The study showed that OSM may play a significant role in inflammatory phenotypes of OA, with its expression correlating with synovitis and osteophyte formation, while its impact on cartilage damage varies depending on the model.
Pro-inflammatory cytokines are considered to play a major role in osteoarthritis (OA), yet so far, the specific cytokines involved in the pathology of OA have not been identified. Oncostatin M (OSM) is a cytokine from the interleukin 6 (IL-6) family that has been shown to be elevated in synovial fluid of most rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, but only in a limited subset of OA patients. Little is known about OSM in the different joint tissues during OA and how its expression correlates with hallmarks of disease. Here, we mapped OSM expression in the joint tissues of two rat models of arthritis: an acute inflammatory model and an instability-induced osteoarthritic model. OSM expression was correlated with hallmarks of OA, namely cartilage damage, synovitis, and osteophyte formation. Reanalysis of an existing dataset on cytokine profiling of OA synovial fluid was performed to assess pattern differences between patients positive and negative for OSM. In the inflammatory model, OSM expression correlated with synovitis and osteophyte formation but not with cartilage damage. On the contrary, in the instability model of OA, an increase in synovitis, cartilage damage, and osteophyte formation was observed without changes in OSM expression. In line with these findings, synovial fluid of OA patients with detectable OSM contained higher levels of other inflammatory cytokines, namely interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), IL-1 alpha and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), likely indicating a more inflammatory state. Taken together these data indicate OSM might play a prominent role in inflammatory phenotypes of OA.
