Cytokine Inhibitors Upregulate Extracellular Matrix Anabolism of Human Intervertebral Discs under Alginate Beads and Alginate-Embedded Explant Cultures. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:12336. [PMID: 37569715 PMCID: PMC10418414 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241512336] [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: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
We investigated the effects of the cytokine inhibitors IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (sTNFR1) on the extracellular matrix metabolism of human intervertebral discs (IVDs) and the roles of IL-1β and TNF in the homeostasis of IVD cells. The 1.2% alginate beads and the explants obtained from 35 human lumbar discs were treated with cytokine inhibitors. Extracellular matrix metabolism was evaluated by proteoglycan (PG) and collagen syntheses and IL-1β, TNF, and IL-6 expressions after three days of culture in the presence or absence of IL-1Ra, sTNFR1, and cycloheximide. Simultaneous treatment with IL-1Ra and sTNFR1 stimulated PG and collagen syntheses in the NP and AF cells and explants. The IL-1β concentration was significantly correlated to the relative increase in PG synthesis in AF explants after simultaneous cytokine inhibitor treatment. The relative increase in PG synthesis induced by simultaneous cytokine treatment was significantly higher in an advanced grade of MRI. Expressions of IL-1β and TNF were upregulated by each cytokine inhibitor, and simultaneous treatment suppressed IL-1β and TNF productions. In conclusion, IL-1Ra and sTNFR1 have the potential to increase PG and collagen synthesis in IVDs. IL-1β and TNF have a feedback pathway to maintain optimal expression, resulting in the control of homeostasis in IVD explants.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common diagnosed cancer worldwide, but there are no effective cures for it. Hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein-1 (HAPLN1) is a component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and involved in the tumor environment in the colon. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β is a key cytokine that regulates the deposition of ECM proteins in CRC. However, the role of HAPLN1 in TGF-β contributions to CRC remains unknown. We found that the mRNA expression of HAPLN1 was decreased in tumors from CRC patients compared with healthy controls and normal tissue adjacent to the tumor using two existing microarray datasets. This was validated at the protein level by tissue array from CRC patients (n = 59). HAPLN1 protein levels were also reduced in human CRC epithelial cells after 24 h of TGF-β stimulation, and its protein expression correlated with type I collagen alpha-1 (COL1A1) in CRC. Transfection of HAPLN1 overexpression plasmids into these cells increased protein levels but reduced COL1A1 protein, tumor growth, and cancer cell migration. TGF-β stimulation increased Smad2/3, p-Smad2/3, Smad4, and E-adhesion proteins; however, HAPLN1 overexpression restored these proteins to baseline levels in CRC epithelial cells after TGF-β stimulation. These findings suggest that HAPLN1 regulates the TGF-β signaling pathway to control collagen deposition via the TGF-β signaling pathway and mediates E-adhesion to control tumor growth. Thus, treatments that increase HAPLN1 levels may be a novel therapeutic option for CRC.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-17, a proinflammatory cytokine, is produced primarily by activated Th17 cells. IL-17 consists of six ligands that signal through five receptors (IL-17Rs); IL-17A and IL-17F share the highest homology in the family. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade the extracellular matrix during cartilage remodeling whereas tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) inhibit the action of MMPs. In the present study, we examined the effect of IL-17F on the degradation and synthesis of the extracellular matrix in cartilage using human articular chondrocytes. We examined the effect of IL-17F on the expression of IL-17Rs, MMPs, TIMPs, type II collagen, aggrecan, link protein, and cyclooxygenases (COXs), as well as on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production. We also examined the indirect effect of PGE2 on the above IL-17F-induced/reduced components using NS-398, a specific inhibitor of COX-2. Cells were cultured with or without IL-17F in the presence or absence of either an IL-17R antibody or NS-398 for up to 28 days. Expression of IL-17Rs, MMPs, TIMPs, type II collagen, aggrecan, link protein, and COXs at mRNA and protein levels was determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively. PGE2 production was determined by ELISA. The expression of all types of IL-17Rs was detected in chondrocytes. However, IL-17RE expression was extremely low, compared with other IL-17Rs. The expression of MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-13, and COX-2 as well as PGE2 production were increased by addition of IL-17F, whereas the expression of IL-17RD, TIMP-2, TIMP-4, type II collagen, aggrecan, link protein, and COX-1 was decreased. The expression of IL-17RA, IL-17RB, IL-17RC, MMP-2, MMP-14, TIMP-1, and TIMP-3 was unaffected by addition of IL-17F. The IL-17R antibody blocked the stimulating/reducing effect of IL-17F on the expression of MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-13, TIMP-2, TIMP-4, type II collagen, aggrecan, and link protein. NS-398 blocked the reducing effect of IL-17F on aggrecan expression, whereas it did not completely block the stimulating/reducing effects of IL-17F on the expression of MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-13, TIMP-2, TIMP-4, type II collagen, and link protein. Our results suggest that IL-17F stimulates cartilage degradation by increasing the expression of collagenases (MMP-1 and -13) and stromelysin-1 (MMP-3) and by decreasing expression of their inhibitors (TIMP-2 and -4), type II collagen, aggrecan, and link protein in chondrocytes. Furthermore, our results suggest that the expression of aggrecan, link protein, and TIMP-4 decrease through the autocrine action of PGE2 in chondrocytes.

