    IL-34 is a proinflammatory cytokine implicated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The current study aimed to assess the IL-34 expression in response to two members of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β family, TGF-β1 and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2, in synovial fibroblasts from RA patients. IL-34, TGF-β1, and BMP-2 productions were measured in patient synovial fluids by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. IL-34 mRNA levels were quantified by real-time quantitative PCR in human synovial fibroblasts and murine mesenchymal stem cells. Pharmacologic inhibitions were used to determine the involvement of activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ALK1) and ALK5 downstream TGF-β1 and BMP-2. IL-34, TGF-β1, and BMP-2 were expressed in synovial fluids from RA patients. We found a significant correlation between IL-34 and TGF-β1 expressions. Levels of both IL-34 and TGF-β1 were thus correlated with the total leukocyte counts in the synovial fluids. TGF-β1 and BMP-2 decreased IL-34 expression in the synovial fibroblasts or in murine mesenchymal stem cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner through ALK5 and ALK1 pathways, respectively. In addition, TGF-β1 and BMP-2 antagonized tumor necrosis factor α–induced IL-34 gene expression. This work identifies TGF-β1 and BMP-2 as potent inhibitors of IL-34 expression in RA synovial fibroblasts. These cytokines, as upstream inhibitors of IL-34, may thus contribute to antagonize inflammation and bone erosions in RA

    Les Bisphosphonates et le Tériparatide sont deux traitements de mécanismes différents (respectivement antrésorptif et ostéoformateur) ayant validé leur effet anti fracturaire et densitométrique dans la prise en charge de l'ostéoporose. Le but de notre étude a été de comparer les gains densitométriques à la hanche totale liés à la prise de Bisphosphonates avant ou après Tériparatide . Il s'agit d'une étude rétrospective monocentique menée au CHU de Nantes recensant les données de densitométrie osseuse de 133 patients ostéoporotiques ayant reçu du Tériparatide pendant 18 mois et un Bisphosphonate pendant une durée minimum de 2 ans avant ou après ce dernier ; Nos résultats concluent à un effet plus important des Bisphosphonates après Tériparatide.NANTES-BU Médecine pharmacie (441092101) / SudocSudocFranceF
