Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Bone is a dynamic tissue that under goes
constant remodelling through balancing bone
formation and resorption.
₪Formation  Osteoblast cells
₪ Resorption  Osteoclast cells

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ The osteoclast (OCL) is the primary bone
resorbing cell.
₪ The osteoclast were first recognised in 1873 by
Albert Kolliker as a multinuclear cell that digest
bone.
₪ It is a highly specialized multinucleated cell
whose primary function is to help in the control
of calcium homeostasis.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Increase in the degree of multinucleation enhance
the capacity of OCL to resorb bone.
₪ More no. of nuclei  more bone resorption
₪ Less no. of nuclei  less bone resorption

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Compare to other bone cells and their respective
precursors, osteoclast are much larger cells.
₪ And thus because of their size they can be easily
identified under light microscope and often are seen
in clusters.
Identification Features :

Osteoclast (OCL)

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ The osteoclast is an extremely large cell, ranging in
size from 50 -100 µm in diameter.
₪ It is multinucleated and may contain 2-100 nuclei per
cell, but usually contains between 10 and 20.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Typically osteoclast are found against the surface of
bone, occupying the hollow out depression known as
HOWSHIP
,
s LACUNAE.
₪ These are the shallow trough which shows the
activity and mobility of osteoclast cell during active
resorption.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪The osteoclast is located at
₪ Endosteal bone surfaces,
₪ Within the haversian system,
₪ And on periosteal surfaces beneath the
periosteum.
₪Osteoclasts are most abundant at sites of active
bone cell activity, such as metaphyses of growing
bone.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ In electron microscopy osteoclasts have several
unique ultrastructural features.
₪The characteristic ruffled border
₪Forms at the site where the osteoclast is attached
to bone matrix
₪Is a convolution of plasma membrane with many
long cytoplasmic processes.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪The plasma membrane is closely apposed to the bone
surface with an adjacent organelle free area, the clear
zone, which is rich in actin like filaments
₪ Actin
₪ Vinculin
₪ Talin

₪ A many of cell membrane infolding making
up the ruffled border
₪ Sealing zone of osteoclast showing striation
and granularity representing the concentration
of contractile protein in this region.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪This clear zone or sealing zone
₪Attaches the cells to the mineralized surface
₪Isolate the microenvironment between them and
bone surface.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪Lamina Limitans (electron dense interfacial matrix
layer) often observed between the sealing zone and
calcified tissue surface.
₪ Immunocytochemical preparation of
osteopontin showing black dots of
osteopontin on the bone surface at sealing

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪This layer consist of RGD(arg - gly- aspartic acid ) containing
molecules
₪Bone sialoprotein
₪Osteopontin
₪ That facilitate the osteoclast adhesion and formation
of sealing zone via αvβ3 mediated mechanism.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪Other ultrastructural characteristics of osteoclasts
include
₪Large numbers of lysosomes,
₪Numerous pleomorphic mitochondria,
₪Extensive golgi complexes located around the
nucleus

₪Osteoclast possess numerous golgi complexes located near the nuclei and mitochondriawww.indiandentalacademy.com

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ The cytoplasm is characterized by dense granules.
₪In addition have many prominent vesicles, especially
in the region of the ruffled border.
₪The multiple nuclei are centrally located, but have a
highly variable shape and contain one prominent
nucleolus per nucleus.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Cytochemically they are identified by possessing
TRAP (tartrate resistantant acid phosphatase) with
in the cytoplasmic vesicles and vacuoles.

tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) in the cytoplasm of a multinucleated,
culture-generated mouse osteoclast. Bar 5 -20 mm.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ A variety of studies have clearly indicated that the
osteoclast is hematopoietic in origin and not bone
derived.
₪ But still the origin of the osteoclast is a subject of
intense investigation and controversy.
origin:

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Walker et al. reported that transplantation of spleen
and marrow cells into osteotropic mice results in
removal of the excess bone present in these animals.
origin:

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Marks has shown that transplantation of spleen cells
into the osteopetrotic rat can cure the disease.
₪ In contrast to untreated rats whose osteoclasts lack
ruffled borders, infusion of mononuclear spleen cells
resulted in the formation of osteoclasts with ruffled
borders.
origin:

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ All these studies are conclude that the osteoclast
precursor is a mononuclear cell that is hematopoietic
in origin.
₪ The osteoclast forms by fusion of mononuclear
precursors rather than endomitosis.
origin:

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Multinucleated osteoclast arise from the hematopoietic
precursors of the monocyte /macrophage lineage
₪ Stromal cells in the marrow cavity and osteoblast
modulate the differentiation of osteoclast.

₪ Stromal cells and osteoblast modulate osteoclast
differentiation via
₪Various molecules
₪Direct Cell to cell interaction
origin:

Differentiation markers
₪ Histochemical studies have shown that osteoclasts
contain a Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)
activity that is found in
₪Lysosomes,
₪Golgi complexes,
₪Extracellular channels of the ruffled border,
₪ And the space between cells and bones.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase appears to be a
marker for osteoclasts in bone sections.
₪ Other acid hydrolases are present in osteoclasts,
including
₪Leucine aminopeptidase,
₪β-d-galactosidase,
₪β-d-glucosidase.
All are non specific for the osteoclast.www.indiandentalacademy.com

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Calcitonin receptors have been suggested as a good
maker for mammalian osteoclast differentiation.
₪ This differentiate osteoclast cells from other cells of
the mononuclear phagocyte series.

