Titanium induces proinflammatory and tissue-destructive responses in primary human macrophages. J Leukoc Biol 2024; 116:706-725. [PMID: 38512961 DOI: 10.1093/jleuko/qiae072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Implants and medical devices are efficient and practical therapeutic solutions for a multitude of pathologies. Titanium and titanium alloys are used in orthopedics, dentistry, and cardiology. Despite very good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, titanium implants can fail due to inflammatory or tissue degradation-related complications. Macrophages are major immune cells that control acceptance of failure of the implant. In this study, for the first time, we have performed a systematic analysis of the response of differentially activated human macrophages, M(Control), M(IFNγ), and M(IL-4), to the polished and porous titanium surfaces in order to identify the detrimental effect of titanium leading to the tissue destruction and chronic inflammation. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the highest number of differences between titanium and control settings are found in M(IL-4) that model healing type of macrophages. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis confirmed that both polished and porous titanium affected expression of cytokines, chitinases/chitinase-like proteins, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Titanium-induced release and activation of MMP7 by macrophages was enhanced by fibroblasts in both juxtacrine and paracrine cell interaction models. Production of titanium-induced MMPs and cytokines associated with chronic inflammation was independent of the presence of Staphylococcus aureus. MMP7, one of the most pronounced tissue-destroying factors, and chitinase-like protein YKL-40 were expressed in CD68+ macrophages in peri-implant tissues of patients with orthopedic implants. In summary, we demonstrated that titanium induces proinflammatory and tissue-destructing responses mainly in healing macrophages, and the detrimental effects of titanium surfaces on implant-adjacent macrophages are independent on the bacterial contamination.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the protein profiles in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in relation to clinical outcomes after periodontal surgery and examine if any selected proteins affect the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in human gingival fibroblasts. MATERIALS AND METHODS This exploratory study included 21 consecutive patients with periodontitis. GCF was collected, and the protein pattern (n = 92) and clinical parameters were evaluated prior to surgery and 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. Fibroblastic gene expression was analysed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Surgical treatment reduced periodontal pocket depth (PPD) and changed the GCF protein pattern. Twelve months after surgery, 17% of the pockets showed an increase in PPD. Levels of a number of proteins in the GCF decreased after surgical treatment but increased with early signs of tissue destruction, with LIGHT being one of the proteins that showed the strongest association. Furthermore, LIGHT up-regulated the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and MMP9 in human gingival fibroblasts. CONCLUSIONS LIGHT can potentially detect subjects at high risk of periodontitis recurrence after surgical treatment. Moreover, LIGHT induces the expression of inflammatory cytokines and tissue-degrading enzymes in gingival fibroblasts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Synovial hyperplasia caused by rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune inflammatory disease, leads to the destruction of the articular cartilage and bone. A member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily, Lymphotoxin-related inducible ligand that competes for glycoprotein D binding to herpes virus entry mediator on T cells (LIGHT) has been shown to correlate with the pathogenesis of RA. METHODS We used cDNA microarray analysis to compare the expression of genes in rheumatoid fibroblast-like synoviocytes with and without LIGHT stimulation. RESULTS Significant changes in gene expression (P-values < 0.05 and fold change ≥ 2.0) were associated mainly with biological function categories of glycoprotein, glycosylation site as N-linked, plasma membrane part, integral to plasma membrane, intrinsic to plasma membrane, signal, plasma membrane, signal peptide, alternative splicing, and topological domain as extracellular. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that LIGHT may regulate the expression in RA-FLS of genes which are important in the differentiation of several cell types and in cellular functions.

Methylmercury directly modifies the 105th cysteine residue in oncostatin M to promote binding to tumor necrosis factor receptor 3 and inhibit cell growth. Arch Toxicol 2023; 97:1887-1897. [PMID: 37193757 DOI: 10.1007/s00204-023-03520-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/18/2023]
Abstract
We previously found that methylmercury induces expression of oncostatin M (OSM), which is released extracellularly and binds to tumor necrosis factor receptor 3 (TNFR3), possibly enhancing its own toxicity. However, the mechanism by which methylmercury causes OSM to bind to TNFR3 rather than to its known receptors, OSM receptor and LIFR, is unknown. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the effect of methylmercury modification of cysteine residues in OSM on binding to TNFR3. Immunostaining of TNFR3-V5-expressing cells suggested that methylmercury promoted binding of OSM to TNFR3 on the cell membrane. In an in vitro binding assay, OSM directly bound to the extracellular domain of TNFR3, and this binding was promoted by methylmercury. Additionally, the formation of a disulfide bond in the OSM molecule was essential for the binding of both proteins, and LC/MS analysis revealed that methylmercury directly modified the 105th cysteine residue (Cys105) in OSM. Next, mutant OSM, in which Cys105 was replaced by serine or methionine, increased the binding to TNFR3, and a similar effect was observed in immunoprecipitation using cultured cells. Furthermore, cell proliferation was inhibited by treatment with Cys105 mutant OSMs compared with wildtype OSM, and this effect was cancelled by TNFR3 knockdown. In conclusion, we revealed a novel mechanism of methylmercury toxicity, in which methylmercury directly modifies Cys105 in OSM, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation via promoting binding to TNFR3. This indicates a chemical disruption in the interaction between the ligand and the receptor is a part of methylmercury toxicity.

Abstract
PURPOSE/METHODS Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder displaying different clinical features, including obesity and bone impairment. LIGHT/TNFSF14 is a cytokine produced by immune cells affecting both fat and bone metabolism. The present study aimed to evaluate LIGHT serum levels in 28 children and 52 adult PWS patients compared to age and sex-matched controls, as well as correlations with parameters of bone and fat metabolism. RESULTS Median serum LIGHT levels were significantly increased in pediatric PWS with respect to controls [255.82 (284.43) pg/ml vs 168.11 (76.23) pg/ml, p ≤ 0.02] as well as in adult PWS compared to controls [296.85 (895.95) pg/ml vs 134.18 (141.18) pg/ml, p ≤ 0.001]. In pediatric PWS, LIGHT levels were positively correlated with weight-SDS, height-SDS, and glucose levels, and negatively with total 25 (OH) vitamin D, cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Additionally, LIGHT levels were negatively correlated with total BMD and fat mass. In adult PWS, LIGHT levels were positively correlated with weight, HDL cholesterol and PTH, and negatively with glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, calcium, phosphorus, 25(OH)Vitamin D as well as with instrumental parameters of bone and fat quality. Consistently, multiple regression analysis showed that LIGHT serum levels in pediatric and adult PWS were predicted by different parameters including 25 (OH) Vitamin D as well as DXA parameters of bone and fat quality. CONCLUSIONS In PWS children and adults the high levels of LIGHT could represent a marker of the altered bone and fat metabolism.

Tofacitinib treatment modulates the levels of several inflammation-related plasma proteins in rheumatoid arthritis and baseline levels of soluble biomarkers associate with the treatment response. Clin Exp Immunol 2022; 210:141-150.

