Interleukin-6 Promotes Proliferation but Inhibits Tenogenic Differentiation via the Janus Kinase/Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription 3 (JAK/STAT3) Pathway in Tendon-Derived Stem Cells.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND Previous studies demonstrated that tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) were vital healing cells and that mRNA expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 was significantly upregulated in injured tendons. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of IL-6 on the TDSCs in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS TDSCs isolated from the Achilles tendons in SD rats were co-cultured with various concentrations of IL-6. Cell proliferation, cell cycle analysis, quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting analysis, and statistical analysis were used in the study. RESULTS The result showed that IL-6 strongly increased proliferation capability, and induced cell cycle activation and transition into G2/M phase from G1 phase in TDSCs. However, IL-6 treatment strongly inhibited gene expression of Scleraxis, Collagen 1, Tenomodulin, Collagen 3, Early Growth Response Protein 1, Decorin, Lumican, Biglycan and Fibromodulin in TDSCs. It also strongly inhibited protein expression of tendon cell markers like scleraxis, collagen 1, collagen 3, and tenomodulin. IL-6 treatment strongly activated the JAK/Stat3 signaling pathway in TDSCs. Furthermore, WP1066, a JAK/Stat3 signaling pathway inhibitor, abrogated the effects of IL-6 on TDSCs. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicated that IL-6 might exert dual effects on TDSCs in vitro: strongly enhancing their proliferation but inhibiting their tenogenic differentiation via the JAK/Stat3 pathway.

Project description:ObjectivePsoriasis and multiple sclerosis (MS) are complex immune diseases that are mediated by T cells and share multiple comorbidities. Previous studies have suggested psoriatic patients are at higher risk of MS; however, causal relationships between the two conditions remain unclear. Through epidemiology and genetics, we provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship, and share molecular factors between psoriasis and MS.MethodsWe used logistic regression, trans-disease meta-analysis and Mendelian randomization. Medical claims data were included from 30 million patients, including 141,544 with MS and 742,919 with psoriasis. We used genome-wide association study summary statistics from 11,024 psoriatic, 14,802 MS cases, and 43,039 controls for trans-disease meta-analysis, with additional summary statistics from 5 million individuals for Mendelian randomization.ResultsPsoriatic patients have a significantly higher risk of MS (4,637 patients with both diseases; odds ratio [OR] 1.07, p = 1.2 × 10-5 ) after controlling for potential confounders. Using inverse variance and equally weighted trans-disease meta-analysis, we revealed >20 shared and opposing (direction of effect) genetic loci outside the major histocompatibility complex that showed significant genetic colocalization (in COLOC and COLOC-SuSiE v5.1.0). Co-expression analysis of genes from these loci further identified distinct clusters that were enriched among pathways for interleukin-17/tumor necrosis factor-α (OR >39, p < 1.6 × 10-3 ) and Janus kinase-signal transducers and activators of transcription (OR 35, p = 1.1 × 10-5 ), including genes, such as TNFAIP3, TYK2, and TNFRSF1A. Mendelian randomization found psoriasis as an exposure has a significant causal effect on MS (OR 1.04, p = 5.8 × 10-3 ), independent of type 1 diabetes (OR 1.05, p = 4.3 × 10-7 ), type 2 diabetes (OR 1.08, p = 2.3 × 10-3 ), inflammatory bowel disease (OR 1.11, p = 1.6 × 10-11 ), and vitamin D level (OR 0.75, p = 9.4 × 10-3 ).InterpretationBy investigating the shared genetics of psoriasis and MS, along with their modifiable risk factors, our findings will advance innovations in treatment for patients suffering from comorbidities.