Abstract
Periovulatory follicular matrix plays an important role in cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) expansion, ovulation, and luteal formation. Hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein 1 (HAPLN1), a component of follicular matrix, was shown to enhance COC expansion in vitro. However, the regulatory mechanisms of periovulatory expression of Hapln1 and its role in periovulatory granulosa cells have not been elucidated. We first determined the periovulatory expression pattern of Hapln1 using pregnant mare serum gonadotropin/human chorionic gonadotropin (PMSG/hCG)-primed immature rat ovaries. Hapln1 expression was transiently induced both in intact ovaries and granulosa cells at 8 h and 12 h after hCG injection. This in vivo expression of Hapln1 was recapitulated by culturing preovulatory granulosa cells with hCG. The stimulatory effect of hCG was blocked by inhibition of protein kinase A, phosphatidylinositol-dependent kinase, p38 MAPK, epidermal growth factor signaling, and prostaglandin synthesis, revealing key mediators involved in LH-induced Hapln1 expression. In addition, knockdown of Runx1 and Runx2 expression by small interfering RNA or inhibition of RUNX activities by dominant-negative RUNX decreased hCG or agonist-induced Hapln1 expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays verified the in vivo binding of RUNX1 and RUNX2 to the Hapln1 promoter in periovulatory granulosa cells. Luciferase reporter assays revealed that mutation of the RUNX binding sites completely obliterated the agonist-induced activity of the Hapln1 promoter. These data conclusively identified RUNX proteins as the crucial transcription regulators for LH-induced Hapln1 expression. Functionally, treatment with HAPLN1 increased the viability of cultured granulosa cells and decreased the number of the cells undergoing apoptosis, whereas knockdown of Hapln1 expression decreased granulosa cells viability. This novel finding indicates that HAPLN1 may promote periovulatory granulosa cell survival, which would facilitate their differentiation into luteal cells.

Abstract
Elevated interleukin (IL)-1 concentrations in synovial fluid have been implicated in joint bone and cartilage destruction. Previously, we showed that IL-1beta stimulated the expression of prostaglandin (PG) receptor EP4 via increased PGE(2) production. However, the effect of IL-1beta on osteoclast formation via chondrocytes is unclear. Therefore, we examined the effect of IL-1beta and/or celecoxib on the expression of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL), and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in human chondrocytes, and the indirect effect of IL-1beta on osteoclast-like cell formation using RAW264.7 cells. OPG and RANKL expression increased with IL-1beta; whereas M-CSF expression decreased. Celecoxib blocked the stimulatory effect of IL-1beta. Conditioned medium from IL-1beta-treated chondrocytes decreased TRAP staining in RAW264.7 cells. These results suggest that IL-1beta suppresses the formation of osteoclast-like cells via increased OPG production and decreased M-CSF production in chondrocytes, and OPG production may increase through an autocrine mechanism involving celecoxib-related PGs.

