Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11), a key member of the TGF- superfamily, plays critical roles in various medical conditions. Recently, GDF11 was found to suppress the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-B) signaling pathway and protect against inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the role of GDF11 in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We demonstrated that GDF11 treatment antagonized TNF--induced inflammation in macrophages. Moreover, GDF11 inhibited the development of arthritis in the collagen-induced arthritis and collagen antibody-induced arthritis models. Local gene transfer of GDF11 via adeno-associated virus exerted therapeutic effects, while local knockdown of GDF11 exaggerated inflammation in our collagen-induced arthritis model, as detected by expression levels of inflammatory biomarkers and the destruction of joint structures. Additionally, the results from both in vitro experiments and luciferase reporter gene mouse experiments implied that the NF-B pathway might play a critical role in the therapeutic effect of GDF11 in RA. This study presents GDF11 as a potential target for the treatment of inflammatory arthritis, including RA.Li, W., Wang, W., Liu, L., Qu, R., Chen, X., Qiu, C., Li, J., Hayball, J., Liu, L., Chen, J., Wang, X., Pan, X., Zhao, Y.
