Sterile triggers drive joint inflammation in TNF and IL-1beta dependent mouse arthritis models

ABSTRACT: Arthritis is the most common extra-intestinal complication in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Conversely, arthritis patients are at risk for developing IBD and often display subclinical gut inflammation. These observations suggest a shared disease etiology, commonly termed 'the gut-joint-axis'. The clinical association between gut and joint inflammation is further supported by the success of common therapeutic strategies and microbiota dysbiosis in both conditions. Most data however support a correlative relationship between gut & joint inflammation, while causative evidence is lacking. Using two independent transgenic mouse arthritis models, either TNF- or IL-1dependent, we demonstrate that arthritis develops independently of the microbiota and intestinal inflammation, since both lines develop full-blown articular inflammation under germ-free conditions. In contrast, TNF-driven gut inflammation is fully rescued in germ-free conditions, indicating that the microbiota is driving TNF-induced gut inflammation. Together, our study demonstrates that, although common inflammatory pathways may drive both gut and joint inflammation, the molecular triggers initiating such pathways are distinct in these tissues.

LACC1 Regulates TNF and IL-17 in Mouse Models of Arthritis and Inflammation.

Project description:Both common and rare genetic variants of laccase domain-containing 1 (LACC1, previously C13orf31) are associated with inflammatory bowel disease, leprosy, Behcet disease, and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. However, the functional relevance of these variants is unclear. In this study, we use LACC1-deficient mice to gain insight into the role of LACC1 in regulating inflammation. Following oral administration of Citrobacter rodentium, LACC1 knockout (KO) mice had more severe colon lesions compared with wildtype (WT) controls. Immunization with collagen II, a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model, resulted in an accelerated onset of arthritis and significantly worse arthritis and inflammation in LACC1 KO mice. Similar results were obtained in a mannan-induced arthritis model. Serum and local TNF in CIA paws and C. rodentium colons were significantly increased in LACC1 KO mice compared with WT controls. The percentage of IL-17A-producing CD4+ T cells was elevated in LACC1 KO mice undergoing CIA as well as aged mice compared with WT controls. Neutralization of IL-17, but not TNF, prevented enhanced mannan-induced arthritis in LACC1 KO mice. These data provide new mechanistic insight into the function of LACC1 in regulating TNF and IL-17 during inflammatory responses. We hypothesize that these effects contribute to immune-driven pathologies observed in individuals carrying LACC1 variants.

Baicalin inhibits IL-17-mediated joint inflammation in murine adjuvant-induced arthritis.

Project description:T-helper-17 (Th17) cells are implicated in a number of inflammatory disorders including rheumatoid arthritis. Antagonism of Th17 cells is a treatment option for arthritis. Here, we report that Baicalin, a compound isolated from the Chinese herb Huangqin (Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi), relieved ankle swelling and protected the joint against inflammatory destruction in a murine adjuvant-induced arthritis model. Baicalin inhibited splenic Th17 cell population expansion in vivo. Baicalin prevented interleukin- (IL-) 17-mediated lymphocyte adhesion to cultured synoviocytes. Baicalin also blocked IL-17-induced intercellular adhesion molecule 1, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha mRNA expression in cultured synoviocytes. Collectively, these findings suggest that Baicalin downregulates the joint inflammation caused by IL-17, which is likely produced by an expanded population of splenic Th17 cells in experimental arthritis. Baicalin might be a promising novel therapeutic agent for treating rheumatoid arthritis in humans.

Cytokine signaling-1 suppressor is inducible by IL-1beta and inhibits the catabolic effects of IL-1beta in chondrocytes: its implication in the paradoxical joint-protective role of IL-1beta.

