Transgenic mice expressing soluble tumor necrosis factor-receptor are protected against bone loss caused by estrogen deficiency.

Abstract: To evaluate the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF ␣ ) in bone loss resulting from estrogen deficiency, the effects of ovariectomy were explored in six-month-old transgenic mice expressing high blood levels of a soluble TNF receptor type I (sTNFR1)-FcIgG3 fusion protein, which neutralizes TNF ␣ , and in their nontransgenic littermates used as controls. These transgenic mice were identical to control mice in bone mass (evaluated by bone mineral density and content) and strength. 12 weeks after ovariectomy, the … Show more

“…BMSCs were seeded at a density of 5,000 cells per cm 2 and routinely cultured in a growth medium consisting of DMEM containing 10% FCS, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, and 1% L-glutamine. Cells were maintained at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO 2 in air for 1 or 7 days.…”

“…Interfering with TNF-α and IL-1β action may also be beneficial in preventing bone loss in diseases not usually considered as inflammatory, such as post-menopausal osteoporosis. Indeed, ovariectomized mice do not lose bone in absence of TNF-α [2,3] or IL-1 [3][4][5]. Moreover, bone resorption due to estrogen deficiency in women can be blocked by etanercept and anakinra, which are inhibitors of TNF-α or IL-1β respectively [6].…”

“…The compensatory increase in bone formation that follows ovx is mitigated by some of these factors, primarily TNF and IL-7, which blunt osteoblastogenesis (15,16). The pathogenic role of cytokines distinct from RANKL and OPG has been established by studies demonstrating that the silencing of TNF, IL-1, IL-6, IL-7, and M-CSF prevents ovx-induced bone loss (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23).…”

“…TNF-α, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, has been implicated in the early events related to osteoblast cell destruction. Suppression of TNF-α production or blockade of its interaction with its cellular receptors significantly inhibits deleterious effects in related osteoporotic diseases [24][25][26][27] . TNF-α activates several intracellular signaling pathways, including the AP-1 pathway, the MAPK pathway, and the JNK pathway in osteoblastic cells [28][29][30] .…”
