Summary
Besides other bone cells only osteoclasts (OC) contain the enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA) which is needed for acid production. OC may be derived from monocytes and/or macrophages which tend to fuse under the influence of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). To examine whether these multinucleated cells are OC, bone marrow macrophages were incubated in the presence of 10-8 to 10-6 moles/l 1,25(OH)2D3 and CA and acid phosphatase activity were determined. Macrophages already contain some phosphatase but no CA. After 96 hours of incubation a two to three fold increase in acid phosphatase activity and CA activity of 5·10-4 U/cell were found. These cells therefore developed a property typical for OC.
