Low-dose ?-radiation inhibits IL-1?-induced dedifferentiation and inflammation of articular chondrocytes via blockage of catenin signaling.


ABSTRACT: Although low-dose radiation (LDR) regulates a wide range of biological processes, limited information is available on the effects of LDR on the chondrocyte phenotype. Here, we found that LDR, at doses of 0.5-2 centiGray (cGy), inhibited interleukin (IL)-1?-induced chondrocyte destruction without causing side effects, such as cell death and senescence. IL-1? treatment induced an increase in the expression of ?-, ?-, and ?-catenin proteins in chondrocytes via Akt signaling, thereby promoting dedifferentiation through catenin-dependent suppression of Sox-9 transcription factor expression and induction of inflammation through activation of the NF-?B pathway. Notably, LDR blocked cartilage disorders by inhibiting IL-1?-induced catenin signaling and subsequent catenin-dependent suppression of the Sox-9 pathway and activation of the NF-?B pathway, without directly altering catenin expression. LDR also inhibited chondrocyte destruction through the catenin pathway induced by epidermal growth factor, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, and retinoic acid. Collectively, these results identify the molecular mechanisms by which LDR suppresses pathophysiological processes and establish LDR as a potentially valuable therapeutic tool for patients with cytokine- or soluble factors-mediated cartilage disorders.
