The Effect of Target Knockout, Knockdown or Genetic Variations The biological role of M-CSF in vivo has been studied mostly using the mutant osteopetrotic (op/op) mice, a natural model of M-CSF knock out. In op/op mice, the total absence ofM-CSF production is due to the insertion of a single base pair in the coding region of the M-CSF gene. The op/op mice are characterized by skeletal abnormalities, impaired fertility, low body weight,toothless phenotype and a severe deficiency in mature macrophages and osteoclasts. Repeated injections of recombinant h uMan M-CSF (rhM-CSF) to op/op mice correct osteopetrosis and the toothless phenotype, osteoclasts and restore normal n uMbers of spleen and femoral macrophages, but have no effect on the deficiencies of pleural and peritoneal macrophages or on the reduced female fertility. Thus,in vivo, soluble M-CSF induces the proliferation, differentiation and bone resorbing activity of osteoclasts from earlier hematopoietic progenitors. However, in vitro, soluble M-CSF increases migration, chemotaxis, spreading and survival, but reduces the resorbing activity of isolated osteoclasts [120, 121]. This suggests that other forms of M-CSF or other cytokines acting in combination with it,may contribute to the physiological regulation of osteoclast activity. This hypothesis is reinforced by the fact that it has been possible to purify the PG-M-CSF isoform from bone matrix and that cultured osteoblasts synthesize membrane and matrix-bound M-CSF. [530727]
