Observations on the Mechanism of Bone Resorption Induced by Multiple Myeloma Marrow Culture Fluids and Partially Purified Osteoclast-activating Factor

Abstract

Supernatant fluids from the cultures of bone marrow cells from 10 of 12 patients with multiple myeloma (MM) caused bone resorption in organ cultures of fetal rat calvaria. In four patients, the marrow cells were cultured with and without indomethacin (1 μM). The supernatant fluids from indomethacintreated marrow cultures caused significantly less bone resorption than supernatant fluids of cell cultures without indomethacin. This inhibition of release of bone resorbing factor(s) by myeloma cultures is similar to the previously observed indomethacin-induced inhibition of osteoclast-activating factor (OAF) production by activated human leukocytes. None of the MM supernatants had any effect on cyclic (c)AMP accumulation in resorbing bone in vitro.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
