This study is focused on assessing the activation in NK, CD3+ T, and γδ T cells when they interact with osteoclasts (OCs) and monocytes in the presence or absence of zoledronate (ZOL), both in humans and WT mice. OCs resulted in increased IFN-γ secretion in NK, CD3+ T, and γδ T cells, however, the significantly highest increase was seen when cells were co-cultured with ZOL-treated OCs. Our previous studies have demonstrated increased IFN-γ secretion in the peripheral blood-derived immune cells of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) mice model. This could be due to increased OCs-induced activation of immune cells with ZOL treatment. We also observed increased IFN-γ secretion in humanized-BLT (hu-BLT) mice NK cells when were co-cultured with OCs or monocytes, and higher IFN-γ secretion levels were seen in the presence of OCs or ZOL-treated OCs. In addition, similar effects on IFN-γ secretion levels of NK, CD3+ T, and γδ T cells were seen whether cells were co-cultured with allogeneic OCs or autologous OCs.
