Abstract:
:Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is the major prototypic proinflammatory cytokine that stimulates degradation of cartilage in arthritis by inducing prominent collagen II-degrading matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13). Nothing is known about the involvement of adaptor proteins, MyD88, IRAK1 and TRAF6 in MMP-13 regulation. Here we investigated for the first time the role of these proteins in IL-1-regulated MMP-13 expression in chondrocytes. MyD88 homodimerization inhibitory peptide diminished the expression of MMP-13 gene, promoter activity, phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), c-Jun and activating protein 1 (AP-1) activity. Knockdown of MyD88, IRAK1 and TRAF6 by RNA interference (RNAi) drastically down-regulated the expression of IL-1-induced MMP-13 mRNA and protein levels and MMP-13 promoter-driven luciferase activity. Non-specific control siRNA had no effect. Mechanisms of MMP-13 inhibition involved reduced phosphorylation of ERK, p38, JNK and c-Jun as well as AP-1 transcription factor binding activity. The genetic evidence presented here demonstrates that MyD88, IRAK1 and TRAF6 proteins are crucial early mediators for the IL-1-induced MMP-13 regulation through MAPK pathways and AP-1 activity. These proteins could constitute important therapeutic targets for arthritis-associated cartilage loss by MMP-13.
