Spondyloarthropathies, the second most frequently occurring form of chronic inflammatory arthritis, affects young adults in particular. However, a proper model with which to study the biology of this disease and to develop therapeutics is lacking. One of the most accepted animal models for this disease uses HLA-B27/Hu-β2m transgenic rats; however, only 30%-50% of male HLA-B27/Hu-β2m rats develop spontaneous, clinically apparent spondylitis and have a variable time until disease onset. Here, we report a high-incidence, low-variation spontaneous mouse model that delineates how the combination of inflammatory cytokine interleukin-27 (IL-27) signaling deficiency and mitogenic signaling (mutant p53 R172H ) in vivo, leads to bone loss in the vertebral bodies and ossification of the cartilage in the intervertebral discs. In this human disease–like mouse model, bone loss and pathogenic bone development are seen as early as 4 months of age in the absence of inflammatory aggregates in the enthesis or intervertebral disc.
