Abstract

Severe or prolonged inflammatory response caused by infection or biomaterials leads to delayed healing or bone repair failure. This study investigated the important roles of the proinflammatory cytokines of the interleukin-12 (IL-12) family, namely, IL-12 and IL-23, in the inflammation-mediated inhibition of bone formation in vivo. IL-12p40 mice lacking IL-12 and IL-23 exhibited enhanced bone formation. IL-12 and IL-23 indirectly inhibited bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMMSC) differentiation by stimulating CD4 T cells to increase interferon γ (IFN-γ) and IL-17 levels. Mechanistically, IL-17 synergistically enhanced IFN-γ-induced BMMSC apoptosis. Moreover, INF-γ and IL-17 exerted proapoptotic effects by upregulating the expression levels of Fas and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), as well as by activating the caspase cascade in BMMSCs. IL-12p40 depletion in mice could promote ectopic bone formation. Thus, IL-12p40 is an attractive therapeutic target to overcome the inflammation-mediated inhibition of bone formation in vivo.