Osteoclast (OCL)
Mechanism of action of bone resorption :
₪ An osteoclast resorbs bone through the formation of a
sealing zone of close adhesion between itself and the
bone.
₪The adjacent plasma membrane is thrown into complex
folds, the 'ruffled border', which consists of finger-like
membrane projections.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ The 'ruffled border' and 'clear zone' constitute a
system for bone resorption unique to the osteoclast.
₪ The expression of these structures generally depends
upon the level of cellular activity.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Thus, regulators of osteoclast activity rapidly increase
or decrease the size of the 'ruffled border' and 'clear
zone'.

₪ 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3
₪ Prostaglandin E2

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Role of mineral
₪ Osteoclast activation requires contact with bone
mineral.
₪ Osteoclasts can resorb calcified cartilage, enamel,
dentine or cementum in addition to mineralized bone

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Role of mineral
₪ Uncalcified cartilage is not resorbed by osteoclasts
₪The osteoid or related unmineralized collagenous
matrix could prevent effective osteoclastic activation.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Role of mineral
₪ Osteoclasts, normally resting in the periosteal and
endosteal mesenchyme,
₪ For its activation it must cross a cellular (osteoblast)
barrier and possibly a second osteoid barrier to gain
contact with mineral.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Role of osteoblast
₪ The osteoblast is the primary target cell in hormonal
activation of the osteoclast as it possess specific
surface receptors for
₪parathyroid hormone
₪parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP),
₪1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ It is proven that
₪cell contact
₪soluble products released by the osteoblast
is required for osteoblast-induced osteoclastic
stimulation to take place.
₪ The nature of this soluble factor is still unclear 0.5-1
kDa to over 25 kDa.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Osteoclast adhesion to bone
₪ In order to resorb bone, the osteoclast must
effectively adhere to the bone surface.
₪ It contain characterized adhesive receptor, osteoclast
functional antigen (OFA),

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ OFA comprises of
₪140 kDa δ-chain (immunologically cross-reacts with the
vitronectin δ-chain receptor)
₪85 kDa β-chain related to the platelet gp III-a
molecule (β3, integrin).

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ OFA expression on bone cells is restricted to
osteoclasts and preosteoclasts.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Integrins, such as the vitronectin receptor, are
transmembrane proteins that act as linkers between
₪Extracellular ligands and cytoskeletal components,
such as vinculin, talin, δ-actinin and F-actin

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ The ligands in bone containing the RGD (arginine-
glycine-aspartic acid) tripeptide recognition sequence
that could potentially bind to OFA.
₪ These include
₪Osteopontin,
₪Thrombospondin
₪Bone sialoprotein.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Mineral dissolution
₪ Osteoclasts secrete acid ,lactate and citrate and thus
maintain a low pH (values of 4.5 ) in the resorptive
hemivacuole.
₪ Active H+ion secretion from the osteoclast was
demonstrated by using Acridine Orange as an indicator
of extracellular acidification.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Acridine Orange fluorescence was increased by
₪Parathyroid hormone
₪Prostaglandin E2,
₪ And decreased by calcitonin

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ It has been reported that the apical membrane of the
'ruffled border' contain proton pumps that may be
involved in the acidification of the extracellular
resorptive hemivacuole.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Two types of proton pumps have been implicated in
the acidification process.
₪ V-type or Electrogenic vacuolar type proton pump
(H+-ATPase){predominantly involved}
₪P-type plasma membrane pump
(H+- K+-ATPase).

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Role of Carbonic anhydrases
₪ The proton pump in the osteoclast is supplied by
protons generated by the action of carbonic anhydrase
isoenzyme II
₪ Immunocytochemical techniques have localized the
enzyme to the 'ruffled border' of active osteoclasts.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ It catalyses the conversion of CO2 (generated from
cell respiration) to HCO3
- and H+.
CO2  HCO3
- + H+
₪ Shows that bone resorption is critically dependent
upon CO2 concentration.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Meanwhile, basolateral exchange of HCO3-ions for Cl-
by anion exchanger provides Cl- ions required for the
intense acidification occurring in the resorption lacuna.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Matrix degradation
₪ Osteoclastic lysosomal enzymes are destined for
secretion and transported in a specific direction via
primary lysosomes and are released into the resorptive
hemivacuole at the 'ruffled border'.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Lysosomal hydrolases, exhibiting optimal activity at an
acid pH, resorb the organic matrix of bone.
₪ Collagen can be digested by a number of lysosomal
cysteine-proteinases in the acid environment.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ The three types of collagenolytic cysteine-proteinases
found in bone
₪cathepsins L,
₪cathepsins B,
₪cathepsins N.

Osteoclast (OCL)
₪ Increased levels of acid phosphatase activity in plasma
occur during physiological and pathological states of
increased bone remodelling.
₪ This isoenzyme is not inhibited by dextro-rotatory
tartaric acid, (a competitive inhibitor of prostatic and lysosomal acid
phosphatases)
