To test the hypothesis that obesity resulting from deletion of the leptin gene or leptin receptor gene results in increased knee osteoarthritis, systemic inflammation, and altered subchondral bone morphology. We studied leptin deficient (ob/ob) and leptin receptor deficient (db/db) female mice compared to wild-type animals to document knee osteoarthritis via histopathology. Serum pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines were measured using a multiplex bead immunoassay. Cortical and trabecular subchondral bone changes were documented by micro-computed tomography, and body composition was quantified by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Adiposity was increased by approximately 10-fold in ob/ob and db/db mice compared to controls, but it was not associated with increased incidence of knee osteoarthritis. Serum cytokine levels also were unchanged in ob/ob and db/db mice relative to controls, except for KC (murine analog of interleukin 8), which was elevated. Leptin impairment was associated with reduced subchondral bone thickness and increased relative trabecular bone volume in the tibial epiphysis. Extreme obesity due to impaired leptin signaling induced alterations in subchondral bone morphology without increased incidence of knee osteoarthritis. Systemic inflammatory cytokine levels remained largely unchanged in ob/ob and db/db mice. These findings suggest that body fat, in and of itself, may not be a risk factor for joint degeneration as adiposity in the absence of leptin signaling is insufficient to induce systemic inflammation and knee osteoarthritis in female C57BL/6J mice. The results imply a pleiotropic role for leptin in the development of osteoarthritis by regulating both the skeletal and immune systems.
