Abstract

We measured the effects of ovariectomy on the bone mass of mice that lacked type I interleukin-1 receptor (IL-I R1 -/- mice) in two genetic backgrounds (C57BL/6 x 129/Sv and C57BL/6) to investigate the role of interleukin-1 in the actions of estrogen on bone. At three weeks after surgery, ovariectomized wild-type mice decreased trabecular bone volume in the proximal humerus by 70% in a C57BL/6 x 129/Sv background and 48% in a C57BL/6 background compared to sham-operated controls. In contrast, there was no significant decrease in trabecular bone mass in IL-1 R1 -/- mice after ovariectomy. The estrogen status of all groups was confirmed by measurement of uterine wet weight. These results demonstrate that a functional IL-1 response pathway is required for mice to lose trabecular bone mass after ovariectomy in this model and they imply that IL-1 is an important mediator of the effects of ovariectomy on bone mass. Hence, therapeutic interventions that block the effects of IL-1 on bone may be beneficial for treating diseases of rapid bone loss such as post-menopausal osteoporosis.

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 rodents, blocking IL-1 or TNF-α prevents ovariectomy bone loss, and mice lacking IL-1 receptor or TNF-α do not lose bone after ovariectomy.

    “Bone loss after ovariectomy in rodent models can be prevented by inhibiting IL-1 or TNF-α and does not occur in mice deficient in the IL-1 receptor or TNF-α”

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.
