The objective of this study wits to investigate the function of inflammatory bone marrow infiltrates found in vicinity to joints affected by inflammatory arthritis. These bone marrow infiltrates are rich in B cells and emerge at the interphase between bone marrow and synovial inflammatory tissue. where cortical bone has been broken. We deleted an essential molecule of B-cell development. Brutons tyrosine kinase (Btk), in arthritic TNF-transgenic mice and studied its effect on bone marrow Inflammation. Although antigen responses, immunoglobulin levels. and autoantibody production were diminished in Btk(-/-)hTNFtg mice. synovial Inflammation developed normally. However, hone marrow infiltrates were significantly diminished ill Btk(-/-)hTNFtg mice, which lead to impaired bone formation at endosteal sites underneath hone erosions and an increased invasion of synovial inflammatory cells into the hone marrow. Expression of bone morphogenic protein-7 was dramatically decreased in Btk(-/-)hTNFtg mice. These results do not only indicate that hone formation at endosteal regions next to bone marrow Infiltrates is driven by B cells but also show that bone marrow aggregates In the vicinity of inflamed joint appear its all attempt to counter the invasion of inflammatory tissue into the bone marrow.
