Abstract

Objectives. The Spondyloarthropathies (SpAs) are genetically and therapeutically linked to IL-23, which in turn regulates IL-22, a cytokine that has been implicated in the regulation of new bone formation in experimental models. We hypothesised that IL-22, a master regulator of stem cells in other niches, might also regulate human mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) osteogenesis.

Methods. The effects of IL-22 on in vitro MSC proliferation, migration and osteogenic differentiation were evaluated in the presence or absence of IFN-け and TNF (to ascertain IL-22 activity in pro-inflammatory environments). Colorimetric XTT assay, trans-well migration assays, quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction (qRTPCR) for MSC lineage markers and osteogenesis assays were used.

Results. Combined treatment of MSC with IL-22, IFN-け and TNF resulted in increased MSC proliferation (p=0.008) and migration (p=0.04); an effect which was not seen in cells treated with IL-22 alone and untreated cells. Osteogenic, adipogenic but not chondrogenic transcription factors were up-regulated by IL-22 alone (p<0.05). MSC osteogenesis was enhanced following IL-22 exposure (p=0.03, measured by calcium production). The combination of IFN-け and TNF with or without IL-22, suppressed MSC osteogenesis (p=0.03).

Conclusion. This work shows that IL-22 is involved in human MSC proliferation/migration in inflammatory environments with MSC osteogenesis occurring only in IFN-け/TNF absence. These effects of IL-22 on MSC function is a novel pathway for exploring pathological, post-inflammation osteogenesis in human SpA.
