Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pes anserine bursitis is the most common cause of periarticular knee pain. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of local injection-based therapies with different materials. DESIGN The enrolled patients were randomly allocated to three groups to receive different interventions. Outcome measures included pain severity using the visual analog scale and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index that was evaluated before the intervention, 1 and 8 wks after that. RESULTS This trial was performed on 72 participants, with male-to-female ratio of 0.14 and with a mean age of 61.49 ± 9.35 yrs. Corticosteroids in the first group, oxygen-ozone in the second group, and dextrose 20% in the third group, were injected into the pes anserine bursa under ultrasound guidance. Interaction between time and group showed a statistically significant improvement in visual analog scale and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index ( P ≤ 0.05) in favor of corticosteroids and oxygen-ozone groups after 1 wk and in favor of oxygen-ozone and prolotherapy groups after 8 wks. CONCLUSIONS All three treatment options are effective for patients with pes anserine bursitis. This study showed that the effects of oxygen-ozone injection and prolotherapy last longer than those of corticosteroid injection.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease characterised by articular cartilage destruction, and its complex aetiology contributes to suboptimal clinical treatment outcomes. A close association exists between glucose metabolism dysregulation and OA pathogenesis. Owing to the unique environment of low oxygen and glucose concentrations, chondrocytes rely heavily on their glycolytic capacity, exhibiting distinct spatiotemporal differences. However, under pathological stimulation, chondrocytes undergo excessive glycolytic activity while mitochondrial respiration and other branches of glucose metabolism are compromised. This metabolic change induces cartilage degeneration by reprogramming the inflammatory responses. Sirtuins, a highly conserved family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylases, regulate glucose metabolism in response to energy fluctuations in different cellular compartments,alleviating metabolic stress. SIRT1, the most extensively studied sirtuin, participates in maintaining glucose homeostasis in almost all key metabolic tissues. While actively contributing to the OA progression and displaying diverse biological effects in cartilage protection, SIRT1's role in regulating glucose metabolism in chondrocytes has not received sufficient attention. This review focuses on discussing the beneficial role of SIRT1 in OA progression from a metabolic regulation perspective based on elucidating the primary characteristics of chondrocyte glucose metabolism. We also summarise the potential mechanisms and therapeutic strategies targeting SIRT1 in chondrocytes to guide clinical practice and explore novel therapeutic directions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with osteoarthritis present with comorbidities, and the potential causal associations remain incompletely elucidated. The present study undertook a large-scale investigation about the causality between osteoarthritis and variable traits, using the summary-level data of genome-wide association studies (GWAS). METHODS The present study included the summary-level GWS data of knee osteoarthritis, hip osteoarthritis, hip or knee osteoarthritis, hand osteoarthritis, and other 1355 traits. Genetic correlation analysis was conducted between osteoarthritis and other traits through cross-trait bivariate linkage disequilibrium score regression. Subsequently, latent causal variable analysis was performed to explore the causal association when there was a significant genetic correlation. Genetic correlation and latent causal variable analysis were conducted on the Complex Traits Genomics Virtual Lab platform ( https://vl.genoma.io/ ). RESULTS We found 133 unique phenotypes showing causal relationships with osteoarthritis. Our results confirmed several well-established risk factors of osteoarthritis, such as obesity, weight, BMI, and meniscus derangement. Additionally, our findings suggested putative causal links between osteoarthritis and multiple factors. Socioeconomic determinants such as occupational exposure to dust and diesel exhaust, extended work hours exceeding 40 per week, and unemployment status were implicated. Furthermore, our analysis revealed causal associations with cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, including heart failure, deep venous thrombosis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and elevated cholesterol levels. Soft tissue and musculoskeletal disorders, such as hallux valgus, internal derangement of the knee, and spondylitis, were also identified to be causally related to osteoarthritis. The study also identified the putative causal associations of osteoarthritis with digestive and respiratory diseases, such as Barrett's esophagus, esophagitis, and asthma, as well as psychiatric conditions including panic attacks and manic or hyperactive episodes. Additionally, we observed osteoarthritis causally related to pharmacological treatments, such as the use of antihypertensive medications, anti-asthmatic drugs, and antidepressants. CONCLUSION Our study uncovered a wide range of traits causally associated with osteoarthritis. Further studies are needed to validate and illustrate the detailed mechanism of those causal associations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alternative splicing (AS) is a principal mode of genetic regulation and one of the most widely used mechanisms to generate structurally and functionally distinct mRNA and protein variants. Dysregulation of AS may result in aberrant transcription and protein products, leading to the emergence of human diseases. Although considered important for regulating gene expression, genome-wide AS dysregulation, underlying mechanisms, and clinical relevance in knee osteoarthritis (OA) remain unelucidated. Therefore, in this study, we elucidated and validated AS events and their regulatory mechanisms during OA progression. RESULTS In this study, we identified differentially expressed genes between human OA and healthy meniscus samples. Among them, the OA-associated genes were primarily enriched in biological pathways such as extracellular matrix organization and ossification. The predominant OA-associated regulated AS (RAS) events were found to be involved in apoptosis during OA development. The expression of the apoptosis-related gene BCL2L13, XAF1, and NF2 were significantly different between OA and healthy meniscus samples. The construction of a covariation network of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and RAS genes revealed that differentially expressed RBP genes LAMA2 and CUL4B may regulate the apoptotic genes XAF1 and BCL2L13 to undergo AS events during OA progression. Finally, RT-qPCR revealed that CUL4B expression was significantly higher in OA meniscus samples than in normal controls and that the AS ratio of XAF1 was significantly different between control and OA samples; these findings were consistent with their expected expression and regulatory relationships. CONCLUSIONS Differentially expressed RBPs may regulate the AS of apoptotic genes during knee OA progression. XAF1 and its regulator, CUL4B, may serve as novel biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for this disease.