Project description:Although IL-1? is believed to be crucial in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA), the IL-1? blockade brings no therapeutic benefit in human OA and results in OA aggravation in several animal models. We explored the role of a cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) suppressor as a regulatory modulator of IL-1? signaling in chondrocytes.Cartilage samples were obtained from patients with knee OA and those without OA who underwent surgery for femur-neck fracture. SOCS1 expression in cartilage was assessed with immunohistochemistry. IL-1?-induced SOCS1 expression in chondrocytes was analyzed with quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunoblot. The effect of SOCS1 on IL-1? signaling pathways and the synthesis of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and aggrecanase-1 was investigated in SOCS1-overexpressing or -knockdown chondrocytes.SOCS1 expression was significantly increased in OA cartilage, especially in areas of severe damage (P?<?0.01). IL-1? stimulated SOCS1 mRNA expression in a dose-dependent pattern (P?<?0.01). The IL-1?-induced production of MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-13, and ADAMTS-4 (aggrecanase-1, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4) was affected by SOCS1 overexpression or knockdown in both SW1353 cells and primary human articular chondrocytes (all P values?<?0.05). The inhibitory effects of SOCS1 were mediated by blocking p38, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and nuclear factor ?B (NF-?B) activation, and by downregulating transforming growth factor-?-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) expression.Our results show that SOCS1 is induced by IL1-? in OA chondrocytes and suppresses the IL-1?-induced synthesis of matrix-degrading enzymes by inhibiting IL-1? signaling at multiple levels. It suggests that the IL-1?-inducible SOCS1 acts as a negative regulator of the IL-1? response in OA cartilage.

NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor OLT1177 suppresses joint inflammation in murine models of acute arthritis.

Project description:BackgroundActivation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in gout amplifies the inflammatory response and mediates further damage. In the current study, we assessed the therapeutic effect of OLT1177, an orally active NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor that is safe in humans, in murine acute arthritis models.MethodsZymosan or monosodium urate (MSU) crystals were injected intra-articularly (i.a.) into mouse knee joints to induce reactive or gouty arthritis. Joint swelling, articular cell infiltration, and synovial cytokines were evaluated 25 hours and 4 hours following zymosan or MSU challenge, respectively. OLT1177 was administrated intraperitoneally by oral gavage or in the food by an OLT1177-enriched diet.ResultsOLT1177 reduced zymosan-induced joint swelling (p < 0.001), cell influx (p < 0.01), and synovial levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1) (p < 0.05), respectively, when compared with vehicle-treated mice. Plasma OLT1177 levels correlated (p < 0.001) dose-dependently with reduction in joint inflammation. Treatment of mice with OLT1177 limited MSU crystal articular inflammation (p > 0.0001), which was associated with decreased synovial IL-1β, IL-6, myeloperoxidase, and CXCL1 levels (p < 0.01) compared with vehicle-treated mice. When administrated orally 1 hour after MSU challenge, OLT1177 reduced joint inflammation, processing of IL-1β, and synovial phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase compared with the vehicle group. Mice were fed an OLT1177-enriched diet for 3 weeks and then challenged i.a. with MSU crystals. Joint swelling, synovial IL-1β, and expression of Nlrp3 and Il1b were significantly reduced in synovial tissues in mice fed an OLT1177-enriched diet when compared with the standard diet group.ConclusionsOral OLT1177 is highly effective in ameliorating reactive as well as gouty arthritis.

IL-1beta, IL-23, and TGF-beta drive plasticity of human ILC2s towards IL-17-producing ILCs in nasal inflammation

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are crucial for the immune surveillance at mucosal sites. ILCs coordinate early eradication of pathogens and contribute to tissue healing and remodelling, features that are dysfunctional in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The mechanisms by which ILCs contribute to CF-immunopathology are ill-defined. Here, we report that group 2 ILCs (ILC2s) transdifferentiated into IL-17-secreting cells in the presence of the epithelial derived-cytokines IL-1β, IL-23 and TGF-β. This conversion was abrogated by IL-4 or vitamin D3. IL-17 producing ILC2s induced IL-8 secretion by epithelial cells and their presence in nasal polyps of CF patients is associated with neutrophilia. Our data suggest that ILC2s undergo transdifferentiation in CF nasal polyps in response to local cytokines, which are induced by infectious agents.

Genetic sphingosine kinase 1 deficiency significantly decreases synovial inflammation and joint erosions in murine TNF-alpha-induced arthritis.