Abstract
The data on the effects of tofacitinib on soluble proteins in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is currently very limited. We analyzed how tofacitinib treatment and thus inhibition of the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activation of transcription pathway affects the in vivo levels of inflammation-related plasma proteins in RA patients. In this study, 16 patients with active RA [28-joint disease activity score (DAS28) >3.2] despite treatment with conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) started tofacitinib treatment 5 mg twice daily. Levels of 92 inflammation-related plasma proteins were determined by proximity extension assay at baseline and at 3 months. Tofacitinib treatment for 3 months, in csDMARD background, decreased the mean DAS28 from 4.4 to 2.6 (P < 0.001). Marked (>20%) and statistically significant (P < 0.05) changes were found in the levels of 21 proteins, 18 of which decreased and 3 increased. Of these proteins, 17 are directly involved in inflammatory responses or in the cellular response to cytokines. The highest (>50%) decrease was observed for interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1, matrix metalloproteinase-1, and AXIN1. Higher baseline levels of IL-6 and lower levels of C-C motif chemokine 11 and Delta and Notch-like epidermal growth factor-related receptors were associated with DAS28 improvement. Our results indicate that tofacitinib downregulates several proinflammatory plasma proteins that may contribute to the clinical efficacy of tofacitinib. In addition, soluble biomarkers may predict the treatment response to tofacitinib.

Abstract
Bone is a mineralized and elastic connective tissue that provides fundamental functions in the human body, including mechanical support to the muscles and joints, protection of vital organs and storage of minerals. Bone is a metabolically active organ that undergoes continuous remodeling processes to maintain its architecture, shape, and function throughout life. One of the most important medical discoveries of recent decades has been that the immune system is involved in bone remodeling. Indeed, chronic inflammation has been recognized as the most significant factor influencing bone homeostasis, causing a shift in the bone remodeling process toward pathological bone resorption. Bone osteolytic diseases typified by excessive bone resorption account for one of the greatest causes of disability worldwide, with significant economic and public health burdens. From this perspective, we discuss the recent findings and discoveries highlighting the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate this process in the bone microenvironment, in addition to the current therapeutic strategies for the treatment of osteolytic bone diseases.

Age-related accumulation of advanced oxidation protein products promotes osteoclastogenesis through disruption of redox homeostasis. Cell Death Dis 2021; 12:1160.

Abstract
Enhanced osteoclastogenesis is one of the major causes of age-related bone loss. Aging is accompanied by accumulation of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs). However, whether AOPPs accumulation contributing to the osteoclastogenesis with aging remains unclear. Here, we showed that AOPPs accumulation was associated with the enhanced osteoclastogenesis and deterioration of bone microstructure in aged mice. In vitro, AOPPs directly induced osteoclastogenesis by interaction with receptor activator of nuclear factor κ B (RANK) and the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) in the primary bone marrow monocytes. Bindings of AOPPs to RANK and RAGE were able to activate nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, trigger generation of reactive oxygen species, then induce phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and c-fos, upregulation of the nuclear factor of activated T cell c1, eventually induce bone marrow monocytes to differentiate into mature osteoclasts. Chronic exposure to AOPPs enhanced osteoclastogenesis and bone loss in mice, which could be alleviated by NADPH oxidase inhibitor apocynin. Local injection of AOPPs into subperiosteal area induced bone resorption at the site of administration, which was similar to the effect of RANK ligand. Together, these results suggested that AOPPs could serve as a novel regulator of osteoclastogenesis and AOPPs accumulation might play an important role in the development of age-related bone loss.

OBJECTIVES The objective was to assess the effects of dietary manipulation on inflammation in patients with RA. METHODS In a crossover design, participants [n = 50, 78% females, median BMI (in kg/m2) 27, median age 63 y] were randomly assigned to begin with either a 10-wk portfolio diet of proposed anti-inflammatory foods (i.e., a high intake of fatty fish, whole grains, fruits, nuts, and berries) or a control diet resembling a Western diet with a 4-mo washout in between. This report evaluates the secondary outcome markers of inflammation among participants with stable medication. Analyses were performed using a linear mixed ANCOVA model. RESULTS There were no significant effects on CRP or ESR in the group as a whole. In those with high compliance (n = 29), changes in ESR within the intervention diet period differed significantly compared with changes within the control diet period (mean: -5.490; 95% CI: -10.310, -0.669; P = 0.027). During the intervention diet period, there were lowered serum concentrations of C-X-C motif ligand 1 (CXCL1) (mean: -0.268; 95% CI: -0.452, -0.084;P = 0.006), CXCL5 (mean: -0.278; 95% CI: -0.530, -0.026 P = 0.031), CXCL6 (mean: -0.251; 95% CI: -0.433, -0.069; P = 0.009), and tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 14 (TNFSF14) (mean: -0.139; 95% CI: -0.275, -0.002; P = 0.047) compared with changes within the control diet period. CONCLUSION A proposed anti-inflammatory diet likely reduced systemic inflammation, as indicated by a decreased ESR in those who completed the study with high compliance (n = 29). These findings warrant further studies to validate our results, and to evaluate the clinical relevance of changes in CXCL1, CXCL5, CXCL6, and TNFSF14 in patients with RA.

The Contribution of LIGHT to the Development of Systemic Sclerosis by Modulating IL-6 and T Helper Type 1 Chemokine Expression in Dermal Fibroblasts. J Invest Dermatol 2021; 142:1541-1551.e3. [PMID: 34838790 DOI: 10.1016/j.jid.2021.10.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2021] [Revised: 09/28/2021] [Accepted: 10/08/2021] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune and vascular disease resulting in multiple organ fibrosis, in which IL-6 and T helper (Th)2/Th17 cytokines serve as critical disease drivers. LIGHT is a proinflammatory cytokine promoting IL-6 production in lung fibroblasts and Th1 chemokine expression in dermal fibroblasts (DFs) stimulated with IFN-γ. In this study, we investigated the potential contribution of LIGHT to SSc development using clinical samples and animal models. In SSc-involved skin, LIGHT was upregulated in inflammatory cells, whereas herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM), a receptor of LIGHT, was downregulated in DFs. Similar expression profiles of LIGHT and HVEM were reproduced in bleomycin-treated mice. Transcription factor FLI1 bound to the HVEM promoter, and FLI1 small interfering RNA suppressed HVEM expression in normal DFs. In SSc DFs, LIGHT significantly increased IL-6 production, whereas IFN-γ/LIGHT-dependent Th1 chemokine induction was decreased compared with that in normal DFs. Importantly, LIGHT small interfering RNA significantly attenuated bleomycin-induced skin fibrosis, and serum LIGHT levels were elevated in patients with diffuse cutaneous SSc and positively correlated with clinical parameters reflecting skin and pulmonary fibrosis. Taken together, these results suggest that altered response of DFs to LIGHT, namely increased IL-6 production and decreased Th1 chemokine expression, contributes to the development of skin fibrosis in SSc.

