The Adenosine A2B Receptor Drives Osteoclast-Mediated Bone Resorption in Hypoxic Microenvironments.

ABSTRACT: Osteoclast-mediated bone destruction is amplified in the hypoxic synovial microenvironment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This increased bone resorption is driven by the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor HIF. We identified hypoxic induction of the HIF-regulated adenosine A2B receptor in primary human osteoclasts (mRNA, 3.8-fold increase, p < 0.01) and sought to identify the role(s) of purinergic signaling via this receptor in the bone resorption process. Primary human osteoclasts were differentiated from CD14+ monocytes and exposed to hypoxia (2% O2) and A2B receptor inhibitors (MRS1754, PSB603). The hypoxic increase in bone resorption was prevented by the inhibition of the A2B receptor, at least partly by the attenuation of glycolytic and mitochondrial metabolism via inhibition of HIF. A2B receptor inhibition also reduced osteoclastogenesis in hypoxia by inhibiting early cell fusion (day 3-4, p < 0.05). The A2B receptor is only functional in hypoxic or inflammatory environments when the extracellular concentrations of adenosine (1.6-fold increase, p < 0.05) are sufficient to activate the receptor. Inhibition of the A2B receptor under normoxic conditions therefore did not affect any parameter tested. Reciprocal positive regulation of HIF and the A2B receptor in a hypoxic microenvironment thus enhances glycolytic and mitochondrial metabolism in osteoclasts to drive increased bone resorption. A2B receptor inhibition could potentially prevent the pathological osteolysis associated with hypoxic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

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.

Project description:Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLTR1) is a G protein-coupled receptor for the inflammatory lipid mediators cysteinyl leukotrienes, which are involved in smooth muscle constriction, vascular permeability, and macrophage chemokine release. The Cysltr1 gene encoding CysLTR1 is expressed in the macrophage lineage, including osteoclasts, and the CysLTR1 antagonist Montelukast has been shown to suppress the formation of osteoclasts. However, it currently remains unclear whether CysLTR1 is involved in osteoclast differentiation and bone loss. Therefore, to clarify the role of CysLTR1 in osteoclastogenesis and pathological bone loss, we herein generated CysLTR1 loss-of-function mutant mice by disrupting the cysltr1 gene using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. These mutant mice had a frameshift mutation resulting in a premature stop codon (Cysltr1 KO) or an in-frame mutation causing the deletion of the first extracellular loop (Cysltr1Δ105). Bone marrow macrophages (BMM) from these mutant mice lost the intracellular flux of calcium in response to leukotriene D4, indicating that these mutants completely lost the activity of CysLTR1 without triggering genetic compensation. However, disruption of the Cysltr1 gene did not suppress the formation of osteoclasts from BMM in vitro. We also demonstrated that the CysLTR1 antagonist Montelukast suppressed the formation of osteoclasts without functional CysLTR1. On the other hand, disruption of the Cysltr1 gene partially suppressed the formation of osteoclasts stimulated by leukotriene D4 and did not inhibit that by glutathione, functioning as a substrate in the synthesis of cysteinyl leukotrienes. Disruption of the Cysltr1 gene did not affect ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis or lipopolysaccharide-induced bone resorption. Collectively, these results suggest that the CysLT-CysLTR1 axis is dispensable for osteoclast differentiation in vitro and pathological bone loss, while the leukotriene D4-CysTR1 axis is sufficient to stimulate osteoclast formation. We concluded that the effects of glutathione and Montelukast on osteoclast formation were independent of CysLTR1.

Project description:Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a known risk factor for the postoperative outcome of patients undergoing liver surgery/transplantation. Attempts to protect from organ damage require multidisciplinary strategies and are of emerging interest in view of patients with higher age and American Society of Anesthesiology status. Ischemic preconditioning has been successfully applied to prevent from IRI during liver resection/transplantation. Because even short periods of ischemia during preconditioning inevitably lead to hypoxia and formation of anti-inflammatory/cytoprotective acting adenosine, we reasoned that short nonischemic hypoxia also protects against hepatic IRI.Mice underwent hypoxic preconditioning (HPC) by breathing 10% oxygen for 10 min followed by 10 min of 21% oxygen before left liver lobe ischemia (45 min) and reperfusion (4 hr). The interactions of hypoxia?adenosine?adenosine receptors were tested by pharmacologic antagonism at adenosine receptor (AR) sites in wild-type mice and in mice with genetic deletions at the A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 ARs. Hepatocellular damage, inflammation, and metabolic effects were quantified by enzyme activities, cytokines, liver myeloperoxidase, blood adenosine, and tissue AMP, respectively.Hepatoprotection by HPC was significant in wild-type and A1, A2A, and A3 AR knockout mice as quantified by lower alanine aminotransferase serum activities, cytokine levels, histologic damage scores, tissue myeloperoxidase concentrations, and preserved AMP concentrations. Protection by HPC was blunted in mice pretreated with the A2B AR antagonist MRS1754 or in A2B AR knockout mice.Because liver protective effects of HPC are negated when the A2B receptor is nonfunctional, the hypoxia?adenosine?A2B receptor pathway plays a critical role in the prevention of warm IRI in vivo. Hypoxic activation of this pathway warrants use of selective A2B AR agonists or even intermittent hypoxia (e.g., in deceased organ donors) to protect from liver IRI.
