Objective  To investigate the effect ofstaphylococcal lipoteichoic acid (LTA-sa) on RAW264.7 cells differentiation into osteoclasts. Methods  RAW264.7 cells were cultured with LTA-sa of 100 ng/mL (group A), LTA-sa of 200 ng/mL (group B), LTA-sa of 400 ng/mL (group C), receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL) of 100 ng/mL as positive control (group D), and equal volume of PBS as blank control (group E) respectively for 5 days. And then, tartrate resistant acid phosphatase staining (TRAP) was used to detect the formation of osteoclast-like cells, Image-Pro Plus 6.0 software to measure the areas of bone resorption pits in Corning Osteo Assay Surface (COAS) wells, and MTT assay to observe the proliferation activity of RAW264.7 cells in group A, B, C, and E. Results  After cultured for 5 days, the formation of osteoclast-like cells and bone resorption pits were observed in all groups. The number of osteoclast-like cells and the area of bone resorption pits in groups A, B, C, and D were more than those in group E. And with the increased concentration of LTA-sa, the indexes in groups A, B, and C increased gradually, but were lower than those in group D, and differences were significant between groups (P<0.05). At 5 days after culture, there was no significant difference in absorbance value among the experimental groups (groups A, B, C, and E) (P>0.05). Conclusion  LTA-sa has promoting effect on RAW264.7 cells differentiation into osteoclasts.
