Popis: Staphylococcus aureusandSalmonellaspp. are common causes of bone diseases; however, the immune response during such infections is not well understood. Colony-stimulating factors (CSF) have a profound influence on osteoclastogenesis, as well as the development of immune responses following infection. Therefore, we questioned whether interaction of osteoblasts with two very different bacterial pathogens could affect CSF expression by these cells. Cultured mouse and human osteoblasts were exposed to various numbers ofS. aureusorSalmonella dublinbacteria, and a comprehensive analysis of granulocyte-macrophage (GM)-CSF, granulocyte (G)-CSF, macrophage (M)-CSF, and interleukin-3 (IL-3) mRNA expression and cytokine secretion was performed. Expression of M-CSF and IL-3 mRNAs by mouse osteoblasts was constitutive and did not increase significantly following bacterial exposure. In contrast, GM-CSF and G-CSF mRNA expression by mouse osteoblasts was dramatically upregulated following interaction with either viableS. aureusorSalmonella. This increased mRNA expression also translated into high levels of GM-CSF and G-CSF secretion by mouse and human osteoblasts following bacterial exposure. ViableS. aureusandSalmonellainduced maximal levels of CSF mRNA expression and cytokine secretion compared to UV-killed bacteria. Furthermore, GM-CSF and G-CSF mRNA expression could be induced in unexposed osteoblasts separated by a permeable Transwell membrane from bacterially exposed osteoblasts. M-CSF secretion was increased in cultures of exposed human osteoblasts but not in exposed mouse osteoblast cultures. Together, these studies are the first to define CSF expression and suggest that, following bacterial exposure, osteoblasts may influence osteoclastogenesis, as well as the development of an immune response, via the production of these cytokines.
