Abstract
Osteoclasts and dendritic cells are derived from monocyte/macrophage precursor cells; however, how their lineage commitment is regulated is unknown. This study investigated the differentiation pathways of osteoclasts and dendritic cells from common precursor cells at the single-cell level. Osteoclastogenesis induced by macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is completely inhibited by addition of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or interleukin-3 at early stages of differentiation. GM-CSF-treated cells express both c-Fms and RANK and also low levels of CD11c and DEC205, which are detected on dendritic cells. Addition of GM-CSF also reduces expression of both c-Fos and Fra-1, which is an important event for inhibition of osteoclastogenesis. Overexpression of c-Fos by retroviral infection or induction in transgenic mice can rescue a failure in osteoclast differentiation even in the presence of GM-CSF. By contrast, differentiation into dendritic cells is inhibited by M-CSF, indicating that M-CSF and GM-CSF reciprocally regulate the differentiation of both lineages. Dendritic cell maturation is also inhibited when c-Fos is expressed at an early stage of differentiation. Taken together, these findings suggest that c-Fos is a key mediator of the lineage commitment between osteoclasts and dendritic cells. The lineage determination of osteoclast progenitors seen following GM-CSF treatment functions through the regulation of c-Fos expression.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
