Down-regulated GAS6 impairs synovial macrophage efferocytosis and promotes obesity-associated osteoarthritis
Abstract Obesity has always been considered a significant risk factor in OA progression, but the underlying mechanism of obesity-related inflammation in OA synovitis remains unclear. The present study found that synovial macrophages infiltrated and polarized in the obesity microenvironment and identified the essential role of M1 macrophages in impaired macrophage efferocytosis using pathology analysis of obesity-associated OA. The present study revealed that obese OA patients and ApoE−/− mice showed a more pronounced synovitis and enhanced macrophage infiltration in synovial tissue, accompanied by dominant M1 macrophage polarization. Obese OA mice had a more severe cartilage destruction and increased levels of synovial apoptotic cells than OA mice in the control group. Enhanced M1-polarized macrophages in obese synovium decreased growth arrest-specific 6 (GAS6) secretion, resulting in impaired macrophage efferocytosis in synovial apoptotic cells. Intracellular contents released by accumulated apoptotic cells further triggered an immune response and lead to a release of inflammatory factors, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, which induce chondrocyte homeostasis dysfunction in obese OA patients. Intra-articular injection of GAS6 restored the phagocytic capacity of macrophages, reduced the accumulation of local apoptotic cells, and decreased the levels of TUNEL- and caspase-3-positive cells, preserving cartilage thickness and preventing the progression of obesity-associated OA. Therefore, blocking M1 macrophage polarization or intra-articular injection of GAS6 is a potential therapeutic strategy for obesity-associated OA..
