Osteoclast fusion and bone loss are restricted by interferon inducible guanylate binding proteins.

ABSTRACT: Chronic inflammation during many diseases is associated with bone loss. While interferons (IFNs) are often inhibitory to osteoclast formation, the complex role that IFN and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) play in osteoimmunology during inflammatory diseases is still poorly understood. We show that mice deficient in IFN signaling components including IFN alpha and beta receptor 1 (IFNAR1), interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1), IRF9, and STAT1 each have reduced bone density and increased osteoclastogenesis compared to wild type mice. The IFN-inducible guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) on mouse chromosome 3 (GBP1, GBP2, GBP3, GBP5, GBP7) are required to negatively regulate age-associated bone loss and osteoclastogenesis. Mechanistically, GBP2 and GBP5 both negatively regulate in vitro osteoclast differentiation, and loss of GBP5, but not GBP2, results in greater age-associated bone loss in mice. Moreover, mice deficient in GBP5 or chromosome 3 GBPs have greater LPS-mediated inflammatory bone loss compared to wild type mice. Overall, we find that GBP5 contributes to restricting age-associated and inflammation-induced bone loss by negatively regulating osteoclastogenesis.

Project description:BackgroundSarcopenia is defined as an age-related progressive loss of muscle mass and/or strength. Although different factors can contribute to this disease, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We assessed transcriptional heterogeneity in skeletal muscles from sarcopenic and control mice at single-cell resolution.MethodsA mouse model was established to study sarcopenic skeletal muscles. Single-cell RNA-seq was performed on tibialis anterior (TA) muscle cells collected from sarcopenic and control mice. A series of bioinformatic analyses were carried out to identify and compare different cell types under different conditions. Immunofluorescence staining and western blotting were used to validate the findings from single-cell experiments. Tube formation assays were conducted to further evaluate the effects of Gbp2 on endothelial cells during angiogenesis.ResultsA murine sarcopenia model was successfully established using a senescence-accelerated mouse strain (SAMP6, n = 5). Sarcopenia phenotype was induced by administration of dexamethasone (20 mg/kg) and reduced physical activity. Senescence-resistant mice strain (SAMR1) and SAMP6 strain with similar activity but injected with PBS were recruited as two control groups. As signs of sarcopenia, body weight, muscle cell counts and cross-sectional fibre area were all significantly decreased in sarcopenic mice (P value = 0.004, 0.03 and 0.035, respectively). After quality control, 13 612 TA muscle single-cell transcriptomes were retained for analysis. Fourteen cell clusters were identified from the profiled cells. Among them, two distinct endothelial subtypes were found to be dominant in the sarcopenia group (42.2% cells) and in the two control groups (59.1% and 47.9% cells), respectively. 191 differentially expressed genes were detected between the two endothelial subtypes. Sarcopenia-specific endothelial cell subtype exhibited a dramatic increase in the interferon family genes and the interferon-inducible guanylate-binding protein (GBP) family gene expressions. For example, Igtp and Gbp2 in sarcopenic endothelial cells were 5.4 and 13.3 times higher than those in the control groups, respectively. We further validated our findings in muscle specimens of sarcopenia patients and observed that GBP2 levels were increased in endothelial cells of a subset of patients (11 of 40 patients, 27.5%), and we identified significantly higher CD31 and GBP2 co-localization (P value = 0.001128). Finally, we overexpressed Gbp2 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells in vitro. The endothelial cells with elevated Gbp2 expression displayed compromised tube formation.ConclusionsOur single-cell-based results suggested that endothelial cells may play critical roles in sarcopenia development through interferon-GBP signalling pathways, highlighting new therapeutic directions to slow down or even reverse age-related sarcopenia.
