Abstract
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic and systemic inflammatory disease characterized by upregulation of inflammatory cell death and osteoclastogenesis. Necrostatin (NST)-1s is a chemical inhibitor of receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase (RIPK)1, which plays a role in necroptosis. Methods: We investigated whether NST-1s decreases inflammatory cell death and inflammatory responses in a mouse model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). Results: NST-1s decreased the progression of CIA and the synovial expression of proinflammatory cytokines. Moreover, NST-1s treatment decreased the expression of necroptosis mediators such as RIPK1, RIPK3, and mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL). In addition, NST-1s decreased osteoclastogenesis in vitro and in vivo. NST-1s downregulated T helper (Th)1 and Th17 cell expression, but promoted Th2 and regulatory T (Treg) cell expression in CIA mice. Conclusions: These results suggest that NST-1s attenuates CIA progression via the inhibition of osteoclastogenesis and might be a potential therapeutic agent for RA therapy.
