• IL-33 elicited osteoclast formation in cultured human adult monocytes.
• This osteoclast formation occurred in the absence of RANKL.
• Not all monocyte samples responded to IL-33, but all responded to RANKL.
• IL-33 treated RAW264.7 cells formed osteoclasts if co-treated with TGFβ.
• IL-33 treated mouse bone marrow derived cells did not form osteoclasts.
Osteoclasts are bone resorbing multinucleated cells (MNCs) derived from macrophage progenitors. IL-33 has been reported to drive osteoclastogenesis independently of receptor activator of NFκB ligand (RANKL) but this remains controversial as later studies did not confirm this. We found IL-33 clearly elicited functional dentine-resorbing osteoclast formation from human adult monocytes. However, monocytes from only 3 of 12 donors responded this way, while all responded to RANKL. Human cord blood-derived progenitors and murine bone marrow macrophages lacked an osteoclastogenic response to IL-33. In RAW264.7 cells, IL-33 elicited NFκB and p38 responses but not NFATc1 signals (suggesting poor osteoclastogenic responses) and formed only mononuclear tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase positive (TRAP+) cells. Since TGFβ boosts osteoclastogenesis in RAW264.7 cells we employed an IL-33/TGFβ co-treatment, which resulted in small numbers of MNCs expressing key osteoclast markers TRAP and calcitonin receptors. Thus, IL-33 possesses weak osteoclastogenic activity suggesting pathological significance and, perhaps, explaining previous conflicting reports.
