IgE-mediated mast cell activation promotes inflammation and cartilage destruction in osteoarthritis

Abstract: Osteoarthritis is characterized by articular cartilage breakdown, and emerging evidence suggests that dysregulated innate immunity is likely involved. Here, we performed proteomic, transcriptomic, and electron microscopic analyses to demonstrate that mast cells are aberrantly activated in human and murine osteoarthritic joint tissues. Using genetic models of mast cell deficiency, we demonstrate that lack of mast cells attenuates osteoarthritis in mice. Using genetic and pharmacologic approaches, we show that t… Show more

“…Furthermore, the inhibition of tryptase activity in wildtype mice prevented OA and reduced the concentrations of the pro-inflammatory and proteolytic mediators, e.g., IL-6, IL-1β, IL-8, and MMP-3. The authors further showed that in OA, MCs are activated via the IgE/FcεRI receptor axis (196). Another study showed that synovial MCs from OA patients produce TNF-α upon stimulation via the high-affinity receptor for IgG (174).…”

“…Interestingly, it has been shown that MCs may also play a role in OA, in which joint destruction is mainly caused by degeneration, abnormal high loads, or traumatic injuries (190), and driven by an increased inflammatory response (191). Several clinical studies reported increased MC numbers in the synovial tissue of OA patients and/or elevated histamine or tryptase levels in the synovial fluid (7,(192)(193)(194)(195)(196). Gene cluster analysis revealed increased expression of genes involved in MC differentiation and activity (c-KIT, tryptase genes TPSAB1, and TPSAB2) in the synovial membranes of OA patients (196).…”
