Abstract

Objective: To demonstrate the effects of disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs and antiinflammatory cytokines on human osteoclastogenesis through their effects on receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and RANK ligand (RANKL). Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLS) were cocultured in the presence of macrophage colony‐stimulating factor, 1,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D 3, and various concentrations of methotrexate (MTX), sulfasalazine (SSZ), hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), anti–tumor necrosis factor α monoclonal antibody (infliximab), interleukin‐4 (IL‐4), and IL‐10. Osteoclast formation was assayed by counting cells after staining for tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase. RANKL expression in RA FLS and RANK expression in PBMCs were assayed by Western blotting, reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR), and real‐time PCR. OPG expression was measured by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, RT‐PCR, and real‐time PCR in cultures of RA FLS. Results: MTX, SSZ, infliximab, and IL‐4, but not IL‐10 and HCQ, each inhibited osteoclast formation in a dose‐dependent manner. We observed no evidence of synergistic inhibition of osteoclast formation by IL‐4 and IL‐10. High doses of infliximab suppressed the expression of RANK in PBMCs. MTX, SSZ, infliximab, and IL‐4 each inhibited the expression of RANKL in RA FLS in a dose‐dependent manner, and also increased the secretion of OPG in RA FLS supernatants. Conclusion: MTX, SSZ, infliximab, and IL‐4 inhibit human osteoclastogenesis by modulating the interaction of RANKL, RANK, and OPG. These results are indicative of the underlying mechanisms of the antiresorptive effects of these 4 agents.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In vitro, infliximab decreases RANK expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells; infliximab, methotrexate, sulfasalazine, or hydroxychloroquine inhibit RANKL expression and increase OPG secretion in cultured synovial cells.

    “This agrees with in vitro cell culture studies showing a decrease in RANK expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells treated with infliximab and inhibition of RANKL expression and increase in OPG secretion in cultured synovial cells treated with infliximab, methotrexate, sulfasalazine, or hydroxychloroquine (429).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