LIGHT of pulmonary NKT cells annihilates tissue protective alveolar macrophages in augmenting severe influenza pneumonia. Sci Bull (Beijing) 2021; 66:2124-2134. [PMID: 36654270 DOI: 10.1016/j.scib.2021.01.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2020] [Revised: 11/20/2020] [Accepted: 01/19/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
CD1d-restricted natural killer T (NKT) cells are innate-like T lymphocytes with protective or pathogenic roles in the development of influenza pneumonia. Here, we show that lung-infiltrated and activated NKT cells are the major cellular source of LIGHT/TNFSF14, which determines the severity of pulmonary pneumonia by highly deteriorative influenza A virus (IAV) infection. Compared to wild-type mice, LIGHT-/- mice exhibit much lower morbidity and mortality to IAV, due to alleviated lung damage and reduced apoptosis of alveolar macrophages (AMs). LIGHT preferentially promotes cell death of lymphotoxin β receptors positive (LTβR+) AMs but not herpesvirus entry mediator positive (HVEM+) AMs. Therefore, these results suggest that NKT-derived LIGHT augments cell death of the tissue protective AMs in exacerbating lung pathology and susceptibility to fatal influenza infection. Suppression of LIGHT signaling might be a viable option in the treatment of influenza-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Abstract
AIM To study cytokine profiles and intra-individual correlations in crevicular fluid samples at periodontitis, peri-implantitis, and healthy sites. MATERIALS AND METHODS Samples from gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) were collected from healthy and diseased sites in patients who had had dental implants for a minimum of 10 years. Cytokine levels were analyzed using the Bio-Plex Pro Human inflammation kit, which included biomarkers for the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) superfamily, regulatory T Cell (Treg) cytokines, and interferon (IFN) proteins. RESULTS Gingival crevicular fluid/PICF cytokine levels, determined in samples from 163 patients, were frequently lower for healthy tooth and implant sites compared to sites with periodontitis or peri-implantitis. In contrast, there were no significant differences in cytokine levels between peri-implant sites and periodontitis sites. Intra-individual correlations between cytokines at peri-implant sites were frequently significant. In addition, the cytokines IFN-λ1 and TNFSF12 were significantly correlated with the presence of peri-implantitis. CONCLUSION Within the limits of this study, the intra-individual cytokine profile did not differ between sites diagnosed with periodontitis and those diagnosed with peri-implantitis, but did differ between healthy tooth and healthy implant sites. Studying intra-individual cytokine profiles is a method to elucidate possible differences between the etiopathogeneses of periodontitis and peri-implantitis, since it is well known that immune responses to dysbiosis vary between individuals according to host factors. Thus, the findings of the present study are potentially relevant to the advancement of knowledge in this field.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease targeting synovial joints. Traditionally, RA is divided into seropositive (SP) and seronegative (SN) disease forms, the latter consisting of an array of unrelated diseases with joint involvement. Recently, we described a severe form of SN-RA that associates with characteristic joint destruction. Here, we sought biological characteristics to differentiate this rare but aggressive anti-citrullinated peptide antibody-negative destructive RA (CND-RA) from early seropositive (SP-RA) and seronegative rheumatoid arthritis (SN-RA). We also aimed to study cytotoxic CD8+ lymphocytes in autoimmune arthritis. CND-RA, SP-RA and SN-RA were compared to healthy controls to reveal differences in T-cell receptor beta (TCRβ) repertoire, cytokine levels and autoantibody repertoires. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) followed by single-cell RNA-sequencing (sc-RNA-seq) was performed to study somatic mutations in a clonally expanded CD8+ lymphocyte population in an index patient. A unique TCRβ signature was detected in CND-RA patients. In addition, CND-RA patients expressed higher levels of the bone destruction-associated TNFSF14 cytokine. Blood IgG repertoire from CND-RA patients recognized fewer endogenous proteins than SP-RA patients’ repertoires. Using WES, we detected a stable mutation profile in the clonally expanded CD8+ T-cell population characterized by cytotoxic gene expression signature discovered by sc-RNA-sequencing. Our results identify CND-RA as an independent RA subset and reveal a CND-RA specific TCR signature in the CD8+ lymphocytes. Improved classification of seronegative RA patients underlines the heterogeneity of RA and also, facilitates development of improved therapeutic options for the treatment resistant patients.

Disease-Specific Autoantibodies Induce Trained Immunity in RA Synovial Tissues and Its Gene Signature Correlates with the Response to Clinical Therapy. Mediators Inflamm 2020; 2020:2109325. [PMID: 33082707 PMCID: PMC7558774 DOI: 10.1155/2020/2109325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2020] [Revised: 08/28/2020] [Accepted: 09/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Much evidence suggests that trained immunity is inappropriately activated in the synovial tissue in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we describe how RA-specific autoantibody deposits can train human monocytes to exert the hyperactive inflammatory response, particularly via the exacerbated release of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). Comparative transcriptomic analysis by plate-bound human IgG (cIgG) or β-glucan indicated that metabolic shift towards glycolysis is a crucial mechanism for trained immunity. Moreover, the cIgG-trained gene signatures were enriched in synovial tissues from patients with ACPA- (anticitrullinated protein antibody-) positive arthralgia and undifferentiated arthritis, and early RA and established RA bore a great resemblance to the myeloid pathotype, suggesting a historical priming event in vivo. Additionally, the expression of the cIgG-trained signatures is higher in the female, older, and ACPA-positive populations, with a predictive role in the clinical response to infliximab. We conclude that RA-specific autoantibodies can train monocytes in the inflamed lesion as early as the asymptomatic stage, which may not merely improve understanding of disease progression but may also suggest therapeutic and/or preventive strategies for autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Obesity may affect bone health, but literature reports are contradictory about the correlation of body mass index (BMI) and bone markers. LIGHT, one of the immunostimulatory cytokines regulating the homeostasis of bone and adipose tissue, could be involved in obesity. The study involved 111 obese subjects (12.21 ± 3.71 years) and 45 controls. Patients underwent the evaluation of bone status by quantitative ultrasonography (QUS). LIGHT amounts were evaluated in sera by ELISA, whereas its expression on peripheral blood cells was evaluated by flow cytometry. Osteoclastogenesis was performed by culturing peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with or without anti-LIGHT antibodies. Obese patients showed significant high BMI-standard deviation score (SDS), weight-SDS, and Homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) that negatively correlated with the reduced Amplitude Dependent Speed of Sound (AD-SoS)-Z-score and Bone Transmission Time (BTT-Z)-score. They displayed significantly higher serum levels of LIGHT compared with controls (497.30 ± 363.45 pg/mL vs. 186.06 ± 101.41 pg/mL, p < 0.001). LIGHT expression on monocytes, CD3+-T-cells, and neutrophils was also higher in obese patients than in the controls. Finally, in PBMC cultures, the addition of anti-LIGHT antibodies induced a significant osteoclastogenesis inhibition. Our study highlighted the high serum levels of LIGHT in obese children and adolescents, and its relationship with both the grade of obesity and bone impairment.

