Megjegyzések:Mucification of the cumulus layer around the oocyte is an obligatory process for female fertility. Tumor necrosis factor-induced protein-6 (TNFIP6 or TSG6) has been shown to be specifically expressed during this process. We have generated TNFIP6-deficient mice and tested the ability of their cumulus cells to undergo mucification. Cumulus cell-oocyte complexes fail to expand in TNFIP6-deficient female mice because of the inability of the cumulus cells to assemble their hyaluronan-rich extracellular matrix. The impaired cumulus matrix formation is due to the lack of covalent complexes between hyaluronan and the heavy chains of the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor family. As a consequence, TNFIP6-deficient females are sterile. Cultured TNFIP6-deficient cumulus cell-oocyte complexes also fail to expand when stimulated with dibutyryl cyclic AMP or epidermal growth factor. Recombinant TNFIP6 is able to catalyze the covalent transfer of heavy chains to hyaluronan in a cell-free system, restore the expansion of Tnfip6-null cumulus cell-oocyte complexes in vitro, and rescue the fertility in Tnfip6-null females. These results provide clear evidence that TNFIP6 is a key catalyst in the formation of the cumulus extracellular matrix and indispensable for female fertility.

Cím:Cartilage-specific constitutive expression of TSG-6 protein (product of tumor necrosis factor alpha-stimulated gene 6) provides a chondroprotective, but not antiinflammatory, effect in antigen-induced arthritis / Glant, T.

Megjegyzések:To study the chondroprotective effect of constitutively expressed TSG-6 protein (tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 6; Tnfip6) in cartilage, using antigen-induced arthritis (AIA) in mice. METHODS: Transgenic mice constitutively expressing TSG-6 protein in cartilage were generated. Cartilage-specific constitutive expression of TSG-6 protein was confirmed by in situ hybridization, Western blot analysis, and immunohistochemistry. Control and transgenic mice were immunized with methylated bovine serum albumin (mBSA), and arthritis was induced by the intraarticular injection of mBSA. Mice were monitored up to day 35 after the challenge, and knee joint sections were examined for loss of cartilage proteoglycan (aggrecan) using Safranin O staining and antibodies to neoepitopes generated by various metalloproteinases (MPs). The loss of aggrecan in Safranin O-stained sections was quantified by morphometric methods. RESULTS: Tsg6/tnfip6 transgenic mice constitutively expressed tsg6/tnfip6 messenger RNA and corresponding TSG-6 protein in cartilage from embryonic life through adulthood, without any phenotypic abnormalities. These mice were used for AIA studies. Intraarticular injection of mBSA uniformly induced severe inflammation both in control (wild-type and an irrelevant transgenic line) mice and in tsg6/tnfip6 transgenic mice. In contrast to the mBSA-injected knee joints of control animals that were heavily damaged from day 5, the cartilage of transgenic mice that constitutively expressed TSG-6 protein remained intact for at least 1 week, and this was followed by a relatively reduced loss of aggrecan. Concomitant with the loss of aggrecan, MP-generated neoepitopes accumulated in unprotected joints. By day 35, the proteoglycan content returned to nearly normal levels in tsg6/tnfip6 transgenic mice, whereas it remained low in MP-damaged knee cartilage of control mice. CONCLUSION: TSG-6 protein is known to form a complex with inter-alpha-inhibitor (IalphaI), a potent serine protease inhibitor, which may be immobilized via the hyaluronan (HA)-binding domain of TSG-6 protein in the HA-rich extracellular matrix of cartilage. Thus, the local accumulation of TSG-6 protein and TSG-6 protein-bound IalphaI in tsg6/tnfip6 transgenic mice may inhibit serine proteases and subsequent activation of MPs. It is suggested that this mechanism might protect cartilage from extensive degradation even in the presence of acute inflammation.

Cím:Spontaneous insertion of a B2 element in the ptpn6 gene drives a systemic autoinflammatory disease in mice resembling neutrophilic dermatosis in humans / Andrew B.

Megjegyzések:We found a spontaneous autosomal mutation in a mouse leading to neutrophil infiltration with ulceration in the upper dermis of homozygous offspring. These animals had increased neutrophil numbers, associated with normal lymphocyte count, in peripheral blood and bone marrow, suggesting a myeloproliferative disorder; however, granulocyte precursor proliferation in bone marrow was actually reduced (because circulating neutrophils were less susceptible to apoptosis). Neutrophil infiltration of the skin and other organs and high serum levels of immunoglobulins and autoantibodies, cytokines, and acute-phase proteins were additional abnormalities, all of which could be reduced by high-dose corticosteroid treatment or neutrophil depletion by antibodies. Use of genome-wide screening localized the mutation within an 0.4-Mbp region on mouse chromosome 6. We identified insertion of a B2 element in exon 6 of the Ptpn6 gene (protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 6; also known as Shp-1). This insertion involves amino acid substitutions that significantly reduced the enzyme activity in mice homozygous for the mutation. Disease onset was delayed, and the clinical phenotype was milder than the phenotypes of other Ptpn6-mutants described in motheaten (me, mev) mice; we designated this new genotype as Ptpn6(meB2/meB2) and the phenotype as meB2. This new phenotype encompasses an autoinflammatory disease showing similarities to many aspects of the so-called neutrophilic dermatoses, a heterogeneous group of skin diseases with unknown etiology in humans.

