IL-3, a cytokine secreted by activated T cells is well known to regulate the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells. IL-3 functions as a link between the immune and the hematopoietic system. In this study, we suggest an important new role of IL-3 in inhibition of TNF-alpha-induced bone resorption in vitro and prevention of inflammatory arthritis in mice. We show here that IL-3 potently and irreversibly inhibits TNF-alpha-induced bone resorption in hematopoietic precursors of monocyte/macrophage lineage. IL-3 showed an inhibitory effect on TNF-alpha-induced bone resorption even in the presence of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1alpha, TGF-beta(1), TGF-beta(3), IL-6, and PGE(2). We found that IL-3 prevented TNF-alpha-induced c-fos nuclear translocation and AP-1 DNA-binding activity. Interestingly, IL-3 pretreatment prevented the development of inflammatory arthritis in mice induced by a mixture of anti-type II collagen mAbs and LPS. Furthermore, IL-3 prevented cartilage and bone loss in the joints indirectly through inhibition of inflammation. Thus, we provide the first evidence that IL-3, a strong regulator of hematopoiesis, also plays an important role in inhibition of TNF-alpha-induced bone resorption and prevention of inflammatory arthritis in mice.