Decoy Receptor 3 Promotes Preosteoclast Cell Death via Reactive Oxygen Species-Induced Fas Ligand Expression and the IL-1 α/IL-1 Receptor Antagonist Pathway. Mediators Inflamm 2020; 2020:1237281. [PMID: 32587467 PMCID: PMC7303756 DOI: 10.1155/2020/1237281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2020] [Revised: 04/14/2020] [Accepted: 04/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Interleukin-1α (IL-1α) is a potent cytokine that plays a role in inflammatory arthritis and bone loss. Decoy receptor 3 (DCR3) is an immune modulator of monocytes and macrophages. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of DCR3 in IL-1α-induced osteoclastogenesis. Methods We treated murine macrophages with DCR3 during receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa Β ligand- (RANKL-) plus IL-1α-induced osteoclastogenesis to monitor osteoclast formation by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. Osteoclast activity was assessed using a pit formation assay. The mechanisms of inhibition were studied by biochemical analyses, including RT-PCR, immunofluorescent staining, flow cytometry, an apoptosis assay, immunoblotting, and ELISA. Results DCR3 suppresses IL-1α-induced osteoclastogenesis in both primary murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) and RAW264.7 cells as it inhibits bone resorption. DCR3 induces RANKL-treated osteoclast precursor cells to express IL-1α, secretory IL-1ra (sIL-1ra), intracellular IL-1ra (icIL-1ra), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and Fas ligand and to activate IL-1α-induced interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4). The suppression of DCR3 during RANKL- or IL-1α-induced osteoclastogenesis may be due to the abundant secretion of IL-1ra, accumulation of ROS, and expression of Fas ligand in apoptotic osteoclast precursor cells. Conclusions We concluded that there is an inhibitory effect of DCR3 on osteoclastogenesis via ROS accumulation and ROS-induced Fas ligand, IL-1α, and IL-1ra expression. Our results suggested that the upregulation of DCR3 in preosteoclasts might be a therapeutic target in inflammatory IL-1α-induced bone resorption.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 14 (TNFSF14), LIGHT, is a component of the cytokine network that regulates innate and adaptive immune responses, which promote homeostasis of lymphoid organs, liver, and bone. Metastatic tumors often disrupt the tissue microenvironment, thus altering the homeostasis of the invaded organ; however, the underlying mechanisms required further studies. We investigated the role of LIGHT in osteolytic bone disease induced by metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients diagnosed with NSCLC bone metastasis show significantly higher levels of LIGHT expressed in monocytes compared with non-bone metastatic tumors and healthy controls. Serum LIGHT levels were also higher in patients with bone metastases than in controls, suggesting a role for LIGHT in stimulating osteoclast precursors. In bone metastatic patients, we also detected increased RNA expression and serum RANKL levels, thus by adding anti-LIGHT or RANK-fragment crystallizable region (RANK-Fc) in PBMC cultures, a significant inhibition of osteoclastogenesis was observed. To model this observation in mice, we used the mouse lung cancer cell line LLC-1. After intratibial implantation, wild-type mice showed an increased number of osteoclasts but reduced numbers of osteoblasts and decreased osteoid formation. In contrast, Tnfsf14-/- mice showed no significant bone loss or other changes in bone homeostasis associated with this model. These data indicate LIGHT is a key control mechanism for regulating bone homeostasis during metastatic invasion. Thus, LIGHT may be a novel therapeutic target in osteolytic bone metastases. © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Bone loss induced by ovariectomy is due to the direct activity on bone cells and mesenchymal cells and to the dysregulated activity of bone marrow cells, including immune cells and stromal cells, but the underlying mechanisms are not completely known. Here, we demonstrate that ovariectomy induces the T-cell co-stimulatory cytokine LIGHT, which stimulates both osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis by modulating osteoclastogenic cytokine expression, including TNF, osteoprotegerin, and the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL). Predictably, LIGHT-deficient (Tnfsf14-/- ) mice are protected from ovariectomy-dependent bone loss, whereas trabecular bone mass increases in mice deficient in both LIGHT and T and B lymphocytes (Rag -/- Tnfsf14 -/- ) and is associated with an inversion of the TNF and RANKL/OPG ratio. Furthermore, women with postmenopausal osteoporosis display high levels of LIGHT in circulating T cells and monocytes. Taken together, these results indicate that LIGHT mediates bone loss induced by ovariectomy, suggesting that patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis may benefit from LIGHT antagonism. © 2020 Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

Abstract
The term osteoimmunology was coined many years ago to describe the research field that deals with the cross-regulation between bone cells and the immune system. As a matter of fact, many factors that are classically considered immune-related, such as InterLeukins (i.e., IL-6, -11, -17, and -23), Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-α, Receptor-Activator of Nuclear factor Kappa B (RANK), and its Ligand (RANKL), Nuclear Factor of Activated T-cell, cytoplasmatic-1 (NFATc1), and others have all been found to be crucial in osteoclast and osteoblast biology. Conversely, bone cells, which we used to think would only regulate each other and take care of remodeling bone, actually regulate immune cells, by creating the so-called "endosteal niche." Both osteoblasts and osteoclasts participate to this niche, either by favoring engraftment, or mobilization of Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs). In this review, we will describe the main milestones at the base of the osteoimmunology and present the key cellular players of the bone-immune system cross-talk, including HSCs, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, bone marrow macrophages, osteomacs, T- and B-lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and neutrophils. We will also briefly describe some pathological conditions in which the bone-immune system cross-talk plays a crucial role, with the final aim to portray the state of the art in the mechanisms regulating the bone-immune system interplay, and some of the latest molecular players in the field. This is important to encourage investigation in this field, to identify new targets in the treatment of bone and immune diseases.

Abstract
Background Inflammation and immune system alterations contribute to bone damage in many pathologies by inducing the differentiation of osteoclasts (OCs), the bone resorbing cells. This link is largely unexplored in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and haemodialysis (HD) patients, in which reduced renal function is accompanied by an increased inflammatory state and skeletal abnormality. Methods We used ex vivo culture experiments to investigate the osteoclastogenic potential of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of CKD and HD patients, focusing on immune cell subsets and inflammatory cytokines such as LIGHT and receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL). Results We observed spontaneous osteoclastogenesis with a significant increase in OC formation and bone resorbing activity in late-stage CKD and HD patients when compared with early-stage CKD patients and healthy donors, likely due to an increased expression of RANKL and LIGHT (homologous to Lymphotoxins exhibiting Inducible expression and competing with herpes simplex virus Glycoprotein D for herpes virus entry mediator [HVEM], a receptor expressed by T lymphocytes) in PBMCs. Specific inhibition of these cytokines in PBMCs isolated from CKD stages 3b-5 and HD patients induced the reduction of OC formation in vitro. The phenotypic characterization of peripheral blood cells revealed a significant increase of OC precursors (CD14+CD11b+CD51/61+) and CD14+CD16+ monocytes in advanced CKD and HD patients compared with the control group. Conclusions Our results suggest that circulating inflammatory monocytes from advanced CKD or HD patients trans differentiate into OCs in vitro and play a relevant role in mineral bone disorders and that LIGHT and RANKL represent new potential therapeutic targets in these settings.