Cím:Enhanced neutrophil extravasation and rapid progression of proteoglycan-induced arthritis in TSG-6-knockout mice / Sándor Szántó, Tamás Bárdos, István Gál, Tibor T. Glant, Katalin Mikecz
Dátum:2004

Megjegyzések:OBJECTIVE: To gain insight into the mechanisms of the antiinflammatory effect of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)-induced protein 6 (Tnfip6) in arthritis, using Tnfip6-deficient animals. METHODS: TNFalpha-stimulated gene 6 (TSG-6) coding for Tnfip6 was disrupted. Tnfip6-deficient mice were backcrossed into proteoglycan-induced arthritis (PGIA)-susceptible BALB/c mice, and arthritis was induced by systemic immunization with cartilage proteoglycan (PG). Thioglycollate-induced sterile peritonitis was also assessed, to monitor the early events of neutrophil extravasation in wild-type and Tnfip6-deficient mice in the presence or absence of treatment with recombinant murine Tnfip6. RESULTS: The onset of PGIA was similar, but progression and severity were significantly greater, in Tnfip6-deficient mice compared with wild-type BALB/c mice. However, this was not associated with enhanced T or B cell responses to cartilage PGs, but rather, an early and more extensive infiltration of the synovium with neutrophil leukocytes was the most prominent histopathologic feature of PGIA in Tnfip6-deficient mice. This was accompanied by elevated serum levels of interleukin-6 and amyloid A, and significantly increased activities of the enzymes plasmin, myeloperoxidase, and neutrophil elastase in the inflamed paw joints of Tnfip6-null mice, when compared with that of the wild-type littermates. Loss of control over several components of inflammation resulted in extensive and rapid cartilage degradation, bone erosion, joint ankylosis, and deformities in Tnfip6-null animals. In support of the antiinflammatory effect of Tnfip6 via the inhibition of polymorphonuclear (PMN) cell efflux, neutrophil invasion during thioglycollate-induced peritonitis was 2-fold higher in Tnfip6-deficient animals than in wild-type animals, but was dramatically suppressed by intravenous injection of recombinant murine Tnfip6. CONCLUSION: Tnfip6 is a multifunctional antiinflammatory protein that is produced at the site of inflammation and can be retained by the hyaluronan-rich extracellular matrix. A major effect of Tnfip6 is the inhibition of the extravasation of PMN cells, predominantly neutrophils, into the site of inflammation, most likely via a CD44/hyaluronan/Tnfip6-mediated blocking mechanism.

Cím:Induction of arthritis in HLA-DR4-humanized and HLA-DQ8-humanized mice by human cartilage proteoglycan aggrecan but only in the presence of an appropriate (non-MHC) genetic background / Sándor Szántó, Tamás Bárdos, Zoltán Szabó, Chella S. David, Edit I. Buzás, Katalin Mikecz, Tibor T. Glant
Dátum:2004
ISSN:0004-3591
Megjegyzések:OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-predisposing class II molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) can present cartilage proteoglycan (PG) aggrecan, and if so, to determine the epitope repertoire of the human cartilage PG in HLA-transgenic mice and determine whether HLA-transgenic mice develop arthritis in response to immunization with human cartilage PG. METHODS: Mice transgenic for HLA-DR2.Ab(0), DR3.Ab(0), DR4.Ab(0), and DQ8.Ab(0), lacking their own (mouse) class II antigens (Ab(0)), on the original (arthritis-resistant) and the arthritis-susceptible BALB/c backgrounds, were immunized with human cartilage PG. The T cell epitope repertoire presented by these class II MHC alleles was determined using a synthetic peptide library (143 peptides of the core protein of human cartilage PG), and arthritis development was monitored and compared in wild-type and HLA-transgenic/congenic BALB/c mice. RESULTS: Mice of the 4 HLA-transgenic lines, either on the original mixed, arthritis-resistant background or DR4.Ab(0)- and DQ8.Ab(0)-transgenic/congenic mice on the arthritis-susceptible BALB/c genetic background, responded well to PG immunization (as assessed by T cell responses and antibody and cytokine production), and a number of T cell epitopes along the core protein of human cartilage PG were identified. DR4.Ab(0)- and DQ8.Ab(0)-transgenic mice immunized with human cartilage PG developed arthritis, but only when these class II MHC molecules were present on the arthritis-susceptible (BALB/c) genetic background. CONCLUSION: A number of human cartilage PG epitopes can be presented by HLA alleles that predispose to the development of RA, but the epitopes of the cartilage PG presented by HLA-DR4 or HLA-DQ8 can induce arthritis only in the presence of an appropriate genetic (non-MHC) background.
