Macrophage colony-stimulating factor in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract: Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) is a cytokine involved in the development and proliferation of the monocyte/macrophage lineage cells. M-CSF has also been reported to participate in the induction of osteoclasts, and may be important in the destruction of bone and cartilage and the periarticular osteoporotic changes seen in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We developed a new ELISA technique to measure M-CSF levels in synovial fluid with high sensitivity and reproducibility. The mean M-CSF le… Show more

“…Clinical scores for the mice were determined for each of the four paws on study days [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. The scores for all the four paws were given using the following criteria: 0, normal joints; 1, swelling in one digit or joint or minimal diffuse erythema; 2, swelling in two digits or joints or mild diffuse erythema; 3, swelling in three digits or joints or moderate diffuse erythema; 4, swelling in four digits or joints or marked diffuse erythema; 5, severe diffuse erythema and severe swelling of the entire paw and rigid joints.…”

“…SB1578 was administered orally twice daily to the mice only after the onset of disease (starting days [18][19][20][21][22], which was evident by swelling in at least one paw, and the treatment was continued for 10 d postenrollment. In the vehicle group, the clinical arthritic score rapidly increased from 0.52 6 0.2 on disease day 1 to 2.8 6 1.2 on disease day 11 (Fig.…”

“…CSF-1 promotes osteoclast development and bone degradation in vitro (11,12) and, thus, could contribute to the excessive osteoclast activity in osteoporosis and at sites of orthopedic implant failure (13,14). CSF-1 is elevated in the synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis patients (15), and synovial fibroblasts from rheumatoid arthritis patients produce high levels of CSF-1 (16), suggesting a role for CSF-1 in joint degradation. Increases in CSF-1 production are also associated with the accumulation of tissue macrophages seen in inflammatory bowel disease (17), glomerulonephritis (18), allograft rejection (19), and arteriosclerosis (20).…”

“…Similarly, the enhanced osteoclastogenesis observed following deletion of the β3 integrin gene is due to stimulated M-CSF expression [25]. Regarding inflammatory osteolysis, the cytokine is increased in the serum of patients with RA [26] and those with severe ankylosing spondylitis [27], as well as in the synovial fluid around loose joint prostheses [28].…”
