免疫细胞及相关细胞因子在骨关节炎发病及治疗中的作用

Effects of immune cells and related cytokines in the pathogenesis and treatment of osteoarthritis

背景:骨关节炎的发生发展与免疫异常密切相关,各种免疫细胞、免疫介质在骨关节炎发病过程中的重要性不断被阐明。目的:综述免疫细胞及相关细胞因子在骨关节炎发病及治疗中的作用,为今后骨关节炎的研究和防治提供新的思路。方法:以“骨关节炎,膝,巨噬细胞,T细胞,B细胞,自然杀伤细胞,树突状细胞,细胞因子,炎症因子,免疫细胞”“osteoarthritis,knee,macrophages,T cells,B cells,natural killer cells,dendritic cells,cytokines, inflammatory factors,immune cells”为检索词在中国知网、万方、维普和PubMed和Web of Science数据库中检索已发表的相关文献,阅读标题和摘要进行初筛,在阅读全文后,最后选取98篇文献进行综述。结果与结论:(1)既往研究认为骨关节炎发病与软骨磨损相关,近年来研究认为骨关节炎是免疫细胞广泛参与的一种慢性炎性状态,随着对骨关节炎发病机制的深入研究,学者们认为骨关节炎的发病机制是由早期先天免疫反应驱动的,这种免疫反应会逐步催化退行性变,最终导致关节微环境的改变。(2)各种免疫细胞和细胞因子是影响骨关节炎修复的关键因素,其中巨噬细胞、自然杀伤细胞参与滑膜炎症反应,T细胞免疫反应参与骨关节炎软骨的降解,并加重骨关节炎的病情。(3)免疫细胞分泌的白细胞介素1β、白细胞介素6、肿瘤坏死因子α、白细胞介素17和白细胞介素37等炎性细胞因子在骨关节炎的病理生理中发挥重要作用,其中白细胞介素1β是造成关节软骨破坏最重要的炎性因子。(4)在骨关节炎病早期阶段对免疫学危险因素进行评估,能够早期有效地进行治疗,可显著降低与骨关节炎相关的残疾、发病率和成本。(5)目前干细胞及其来源外泌体、生物材料进行免疫调节治疗骨关节炎的效果已在不同的实验模型中得到证实,但将其用于临床实践之前仍有大量的实验工作要做,随着新治疗靶点的发现,针对靶点进行相关治疗将为临床骨关节炎修复带来新的希望。

BACKGROUND:The occurrence and development of osteoarthritis is strongly associated with immune abnormalities,and the importance of various immune cells and immune mediators in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis has been continuously elucidated.OBJECTIVE:To review the role of immune cells and related cytokines in osteoarthritis disease,and provide new ideas for future research and prevention of osteoarthritis.METHODS:Taking“osteoarthritis,knee,macrophages,T cells,B cells,natural killer cells,dendritic cells,cytokines,inflammatory factors,immune cells”as search terms,relevant published literature was searched on CNKI,WanFang,VIP,PubMed and Web of Science databases.After reading the title and abstract for preliminary screening,98 articles were selected for review after reading the full text again.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the past,it was believed that the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis was associated with cartilage wear.In recent years,studies have suggested that osteoarthritis is a chronic inflammatory state in which immune cells are widely involved.With the in-depth study of the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis,scholars believe that the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis is driven by early innate immune response,which will gradually catalyze degenerative changes and eventually lead to changes in the joint microenvironment.Various immune cells and cytokines are the key factors affecting the repair of osteoarthritis.Macrophages and natural killer cells participate in synovial inflammatory reaction,and T cell immune reaction participates in the degradation of osteoarthritis cartilage and aggravates the condition of osteoarthritis.Interleukin-1βsecreted by immune cells,interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factorα,interleukin-17 and interleukin-37 play an important role in the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis,among which interleukin-1βis the most important inflammatory factor causing articular cartilage damage.Assessing immunological risk factors at the early stage of osteoarthritis can effectively treat the disease at an early stage,which can significantly reduce disability,morbidity and costs associated with osteoarthritis.At present,the immunomodulatory effect of stem cells and their derived secretions and biomaterials on the treatment of osteoarthritis has been confirmed in different experimental models,but there is still a lot of research to be done before they are used in clinical practice.With the discovery of new therapeutic targets,targeted treatment will bring new hope for the repair of clinical osteoarthritis.
