ObjectivesTo investigate whether CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β (C/EBPβ) mediates the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) and aggrecanases in arthritis.MethodsLocalisation of C/EBPβ and MMP-3 in synovium and cartilage from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis was determined by immunohistochemistry. Cell lines SW982, C28/I2 and human fibroblast-like synoviocytes stimulated by interleukin 1β (IL-1β) were subjected to western blotting and quantitative PCR. Overexpression of C/EBPβ by adenovirus was performed in cells and organ culture of normal cartilage. Knockdown of C/EBPβ by small interference RNA was performed in cells. Activity of the human MMP-3 and aggrecanase-2 ADAMTS-5 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) promoters was analysed by a luciferase assay. To determine whether C/EBPβ directly binds to the MMP-3 or ADAMTS-5 promoter,a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay was performed.ResultsImmunohistochemistry showed that C/EBPβ and MMP-3 were co-localised in arthritic synovium and cartilage. Western blots revealed increased C/EBPβ expression in cells treated with IL-1β. Expression of MMP-3, MMP-13 and ADAMTS-5 mRNA was significantly increased by the overexpression of C/EBPβ. C/EBPβ stimulated MMP-3 expression and induced matrix degradation in cartilage explants. C/EBPβ knockdown reduced MMP-3 and ADAMTS-5 expression. C/EBPβ stimulated the 2011 bp MMP-3 promoter and the 1768 bp ADAMTS-5 promoter in a dose-dependent manner. Deletion and mutation analysis of the MMP-3 promoter showed that the C/EBPβ core responsive element was located between −108 bp and −100 bp. The chromatin immunoprecipitation assay showed that C/EBPβ was directly bound to MMP-3 and ADAMTS-5 promoters.ConclusionsThese data demonstrate that C/EBPβ is involved in expression of MMP-3 and ADAMTS-5 in arthritic synovium and cartilage.

Abstract Targeted mutation of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) ɛ in mice results in early death, primarily due to spontaneous infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Functional analysis of C/EBPɛ-deficient neutrophils, in an in vivo model of peritoneal inflammation, shows multiple defects. Reduction of phagocytotic killing by C/EBPɛ-deficient neutrophils is a result of decreased uptake of opsonized bacteria as well as little to no expression of secondary granule proteins. Abnormalities in neutrophil migration detected in a chemical peritonitis model are likely secondary to abnormal CD11b integrin and L-selectin expression on C/EBPɛ-deficient neutrophils. Alterations in neutrophil cytokine expression in response to inflammation show decreased levels of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and increased levels of tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) expression by C/EBPɛ-deficient neutrophils. Additionally, TNF- expression is increased in nonactivated, circulating C/EBPɛ-deficient neutrophils. Overall, C/EBPɛ-deficient neutrophils are severely functionally impaired, evoking an abnormal microenvironment, which may contribute to the loss of normal responses to inflammatory stimuli. Similarities between the C/EBPɛ-deficient mouse model and the human disease, specific granule deficiency, will be discussed.