Abstract
Joint injury is associated with risk for development of osteoarthritis (OA). Increasing evidence suggests that activation of fibrinolysis is involved in OA pathogenesis. However, the role of the fibrinolytic pathway is not well understood. Here, we showed that the fibrinolytic pathway, which includes plasminogen/plasmin, tissue plasminogen activator, urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA), and the uPA receptor (uPAR), was dysregulated in human OA joints. Pharmacological inhibition of plasmin attenuated OA progression after a destabilization of the medial meniscus in a mouse model whereas genetic deficiency of plasmin activator inhibitor, or injection of plasmin, exacerbated OA. We detected increased uptake of uPA/uPAR in mouse OA joints by microPET/CT imaging. In vitro studies identified that plasmin promotes OA development through multiple mechanisms, including the degradation of lubricin and cartilage proteoglycans and induction of inflammatory and degradative mediators. We showed that uPA and uPAR produced inflammatory and degradative mediators by activating the PI3K, 3'-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1, AKT, and ERK signaling cascades and activated matrix metalloproteinases to degrade proteoglycan. Together, we demonstrated that fibrinolysis contributes to the development of OA through multiple mechanisms and suggested that therapeutic targeting of the fibrinolysis pathway can prevent or slow development of OA.

Long-term ambient air pollution and the risk of musculoskeletal diseases: A prospective cohort study. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 466:133658.

Abstract
Evidence of the associations of air pollution and musculoskeletal diseases is inconsistent. This study aimed to examine the associations between air pollutants and the risk of incident musculoskeletal diseases, such as degenerative joint diseases (n = 38,850) and inflammatory arthropathies (n = 20,108). An air pollution score was constructed to assess the combined effect of PM2.5, PM2.5-10, NO2, and NOX. Cox proportional hazard model was applied to assess the relationships between air pollutants and the incidence of each musculoskeletal disease. The air pollution scores exhibited the modest association with an increased risk of osteoporosis (HR = 1.006, 95% CI: 1.002-1.011). Among the individual air pollutants, PM2.5 and PM2.5-10 exhibited the most significant effect on elevated risk of musculoskeletal diseases, such as PM2.5 on osteoporosis (HR = 1.064, 95% CI: 1.020-1.110), PM2.5-10 on inflammatory arthropathies (HR = 1.059, 95% CI: 1.037-1.081). Females were found to have a higher risk of incident musculoskeletal diseases when exposed to air pollutants. Individuals with extreme BMI or lower socioeconomic status had a higher risk of developing musculoskeletal diseases. Our findings reveal that long-term exposure to ambient air pollutants may contribute to an increased risk of musculoskeletal diseases.