Abstract
We have previously shown that through the production of high LIGHT levels, immune cells contribute to both osteoclastogenesis and bone destruction in Multiple Myeloma (MM)-related bone disease. With the aim of further exploring the mechanisms underlying the development of MM-related bone disease, here we focused on a possible role of LIGHT in MM patients with active bone disease despite the treatment received. We detected LIGHT over-expression by circulating CD14+ monocytes from MM patients still showing active bone disease, despite the treatment. In addition, we found over-expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL), whose pro-osteoclastogenic role is well-known, in T-lymphocytes isolated from the same patients. Although the percentages of circulating osteoclast progenitors, CD14+CD16+ monocytes, were higher in all the MM patients than in the controls spontaneous osteoclastogenesis occurred only in the cultures derived from PBMCs of MM patients with unresponsive bone disease. Of note, in the same cultures osteoclastogenesis was partially or completely inhibited, in a dose-dependent manner, by the addition of RANK-Fc or anti-LIGHT neutralizing antibody, demonstrating the contribution of both LIGHT and RANKL to the enhanced osteoclast formation observed. In addition, high serum levels of TRAP5b and CTX, the two markers of osteoclast activity, were detected in MM patients with bone disease not responsive to treatment. In conclusion, our study indicates a prominent role of LIGHT in the crosstalk among osteoclasts and immune cells, co-involved together with RANKL in the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to MM-related bone disease. This TNF superfamily member may thus be a possible new therapeutic target in MM-related bone disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myeloma bone disease (MBD) can cause bone destruction and increase the level of Ca2+ concentration in the bone marrow microenvironment by stimulating osteoclastic differentiation. Nevertheless, the relationships between MBD and highly efficient stimuli of Ca2+ in multiple myeloma (MM) progression, and possible regulatory mechanisms are poorly defined. Here, we reported that the nonselective cation channel transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) plays a functional role in Ca2+ oscillations and osteoclastogenesis. METHODS To investigate the expression of TRPV2 in MM, we analyzed publicly available MM data sets and performed immunohistochemistry in MM patients. The correlations between TRPV2 expression levels and osteoclast-related cytokines were analyzed. Fluo-4 staining and ELISA assays were used to assess the regulated function of TRPV2 in intracellular Ca2+ and cytokines. Western blotting and Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were performed to explore the signaling pathway of TRPV2-induced osteoclastic differentiation. Real-time PCR, Western blotting, ELISA and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining were performed to detect the biological effects of TRPV2 inhibitor on osteoclastogenesis. RESULTS The functional expression of TRPV2, involved in the osteolysis through gating the calcium influx, was changed in the MM cells cultured in a high Ca2+ environment. Mechanistically, TRPV2 modulates nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-dependent osteoclastic differentiation through the Ca2+-calcineurin-NFAT signaling pathway. Of clinical relevance, systemic administration with SKF96365 could attenuate the MM-induced osteoclast formation in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Our study uncovers the possible roles of TRPV2, which enhances MBD, suggesting that targeting osteocyte-MM cells interactions through blockade of TRPV2 channel may provide a promising treatment strategy in MM.

IgG Immunocomplexes Sensitize Human Monocytes for Inflammatory Hyperactivity via Transcriptomic and Epigenetic Reprogramming in Rheumatoid Arthritis. THE JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGY 2018; 200:3913-3925.

Abstract
Prevalence of circulating immunocomplexes (ICs) strongly correlates with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in humans. Deposits of IgG-ICs are abundant in affected joints of patients, yet molecular mechanisms for the pathogenic roles of such ICs are not fully understood. In this study, we present evidence that IgG-ICs precipitated from RA sera sensitized human monocytes for a long-lasting inflammatory functional state, characterized by a strong TNF-α response to cellular proteins representing damage-associated molecular patterns and microbe-derived pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Importantly, plate-coated human IgG (a mimic of deposited IC without Ag restriction) exhibited a similarly robust ability of monocyte sensitization in vitro. The plate-coated human IgG-induced functional programming is accompanied by transcriptomic and epigenetic modification of various inflammatory cytokines and negative regulator genes. Moreover, macrophages freshly isolated from synovia of patients with RA, but not sera-negative arthropathy, displayed a signature gene expression profile highly similar to that of IC-sensitized human monocytes, indicative of historical priming events by IgG-ICs in vivo. Thus, the ability of IgG-ICs to drive sustainable functional sensitization/reprogramming of monocytes and macrophages toward inflammation may render them key players in the development of RA.

Abstract
Multiple cytokines produced by immune cells induce remodeling and aid in maintaining bone homeostasis through differentiation of bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts. Here, we investigate bone remodeling controlled by the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily cytokine LIGHT. LIGHT-deficient mice (Tnfsf14-/- ) exhibit spine deformity and reduced femoral cancellous bone mass associated with an increase in the osteoclast number and a slight decrease of osteoblasts compared with WT mice. The effect of LIGHT in bone cells can be direct or indirect, mediated by both the low expression of the anti-osteoclastogenic osteoprotegerin (OPG) in B and T cells and reduced levels of the pro-osteoblastogenic Wnt10b in CD8+ T cells in Tnfsf14-/- mice. LIGHT stimulation increases OPG levels in B, CD8+ T, and osteoblastic cells, as well as Wnt10b expression in CD8+ T cells. The high bone mass in Light and T- and B-cell-deficient mice (Rag- /Tnfsf14- ) supports the cooperative role of the immune system in bone homeostasis. These results implicate LIGHT as a potential target in bone disease. © 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2018; 188:1059-1068. [PMID: 29353057 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajpath.2017.12.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2017] [Revised: 11/19/2017] [Accepted: 12/19/2017] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a rare disorder characterized by the deficiency of the enzyme homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase and consequent homogentisate accumulation, which leads to progressive and severe osteoarthopathy starting from the second decade of life. Thus, in AKU patients, bone involvement represents an important clinical issue, which we investigated. Serum levels of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin, sclerostin, Dickkopf-1, and bone remodeling markers were measured in nine AKU patients (two children and seven adults) and 22 controls, together with lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS-BMD) and femoral-BMD. In the two AKU children, the average of LS-BMD and femoral-BMD Z-scores were within the normal range, but reduced with respect to the controls. Otherwise, in the adult AKU patients, LS-BMD T-score was inside the normal range, but femoral-BMD T-score reached osteopenic levels. Consistently, in AKU adults, higher RANKL and C-terminal telopeptide of collagen type 1 and lower osteoprotegerin levels were observed than in controls. Otherwise, spontaneous osteoclastogenesis was already evident in peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures from AKU children, together with a high percentage of circulating osteoclast precursors. Osteoclastogenesis was sustained by the high levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, RANK, RANKL, and LIGHT. In conclusion, the altered osteoclastogenesis was observed already in AKU children, despite the absence of evident injury. Thus, a preventive approach in young patients, targeting osteoclast activity, may prevent the macroscopic bone disease that appears in adult AKU.

