Abstrakt: Objectives: It is well-known that long-term osteoarthritis prognosis is not improved by corticosteroid treatments. Here we investigate what could underlie this phenomenon by measuring the short term corticosteroid response of OA-Mf.
Methods: We determined the genome-wide transcriptomic response to corticosteroids of end-stage osteoarthritic joint synovial macrophages (OA-Mf). This was compared with LPS-tolerized and β-glucan-trained circulating blood monocyte-derived macrophage models.
Results: Upon corticosteroid stimulation, the trained and tolerized macrophages significantly alter the abundance of 201 and 257 RNA transcripts, respectively. By contrast, by the same criteria, OA-Mf have a very restricted corticosteroid response of only 12 RNA transcripts. Furthermore, while metalloproteinases 1, -2, -3 and -10 expression clearly distinguish OA-Mf from both the tolerized and trained macrophage models, OA-Mf Interleukin 1 (IL1), chemokine (CXCL) and cytokine (CCL) family member profiles resemble the tolerized macrophage model, with the exception that OA-Mf show high levels of CCL20.
Conclusion: Terminal osteoarthritis joints therefore harbor macrophages with an inflammatory state that closely resembles the tolerized macrophage state and this is compounded by a weak corticosteroid response capacity that may explain the lack of positive long-term effects of corticosteroid treatment for osteoarthritis patients.
