Abstract

Septic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder caused by Staphylococcus aureus invasion of host synovium, which often progresses to impairment of joint functions. Although it is known that disease progression is intricately dependent on dysregulated inflammation of the knee joint, identification of molecular events mediating such imbalance during S. aureus-induced septic arthritis still requires detailed investigation. In this article, we report that Aurora kinase A (AURKA) responsive WNT signaling activates S. aureus infection-triggered septic arthritis, which results in inflammation of the synovium. In this context, treatment with adapalene, a synthetic retinoid derivative, in a mouse model for septic arthritis shows significant reduction of proinflammatory mediators with a simultaneous decrease in bacterial burden and prevents cartilage loss. Mechanistically, adapalene treatment inhibits WNT signaling with concomitant activation of HIPPO signaling, generating alternatively activated macrophages. Collectively, we establish adapalene as a promising strategy to suppress S. aureus-induced irreversible joint damage.
