Cytokines released at sites of inflammation and infection can alter the normal processes of cartilage turnover, resulting in pathologic destruction or formation. Interleukin (IL)-1 beta plays a central role in the pathophysiology of cartilage damage and degradation in arthritis. In the present study, we examined the effect of IL-1 beta on the expression of IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-11, tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-alpha), and their receptors in human chondrocytes. The cells were cultured either with or without 100 U/ml of IL-1 beta for up to 28 days. The level of expression of the cytokines and their receptors was estimated by determining mRNA levels using real-time PCR or by determining protein levels using ELISA. The expression of IL-1 beta, IL-8, and TNF-alpha markedly increased in the presence of IL-1 beta after day 14 of culture. The expression of IL-6 and IL-11 increased greatly in the presence of IL-1 beta on day I and after day 14 of culture. The expression of IL-1 beta, IL-8, IL-11, and TNF-alpha receptors significantly decreased in the presence of IL-10 after day 14 of culture, whereas the expression of IL-6 receptor significantly increased. The expression of these cytokines, except for IL-6, decreased with the addition of human IL-1 receptor antagonist. These results suggest that IL-1 beta promotes the resolution system of cartilage matrix turnover through an increase in inflammatory cytokine production by chondrocytes and that it also may promote the autocrine action of IL-6 through an increase in IL-6 receptor expression in the cells.
