Effects of exogenous IL-1β, TNFα, IL-6, IL-8 and LIF on cytokine production by human articular chondrocytes

Abstract: Cytokines are potent regulators of the chondrocyte functions. Some of them are produced by chondrocytes and interact to regulate cartilage metabolism. In this study, we investigated the production of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), IL-6, IL-8 and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) by human chondrocytes and examined the modulation of their secretion by exogenous cytokines. Human articular chondrocytes were isolated from their extracellular matrix by a triple successive enzymatic digestion of the cartilage. Subseq… Show more

“…Treatment with TNF␣, either alone or in combination with injury, dramatically increased chondrocyte synthesis of endogenous IL-6 ( Figure 5); this finding is consistent with the results of previous studies showing that IL-1 and TNF␣ greatly increase the production of IL-6 (46). To test whether endogenous IL-6 plays a role in proteoglycan degradation caused by injury plus TNF␣ treatment, we treated explants with an anti-IL-6 Fab fragment and found that GAG loss was significantly decreased ( Figure 6).…”

“…On the other hand, IL-6 is necessary for the IL-1-induced inhibition of proteoglycan synthesis in human articular cartilage [41]. Finally, we have also demonstrated that IL-6 is able to inhibit partially the spontaneous production of IL-8 by chondrocytes [42]. Consequently, we must be cautious in considering the real physiopathological implication of the inhibition of IL-6 production by A/S unsaponifiable mixtures.…”

“…5,9,10 In line with our IL-1 expression data, no significant induction of IL-6 was observed in osteoarthritic chondrocytes in situ, though this gene is strongly induced by IL-1␤ in articular chondrocytes. 16,18 The observed minor changes in cytokine expression levels might be due to a selective zonal induction of IL-1␤, which, as discussed below, could be important in mediating matrix degradation as well as normal matrix homeostasis. The presence of low IL-1␤ bioactivity was, however, documented by the significant coexpression patterns of IL-6 with IL-1␤ in osteoarthritic cartilage.…”
