CNPY2 Regulates Macrophage Polarization and Inflammatory Immune Responses via the TLR4/NF-κB Signaling Pathway to Alleviate Osteomyelitis of the JawOA
Background:Osteomyelitis of the jaw(OMJ)is a severe infectious bone disease.While Canopy FGF signaling regulator 2(CNPY2)is known to regulate inflammatory diseases,its role in OMJ remains unclear.The study aimed to investigate the role of CNPY2 in the mandibular joint and its molecular mechanisms.Methods:An in vitro OMJ model was generated by stimulating RAW264.7 macrophages with S.aureus.CNPY2knockdown and overexpression models were established using siRNA and plasmids.Functional assays assessed cell proliferation,migration,and invasion.Macrophage polarization,cytokine secretion,and osteoclast differentiation were analyzed.The CNPY2-Toll-Like Receptor 4(TLR4)/Nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-kB)interaction was confirmed by Co-Immunoprecipitation(co-IP)and Western blot.In vivo,an OMJ mouse model was induced by S.aureus jaw injection and treated with si-CNPY2 lentivirus.Therapeutic effects were evaluated through histology and protein analysis.Results:S.aureus stimulation upregulated CNPY2 expression in RAW264.7 cells.Knockdown of CNPY2inhibited S.aureus-induced cell proliferation,migration,and invasion,promoted macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype,suppressed M1 polarization,and reduced the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines.Additionally CNPY2 knockdown inhibited S.aureus-induced osteoclast differentiation(decreased expression of markers such as Nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 1[NFATc1]and Cathepsin K[CTSK]).Mechanistically,CNPY2 directly interacts with TLR4,and its knockdown suppresses activation of the TLR4/NF-kB axis.In the OMJ mouse model,CNPY2knockdown significantly reduced inflammatory infiltration in the jaw,inhibited macrophage M1 polarization,and decreased osteoclastogenesis.Conclusion:CNPY2 exacerbates OMJ by enhancing macrophage M1 polarization,inflammation,and osteoclastogenesis via the TLR4/NF-kB axis.Targeting CNPY2 may offer a therapeutic strategy for S.aureus-induced OMJ.
