Interleukin-4 and Interleukin-13 Stimulate the Osteoclast Inhibitor Osteoprotegerin by Human Endothelial Cells Through the STAT6 Pathway

Abstract: ABSTRACT:Introduction: Endothelial cells of the bone vasculature modulate development, remodeling, and repair of bone by secreting osteotropic cytokines and hormones, which can act on osteoblastic and osteoclastic lineage cells. RANKL is the essential factor for differentiation, activation, and survival of osteoclasts, whereas osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a soluble decoy receptor and inhibitor for RANKL. Materials and Methods: In this study, we analyzed the regulation of OPG by T helper 2 (Th2) cytokines interleuk… Show more

“…Although myeloid hyperplasia has been described in combat related HO [4], IL-3 is a potent inhibitor of osteoblastic differentiation [5]. Similarly, IL-13, in addition to inhibiting macrophage activity, has been shown to increase osteoprotegerin expression that serves to inhibit osteoclastogenesis [19]. Its role during the early stages of HO is unknown.…”

“…In agreement with these findings, we observe the highest IL-13 in the group with the smallest lesions. Interestingly, IL-13 has been shown to induce OPG in endothelial cells and osteoblasts 44 ; however, whether OPG also regulates IL-13 is not known.…”

“…Aside IL-1, T-cell-derived lymphokines have been elegantly documented to be instrumental in regulating osteoclast differentiation. Th2 cell-derived IL-4 as well as Th1 cell-derived IFN-g effectively suppress osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption [11,13,24]. Moreover, Treg cells also suppress osteoclast formation by cell-cell contact-dependent mechanisms [14].…”
