There is still lack of effective treatment for articular bone erosion in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. At present, drugs can only relieve and inhibit bone destruction occurrence but cannot repair the bone injury. It has been reported that function of osteoblast is compromised at sites of focal bone erosion in rheumatoid arthritis. However, the molecular mechanism remains largely unknown. Casein kinase-2 interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) is a newly discovered negative regulator in osteoblast. Our previous studies find that the increased CKIP-1 expression within osteoblast well correlates with both reduced bone formation and progressive bone erosion in rodents with adjuvant-induced arthritis or collagen-induced arthritis, which indicates that aberrantly overexpressed CKIP-1 may play an important role in failure of osteoblast-mediated repair for articular bone erosion during progressive RA. Therefore, this project plans to investigate the changes of articular bone erosion, bone formation, osteoblast differentiation and BMP signal pathway by immunohistochemistry, MicroCT and bone histomorphometry in osteoblast-specific CKIP-1 conditional knockout mice with collagen-induced arthritis or K/BxN serum transfer arthritis. Further, a targeted delivery system specifically approaching osteoblast lineage cells will be used in two arthritis animal models, the changes of arthritis incidence, articular bone erosion, bone formation, and osteoblast differentiation will also be investigated. The objective of this project is to elucidate the role of CKIP-1 in failure of osteoblast-mediated repair for articular bone erosion during progressive RA, and provide a methodology reference in development of new drugs for repair the articular bone erosion in RA patients.
类风湿关节炎(RA)骨破坏缺乏有效的治疗手段,目前治疗药物只能缓解抑制骨破坏的发生而不能修复已有的骨损伤。研究证实RA患者关节局部成骨细胞功能受损,但机制不明。CKIP-1是成骨细胞内骨形成的负调控因子。我们发现,RA动物模型关节局部成骨细胞内CKIP-1表达持续升高,与骨破坏增强和骨形成降低密切相关。提示成骨细胞内CKIP-1高表达可能是RA骨破坏局部成骨细胞成骨功能受损的关键因素之一。据此,本项目选用成骨细胞特异性CKIP-1基因敲除小鼠,建立关节炎动物模型,应用免疫组化、显微CT及骨形态计量等方法分析模型动物在骨破坏、骨形成、成骨细胞分化及BMP信号通路等方面的变化;并采用成骨细胞靶向性CKIP-1核酸递送系统干预关节炎动物模型,观察治疗后动物在关节炎发病、骨破坏、骨形成等方面的变化,阐明CKIP-1在RA骨破坏局部骨修复中的作用,并为临床开发修复RA患者骨破坏的新药提供方法学参考。
