Effect of interleukin 17 on proteoglycan degradation in murine knee joints

Abstract: Objective-To evaluate the eVect of murine interleukin 17 (IL17) on cartilage catabolism and joint inflammation by direct intra-articular injection of the cytokine into murine knee joints. Conclusion-These findings confirm, in vivo, the catabolic eVects of IL17 on cartilage. IL17 is thus the first T cell cytokine showing a direct catabolic eVect on cartilage in addition to stimulatory eVects on macrophages and synoviocytes, making it a potentially important cytokine in the pathogenesis of arthritis.

“…In vitro, it inhibits chondrocyte metabolism in intact articular cartilage of mice and results in proteoglycan breakdown (19,20,30,31). Furthermore, in vitro studies show the induction of metalloproteinases by IL-17 in synoviocytes and chondrocytes (32)(33)(34).…”

“…IL-17 was also shown to decrease the synthesis of chondrocyte proteoglycan as well as to increase the loss of proteoglycans from mouse cartilage (28,29). Local IL-17 expression in mouse knee joints resulted in a rapid depletion of proteoglycans (8,30). Moreover, synergistic effects of IL-17 in combination with other proinflammatory cytokines in inducing cartilage damage have been shown in vitro (31,32).…”

“…In addition to joint inflammation, IL-17 has clear catabolic effects on cartilage and bone [25][26][27][28]29,30]. Studies in IL-17 receptor knockout mice revealed a critical role of IL-17 receptor signaling in driving synovial expression of proinflammatory and catabolic mediators, such as IL-1 and different MMPs leading to less cartilage damage and bone erosion in experimental arthritis [11,31].…”