Abstract
The aim of this prospective cohort study was to compare changes in lifestyle behaviours over nine years in women who were and were not diagnosed with osteoarthritis (OA). Data were from the 1945-51 cohort of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (aged 50-55 in 2001) who completed written surveys in 2001, 2004, 2007 and 2010. The sample included 610 women who were, and 3810 women who were not diagnosed with OA between 2004 and 2007. Descriptive statistics were used to assess changes in lifestyle behaviours (weight, sitting time, physical activity, alcohol and smoking) in the two groups, over three survey intervals: from 2001-2004 (prior to diagnosis); from 2004-2007 (around diagnosis); and from 2007-2010 (following diagnosis). Compared with women without OA (28%), a greater proportion of women with OA (38%) made at least one positive lifestyle change (p < 0.001). These included losing > 5 kg (9.8% vs. 14.4%, p < 0.001), and reducing sitting time by an hour (29.5% vs. 39.1%, p < 0.001) following diagnosis. However, women with OA also made negative lifestyle changes (35% vs. 29%, p < 0.001), for example, gaining > 5 kg around the time of diagnosis (21.4% vs. 14.5%, p < 0.001) and increasing sitting time by an hour following diagnosis (38.4% vs. 32.3%, p = 0.003). More women with OA also started smoking following diagnosis (8.9% vs. 0.8%, p < 0.001). While some women made positive changes in lifestyle behaviours during and following OA diagnosis, others made negative changes. Consistent support from clinicians for managing OA symptoms may enable patients to make more positive changes in lifestyle behaviours.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the epidemiology of osteoarthritis in China in a comprehensive and reliable way, to project its future epidemiological patterns, and to mitigate its health hazards. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data were extracted and analyzed from the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2019. Trends in osteoarthritis epidemiology were explored using joinpoint regression analysis. Additionally, we analyzed dynamic trends using the sociodemographic index (SDI) of China. To assess and predict the epidemiology of osteoarthritis from 2020 to 2039, we used both the Bayesian age-period-cohort model and Nordpred model. RESULTS The number of prevalent cases, incident cases, and years lived with disability (YLDs) for osteoarthritis in China increased from 51.8, 4.6, and 1.8 million, respectively, in 1990, to 132.8, 10.7, and 4.7 million, respectively, in 2019, and the average annual percentage changes were 3.286, 2.938, and 3.324, respectively. The prevalence and YLDs peaked in the population aged over 90 years old, while the incidence peaked in the population aged around 50 years old. A significant positive correlation was found between osteoarthritis burden and SDI. Osteoarthritis burden is expected to continue to increase. In the population studied here, it was higher in women than in men, but this may invert by 2039. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence, incidence, and YLDs of osteoarthritis had significantly increased and may continue to increase during the next 2 decades. Prevention and treatment strategies should target women, middle-aged individuals, and the elderly.

Abstract
The health benefits of ginger rhizomes (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) have been known for centuries. Recently, ginger root has gained more attention due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Many of the bioactive components of ginger may have therapeutic benefits in treating inflammatory arthritis. Their properties seem especially helpful in treating diseases linked to persistent inflammation and pain, symptoms present in the course of the most prevalent rheumatic diseases, such as osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This review analyzes the current knowledge regarding ginger's beneficial anti-inflammatory effect in both in vitro and in vivo studies as well as clinical trials. The drug delivery systems to improve ginger's bioavailability and medicinal properties are discussed. Understanding ginger's beneficial aspects may initiate further studies on improving its bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy and achieving more a comprehensive application in medicine.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic degenerative joint disease in middle-aged and elderly people, characterized by joint pain and dysfunction. Macrophages are key players in OA pathology, and their activation state has been studied extensively. Various studies have suggested that macrophages might respond to stimuli in their microenvironment by changing their phenotypes to pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory phenotypes, which is called macrophage polarization. Macrophages accumulate and become polarized (M1 or M2) in many tissues, such as synovium, adipose tissue, bone marrow, and bone mesenchymal tissues in joints, while resident macrophages as well as other stromal cells, including fibroblasts, chondrocytes, and osteoblasts, form the joint and function as an integrated unit. In this study, we focus exclusively on synovial macrophages, adipose tissue macrophages, and osteoclasts, to investigate their roles in the development of OA. We review recent key findings related to macrophage polarization and OA, including pathogenesis, molecular pathways, and therapeutics. We summarize several signaling pathways in macrophage reprogramming related to OA, including NF-κB, MAPK, TGF-β, JAK/STAT, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and NLRP3. Of note, despite the increasing availability of treatments for osteoarthritis, like intra-articular injections, surgery, and cellular therapy, the demand for more effective clinical therapies has remained steady. Therefore, we also describe the current prospective therapeutic methods that deem macrophage polarization to be a therapeutic target, including physical stimulus, chemical compounds, and biological molecules, to enhance cartilage repair and alleviate the progression of OA.

