Observations made in our lab

1) Increased levels of OPG in feces of children suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) compared to non-IBD

2) Colon biopsy (organ) cultures from patients with IBD secreted significantly more OPG when compared to non-IBD

3) Secretion of OPG by Lamina propria mononuclear cell cultures from patients with IBD and non-IBD were not significantly different

4) Immunohistochemical staining for OPG in sections of colon biopsies from patients with IBD showed specific signal in goblet cell mucus

5) Nuclear OPG signal was seen only in intestinal epithelial cells of colon biopsies from patients with out IBD

6) Immunofluorescence staining for OPG in colorectal carcinoma cell lines (Caco-2, T84 and HCT116)

7) Nuclear OPG signal was seen in Caco-2 cells8) Osteoprotegerin in the nuclear extract of Caco-2 cells could

be demonstrated by Western blot and ELISA 9) Treatment of Caco-2 cells with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-

α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) but not lipopolysaccharide lead to significantly increased secretion of OPG

10) Treatment of Caco-2 cells with IL-18 does not lead to increased secretion of OPG

Conclusions

1) Osteoprotegerin expression by intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) is increased in inflammation and cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β increase OPG secretion

2) Inflammatory conditions lead to exclusion of nuclear OPG from IECs

3) OPG knockdown does not lead to secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β by Caco-2 cells
