PURPOSE: The lysyl oxidase (LOX) family has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases caused by inflammation and fibrosis. Therefore, we aimed to examine the role of lysyl oxidase-like protein 3 (LOXL3) in Graves' orbitopathy (GO) pathogenesis and its potential as a treatment target.
METHODS: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction compared the transcript levels of the five LOX family subtypes in orbital tissue explants obtained from patients with GO (n = 18) and healthy controls (n = 15). The effects of LOXL3 inhibition on interleukin (IL)-1β-induced proinflammatory cytokines, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β-induced profibrotic proteins, intracellular signaling molecules, and adipogenic markers were evaluated using Western blotting. Adipogenic differentiation was identified using Oil Red O staining.
RESULTS: LOX and LOXL3 transcript levels were high in GO tissues. Stimulation with IL-1β, TGF-β, and insulin-like growth factor-1 significantly increased LOXL3 messenger RNA expression in GO fibroblasts. Furthermore, silencing LOXL3 attenuated the IL-1β-induced production of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1) and TGF-β-induced production of profibrotic proteins (fibronectin, collagen 1α, and alpha-smooth muscle actin). It also reduced the IL-1β or TGF-β-induced expression of phosphorylated nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells, protein kinase B, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase. Additionally, LOXL3 silencing suppressed adipocyte differentiation and the expression of adipogenic transcription factors (leptin, AP-2, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein).
CONCLUSIONS: LOXL3 is crucial in GO pathogenesis. LOXL3 inhibition reduced inflammatory cytokine production, fibrotic protein expression, and fibroblast differentiation into adipocytes. This study highlights LOXL3 as a potential therapeutic target for GO.
