A pathological joint-liver axis mediated by matrikine-activated CD4+T cells

The knee joint has long been considered a closed system.The pathological effects of joint diseases on distant organs have not been investigated.Herein,our clinical data showed that post-traumatic joint damage,combined with joint bleeding(hemarthrosis),exhibits a worse liver function compared with healthy control.With mouse model,hemarthrosis induces both cartilage degeneration and remote liver damage.Next,we found that hemarthrosis induces the upregulation in ratio and differentiation towards Th17 cells of CD4+T cells in peripheral blood and spleen.Deletion of CD4+T cells reverses hemarthrosis-induced liver damage.Degeneration of cartilage matrix induced by hemarthrosis upregulates serological type Ⅱ collagen(COL Ⅱ),which activates CD4+T cells.Systemic application of a COL Ⅱ antibody blocks the activation.Furthermore,bulk RNAseq and single-cell qPCR analysis revealed that the cartilage Akt pathway is inhibited by blood treatment.Intra-articular application of Akt activator blocks the cartilage degeneration and thus protects against the liver impairment in mouse and pig models.Taken together,our study revealed a pathological joint-liver axis mediated by matrikine-activated CD4+T cells,which refreshes the organ-crosstalk axis and provides a new treatment target for hemarthrosis-related disease.