Abstract
Many breast cancer (BC) patients treated with aromatase inhibitors (AIs) develop aromatase inhibitor‐related arthralgia (AIA). Candidate gene studies to identify AIA risk are limited in scope. We evaluated the potential of a novel analytic algorithm (NAA) to predict AIA using germline single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) data obtained before treatment initiation. Systematic chart review of 700 AI‐treated patients with stage I‐III BC identified asymptomatic patients (n = 39) and those with clinically significant AIA resulting in AI termination or therapy switch (n = 123). Germline DNA was obtained and SNP genotyping performed using the Affymetrix UK BioBank Axiom Array to yield 695,277 SNPs. SNP clusters that most closely defined AIA risk were discovered using an NAA that sequentially combined statistical filtering and a machine‐learning algorithm. NCBI PhenGenI and Ensemble databases defined gene attribution of the most discriminating SNPs. Phenotype, pathway, and ontologic analyses assessed functional and mechanistic validity. Demographics were similar in cases and controls. A cluster of 70 SNPs, correlating to 57 genes, was identified. This SNP group predicted AIA occurrence with a maximum accuracy of 75.93%. Strong associations with arthralgia, breast cancer, and estrogen phenotypes were seen in 19/57 genes (33%) and were functionally consistent. Using a NAA, we identified a 70 SNP cluster that predicted AIA risk with fair accuracy. Phenotype, functional, and pathway analysis of attributed genes was consistent with clinical phenotypes. This study is the first to link a specific SNP/gene cluster to AIA risk independent of candidate gene bias.

Abstract
Inflammation is critical for the progression of hyperlipidemia. Although the exact mechanism through which inflammation affects hyperlipidemia is not very clear, evidence suggests that the tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 14 (TNFSF14/LIGHT)LIGHT might regulate lipid metabolism. In this study we investigated the expression of LIGHT in patients with different stages of coronary disease. The expression of lipid metabolism-related enzymes and inflammation-related proteins were further explored in oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL)-induced THP-1 macrophages. We found that LIGHT is highly expressed and companied with severe inflammations in patients with coronary disease. LIGHT significantly enhanced inflammation response in oxLDL-induced THP-1 macrophages. We further demonstrated that LIGHT markedly decreased the levels of lipolytic genes and increased the expressions of lipogenic genes in oxLDL-induced THP-1 macrophages. In addition, our results showed that LIGHT exerts its pro-inflammatory and pro-lipogenesis roles through activating nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Taken together our study has demonstrated that LIGHT NF-κB-dependently exacerbates inflammation response and promotes lipid accumulation, and provided a new potential target for treatment of hyperlipidemia-related disease.

Abstract
AIM To characterise the role of substitutes for receptor-activator nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) joint destruction.
METHODS Synovial fluid (SF) macrophages isolated from the knee joint of RA patients were incubated with 25 ng/mL macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and 50 ng/mL LIGHT (lymphotoxin-like, exhibits inducible expression and competes with herpes simplex virus glycoprotein D for herpes virus entry mediator, a receptor expressed by T lymphocytes) in the presence and absence of 25 ng/mL RANKL and 100 ng/mL osteoprotegerin (OPG) on glass coverslips and dentine slices. Osteoclastogenesis was assessed by the formation of multinucleated cells (MNCs) expressing tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) on coverslips and the extent of lacunar resorption pit formation on dentine slices. The concentration of LIGHT in RA and osteoarthritis (OA) synovial fluid was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the expression of LIGHT in RA and OA synovium was determined by immunohistochemistry using an indirect immunoperoxidase technique.
RESULTS In cultures of RA SF macrophages treated with LIGHT and M-CSF, there was significant formation of TRAP + MNCs on coverslips and extensive lacunar resorption pit formation on dentine slices. SF-macrophage-osteoclast differentiation was not inhibited by the addition of OPG, a decoy receptor for RANKL. Resorption pits were smaller and less confluent than in RANKL-treated cultures but the overall percentage area of the dentine slice resorbed was comparable in LIGHT- and RANKL-treated cultures. LIGHT significantly stimulated RANKL-induced lacunar resorption compared with RA SF macrophages treated with either RANKL or LIGHT alone. LIGHT was strongly expressed by synovial lining cells, subintimal macrophages and endothelial cells in RA synovium and the concentration of LIGHT was much higher in RA compared with OA SF.
CONCLUSION LIGHT is highly expressed in RA synovium and SF, stimulates RANKL-independent/dependent osteoclastogenesis from SF macrophages and may contribute to marginal erosion formation.

Abstract
Reduced bone density and secondary osteoporosis, resulting in increased risk of fracture, is a significant complicating factor in the inflammatory arthritides. While the exact etiology of systemic bone loss is not fully elucidated, recent insights into the tumor necrosis factor super family (TNFSF) revealed a potential role for death receptor 3 (DR3/TNFRSF25) and one of its ligands, TNF-like protein 1A (TL1A/TNFSF15). The mechanisms by which DR3/TL1A signalling modulates bone loss are unclear. We investigated the effect of DR3/TL1A signalling upon osteoclast-dependent chemokine and MMP production to unravel novel mechanisms whereby this pathway regulates OC formation and OC-dependent bone resorption. Collagen induced arthritis (CIA) was established in DR3wt and DR3ko mice, joints were sectioned and analysed histologically for bone damage while systemic trabecular bone loss distal to the affected joints was compared by micro-CT. Ablation of DR3 protected DBA/1 mice against the development and progression of CIA. In DR3ko, joints of the ankle and mid-foot were almost free of bone erosions and long bones of mice with CIA were protected against systemic trabecular bone loss. In vitro, expression of DR3 was confirmed on primary human CD14+ osteoclast precursors by flow cytometry. These cells were treated with TL1A in osteoclast differentiation medium and TRAP+ osteoclasts, bone resorption, levels of osteoclast-associated chemokines (CCL3, CCL2 and CXCL8) and MMP-9 measured. TL1A intensified human osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption and increased osteoclast-associated production of CCL3 and MMP-9. Our data reveals the DR3 pathway as an attractive therapeutic target to combat adverse bone pathology associated with inflammatory arthritis. We demonstrate that DR3 is critical in the pathogenesis of murine CIA and associated secondary osteoporosis. Furthermore, we identify a novel mechanism by which the DR3/TL1A pathway directly enhances human OC formation and resorptive activity, controlling expression and activation of CCL3 and MMP-9.

