To better understand the mechanisms of osteoclast precursor development from hematopoietic stem cells, we examined the conditions that support the production of osteoclast progenitors, osteoclast colony-forming units (CFU-O), from long-term bone marrow cultures established under myeloid (Dexter's) and lymphoid (WhitlockandWitte's) conditions. Nonadherent cells harvested weekly from myeloid or lymphoid long-term cultures were assayed for CFU-O-derived colony formation in agar in the presence of a murine osteoclast colony-stimulating factor. The myeloid system supported CFU-O production for weeks, but the system produced many other types of myeloid colonies and cells as well, and quantification of CFU-O-derived colonies was difficult. The lymphoid long-term culture system also produced CFU-O; however, CFU-O production in the lymphoid system appeared more selective than in the myeloid system, but was transient. Interestingly, the addition of medium containing G-CSF to these cultures greatly enhanced (>200%) the CFU-O production. This enhanced CFU-O production was confirmed using bone marrow cultures established on a defined marrow stromal cell line under lymphoid conditions and supplemented with recombinant murine G-CSF. Thus, G-CSF facilitates the development of clonogenic osteoclast progenitors from hematopoietic stem cells in lymphoid long-term culture conditions. This culture system may serve as a useful model for ex vivo generation of osteoclast progenitors.
