M1 macrophage-derived oncostatin M induces osteogenic differentiation of ligamentum flavum cells through the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

ABSTRACT:

Background

M1 macrophages (Mφs) are involved in osteogenic differentiation of ligamentum flavum (LF) cells and play an important role in heterotopic ossification. However, the mechanism by which M1 Mφs influence osteogenic differentiation of LF cells has not been studied.

Methods

The effect of conditioned medium including secretions of M1 Mφs (CM-M1) on LF cells was analyzed by GeneChip profiling and ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA). THP-1 cells were polarized into M1 Mφs and CM-M1 was used to induce LF cells. In addition, LF cells were induced by CM-M1 in the presence of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitors or oncostatin M (OSM)-neutralizing antibodies. Based on the presence of OSM, knockout of OSMR or GP130 receptors, or addition of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) inhibitor AZD1480 or signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) inhibitor Stattic were examined for effects on osteogenic differentiation of LF cells. OSM secretion was quantified by ELISA, while qPCR and western blot were used to evaluate expression of osteogenic genes and receptor and signaling pathway-related proteins, respectively.

Results

GeneChip and IPA results indicate that the OSM signaling pathway and its downstream signaling molecules JAK2 and STAT3 are significantly activated. ELISA results indicate that OSM is highly expressed in cells treated with CM-M1 and lowly expressed in cells treated with CM-M1 and a COX-2 inhibitor. Besides, CM-M1 induces osteogenic differentiation of LF cells, which is weakened when COX-2 inhibitors or OSM-neutralizing antibody are added to it. Recombinant OSM could induce osteogenic differentiation of LF cells and upregulate expression of OSMR, GP130, phosphorylated (P)-JAK2, and P-STAT3. Upon knockdown of OSMR or GP130, or the addition of AZD1480 or Stattic, P-JAK2 and P-STAT3 expression were decreased and osteogenic differentiation was reduced.

Conclusion

M1 Mφ-derived OSM induces osteogenic differentiation of LF cells and the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway plays an important role.

Project description:BackgroundZhiqiao Gancao decoction (ZQGCD) was created by Professor Gong Zhengfeng, a renowned Chinese medicine expert. Clinical studies have shown its efficacy in alleviating pain and enhancing lumbar function in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) patients. However, the precise mechanism of ZQGCD in treating IDD remains unclear.MethodsThe active components of ZQGCD were identified using Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A rat model of intervertebral disc degeneration was established, and rats in each group received ZQGCD for three weeks. Assessment parameters included hyperalgesia status, observation of intervertebral disc tissue degeneration and macrophage infiltration, and analysis of JAK2/STAT3 pathway protein expression in the intervertebral disc. Primary macrophage M1 polarization was induced using LPS, with cells treated using the JAK2 inhibitor (AZD1480) and ZQGCD to evaluate macrophage polarization, cellular supernatant inflammatory factors, and JAK2/STAT3 pathway expression. Macrophage supernatant served as a conditioned medium to observe its effects on the proliferation of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) and the expression of collagen II and MMP3 proteins.ResultsA total of 81 active components were identified in ZQGCD. Following ZQGCD treatment, infiltrating macrophages in intervertebral disc tissues of model rats decreased, the content of M1 macrophages decreased, while the content of M2 macrophages increased, the expression of proinflammatory factors and pain-inducing factors in serum decreased, and the expression of substance P in intervertebral disc tissue decreased. Consequently, the intervertebral disc degeneration and hyperalgesia of rats were improved. In vitro studies revealed that LPS induced M1 macrophage polarization. By inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, both JAK2 inhibitors and ZQGCD effectively suppressed M1 polarization, resulting in decreased levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and various other inflammatory factors. Consequently, this inhibition led to a delay in the degeneration of NPCs.ConclusionThere is macrophage infiltration in the intervertebral disc tissue of IDD rats, and JAK2/STAT3 pathway is activated, macrophages are polarized to M1 type, resulting in inflammatory microenvironment, leading to intervertebral disc degeneration and hyperalgesia. ZQGCD exhibited a delaying effect on IDD and improved hyperalgesia by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3/macrophage M1 polarization pathway.