Abstract
TNF blockers are highly efficacious at dampening inflammation and reducing symptoms in rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, and also in nonrheumatic syndromes such as inflammatory bowel disease. As TNF belongs to a superfamily of 19 structurally related proteins that have both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory activity, reagents that disrupt the interaction between proinflammatory TNF family cytokines and their receptors, or agonize the anti-inflammatory receptors, are being considered for the treatment of rheumatic diseases. Biologic agents that block B cell activating factor (BAFF) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) have been approved for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus and osteoporosis, respectively. In this Review, we focus on additional members of the TNF superfamily that could be relevant for the pathogenesis of rheumatic disease, including those that can strongly promote activity of immune cells or increase activity of tissue cells, as well as those that promote death pathways and might limit inflammation. We examine preclinical mouse and human data linking these molecules to the control of damage in the joints, muscle, bone or other tissues, and discuss their potential as targets for future therapy of rheumatic diseases.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells derived from mononuclear phagocyte precursors (monocytes, macrophages); in the canonical pathway of osteoclastogenesis, these cells fuse and differentiate to form specialised bone-resorbing osteoclasts in the presence of receptor activator for nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL). Non-canonical pathways of osteoclastogenesis have been described in which several cytokines and growth factors are able to substitute for RANKL. These humoral factors can generally be divided into those which, like RANKL, are tumour necrosis family (TNF) superfamily members and those which are not; the former include TNFα lymphotoxin exhibiting inducible expression and competing with herpes simplex virus glycoprotein D for herpesvirus entry mediator, a receptor expressed by T lymphocytes (LIGHT), a proliferation inducing ligand (APRIL) and B cell activating factor (BAFF); the latter include transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, IL-11, nerve growth factor (NGF), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF-II. This review summarises the evidence for these RANKL substitutes in inducing osteoclast differentiation from tissue-derived and circulating mononuclear phagocytes. It also assesses the role these factors are likely to play in promoting the pathological bone resorption seen in many inflammatory and neoplastic lesions of bone and joint including rheumatoid arthritis, aseptic implant loosening and primary and secondary tumours of bone.

Abstract
In recent years a link between the gastrointestinal tract and bone health has started to gain significant attention. Dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota has been linked to the pathology of a number of diseases which are associated with bone loss. In addition modulation of the intestinal microbiota with probiotic bacteria has revealed to have both beneficial local and systemic effects. In the present chapter, we discuss the intestinal and bone immune systems, explore how intestinal disease affects the immune system, and examine how these pathologic changes could adversely impact bone health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the effect of Wenhua Juanbi Recipe (, WJR) on expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 14 (TNFRSF14, also known as LIGHT) in rats with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). METHODS CIA rats were generated by subcutaneous injection of bovine collagen type-II at the tail base. Sixty CIA rats were randomly assigned (10 animals/group) to: model, methotrexate (MTX)-treated (0.78 mg/kg body weight), and WJR-treated (22.9 g/kg) groups. Healthy normal rats (n=10) were used as the normal control. Treatments or saline were administered once daily by oral gavage. Rats were sacrifificed at day 28 post-treatment and knee synovium and peripheral blood serum were collected. Toe swelling degree and expression of RANKL, OPG, and LIGHT were determined by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Compared with the normal group, toe swelling degree was signifificantly increased in the model group (P<0.01). After treatment, toe swelling degree decreased signifificantly in the WJR and MTX groups compared with the model group (P<0.01). Compared with the normal group, expression of RANKL and LIGHT were signifificantly increased and OPG signifificantly decreased in peripheral blood and synovium of the model group (P<0.01). Conversely, RANKL and LIGHT expression were signifificantly reduced and OPG increased in the WJR and MTX groups compared with the model group (P<0.01). No statistically significant difference existed between WJR and MTX groups. CONCLUSION WJR likely acts by reducing RANKL expression and increasing OPG expression, thus inhibiting RANKL/RANK interaction and reducing LIGHT expression, thereby inhibiting osteoclast formation/activation to block bone erosion.

Abstract
LIGHT, a costimulatory member of the immunoglobulin superfamily (Ig SF), can greatly impact T cell activation. The role of the LIGHT signaling pathway in chlamydial infection was evaluated in mice following respiratory tract infection with Chlamydia psittaci. Compared with wild type (WT) mice, LIGHT knockout (KO) mice showed significant reduction of body weight, much lower survival rate, higher bacterial burden, prolonged infection time courses and more severe pathological changes in lung tissue. The mRNA levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-17 and IL-12 in the lung tissue of LIGHT KO mice were significantly lower than those in WT mice. While there was no obvious difference in the percentages of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the spleens of the two groups of mice, there was a markedly elevated percentage of CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3+ Treg cells in LIGHT KO mice. Together, these results demonstrate that the LIGHT signaling pathway is not only required for inflammatory cytokine production as part of the host response to chlamydial infection, but also influences the differentiation of CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3+ Treg cells, both of which may be essential for control of C. psittaci respiratory tract infection.

The Expression of BTLA Was Increased and the Expression of HVEM and LIGHT Were Decreased in the T Cells of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis [corrected]. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0155345. [PMID: 27183113 PMCID: PMC4868345 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0155345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2015] [Accepted: 04/09/2016] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Currently, the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is not clearly understood. The LIGHT/HVEM/BTLA co-signaling pathway may be involved in the pathogenesis of RA, although reports on the expression levels of LIGHT, HVEM and BTLA in T lymphocytes from RA patients are limited. Method In this study, we recruited 30 healthy controls and 21 RA patients. Clinical characteristics were collected for RA patients. The levels of LIGHT, HVEM and BTLA expressed on the surface of circulating T cells of RA patients and healthy controls were measured by flow cytometry. Result The percentages of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes that expressed BTLA from RA patients were all higher than those of the controls (all p < 0.05), while the percentages of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes that expressed HVEM and LIGHT were all lower than those of the controls (all p < 0.05). The rheumatoid factor and the percentage of HVEM+CD4+ T lymphocytes showed a statistically significant negative correlation in RA patients (r = -0.453, p = 0.039), as did the swollen joint count and the percentage of BTLA+CD8+ T lymphocytes (r = -0.501, p = 0.021). Conclusion Here, we provide the first report on the increased expression of BTLA in T lymphocytes and on the decreased expression of HVEM and LIGHT in RA patients. BTLA, HVEM and LIGHT might be involved in the pathogenesis of RA and have the potential to be new clinically useful characteristics of RA.