Abstract
Introduction Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), the most common chronic degenerative condition in an older population, accounts for many disabilities around the world. One of the most popular treatments is intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Objective Prior studies have found that both HA and PRP had a therapeutic effect on KOA. This study aims to perform a systematic review regarding whether PRP is superior to HA for KOA. Method We conducted a comprehensive literature search using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines for prospective randomized control trials (pRCTs) in three international databases PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect from 2019-2022. Two researchers independently searched the reviews, extracted, and cross-checked the data. The disparity when choosing the literature was resolved by discussion. The modified Jadad was scale used to assess the quality of the included studies. Cochrane risk of bias 2 tool (RoB-2) was used for determininzg risk of bias. Results Twenty three studies were eligible for inclusion. Four pRCT with the highest Jadad score were selected as best evidence. Risk of bias assesment concluded two studies having a low risk of bias, one is high risk of bias, and the other possesses some concerns.. Three studies found no difference in patient-reported outcomes between PRP and HA group and one study concluded that PRP is more effective than HA in treating KOA. Conclusion Intra-articular injections of PRP and HA are effective interventions for KOA. However, there is not enough evidence of PRP superiority over HA.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the added value of computed tomography (CT) to identify severe hip osteoarthritis (OA). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective query of all cases of hip or knee arthroplasty planning CTs between January 2018 and March 2022 was performed. Age, sex, and symptoms were collected from the medical record. CTs were evaluated for the degree of osteoarthritis and classified using an adapted Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading system in the anterior, posterior, superior, and superomedial hip. Frontal hip or pelvis radiographs within 1 year of the CT were also graded. RESULTS There were 265 eligible hips in 178 subjects, age 66 ± 11 (range 31-93) years, with 85/178 (48%) males and 93/178 (52%) females, and 127/265 (48%) right and 138/265 (52%) left hips. The posterior hip joint was the most common location for grade 2/3 OA (20%), followed by superior hip joint (14%). Anterior or posterior grade 2/3 OA occurred concurrently with superior or superomedial grade 2/3 OA in 32/68 (47%) of hips. Grade 2/3 OA was detected on CT more commonly than on XR both in the superior (14 vs 8.6%, P = 0.0016) and superomedial (8.7 vs 4.8%, P = 0.016) hip joint. Of the 71 symptomatic hips, 22 (31%) hips demonstrated either anterior and/or posterior grade 2/3 OA on CT, and 9 (9/22, 41%) of these hips had superior or superomedial grade 0/1 OA. CONCLUSION CT may be warranted when the patient has pain suggestive of osteoarthritis not detected on radiographs.

Proteome and phospholipidome interrelationship of synovial fluid-derived extracellular vesicles in equine osteoarthritis: An exploratory 'multi-omics' study to identify composite biomarkers. Biochem Biophys Rep 2024; 37:101635.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis causes progressive joint deterioration, severe morbidity, and reduced mobility in both humans and horses. Currently, osteoarthritis is diagnosed at late stages through clinical examination and radiographic imaging, hence it is challenging to address and provide timely therapeutic interventions to slow disease progression or ameliorate symptoms. Extracellular vesicles are cell-derived vesicles that play a key role in cell-to-cell communication and are potential sources for specific composite biomarker panel discovery. We here used a multi-omics strategy combining proteomics and phospholipidomics in an integral approach to identify composite biomarkers associated to purified extracellular vesicles from synovial fluid of healthy, mildly and severely osteoarthritic equine joints. Although the number of extracellular vesicles was unaffected by osteoarthritis, proteome profiling of extracellular vesicles by mass spectrometry identified 40 differentially expressed proteins (non-adjusted p < 0.05) in osteoarthritic joints associated with 7 significant canonical pathways in osteoarthritis. Moreover, pathway analysis unveiled changes in disease and molecular functions during osteoarthritis development. Phospholipidome profiling by mass spectrometry showed a relative increase in sphingomyelin and a decrease in phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylserine in extracellular vesicles derived from osteoarthritic joints compared to healthy joints. Unsupervised data integration revealed positive correlations between the proteome and the phospholipidome. Comprehensive analysis showed that some phospholipids and their related proteins increased as the severity of osteoarthritis progressed, while others decreased or remained stable. Altogether our data show interrelationships between synovial fluid extracellular vesicle-associated phospholipids and proteins responding to osteoarthritis pathology and which could be explored as potential composite diagnostic biomarkers of disease.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease characterized by cartilage degeneration and persistent pain. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) plays a significant role in OA inflammation and pain. Recent studies have revealed the significant role of PGE2-mediated skeletal interoception in the progression of OA, providing new insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of OA. This aspect also deserves special attention in this review. Additionally, PGE2 is directly involved in pathologic processes including aberrant subchondral bone remodeling, cartilage degeneration, and synovial inflammation. Therefore, celecoxib, a commonly used drug to alleviate inflammatory pain through inhibiting PGE2, serves not only as an analgesic for OA but also as a potential disease-modifying drug. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the discovery history, synthesis and release pathways, and common physiological roles of PGE2. We discuss the roles of PGE2 and celecoxib in OA and pain from skeletal interoception and multiple perspectives. The purpose of this review is to highlight PGE2-mediated skeletal interoception and refresh our understanding of celecoxib in the pathogenesis and treatment of OA.

