Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by immune cell activation and chronic inflammation in the synovium, leading to joint destruction. Nesfatin-1, an adipokine, has been found to be increased in RA synovium and associated with proinflammatory cytokines.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease marked by immune cell activation and chronic inflammation in the synovium accompanied by osteoclast activation and local joint destruction. Increased levels of the adipokine nesfatin-1 in RA synovium are associated with proinflammatory cytokines. Our analysis of datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and synovial tissue samples from RA patients revealed that these had higher levels of nesfatin-1 and osteoclast markers compared with normal synovium. These findings were the same in tissue samples from mice with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and normal healthy controls. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that nesfatin-1 increased levels of bone morphogenetic protein-5 (BMP5) expression via JAK/STAT signaling in RA synovial fibroblasts. Finally, we found that nesfatin-1 short hairpin RNA reduced BMP5 and osteoclast formation in CIA mice. These findings provide new insights into the pathogenesis of RA.