Abstract
Prostaglandin (PG) E(2), which exerts its actions via the PG receptors EP1-4, is produced from arachidonic acid by cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms by which interleukin (IL)-1beta induces the expression of PG receptors in cultured human chondrocytes and to explore the role of PGE(2) in this process. The cells were cultured with 0, 10, or 100 U/mL IL-1beta with or without 1 muM celecoxib, a specific inhibitor of COX-2, for up to 28 days. Expression of the genes encoding COX-1, COX-2, and EP1-4 was quantified using real-time PCR, and expression of the corresponding proteins was examined using immunohistochemical staining. PGE(2) production was determined using ELISA. IL-1beta treatment caused a marked dose- and time-dependent increase in the levels of PGE(2), COX-2, and EP4 as compared with the untreated control. It did not affect the expression of COX-1, and it decreased the expression of EP1 and EP2. EP3 expression was not detected in either the absence or the presence of IL-1beta. When celecoxib was also present, IL-1beta failed to stimulate PGE(2) production and EP4 expression, but its stimulatory effect on COX-2 expression and its inhibitory effect on EP1 and EP2 expression were unchanged. IL-1beta increases the production of PGE(2), COX-2, and the PG receptor EP4 in cultured human chondrocytes. The increase in EP4 expression appears to be a result of the increased PGE(2) production.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Gram-negative bacteria in plaque induces the release of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), which promotes alveolar bone resorption in periodontitis, and that tobacco smoking might be an important risk factor for the development and severity of periodontitis. We determined the effect of nicotine and LPS on alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity, PGE(2) production, and the expression of cyclooxygenase (COX-1, COX-2), PGE(2) receptors Ep1>4, and macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) in human osteoblastic Saos-2 cells. The cells were cultured with 10(-3) M nicotine in the presence of 0, 1, or 10 mug/ml LPS, or with LPS alone. ALPase activity decreased in cells cultured with nicotine or LPS alone, and decreased further in those cultured with both nicotine and LPS, whereas PGE(2) production significantly increased in the former and increased further in the latter. By itself, nicotine did not affect expression of COX-1, COX-2, any of the PGE(2) receptors, or M-CSF, but when both nicotine and LPS were present, expression of COX-2, Ep3, Ep4, and M-CSF increased significantly. Simultaneous addition of 10(-4) M indomethacin eliminated the effects of nicotine and LPS on ALPase activity, PGE(2) production, and M-CSF expression. Phosphorylation of protein kinase A was high in cells cultured with nicotine and LPS. These results suggest that LPS enhances the production of nicotine-induced PGE(2) by an increase in COX-2 expression in osteoblasts, that nicotine-LPS-induced PGE2 interacts with the osteoblast Ep4 receptor primarily in autocrine or paracrine mode, and that the nicotine-LPS-induced PGE(2) then decreases ALPase activity and increases M-CSF expression.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a proinflammatory cytokine that is a potent stimulator of bone resorption and an inhibitor of bone formation, whereas macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of NF-kappaB (RANK) ligand (RANKL) are essential and sufficient for osteoclast differentiation. Recently, we showed that IL-1alpha affects mineralized nodule formation in vitro and halts bone matrix turnover. We also showed that IL-1alpha stimulates osteoclast formation via the interaction of RANKL with RANK by increasing M-CSF and prostaglandin E(2) and decreasing osteoprotegerin. Here, we examined the effects of IL-1alpha or RANKL and/or M-CSF in the presence of IL-1alpha on the expression of carbonic anhydrase II (CAII), cathepsin K, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), RANK, M-CSF receptor (c-fms), and c-fos transcription factor using RAW264.7 cells as osteoclast precursors. Cells were cultured for up to 14 days in 0 or 100 U/ml IL-1alpha and either 50 ng/ml RANKL, 10 ng/ml M-CSF, or 50 ng/ml RANKL+10 ng/ml M-CSF in the presence of 100 U/ml IL-1alpha. The formation of osteoclast-like cells was estimated using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining. Expression of the genes coding for the six proteins of interest was determined using real-time PCR, and the expression of the three enzymes was examined using Western blotting or ELISA. In the presence of IL-1alpha, expression of CAII, cathepsin K, and MMP-9 was markedly increased in cells cultured with RANKL or M-CSF+RANKL, whereas expression was difficult to detect in cells cultured with IL-1alpha alone and M-CSF. RANK and c-fos expression was also increased in cells cultured with RANKL or M-CSF+RANKL in the presence of IL-1alpha, whereas c-fms expression did not change. These results indicate that the expression of CAII, cathepsin K, and MMP-9 in RAW264.7 cells is not induced by M-CSF, but by RANKL in the presence of IL-1alpha.

Abstract
Elevated concentrations of interleukin (IL)-6 and soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6Ralpha) in synovial fluid have been implicated in joint cartilage destruction. We examined the effect of IL-6 and sIL-6Ralpha on cell growth, alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity, and the expression of Sox-9, type II collagen, aggrecan core, link protein, BMP-7, and BMP receptors in human chondrocytes. Cell proliferation increased slightly in the presence of both IL-6 and sIL-6Ralpha, whereas ALPase activity decreased markedly. The expression of Sox-9 and aggrecan core did not change in the presence or absence of IL-6 and sIL-6Ralpha, whereas the expression of type II collagen, link protein, BMP-7, and BMP receptors increased in the presence of both IL-6 and sIL-6Ralpha. These results suggest that IL-6 and sIL-6Ralpha suppress the differentiation of chondrocytes and induce the repair of arthrodial cartilage through an increase in the expression of cartilage matrix proteins, BMP-7, and BMP receptors in the cells.

