Induction of multinucleated giant cell formation from human blood-derived monocytes by phorbol myristate acetate in in vitro culture
Abstract
Multinucleated giant cells (MGC) of mononuclear phagocyte origin occur in different tissues in various inflammatory states and pathological conditions. Although MGC are believed to be derived from monocyte-derived macrophages by fusion, their mechanism of formation is not known. In this study, we investigated the role of PMA, a protein kinase C activator, in the induction and formation of MGC from blood monocyte-derived macrophages in in vitro culture. The addition of PMA (1 x 10(-9) to 8 x 10(-8) M) to 3-wk-old cultures of blood-derived monocytes induces cell fusion with a 30% to 80% fusion rate. Moreover, IFN-gamma-treated blood-derived monocyte cultures showed an additional enhancement of fusion rate with the addition of PMA. 1(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride, a protein kinase inhibitor, inhibited the formation of macrophage-derived giant cells when added before phorbol ester and IFN-gamma. These findings suggest that protein kinase C may play an important role in the formation of macrophage-derived MGC.
