regulated and transient expression of potential fusion molecules. To identify such a fusion-associated molecule, we established a macrophage fusion assay and generated monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that alter the fusion of macrophages in vitro. We selected four mAbs that each had the ability to block the fusion but not the aggregation of macrophages in vitro. All four antibodies recognize surface proteins of 150 kDa. The expression of the antigens recognized by all four mAbs is restricted to macrophages that have been induced to fuse in vitro and in vivo and is inducible, transient, and regulated, as neither nonfusing macrophages nor macrophages fused in vitro express these antigens. These results support the hypothesis that macrophage fusion is mediated by specific fusion/adhesion molecules and also provide a means to study the molecular mechanisms of macrophage fusion.