Abstract
Background: This study investigated the association between obesity and short-term patient-reported outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: The primary outcomes were the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index's (WOMAC) pain and function scores. Data were collected preoperatively and 2 and 4 weeks after surgery. Patients were stratified into three groups based on body mass index (BMI): normal weight (BMI < 24.99 kg/m2), overweight (25 ≤ BMI < 29.99 kg/m2), and obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2). The associations between BMI and the WOMAC pain and function scores were assessed using generalized linear mixed models. Results: Among the 102 patients (median age: 75.0, women [85.3%]), 29.4%, 48.0%, and 22.5% were normal weight, overweight, and obese, respectively. The mean pain and function scores at baseline were similar across the BMI-stratified groups (p = 0.727 and 0.277, respectively). The pain score significantly improved 2 weeks post-surgery (p = 0.001). The function score improved significantly 4 weeks post-surgery (p < 0.001). The group and group-by-time interaction effects lacked statistical significance. Conclusions: All patients statistically and clinically showed relevant pain reduction and functional improvement shortly after TKA, irrespective of their obesity status. These data may help healthcare professionals discuss the expectations of pain amelioration and functional improvement with TKA candidates.

Abstract
Lei's formula (LSF), a traditional Chinese herbal remedy, is recognized for its remarkable clinical effectiveness in treating osteoarthritis (OA). Despite its therapeutic potential, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying LSF's action in OA have remained enigmatic. Existing research has shed light on the role of the mTOR signaling pathway in promoting chondrocyte senescence, a central factor in OA-related cartilage degeneration. Consequently, targeting mTOR to mitigate chondrocyte senescence presents a promising avenue for OA treatment. The primary objective of this study is to establish LSF's chondroprotective potential and confirm its anti-osteoarthritic efficacy through mTOR inhibition. In vivo assessments using an OA mouse model reveal substantial articular cartilage degeneration. However, LSF serves as an effective guardian of articular cartilage, evidenced by reduced subchondral osteosclerosis, increased cartilage thickness, improved surface smoothness, decreased OARSI scores, elevated expression of cartilage anabolic markers (Col2 and Aggrecan), reduced expression of catabolic markers (Adamts5 and MMP13), increased expression of the chondrocyte hypertrophy marker (Col10), and decreased expression of chondrocyte senescence markers (P16 and P21). In vitro findings demonstrate that LSF shields chondrocytes from H2O2-induced apoptosis, inhibits senescence, enhances chondrocyte differentiation, promotes the synthesis of type II collagen and proteoglycans, and reduces cartilage degradation. Mechanistically, LSF suppresses chondrocyte senescence through the mTOR axis, orchestrating the equilibrium between chondrocyte anabolism and catabolism, ultimately leading to reduced apoptosis and decelerated OA cartilage degradation. LSF holds significant promise as a therapeutic approach for OA treatment, offering new insights into potential treatments for this prevalent age-related condition.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) causes joint pain and disability due to the abnormal production of inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in chondrocytes, leading to cell death and cartilage matrix destruction. Selenium (Se) intake can protect cells against oxidative damage. It is still unknown whether Se supplementation is beneficial for OA. This study investigated the effects of Se on sodium iodoacetate (MIA)-imitated OA progress in human chondrocyte cell line (SW1353 cells) and rats. The results showed that 0.3 μM of Se treatment could protect SW1353 cells from MIA-induced damage by the Nrf2 pathway by promoting the gene expression of glutathione-synthesis-related enzymes such as the glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit, the glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit, and glutathione synthetase. In addition, glutathione, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase expressions are also elevated to eliminate excessive ROS production. Moreover, Se could downregulate NF-κB, leading to a decrease in cytokines, matrix proteases, and glycosaminoglycans. In the rats, MIA-induced cartilage loss was lessened after 2 weeks of Se supplementation by oral gavage; meanwhile, glutathione synthesis was increased, and the expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines were decreased. These results suggest that Se intake is beneficial for OA due to its effects of decreasing cartilage loss by enhancing antioxidant capacity and reducing inflammation.

