Blocking the CCL5/CCL7-CCR1 axis regulates macrophage polarization through NF-κB pathway to alleviate the progression of osteoarthritis.
Objective: To study the effect of CCR1 and its ligands on macrophage polarization and evaluate its effect on chondrocytes in relieving the progression of osteoarthritis.
Methods: RAW cells were polarized to M1/M2 subtype, and then different concentrations of BX471 were added to selectively inhibit CCR1. The polarization of the cells was detected by RT-qPCR, immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. CCL5 and CCL7 genes were silenced by SiRNA and its role in macrophage polarization was analyzed. Macrophage conditioned medium was further used to stimulate chondrocytes. Histological observation was carried out on models of medial meniscus (DMM) with or without BX471 treatment.
Results: We found that blocking of CCR1 and silencing of its ligand, CCL5 and CCL7, reduced the polarization of M1 macrophages. In terms of mechanism, we found that blocking CCR1 could reduce the activation of NF-κB pathway and inhibit the phosphorylation of IKK, IκBα and P65. In addition, blocking of CCR1 could also reduce cartilage injury induced by macrophage conditioned medium. In vivo, blocking of CCR1 reduced the infiltration and accumulation of M1 macrophages and alleviated articular cartilage injury.
Conclusion: CCL5/CCL7-CCR1 axis was involved in macrophage polarization, and blocking it could reduce synovitis and alleviate the process of OA.
期刊介绍:
International Immunopharmacology is the primary vehicle for the publication of original research papers pertinent to the overlapping areas of immunology, pharmacology, cytokine biology, immunotherapy, immunopathology and immunotoxicology. Review articles that encompass these subjects are also welcome.
The subject material appropriate for submission includes:
• Clinical studies employing immunotherapy of any type including the use of: bacterial and chemical agents; thymic hormones, interferon, lymphokines, etc., in transplantation and diseases such as cancer, immunodeficiency, chronic infection and allergic, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
• Studies on the mechanisms of action of these agents for specific parameters of immune competence as well as the overall clinical state.
• Pre-clinical animal studies and in vitro studies on mechanisms of action with immunopotentiators, immunomodulators, immunoadjuvants and other pharmacological agents active on cells participating in immune or allergic responses.
• Pharmacological compounds, microbial products and toxicological agents that affect the lymphoid system, and their mechanisms of action.
• Agents that activate genes or modify transcription and translation within the immune response.
• Substances activated, generated, or released through immunologic or related pathways that are pharmacologically active.
• Production, function and regulation of cytokines and their receptors.
• Classical pharmacological studies on the effects of chemokines and bioactive factors released during immunological reactions.
