Hypoxia-inducible factor regulates osteoclast-mediated bone resorption: role of angiopoietin-like 4.

ABSTRACT: Hypoxia and the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) transcription factor regulate angiogenic-osteogenic coupling and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. To determine how HIF might coordinate osteoclast and osteoblast function, we studied angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4), the top HIF target gene in an Illumina HumanWG-6 v3.0 48k array of normoxic vs. hypoxic osteoclasts differentiated from human CD14(+) monocytes (14.3-fold induction, P<0.0004). ANGPTL4 mRNA and protein were induced by 24 h at 2% O(2) in human primary osteoclasts, monocytes, and osteoblasts. ANGPTL4 protein was observed by immunofluorescence in osteoclasts and osteoblasts in vivo. Normoxic inducers of HIF (CoCl(2), desferrioxamine, and l-mimosine) and 100 ng/ml ANGPTL4 stimulated osteoclastic resorption 2- to 3-fold in assays of lacunar dentine resorption, without affecting osteoclast viability. Isoform-specific HIF-1? small interfering RNA ablated hypoxic induction of ANGPTL4 and of resorption, which was rescued by addition of exogenous ANGPTL4 (P<0.001). In the osteoblastic Saos2 cell line, ANGPTL4 caused a dose-dependent increase in proliferation (P<0.01, 100 ng/ml) and, at lower doses (1-25 ng/ml), mineralization. These results demonstrate that HIF is sufficient to enhance osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and that ANGPTL4 can compensate for HIF-1? deficiency with respect to stimulation of osteoclast activity and also augments osteoblast proliferation and differentiation.

Project description:ObjectiveHypoxia occurs in tumors, infections, and sites of inflammation, such as in the affected joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It alleviates inflammatory responses and increases bone resorption in inflammatory arthritis by enhancing osteoclastogenesis. The mechanism by which the hypoxia response is linked to osteoclastogenesis and inflammatory bone resorption is unclear. This study was undertaken to evaluate whether the protein lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) metabolically integrates inflammatory osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in a state of inflammatory arthritis.MethodsLSD1-specific inhibitors and gene silencing with small interfering RNAs were used to inhibit the expression of LSD1 in human osteoclast precursor cells derived from CD14-positive monocytes, with subsequent assessment by RNA-sequencing analysis. In experimental mouse models of arthritis, inflammatory osteolysis, or osteoporosis, features of accelerated bone loss and inflammatory osteolysis were analyzed. Furthermore, in blood samples from patients with RA, cis-acting expression quantitative trait loci (cis-eQTL) were analyzed for association with the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), and associations between HIF-1α allelic variants and extent of bone erosion were evaluated.ResultsIn human osteoclast precursor cells, RANKL induced the expression of LSD1 in a mechanistic target of rapamycin-dependent manner. Expression of LSD1 was higher in synovium from RA patients than in synovium from osteoarthritis patients. Inhibition of LSD1 in human osteoclast precursors suppressed osteoclast differentiation. Results of transcriptome analysis identified several LSD1-mediated hypoxia and cell-cycle pathways as key genetic pathways involved in human osteoclastogenesis. Furthermore, HIF-1α protein, which is rapidly degraded by the proteasome in a normoxic environment, was found to be expressed in RANKL-stimulated osteoclast precursor cells. Induction of LSD1 by RANKL stabilized the expression of HIF-1α protein, thereby promoting glycolysis, in conjunction with up-regulation of the transcription factor E2F1. Analyses of cis-eQTL revealed that higher HIF-1α expression was associated with increased bone erosion in patients with RA. Inhibition of LSD1 decreased pathologic bone resorption in mice, both in models of accelerated osteoporosis and models of arthritis and inflammatory osteolysis.ConclusionLSD1 metabolically regulates osteoclastogenesis in an energy-demanding inflammatory environment. These findings provide potential new therapeutic strategies targeting osteoclasts in the management of inflammatory arthritis, including in patients with RA.

Project description:ObjectiveAutoantibodies are detected in most patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and can be of the IgM, IgG or IgA subclass. Correlations between IgA autoantibodies and more severe disease activity have been previously reported, but the functional role of IgA autoantibodies in the pathogenesis of RA is ill understood. In this study, we explored the effect of IgA immune complexes on osteoclast mediated bone resorption.MethodsAnti-citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) and anti-carbamylated protein (anti-CarP) antibody levels of the IgA and IgG isotype and rheumatoid factor (RF) IgA were determined in synovial fluid (SF) of RA patients. Monocytes, neutrophils, and osteoclasts were stimulated with precipitated immune complexes from SF of RA patients or IgA- and IgG-coated beads. Activation was determined by neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) release, cytokine secretion, and bone resorption.ResultsNET formation by neutrophils was enhanced by SF immune complexes compared to immune complexes from healthy or RA serum. Monocytes stimulated with isolated SF immune complexes released IL-6 and IL-8, which correlated with the levels of ACPA IgA levels in SF. Osteoclasts cultured in the presence of supernatant of IgA-activated monocytes resorbed significantly more bone compared to osteoclasts that were cultured in supernatant of IgG-activated monocytes (p=0.0233). Osteoclasts expressed the Fc receptor for IgA (FcαRI; CD89) and Fc gamma receptors. IgA-activated osteoclasts however produced significantly increased levels of IL-6 (p<0.0001) and IL-8 (p=0.0007) compared to IgG-activated osteoclasts. Both IL-6 (p=0.03) and IL-8 (p=0.0054) significantly enhanced bone resorption by osteoclasts.ConclusionIgA autoantibodies induce release of IL-6 and IL-8 by immune cells as well as osteoclasts, which enhances bone resorption by osteoclasts. We anticipate that this will result in more severe disease activity in RA patients. Targeting IgA-FcαRI interactions therefore represents a promising novel therapeutic strategy for RA patients with IgA autoantibodies.