Yi YS. Roles of the Caspase-11 Non-Canonical Inflammasome in Rheumatic Diseases. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:2091. [PMID: 38396768 PMCID: PMC10888639 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25042091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2024] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Inflammasomes are intracellular multiprotein complexes that activate inflammatory signaling pathways. Inflammasomes comprise two major classes: canonical inflammasomes, which were discovered first and are activated in response to a variety of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and non-canonical inflammasomes, which were discovered recently and are only activated in response to intracellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Although a larger number of studies have successfully demonstrated that canonical inflammasomes, particularly the NLRP3 inflammasome, play roles in various rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), infectious arthritis (IR), gouty arthritis (GA), osteoarthritis (OA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), psoriatic arthritis (PA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and Sjögren's syndrome (SjS), the regulatory roles of non-canonical inflammasomes, such as mouse caspase-11 and human caspase-4 non-canonical inflammasomes, in these diseases are still largely unknown. Interestingly, an increasing number of studies have reported possible roles for non-canonical inflammasomes in the pathogenesis of various mouse models of rheumatic disease. This review comprehensively summarizes and discusses recent emerging studies demonstrating the regulatory roles of non-canonical inflammasomes, particularly focusing on the caspase-11 non-canonical inflammasome, in the pathogenesis and progression of various types of rheumatic diseases and provides new insights into strategies for developing potential therapeutics to prevent and treat rheumatic diseases as well as associated diseases by targeting non-canonical inflammasomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of occupational noise exposure on various diseases, including ear and cardiovascular diseases, has been studied extensively. Nevertheless, the connection between osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and occupational noise exposure remains largely unexplored in real-world scenarios. This study assessed the association between occupational noise exposure and the prevalence of two types of arthritis. METHODS This study used database data from 2005 to 2012 and 2015-March 2020 from the prepandemic National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) related to occupational noise exposure and arthritis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the association between occupational noise exposure and RA/OA, adjusting for age, gender, race, education level, marital status, the ratio of family income to poverty, trouble sleeping, smoking status, alcohol consumption, diabetes, hypertension, body mass index (BMI), metabolic equivalents (METs), and thyroid disease. RESULTS This study included 11,053 participants. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that previous exposure to occupational noise was positively associated with self-reported RA (OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.18-1.73) and OA (OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.07-1.46). Compared to individuals without a history of occupational noise exposure, those with an exposure duration of 1 year or greater exhibited higher odds of prevalent RA, though there was no apparent exposure response relationship for noise exposure durations longer than 1 year. The results of our subgroup analyses showed a significant interaction between age and occupational noise exposure on the odds of self-reported prevalent OA. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest an association between occupational noise exposure and the prevalence of RA and OA. Nevertheless, further clinical and basic research is warranted to better explore their associations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To highlight some important findings from osteoarthritis (OA) epidemiology and therapy research undertaken over the past year. METHODS Search of MEDLINE and EMBASE databases between April 1, 2022 to March 3, 2023 using "exp *Osteoarthritis/" as the preliminary search term. The search was limited to articles published in English and including human subjects. Final inclusions were based on perceived importance and results that may inform improved identification of risk factors or OA treatments, as well as OA subgroups of potential relevance to risk factors or treatment approaches. RESULTS 3182 studies were screened, leaving 208 eligible for inclusion. This narrative review of thirty-three selected studies was arranged into: a) OA predictors - population-based studies, b) Specific predictors of OA and OA outcome; c) Intra-articular injections, and d) OA phenotypes. There was some suggestion of sex differences in predictors of incidence or outcomes. Body mass index changes appear largely to affect knee OA outcomes. Evidence points to a lack of benefit of viscosupplementation in knee OA; findings were variable for other injectables. Studies of OA phenotypes reveal potentially relevant clinical and pathophysiological differences. CONCLUSIONS Identifying risk factors for the incidence/progression of OA represents an ongoing and important area of OA research. Sex may play a role in this understanding and bears consideration and further study. For knee injectables other than viscosupplementation, additional high-quality trials appear warranted. Continued investigation and application of phenotyping across the OA disease, illness and care spectrum may be key to developing disease-modifying agents and their appropriate selection for individuals.

Abstract
Injured articular cartilage is a leading cause for osteoarthritis. We recently discovered that endogenous stem/progenitor cells not only reside in the superficial zone of mouse articular cartilage, but also regenerated heterotopic bone and cartilage in vivo. However, whether critical-size osteochondral defects can be repaired by pure induced chemotatic cell homing of these endogenous stem/progenitor cells remains elusive. Here, we first found that cells in the superficial zone of articular cartilage surrounding surgically created 3 × 1 mm defects in explant culture of adult goat and rabbit knee joints migrated into defect-filled fibrin/hylaro1nate gel, and this migration was significantly more robust upon delivery of exogenous granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). Remarkably, G-CSF-recruited chondrogenic progenitor cells (CPCs) showed significantly stronger migration ability than donor-matched chondrocytes and osteoblasts. G-CSF-recruited CPCs robustly differentiated into chondrocytes, modestly into osteoblasts, and barely into adipocytes. In vivo, critical-size osteochondral defects were repaired by G-CSF-recruited endogenous cells postoperatively at 6 and 12 weeks in comparison to poor healing by gel-only group or defect-only group. ICRS and O'Driscoll scores of articular cartilage were significantly higher for both 6- and 12-week G-CSF samples than corresponding gel-only and defect-only groups. Thus, endogenous stem/progenitor cells may be activated by G-CSF, a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared bone-marrow stimulating factor, to repair osteochondral defects.

