Area of Science:

  • Bone Biology and Skeletal Disorders
  • Cellular and Molecular Medicine

Background:

  • Peripheral blood monocytes (PBMs) are key precursors for osteoclasts, the cells responsible for bone resorption.
  • PBMs are essential for adult peripheral skeleton osteoclastogenesis, especially where bone marrow is inactive.
  • PBMs secrete cytokines that critically regulate osteoclast differentiation, activation, and apoptosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the origin and differentiation of PBMs.
  • To discuss the relationship between PBMs and osteoclasts.
  • To highlight the utility of PBMs in studying skeletal disorder pathophysiology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on PBMs and osteoclastogenesis.
  • Analysis of PBM cytokine profiles and their role in bone metabolism.
  • Examination of PBM abnormalities in relation to skeletal disorders.

Main Results:

  • PBMs are a unique and valuable cell model for bone-related research.
  • PBM-derived cytokines are vital for osteoclast function and are influenced by sex hormones.
  • Abnormalities in PBMs are linked to various skeletal disorders, confirming their relevance.

Conclusions:

  • PBMs play a central role in bone metabolism and are implicated in skeletal disorders.
  • Understanding PBM function is critical for developing therapeutic strategies for bone diseases.
  • PBMs offer a promising avenue for clinical and (epi-)genomic studies of human skeletal conditions.
