项目摘要

Estrogen deficiency caused by ovariectomy (OVX) results in a marked bone loss due to stimulated osteoclastic bone resorption. Recent studies indicated the possible involvement of bone-resorbing cytokines such as interleukin (lL) -1, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha in bone loss due to estrogen deficiency.In this study, we found that OVX selectively stimulated B-lymphopoiesis which resulted in a marked accumulation of pre-B cells in mouse bone marrow. Like estrogen deficiency, androgen deficiency also stimulated B-lymphopoiesis in mouse bone marrow prior to bone loss. To examine the possible relationship between stimulated B-lymphopoiesis and bone loss, female mice were treated with IL-7, which stimulates B-lymphopoiesis in bone marrow. The increased B-lymphopoiesis induced by IL-7 resulted in a marked bone loss by stimulating bone resorption in mice with intact ovarian function. The extent of bone loss was similar to that in OVX mice, measured by bone mineral density (BMD) and muCT analysis. A higher bone mass was detected in IL-7 receptor-knockout mice in which B-lymphopoiesis was markedly reduced. The results obtained in this stuby show that the perturbation of B-lymphopoiesis in bone marrow is closely linked to the change in bone mass. Increased B-lymphopoiesis due to sex steroid deficiency may be involved in the mechanism of stimulated bone resorption.

卵巢切除(OVX)引起的雌激素缺乏会由于刺激的破骨细胞性骨吸收而导致明显的骨丢失。最近的研究表明，骨吸收细胞因子IL-1、IL-6和肿瘤坏死因子α可能参与了雌激素缺乏所致的骨丢失。在本研究中，我们发现去卵巢选择性地刺激B淋巴细胞的生成，导致前B细胞在小鼠骨髓中显著聚集。与雌激素缺乏一样，雄激素缺乏也会在骨丢失之前刺激小鼠骨髓中的B淋巴细胞生成。为了研究刺激的B淋巴细胞生成与骨丢失之间的可能关系，对雌性小鼠进行了IL-7治疗，IL-7刺激骨髓中的B淋巴细胞生成。IL-7诱导的B淋巴细胞生成增加，通过刺激卵巢功能完整的小鼠的骨吸收，导致明显的骨丢失。通过骨密度(BMD)和MUCT分析测量，骨丢失的程度与OVX小鼠相似。在IL-7受体基因敲除的小鼠中，检测到更高的骨量，其中B淋巴细胞的生成明显减少。本研究结果表明，骨髓B淋巴细胞生成的紊乱与骨量的变化密切相关。性激素缺乏导致的B淋巴细胞生成增加可能参与了刺激骨吸收的机制。
