In unstimulated conditions osteoclast renewal occurs as a result of
the stromal cell production of the key osteoclastogenic factors,
receptor activator of NFkB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). Inflammation is known to cause increased osteoclastogenesis; however, the mechanisms responsible for
this phenomenon are poorly understood. We now show that
interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF ),
cytokines typically produced in inflammatory conditions, increase the
stromal cell production of IL-7. This factor, in turn, up-regulates
production of osteoclastogenic cytokines by T cells leading to
stimulation of osteoclast (OC) formation. Although T cells were
found to produce soluble forms of both RANKL and M-CSF,
saturating concentrations of osteoprotegerin failed to inhibit
approximately 40% of the OC formation, suggesting that IL-7 acts via
both RANKL-dependent and RANKL-independent pathways. Despite the
identification of T-cell-secreted M-CSF, this cytokine was not
essential for either RANKL-dependent or -independent OC formation,
suggesting that T cells secrete other cytokines capable of substituting
for M-CSF action. On the basis of our data, we propose a novel
mechanism for inflammatory bone loss in which induction of IL-7 from
stromal cells by IL-1 and TNF leads to the production of soluble
osteoclastogenic cytokines by T cells. Thus, the mechanism by which
IL-7 causes bone resorption involves the activation of T cells
and the T-cell-dependent augmentation of osteoclastogenesis.
