IL-1β is readily detectable in numerous joint inflammations. It can change the transcriptomic signature of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) of arthritis toward promoting migration and invasion that are relevant to arthritis progression. We hypothesize that IL-1β partially contributes to the onset of osteoarthritis (OA). We compared the tissue samples from OA and fracture subjects and found that IL-1β expression was significantly higher in the OA synovium, while TNF-α expression showed no significance. We demonstrated that IL-1β significantly increases the IL-6 and IL-8 secretions of human normal FLS; however, IL-1β does not induce TNF secretion. With metabolic labeling based proteomics and pathway analysis, we found that IL-1β significantly increases the TNF downstream protein expression in FLS even with complete absence of TNF and/or blocking of the NF-κB pathway. Among these proteins, we verified that p62 can differentiate the OA from fracture synovitis. In conclusion, we demonstrated that IL-1β can amplify the TNF downstream protein signals in human synoviocytes in a TNF-independent manner; in addition, p62 is a potential FLS biomarker for synovitis.
IL-1β 在许多关节炎症中都能被轻易检测到。它可以改变关节炎成纤维样滑膜细胞(FLS)的转录组特征,促进与关节炎进展相关的迁移和侵袭。我们假设 IL-1β 部分导致了骨关节炎(OA)的发生。我们比较了 OA 和骨折患者的组织样本,发现 OA 滑膜中的 IL-1β 表达明显更高,而 TNF-α 的表达则没有显著差异。我们证明,IL-1β 显著增加了人正常 FLS 的 IL-6 和 IL-8 的分泌;然而,IL-1β 并不诱导 TNF 的分泌。通过基于代谢标记的蛋白质组学和通路分析,我们发现,即使在完全缺乏 TNF 和/或阻断 NF-κB 通路的情况下,IL-1β 也能显著增加 FLS 中 TNF 下游蛋白的表达。在这些蛋白质中,我们验证了 p62 可以区分 OA 和骨折性滑膜炎。总之,我们证明了 IL-1β 可以以 TNF 非依赖性的方式放大人滑膜细胞中 TNF 下游蛋白的信号;此外,p62 是滑膜细胞的一个潜在的 FLS 生物标志物。