Abstract
LIGHT, a TNF superfamily member, is involved in T-cell homeostasis and erosive bone disease associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Herein, we investigated whether LIGHT has a role in Multiple Myeloma (MM)-bone disease. We found that LIGHT was overproduced by CD14+ monocytes, CD8+ T-cells and neutrophils of peripheral blood and bone marrow (BM) from MM-bone disease patients. We also found that LIGHT induced osteoclastogenesis and inhibited osteoblastogenesis. In cultures from healthy-donors, LIGHT induced osteoclastogenesis in RANKL-dependent and -independent manners. In the presence of a sub-optimal RANKL concentration, LIGHT and RANKL synergically stimulated osteoclast formation, through the phosphorylation of Akt, NFκB and JNK pathways. In cultures of BM samples from patients with bone disease, LIGHT inhibited the formation of CFU-F and CFU-OB as well as the expression of osteoblastic markers including collagen-I, osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein-II. LIGHT indirectly inhibited osteoblastogenesis in part through sclerostin expressed by monocytes. In conclusion, our findings for the first time provide evidence for a role of LIGHT in MM-bone disease development.

Abstract
Bone diseases are associated with great morbidity; thus, the understanding of the mechanisms leading to their development represents a great challenge to improve bone health. Recent reports suggest that a large number of molecules produced by immune cells affect bone cell activity. However, the mechanisms are incompletely understood. This review aims to shed new lights into the mechanisms of bone diseases involving immune cells. In particular, we focused our attention on the major pathogenic mechanism underlying periodontal disease, psoriatic arthritis, postmenopausal osteoporosis, glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, metastatic solid tumors, and multiple myeloma.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are bone resorbing multinucleated cells (MNCs) derived from macrophage progenitors. IL-33 has been reported to drive osteoclastogenesis independently of receptor activator of NFκB ligand (RANKL) but this remains controversial as later studies did not confirm this. We found IL-33 clearly elicited functional dentine-resorbing osteoclast formation from human adult monocytes. However, monocytes from only 3 of 12 donors responded this way, while all responded to RANKL. Human cord blood-derived progenitors and murine bone marrow macrophages lacked an osteoclastogenic response to IL-33. In RAW264.7 cells, IL-33 elicited NFκB and p38 responses but not NFATc1 signals (suggesting poor osteoclastogenic responses) and formed only mononuclear tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase positive (TRAP(+)) cells. Since TGFβ boosts osteoclastogenesis in RAW264.7 cells we employed an IL-33/TGFβ co-treatment, which resulted in small numbers of MNCs expressing key osteoclast markers TRAP and calcitonin receptors. Thus, IL-33 possesses weak osteoclastogenic activity suggesting pathological significance and, perhaps, explaining previous conflicting reports.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening of total joint replacements is driven by the reaction of macrophages to foreign body particles released from the implant. It was hypothesized that the macrophages' response to these particles is dependent, in addition to particle characteristics and contaminating biomolecules, on the state of macrophage polarization as determined by the local cytokine microenvironment. To test this hypothesis we differentiated M1 and M2 macrophages from human peripheral blood monocytes and compared their responses to titanium particles using genome-wide microarray analysis and a multiplex cytokine assay. In comparison to non-activated M0 macrophages, the overall chemotactic and inflammatory responses to titanium particles were greatly enhanced in M1 macrophages and effectively suppressed in M2 macrophages. In addition, the genome-wide approach revealed several novel, potentially osteolytic, particle-induced mediators, and signaling pathway analysis suggested the involvement of toll-like and nod-like receptor signaling in particle recognition. It is concluded that the magnitude of foreign body reaction caused by titanium particles is dependent on the state of macrophage polarization. Thus, by limiting the action of M1 polarizing factors, e.g. bacterial biofilm formation, in peri-implant tissues and promoting M2 macrophage polarization by biomaterial solutions or pharmacologically, it might be possible to restrict wear-particle-induced inflammation and osteolysis.

Abstract
LIGHT is a type II transmembrane protein belonging to the TNF superfamily which is involved in co-stimulation of T cells or apoptosis in tumors. In this study, the possibility of LIGHT-mediated reverse signaling was tested in the human monocytic leukemia cell line, THP-1. For stimulation of LIGHT, cells were stimulated with specific monoclonal antibody and changes in macrophage-related functions such as phagocytosis, adhesion, migration, cytokine secretion, and production of pro-inflammatory mediators were tested. Triggering of LIGHT induced production of pro-inflammatory mediators such as interleukin (IL)-8 and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 while suppressing the phagocytic activity. Utilization of signaling inhibitors and Western blot demonstrated that LIGHT activated ERK MAPK and PI3K and the major inflammatory transcription factor NF-κB. These data indicate that LIGHT-mediated signaling could modulate the macrophage activities and that successful regulation of its activity could be beneficial to the treatment of chronic inflammatory conditions where macrophages play an important role.

Abstract
Objective.To identify soluble biomarkers associated with response to therapy with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).Methods.The study was conducted at a PsA clinic where patients are assessed every 6 months, and serum samples are collected and stored once a year at the time of clinical assessment. Forty patients with active PsA who gave serum samples prior to treatment with TNFi and after at least 3 months of therapy were identified. Patients were classified as TNFi responders if tender joint count was < 3, swollen joint count was 0, and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score was < 4 at the time the second sample was collected. The following biomarkers were tested by ELISA: TNF superfamily 14, matrix metalloprotease-3 (MMP-3), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand, osteoprotegerin, cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), CPII, C2C and C1-2C, CS-846, and highly sensitive C-reactive protein. Paired t tests and logistic regression was used for statistical analyses.Results.After a mean treatment duration of 11 months with TNFi (etanercept 28 patients, adalimumab 6, golimumab 4, infliximab 2), 29 patients were classified as TNFi responders. Baseline level of MMP-3 was independently associated with responder status (OR 1.067 for each 1-unit increase, p = 0.045). A reduction in MMP-3 levels with therapy increased the odds of achieving response (OR 1.213 for each 1-unit change, p = 0.030), whereas a reduction in COMP decreased the odds (OR 0.587, for each 100-unit increase, p = 0.039). None of the other biomarkers was associated with response.Conclusion.Baseline as well as reduction in serum MMP-3 and increase in serum COMP are independently associated with response to TNFi therapy in patients with PsA.

Abstract
LIGHT (TNFSF14) is a member of the TNF superfamily and is known to substitute for RANKL to induce osteoclast differentiation. LIGHT binds HVEM and LTβR, but it is not known whether these receptors play a role in osteoclast formation or whether LIGHT acts via RANKL signalling pathways. We found that both RANKL and LIGHT strongly induced phosphorylation of Akt and NFκB but not JNK in mouse osteoclast precursor cells. The addition of an Akt inhibitor showed decreased osteoclast differentiation and resorption mediated by both RANKL and LIGHT. RT-PCR and FACS analysis showed that CD14(+) human osteoclast precursors expressed HVEM and LTβR; expression levels of HVEM increased in the course of osteoclastogenesis and a decrease in LIGHT expression was associated with an increase in HVEM suggesting that there is a feedback loop related to this receptor. Our findings show that LIGHT is not inhibited by the soluble RANKL receptor OPG and that LIGHT is a potent osteoclastogenesis factor that activates the Akt, NFκB and JNK pathways.
