Osteoimmunology: cytokines and the skeletal system.
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has become clear that complex interactions underlie the relationship between the skeletal and immune systems. This is particularly true for the development of immune cells in the bone marrow as well as the functions of bone cells in skeletal homeostasis and pathologies. Because these two disciplines developed independently, investigators with an interest in either often do not fully appreciate the influence of the other system on the functions of the tissue that they are studying. With these issues in mind, this review will focus on several key areas that are mediated by crosstalk between the bone and immune systems. A more complete appreciation of the interactions between immune and bone cells should lead to better therapeutic strategies for diseases that affect either or both systems.

Interaction between the immune system and bone metabolism: an emerging field of osteoimmunology
The interaction between the immune and bone systems has long been appreciated, but recent research into arthritis as well as various bone phenotypes found in immune-related knockout mice has highlighted the importance of the interplay and the interdisciplinary field called osteoimmunology. In rheumatoid arthritis, IL-17-producing helper T cells (TH17) induces receptor activator of NF-κB ligand ...
متن کاملCytokine-Mediated Bone Destruction in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Bone homeostasis, which involves formation and resorption, is an important process for maintaining adequate bone mass in humans. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation and bone loss, leading to joint destruction and deformity, and is a representative disease of disrupted bone homeostasis. The bone loss and joint destruction are mediated by immunological...
متن کاملOsteoimmunology: A Brief Introduction
Recent investigations have demonstrated extensive reciprocal interactions between the immune and skeletal systems, resulting in the establishment of osteoimmunology as a cross-disciplinary field. Here we highlight core concepts and recent advances in this emerging area of study.
متن کاملOsteoimmunology and the influence of pro-inflammatory cytokines on osteoclasts
Bone and immune system are functionally interconnected. Immune and bone cells derive from same progenitors in the bone marrow, they share a common microenvironment and are being influenced by similar mediators. The evidence on increased bone resorption associated with inappropriate activation of T cells such as during inflammation, is well established. However, the molecular mechanisms beyond t...
متن کاملOsteoimmunology at the nexus of arthritis, osteoporosis, cancer, and infection.
Over the past decade and a half, the biomedical community has uncovered a previously unappreciated reciprocal relationship between cells of the immune and skeletal systems. Work in this field, which has been termed "osteoimmunology," has resulted in the development of clinical therapeutics for seemingly disparate diseases linked by the common themes of inflammation and bone remodeling. Here, th...

In 2000, Joseph Lorenzo, Yongwon Choi, Mark Horowitz and Hiroshi Takayanagi proposed a new multidisciplinary field of scientific knowledge, which they called osteoimmunology, the content of which would revolve around the idea that the immune and skeletal systems interact, and thus are involved in the pathophysiology of bone diseases.1 The first of a long list of experiments that supported this ...
