Session Information

Title: Biology and Pathology of Bone and Joint (Bone and Arthritis)

Session Type: Abstract Submissions (ACR)

Background/Purpose: Communication between OC and OB is critical for maintenance of bone homeostasis; both OC and OB release regulatory messengers. Among these signaling molecules are semaphorin 3A and 4D (sema3A and sema4D). During inflammatory osteolysis bone destruction is regulated by RANKL, M-CSF, TNF, among others. A2AR ligation diminishes osteolysis and expression of RANKL, M-CSF and TNF. We therefore asked whether A2AR activation modulates OB-OC crosstalk by regulating sema3A and sema4D or their receptors PlexinA1/Neuropilin1 and PlexinB1, respectively, in a model of inflammatory osteolysis.

Methods: 1cm midline sagittal incisions were made over calvaria in 6-8 wk old C57Bl/6 mice. Calvaria were exposed to 20µl of PBS containing 3mg of UHMWPE followed by daily injections of either vehicle or CGS21680 (A2AR agonist) 1µM (n=4 each) for 14 days. XenoLight Rediject Bone Probe was injected IV and fluorescence of calvaria measured (IVIS) to assay bone formation. Sema3A/PlexinA1/Neuropilin1 and Sema4D/PlexinB1 expression were studied by RT-PCR and Western Blot in primary bone marrow-derived OC and OB in the presence/absence of CGS21680 and ZM241385 (A2AR antagonist) 1µM each.

Results: XenoLight imaging revealed a 52.5±6% reduction in bone formation after exposure to UHMWPE (p<0.001, n=5) and CGS21680 completely reversed this effect (11±5% increased compare to control, p=NS, n=5). In UHMWPE-exposed calvaria there was a decreased number of cells expressing Sema3A and PlexinA1 but not Neuropilin1, effects largely reversed by CGS21680. In contrast, Sema4D/PlexinB1 expressing cells, primarily macrophages and OC, were increased in UHMWPE-exposed calvaria and CGS21680 reversed these changes as well. In marrow cell cultures RANKL induced a 2.5±0.1 fold increase in Sema4D mRNA (p<0.001,n=4) which was blocked by CGS21680 (p<0.001,n=4). In contrast, PlexinA1 mRNA was enhanced by CGS21680 (9.3±0.7 fold increase vs 4.9±0.6 for RANKL, p<0.001,n=4) but Neuropilin1 mRNA was unchanged. Sema3A mRNA increased 3.5±0.5 fold during OB differentiation and CGS21680 enhanced this to 8.7±0.2 fold, p<0.001,n=3); PlexinB1 mRNA was increased 2 fold during OB differentiation and was not altered by CGS21680 exposure. Similar changes were observed in protein expression and secretion.

 Conclusion: UHMWPE-induced inflammatory osteolysis involves both bone destruction and reduction of new bone formation. A2AR stimulation diminishes secretion of inflammatory mediators and also regulates expression of AGP that likely contribute to inflammatory osteolysis and reduction in bone production.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
