Open Access Abstract This study demonstrates that IL-23 stimulates the differentiation of human osteoclasts from peripheral blood mononuclear cells PBMC . Furthermore in vivo blockade of endogenous IL-23 activity by treatment with anti-IL-23 antibody attenuates collagen-induced arthritis in rats by preventing both inflammation and bone destruction. IL-23 induced human osteoclastogenesis in cultures of PBMC in the absence of osteoblasts or exogenous soluble-receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand RANKL . This IL-23-induced osteoclastogenesis was inhibited by osteoprotegerin anti-IL-17 antibody and etanercept suggesting that RANKL IL-17 and TNF-alpha are involved. In addition we found the ratio of production levels of IL-17 to those of IFN-gamma from activated human T cells was elevated at 1 to 10 ng ml IL-23. The inductive effect of IL-17 and the inhibitory effect of IFN-gamma on osteoclastogenesis indicate that the balance of these two .
