    Abstract:
    Interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays key roles in altering bone matrix turnover. This turnover is regulated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs), and the plasminogen activation system, including tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) , and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1). In this study, we examined the effect of IL-1alpha on the expression of the MMPs, TIMPs, tPA, uPA, and PAI-1 genes in osteoblasts derived from the rat osteosarcoma cell line ROS 17/2.8. The cells were cultured in alpha-minimum essential medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum with 0 or 100 U/ml of IL-1alpha for up to 14 days. The levels of MMPs, TIMPs, uPA, tPA, and PAI-1 expression were estimated by determining the mRNA levels using real-time RT-PCR and by determining protein levels using ELISA. In IL-1alpha cultures, the expression levels of MMP-1, -2, -3, -13, and -14 exceeded that of the control through day 14 of culture, and the expression of MMPs increased markedly from the proliferative to the later stages of culture. The TIMP-1, -2, and -3 expression levels increased from the initial to the proliferative stages of culture. The expression of tPA increased greatly during the proliferative stage of culture, and uPA expression increased throughout the culture period, increasing markedly from the proliferative to the later stages of culture. In contrast, PAI-1 expression decreased in the presence of IL-1alpha through day 14. These results suggest that IL-1alpha stimulate bone matrix turnover by increasing MMPs, tPA, and uPA production and decreasing PAI-1 production by osteoblasts, and incline the turnover to the resolution.
