We previously reported a procedure to obtain a preparation containing a large number of mouse osteoclast (OCL)-like multinucleated cells (MNCs) formed in cocultures of mouse osteoblastic and bone marrow cells in the presence of 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3]. The MNCs satisfied major criteria of OCLs, such as tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity, acid production, calcitonin (CT) receptors, and the ability to form resorption pits on bone slices. In this report, we describe a simple resorption assay system using MNC preparations. After culturing MNC preparations or disaggregated rat OCL preparations on dentin slices, they were stained with Mayer's hematoxylin. The stained area corresponded exactly with the resorption pits visualized by scanning electron microscopy and were measured using an image analysis system attached to a light microscope. Pit formation by MNCs was gradually enhanced by reducing the medium pH (pH 7.5 < 7.2 < 6.9). The plan area resorbed by MNCs increased linearly for up to 72 h. These results are very similar to those obtained with OCL preparations. In multiple standard assays with MNC preparations, more than 250 MNCs could be placed on a dentin slice, and the total area resorbed to a level of up to 9% of the whole surface within 48 h. In contrast, in multiple assays with OCL preparations, it was not easy to place more than 50 OCLs on a slice and the resorbed area was only 0.7% of the surface.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