Abstract
Pain is the most debilitating symptom of knee osteoarthritis (OA) that can even persist after total knee replacement. The severity and duration of pain do not correlate well with joint tissue alterations, suggesting other mechanisms may drive pain persistence in OA. Previous work identified that macrophages accumulate in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) containing the somas of sensory neurons innervating the injured knee joint in a mouse OA model and acquire a M1-like phenotype to maintain pain. Here we aimed to unravel the mechanisms that govern DRG macrophage accumulation and programming. The accumulation of F4/80+iNOS+ (M1-like) DRG macrophages was detectable at day 3 after mono-iodoacetate (MIA)-induced OA in the mouse. Depletion of macrophages prior to induction of OA resolved pain-like behaviors by day 7 without affecting the initial development of pain-like behaviors. Analysis of DRG transcript identified CXCL11 and myostatin. CXCL11 and myostatin were increased at 3 weeks post OA induction, with CXCL11 expression partially localized in satellite glial cells and myostatin in sensory neurons. Blocking CXCL11 or myostatin prevented the persistence of OA pain, without affecting the initiation of pain. CXCL11 neutralization reduced the number of total and F4/80+iNOS+ DRG macrophages, whilst myostatin inhibition diminished the programming of F4/80+iNOS+ DRG macrophages. Intrathecal injection of recombinant CXCL11 did not induce pain-associated behaviors. In contrast, intrathecal myostatin increased the number of F4/80+iNOS+ DRG macrophages concurrent with the development of mechanical hypersensitivity that was prevented by macrophages depletion or CXCL11 blockade. Finally, myostatin inhibition during established OA, resolved pain and F4/80+iNOS+ macrophage accumulation in the DRG. In conclusion, DRG macrophages maintain OA pain, but are not required for the induction of OA pain. Myostatin is a key ligand in neuro-immune communication that drives the persistence of pain in OA through nervous tissue macrophages and represent a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of OA pain.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a deep learning model to distinguish rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from osteoarthritis (OA) using hand radiographs and to evaluate the effects of changing pretraining and training parameters on model performance. MATERIALS AND METHODS A convolutional neural network was retrospectively trained on 9714 hand radiograph exams from 8387 patients obtained from 2017 to 2021 at seven hospitals within an integrated healthcare network. Performance was assessed using an independent test set of 250 exams from 146 patients. Binary discriminatory capacity (no arthritis versus arthritis; RA versus not RA) and three-way classification (no arthritis versus OA versus RA) were evaluated. The effects of additional pretraining using musculoskeletal radiographs, using all views as opposed to only the posteroanterior view, and varying image resolution on model performance were also investigated. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and Cohen's kappa coefficient were used to evaluate diagnostic performance. RESULTS For no arthritis versus arthritis, the model achieved an AUC of 0.975 (95% CI: 0.957, 0.989). For RA versus not RA, the model achieved an AUC of 0.955 (95% CI: 0.919, 0.983). For three-way classification, the model achieved a kappa of 0.806 (95% CI: 0.742, 0.866) and accuracy of 87.2% (95% CI: 83.2%, 91.2%) on the test set. Increasing image resolution increased performance up to 1024 × 1024 pixels. Additional pretraining on musculoskeletal radiographs and using all views did not significantly affect performance. CONCLUSION A deep learning model can be used to distinguish no arthritis, OA, and RA on hand radiographs with high performance.

Abstract
CONTEXT Social determinants of health (SDOH) are economic, social, and political conditions that affect a person's overall health or the health of a group of people. Researchers have investigated the effects of SDOH on various diseases, such as asthma, obesity, and chronic stress, but few publications have been made regarding its effects on arthritis. OBJECTIVES Our primary objective was to analyze the implications of SDOH on disease severity relating to pain levels and limitations experienced among people with diagnosed arthritis. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional analysis of the 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). We included individuals who reported having arthritis, were over the age of 45, and who also completed the SDOH module. Pain scores from the four-question Arthritis Burden Module were correlated to question responses pertaining to SDOH to determine their associations. RESULTS For the analysis, our sample size was 25,682, with response rates varying slightly among the SDOH questions. Individuals diagnosed with arthritis were more likely to report functional limitations if they experienced food insecurity (χ2=234.0, p<0.001), financial instability (χ2=149.7, p<0.001), or frequent stress (χ2=297.6, p<0.001). Further, we found that individuals with arthritis experiencing any domain of SDOH reported higher mean pain scores than those not experiencing that domain, with the highest pain score difference among those reporting frequent stress (Coefficient: 1.93, CI=1.74-2.13, t=19.43, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our results show that SDOH profoundly impact pain levels and limitations experienced by patients with arthritis. Although work has already begun to help alleviate burdens associated with SDOH, more research and actions are required to create equitable health throughout the population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the safety and effectiveness of high-density light-emitting diode (LED) irradiation therapy in patients with hand osteoarthritis (OA) and compare the pre- and post-intervention symptoms. METHODS Twenty-three patients with hand OA underwent eight sessions of high-density LED irradiation therapy directed at the five most painful areas in the finger joints. Each session lasted for 18 minutes; and the sessions were conducted twice a week, for 4 weeks. We evaluated the degree of pain using the visual analogue scale, ring size, and passive range of motion (flexion+extension) for two most painful joints from the baseline to post-therapy (weeks 4 and 6). RESULTS High-density LED irradiation therapy significantly reduced the pain posttreatment compared with that observed at the baseline (p<0.001). Although improvements were observed in ring size and joint range of motion at 4 and 6 weeks, they were not statistically significant (p>0.05). No adverse events were observed. CONCLUSION We examined the safety and effectiveness of high-density LED irradiation therapy in reducing pain and hand swelling and improving joint mobility in patients with hand OA. These results suggest that high-density LED irradiation therapy has the potential to be an important strategy for managing hand OA.

