Estrogen deficiency induces bone loss by enhancing T-cell production of TNF-α
Open accessAbstract
Physiologic osteoclast renewal results from the differentiation of bone marrow monocytes (BMMs) into osteoclasts, a process induced by the simultaneous stimulation of osteoclast precursors by macrophage colonystimulating factor (M-CSF) and a TNF-related factor known as receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL; also known as OPGL, TRANCE, or ODF) (1-3).Although upregulation of osteoclast formation is recognized as the main mechanism by which estrogen deficiency induces bone loss (4, 5), the responsible cells and cytokines are not completely understood.Bone marrow stromal cells are essential for physiologic osteoclast renewal because they represent a major source of RANKL and M-CSF and provide a physical support for nascent osteoclasts (6).However, in stimulated conditions additional bone marrow cells contribute to regulate osteoclast formation by producing soluble and membrane-bound pro-and antiosteoclastogenic cytokines.Among them are activated T cells, which stimulate osteoclast formation through increased production of RANKL, a phenomenon that contributes to inflammation-induced bone loss (7).T cells express estrogen receptors, and estrogen directly regulates T-cell function and cytokine production (8-11).Moreover, T-cell subset alterations occur in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (12, 13).Taken together, these findings suggest that T cells may contribute to enhanced osteoclast formation and induce bone loss not only during inflammation, but also in conditions of estrogen deficiency.In this study we have investigated the role of T cells in ovariectomy-induced bone loss.We report that ovariectomy-enhanced T-cell production of TNF-α, which, acting through the TNF-α receptor p55, augments M-CSF-and RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis.We also show that ovariectomy failed to induce bone loss, stimulate bone resorption, and increase osteoclast formation in T-cell deficient mice, establishing T cells as essential mediators of the bone-wasting effects of estrogen deficiency in vivo. Methods Experimental protocol.All animal procedures were approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of Barnes-Jewish Hospital.Wild-type C57BL/6 mice, C57BL/6 homozygous (nu/nu) athymic nude mice (14), and heterozygous (nu/+) euthymic control littermates were obtained from Taconic Farms Inc. (Germantown, New York, USA).C57BL/6 mice lacking either TNF-α receptor 1 (p55 -/-) or TNF-α receptor II (p75 -/-) and wild-type controls of the same genetic background were obtained from Jackson Laboratories (Bar Harbor, Maine, USA).At 5 weeks of age mice were either sham operated or ovariectomized (OVX), and either left untreated or treated with 17β estradiol (0.16 µg/d) for 4 weeks as described (15,16).In vitro osteoclast generation, cytokine neutralization, and TNF-α assay.Bone marrow cells were either cultured unfractionated or depleted of stromal cells by adherence for 12 hours.The nonadherent fraction was used as a source of T cells and BMM precursors and was found to

Estrogen inhibits osteoclast formation by reducing levels of IL-1, IL-6, IL-11, TNF-α, TNF-β, and M-CSF.
“In addition, estrogen inhibits osteoclast formation by reducing the levels of other osteoclastogenic cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, IL-11, TNF-α, TNF-β, and M-CSF [160, 161].”

T cell-produced TNF is required for ovariectomy-induced bone loss.
“We proposed that T cell-produced TNF is required for ovxinduced bone loss based on the findings that no bone loss occurred and no increased TNF production was detected in T cell-null mice or mice depleted of T cells (40,53).”

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.
