OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of interleukin-17A (IL-17A) on osteoclastogenesis in vitro. METHODS: Bone marrow cells (BMCs) were isolated from the excised tibia and femora of wild-type C57BL/6J mice, and osteoblasts were obtained by sequential digestion of the calvariae of ddY, C57BL/6J, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor-knockout (GM-CSF(-/-)) mice. Monocultures of BMCs or cocultures of BMCs and osteoblasts were supplemented with or without 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3)(1,25[OH](2)D(3)), recombinant human macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), RANKL, and IL-17A. After 5-6 days, the cultures were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and subsequently stained for the osteoclast marker enzyme tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). Osteoprotegerin (OPG) and GM-CSF expression were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and transcripts for RANK and RANKL were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: In both culture systems, IL-17A alone did not affect the development of osteoclasts. However, the addition of IL-17A plus 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) to cocultures inhibited early osteoclast development within the first 3 days of culture and induced release of GM-CSF into the culture supernatants. Furthermore, in cocultures of GM-CSF(-/-) mouse osteoblasts and wild-type mouse BMCs, IL-17A did not affect osteoclast development, corroborating the role of GM-CSF as the mediator of the observed inhibition of osteoclastogenesis by IL-17A. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that IL-17A interferes with the differentiation of osteoclast precursors by inducing the release of GM-CSF from osteoblasts.
