Elevated levels of TNF-?, IL-1? and IL-6 in the synovial tissue of patients with labral tear: a comparative study with hip osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Labral tear can be the initiating factor in the onset of hip osteoarthritis (HOA). However, the physiopathology of labral tear is not fully understood. Our aim was to compare synovial tissue inflammatory cytokine levels between patients with labral tear and late-stage HOA.

Methods

Synovial tissue from sites showing the greatest inflammation was harvested from 106 hips from 100 subjects during hip surgery. RNA was extracted, and levels of TNFA, IL1B, IL6 and COX2 mRNA were compared among all patients using real-time PCR. Additionally, we examined whether femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) was associated with elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines in patients with labral tear. To analyze the effects of TNF-? on inflammatory mediators in hip synovial tissue, synovial fibroblasts were extracted from hip synovial tissue of patients with labral tear and late-stage HOA (n?=?5 each). Mononuclear cells were extracted from synovial tissue, cultured for 7?days, and stimulated with control or 10?ng/mL human recombinant TNF-? for 1?day. mRNA was extracted from stimulated cells and IL1B, IL6, and COX2 levels were determined using real-time PCR.

Results

TNFA, IL1B, and COX2 expression in synovial tissue were significantly higher in patients with labral tear than late-stage HOA (TNFA, p?ConclusionsTNFA, IL1B, and COX2 expression were elevated in the synovial tissue of patients with labral tear. Further investigations are needed to reveal the relationship between inflammatory cytokine levels and various aspects of labral tear pathology, including pain and the onset and progression of OA.

Project description:ObjectiveIn this work, we examine the molecular basis for capillary tube regression and identify key proregressive factors, signaling pathways, and pharmacological antagonists of this process. Approach and Results: We demonstrate that the proinflammatory mediators, IL (interleukin)-1β, TNF (tumor necrosis factor) α, and thrombin, singly and in combination, are potent regulators of capillary tube regression in vitro. These proregressive factors, when added to endothelial cell-pericyte cocultures, led to selective loss of endothelial cell-lined tube networks, with retention and proliferation of pericytes despite the marked destruction of adjacent capillary tubes. Moreover, treatment of macrophages with the TLR (toll-like receptor) agonists Pam3CSK4 and lipopolysaccharide generates conditioned media with marked proregressive activity, that is completely blocked by a combination of neutralizing antibodies directed to IL-1β and TNFα but not to other factors. The same combination of blocking antibodies, as well as the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, interfere with macrophage-dependent hyaloid vasculature regression in mice suggesting that proinflammatory cytokine signaling regulates capillary regression in vivo. In addition, we identified a capillary regression signaling signature in endothelial cells downstream of these proregressive agents that is characterized by increased levels of ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule-1), phospho-p38, and phospho-MLC2 (myosin light chain-2) and decreased levels of phospho-Pak2, acetylated tubulin, phospho-cofilin, and pro-caspase3. Finally, we identified combinations of pharmacological agents (ie, FIST and FISTSB) that markedly rescue the proregressive activities of IL-1β, TNFα, and thrombin, individually and in combination.ConclusionsOverall, these new studies demonstrate that the major proinflammatory mediators, IL-1β, TNFα, and thrombin, are key regulators of capillary tube regression-a critical pathological process regulating human disease.
