Differential expression of interleukin-17 and interleukin-22 in inflamed and non-inflamed synovium from osteoarthritis patients

Abstract: Our results showed that inflammatory cytokines, including IL-17 and IL-22, are expressed at higher levels by inflamed OA synovium and suggest IL-22 involvement in OA pathophysiology. This study will help identify new therapeutic strategies for OA, especially the targeting of IL-22 to decrease inflammation.

“…Our finding that both IL-6 and IL-8 were more abundant in the synovial fluid of obese hip OA patients, compared to normal-weight patients, supports the notion that increased adiposity is associated with a more inflammatory OA phenotype 2, 22, 23 that may benefit from a different therapeutic approach.…”

“…Currently the only treatments for this debilitating condition are analgesics and eventually join replacement. Inflammation is increasingly being recognised as a driver of OA disease pathology thus implicating the synovial environment, including the role of inflammatory cytokines and infiltrated immune cells, in driving the degeneration of cartilage tissue 24 . Indeed, synovitis has been demonstrated in OA patients histologically and by MRI and ultrasound imaging 5, 6 .…”

“…The inflammatory phenotype of this patient subset is supported by previous reports correlating IL-17 with synovitis in rheumatoid arthritis and OA [27]. However, the presence of synovitis in a significant proportion of OA patients without detectable IL-17 suggests an independent inflammatory component to OA in these patients and further work is necessary to identify the cytokine networks responsible.…”

“…As stated in the introduction, pathophysiology of OA is very complex due to involvement of multiple factors [18,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Among all these factors, oxidative stress (due to excess generation of free radicals) and inflammation are proven to be the major contributing factors in joint damage and pain [67][68][69][70][71].…”
