Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)-induced bone loss is a significant challenge in the treatment of osteomyelitis. Our previous study was the first to confirm that granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) mediates S. aureus-induced bone loss. However, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. The objective of this study was to elucidate this. We found G-CSF mediated BMSC senescence and increased IL-1β concentration of serum and bone marrow in mice after S. aureus Infection. Furthermore, we demonstrated that G-CSF promoted the expression of IL1b in murine bone marrow-derived neutrophils. Notably, we identified that IL-1β mediated BMSC (bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell) senescence in mice after S. aureus Infection. Importantly, IL-1β neutralizing antibody effectively alleviated BMSC senescence and bone loss caused by S. aureus Infection in mice. In terms of molecular mechanism, we found IL-1β induced BMSC senescence by JNK/P53 and JNK/BCL2 pathways. Collectively, G-CSF promotes IL-1β production which induces BMSC senescence via JNK/P53 and JNK/BCL2 pathways, leading to S. aureus-induced bone loss. This study identified novel targets for preventing and treating S. aureus-induced bone loss in osteomyelitis.
