摘要
As both tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) and TIMP-2 have been reported to inhibit bone resorption, we examined whether TIMP-1 or TIMP-2 in fetal calf serum (FCS), with which culture media were supplemented, affected osteoclastic bone resorption in vitro. Contrary to our expectation, almost complete suppression of osteoclastic bone resorption was observed when both TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 were removed from the FCS. Bone resorption was, however, almost fully restored by the addition of recombinant TIMPs. TIMPs stimulate bone resorption at significantly lower concentrations (∼ng/ml) than those (∼μg/ml) required to inhibit bone resorption. To understand the mechanism of TIMP-dependent bone resorption, we counted and compared the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-(TRAP-) positive and multinuclear cells in cultures containing either 10%FCS or TIMP-1-free and/or TIMP-2-free FCS. There was essentially no difference in number among these, suggesting that the TIMP role seems to be related to the functional expression of osteoclasts. Metallo-proteinase inhibitors, either BE16627B[l-N-(N-hydroxy-2-isobutylsuccinynamoyl)-seryl-l-valine] or R94138 {N-methyl-(3S)-2-[(2R)-2-hydroxycarbamoylmethylundecanoyl] hexahydropyridazine-3-carboxamide}, could not replace TIMPs, suggesting that the osteoclast-stimulating activity of TIMPs cannot be ascribed to merely their inhibitory effect on matrix metalloproteinases.