Abstract
Cytokines released at sites of inflammation and infection can alter the normal processes of cartilage turnover, resulting in pathologic destruction or formation. Interleukin (IL)-1beta plays a central role in the pathophysiology of cartilage damage and degradation in arthritis. In the present study, we examined the effect of IL-1beta on the expression of IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-11, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and their receptors in human chondrocytes. The cells were cultured either with or without 100 U/ml of IL-1beta for up to 28 days. The level of expression of the cytokines and their receptors was estimated by determining mRNA levels using real-time PCR or by determining protein levels using ELISA. The expression of IL-1beta, IL-8, and TNF-alpha markedly increased in the presence of IL-1beta after day 14 of culture. The expression of IL-6 and IL-11 increased greatly in the presence of IL-1beta on day 1 and after day 14 of culture. The expression of IL-1beta, IL-8, IL-11, and TNF-alpha receptors significantly decreased in the presence of IL-1beta after day 14 of culture, whereas the expression of IL-6 receptor significantly increased. The expression of these cytokines, except for IL-6, decreased with the addition of human IL-1 receptor antagonist. These results suggest that IL-1beta promotes the resolution system of cartilage matrix turnover through an increase in inflammatory cytokine production by chondrocytes and that it also may promote the autocrine action of IL-6 through an increase in IL-6 receptor expression in the cells.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that one of the causes of alveolar bone destruction with periodontitis is lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria in plaque, and that prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is one of the bone resorption factors that stimulate osteoclast formation through an intercellular interaction between osteoblasts and osteoclast precursors. The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of LPS on cell growth, alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity, the production of PGE(2), and the expression of receptors by PGE(2), cyclooxygenase (COX)-1, and COX-2, using human osteosarcoma cell line Saos-2 as osteoblasts. The cells were cultured with 0, 1, or 10 microg mL(-1) of LPS for up to 14 days. The production of PGE(2) and the gene expression of COX-1, COX-2, and PGE(2) receptors, including Ep1, Ep2, Ep3, and Ep4, were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT-PCR), respectively. With the addition of LPS, cell growth and ALPase activity decreased by day 5 of the culture, while PGE(2) production increased in a dose-dependent manner throughout the entire 14-day culture period. LPS-reduced ALP activity and LPS-induced PGE(2) production returned to the control level by the addition simultaneously with indomethacin. The expression of COX-1, Ep1, Ep2, and Ep3 receptors decreased on day 14 of the culture, whereas the expression of COX-2 and Ep4 receptors increased significantly with the addition of LPS. These results suggest that LPS promotes PGE(2) production by increasing the expression of COX-2, and that LPS promotes the production of Ep4 receptors in osteoblasts. These results also indicate that LPS-induced PGE(2) may combine with osteoblast Ep4 receptors in autocrine or paracrine modes, and may promote the formation of osteoclasts.

The effect of IL-1beta on the expression of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases in human chondrocytes. Life Sci 2005; 77:3210-21. [PMID: 15979654 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2005.05.052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 75] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2005] [Revised: 04/06/2005] [Accepted: 05/24/2005] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays key roles in altering cartilage matrix turnover. This turnover is regulated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs). In the present study, we examined the effect of IL-1beta on cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity, and the expression of MMPs, and TIMPs in chondrocytes derived from normal human femoral cartilage. The cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing 15% fetal bovine serum and 0, 1, 10, or 100 U/ml of IL-1beta for up to 28 days. The level of expression of MMPs and TIMPs was estimated by determining mRNA levels using real-time PCR and by determining protein levels using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Cell proliferation decreased in the presence of IL-1beta after day 21 of culture. ALPase activity decreased significantly in the presence of IL-1beta after day 10 of culture. The expression of MMP-1, -2, and -3 increased markedly in the presence of IL-1beta after day 21 of culture. MMP-13 expression increased markedly in the presence of IL-1beta on day 1 of culture, but decreased markedly after day 7. The expression of TIMP-1 increased significantly after day 14 of culture. The expression of TIMP-2 decreased significantly on day 1, but increased significantly from day 3 to day 14 of culture. These results suggest that IL-1beta may stimulate cartilage matrix turnover by increasing mainly MMP-13 production by the cells.

Abstract
Gene expression profiling of three chondrosarcoma derived cell lines (AD, SM, 105KC) showed an increased proliferative activity and a reduced expression of chondrocytic-typical matrix products compared to primary chondrocytes. The incapability to maintain an adequate matrix synthesis as well as a notable proliferative activity at the same time is comparable to neoplastic chondrosarcoma cells in vivo which cease largely cartilage matrix formation as soon as their proliferative activity increases. Thus, the investigated cell lines are of limited value as substitute of primary chondrocytes but might have a much higher potential to investigate the behavior of neoplastic chondrocytes, i.e. chondrosarcoma biology.