Project description:Sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) is an enzyme that converts sphingosine to bioactive sphingosine-1-phosphate. Recent in vitro data suggest a potential role of SphK1 in TNF-alpha-mediated inflammation. Our aims in this study were to determine the in vivo significance of SphK1 in TNF-alpha-mediated chronic inflammation and to define which pathogenic mechanisms induced by TNF-alpha are SphK1 dependent. To pursue these aims, we studied the effect of SphK1 deficiency in an in vivo model of TNF-alpha-induced chronic inflammatory arthritis. Transgenic hTNF-alpha mice, which develop spontaneous inflammatory erosive arthritis beginning at 14-16 wk, were crossed with SphK1 null mice (SphK1(-/-)), on the C57BL6 genetic background. Beginning at 4 mo of age, hTNF/SphK1(-/-) mice had significantly less severe clinically evident paw swelling and deformity, less synovial and periarticular inflammation, and markedly decreased bone erosions as measured quantitatively through micro-CT images. Mechanistically, the mice lacking SphK1 had less articular cyclooxygenase 2 protein and fewer synovial Th17 cells than did hTNF/SphK1(+/+) littermates. Microarray analysis and real-time RT-PCR of the ankle synovial tissue demonstrated that hTNF/SphK1(-/-) mice had increased transcript levels of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 compared with hTNF/SphK1(+/+) mice, likely also contributing to the decreased inflammation in the SphK1-deficient mice. Finally, significantly fewer mature osteoclasts were detected in the ankle joints of hTNF/SphK1(-/-) mice compared with hTNF/SphK1(+/+) mice. These data indicate that SphK1 plays a key role in hTNF-alpha-induced inflammatory arthritis via impacting synovial inflammation and osteoclast number.

Dynamic biomechanical strain inhibits IL-1beta-induced inflammation in vocal fold fibroblasts.

Project description:Despite the fact that vocal folds are subjected to extensive mechanical forces, the role of mechanical strain in vocal fold wound healing has been overlooked. Recent studies on other tissues have demonstrated that low physiological levels of mechanical forces are beneficial to injured tissues, reduce inflammation, and induce synthesis of matrix-associated proteins essential for enhanced wound healing. In this study, we speculated that mechanical strain of low magnitudes also attenuates the production of inflammatory mediators and alters the extracellular matrix synthesis to augment wound healing in cultured vocal fold fibroblasts. To test this hypothesis, fibroblasts from rabbit vocal folds were isolated and exposed to various magnitudes of cyclic tensile strain (CTS) in the presence or absence of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta). Results suggest that IL-1beta activates proinflammatory gene transcription in vocal fold fibroblasts. Furthermore, CTS abrogates the IL-1beta-induced proinflammatory gene induction in a magnitude-dependent manner. In addition, CTS blocks IL-1beta-mediated inhibition of collagen type I synthesis, and thereby upregulates collagen synthesis in the presence of IL-1beta. These findings are the first to reveal the potential utility of low levels of mechanical signals in vocal fold wound healing, and support the emerging on vivo data suggesting beneficial effects of vocal exercise on acute phonotrauma.

Autophagy controls IL-1beta secretion by targeting pro-IL-1beta for degradation.

Project description:Autophagy is a key regulator of cellular homeostasis that can be activated by pathogen-associated molecules and recently has been shown to influence IL-1β secretion by macrophages. However, the mechanisms behind this are unclear. Here, we describe a novel role for autophagy in regulating the production of IL-1β in antigen-presenting cells. After treatment of macrophages with Toll-like receptor ligands, pro-IL-1β was specifically sequestered into autophagosomes, whereas further activation of autophagy with rapamycin induced the degradation of pro-IL-1β and blocked secretion of the mature cytokine. Inhibition of autophagy promoted the processing and secretion of IL-1β by antigen-presenting cells in an NLRP3- and TRIF-dependent manner. This effect was reduced by inhibition of reactive oxygen species but was independent of NOX2. Induction of autophagy in mice in vivo with rapamycin reduced serum levels of IL-1β in response to challenge with LPS. These data demonstrate that autophagy controls the production of IL-1β through at least two separate mechanisms: by targeting pro-IL-1β for lysosomal degradation and by regulating activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome.
