In mouse bone marrow primary cultures, the formation of osteoclast-like, i.e. tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)- and calcitonin receptor-positive multinucleated cells (MNC), when induced by 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1alpha,25(OH)2D3), can be suppressed by 17beta-estradiol (17beta-E2), whereas 17alpha-E2 is without any effect. 17beta-E2, above 10(-11) M, significantly reduced 1alpha,25(OH)2D3-mediated TRAP+ MNC formation in cultured bone marrow cells from both female and male mice. The estrogen at 10(-8) M suppressed the peak response to the vitamin D sterol by 50%. 17beta-E2 significantly suppressed basal and 1alpha,25(OH)2D3-stimulated cellular production of interleukin (IL)-6. IL-6 alone, although bone marrow cells in hormone-free culture produced appreciable amounts of the cytokine, did not induce any TRAP+ MNC. Therefore, the changes in IL-6 production induced by the hormones could not be the sole determinant for the extent of TRAP+ MNC formation. However, the stimulatory effect of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 on osteoclastogenesis nevertheless can be significantly reduced by a neutralizing monoclonal anti-IL-6 antibody. In the presence of 10(-8) M 17beta-E2, the anti-IL-6 monoclonal antibody does not achieve any further suppression of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3-related osteoclast-like cell formation. Our data suggest that induction of osteoclastogenesis by 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 is partially dependent on IL-6 signaling and can be modulated by 17beta-E2 through interference with IL-6 receptor activation, in addition to inhibition of IL-6 production by marrow stromal cells.