Abstract
Objective Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the major disabling human diseases. The related studies indicate a potential correlation between walking and OA. However, there is still a lack of evidence in genetics to support the correlation between walking and OA. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between walking and OA at the genetic level. Methods The publicly available Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) data were used, with inverse variance weighting (IVW, the random-effects model) as the main analysis method, whereas MR-Egger, Weighted median, Simple mode, and Weighted mode as the secondary analysis methods. In addition, Cochran's Q test, pleiotropy test, and MR-Egger intercept test were conducted to examine the heterogeneity and pleiotropy of the outcome. Results In the MR analysis, IVW results showed a negative correlation between types of physical activity in last 4 weeks: Walking for pleasure (not as a means of transport) and OA (KOA or HOA) (odds ratio (OR) = 0.3224, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.1261 to 0.8243), and the difference was of statistical significance (P = 0.0181). Moreover, IVW results also revealed a negative correlation between types of physical activity in last 4 weeks: Walking for pleasure (not as a means of transport) and KOA (OR = 0.1396, 95% CI: 0.0484 to 0.4026), and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.0003). However, IVW results did not demonstrate any statistical significance types of physical activity in last 4 weeks: Walking for pleasure (not as a means of transport) and HOA (OR = 1.2075, 95% CI: 0.1978 to 7.3727, P = 0.8381). Conclusion From genetic studies, types of physical activity in last 4 weeks: Walking for pleasure (not as a means of transport) is negatively correlated with knee osteoarthritis (KOA), but there is no clear evidence supporting its correlation with hip osteoarthritis (HOA).

The secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) in pathophysiology of non-communicable diseases: Evidence from experimental studies to clinical applications. Heliyon 2024; 10:e24550. [PMID: 38312697 PMCID: PMC10835312 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a worldwide health issue because of their prevalence, negative impacts on human welfare, and economic costs. Protease enzymes play important roles in viral and NCD diseases. Slowing disease progression by inhibiting proteases using small-molecule inhibitors or endogenous inhibitory peptides appears to be crucial. Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), an inflammatory serine protease inhibitor, maintains protease/antiprotease balance. SLPI is produced by host defense effector cells during inflammation to prevent proteolytic enzyme-induced tissue damage. The etiology of noncommunicable illnesses is linked to SLPI's immunomodulatory and tissue regeneration roles. Disease phases are associated with SLPI levels and activity changes in regional tissue and circulation. SLPI has been extensively evaluated in inflammation, but rarely in NCDs. Unfortunately, the thorough evaluation of SLPI's pathophysiological functions in NCDs in multiple research models has not been published elsewhere. In this review, data from PubMed from 2014 to 2023 was collected, analysed, and categorized into in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. According to the review, serine protease inhibitor (SLPI) activity control is linked to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and other illnesses. Overexpression of the SLPI gene and protein may be a viable diagnostic and therapeutic target for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). SLPI is also cytoprotective, making it a unique treatment. These findings suggest that future research should focus on these pathways using advanced methods, reliable biomarkers, and therapy approaches to assess susceptibility and illness progression. Implications from this review will help pave the way for a new therapeutic target and diagnosis marker for non-communicable diseases.

[PMID: 38245676 PMCID: PMC10800035 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-024-10015-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Genomic heterozygosity has been shown to confer a health advantage in humans and play a protective role in complex diseases. Given osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly polygenic disease, we set out to determine if an association exists between OA and genomic heterozygosity. RESULTS End-stage knee and hip OA patients and healthy controls were recruited from the Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) population. The Arthritis Research UK Osteoarthritis Genetics (arcOGEN) consortium database was utilized as a replication cohort. DNA was extracted from blood samples and genotyped. Individual rates of observed heterozygosity (HetRate) and heterozygosity excess (HetExcess) relative to the expected were mathematically derived, and standardized to a z-score. Logistic regression modeling was used to examine the association between OA and HetRate or HetExcess. A total of 559 knee and hip OA patients (mean age 66.5 years, body mass index (BMI) 33.7 kg/m2, and 55% females) and 118 healthy controls (mean age 56.4 years, BMI 29.5 kg/m2, and 59% female) were included in the NL cohort analysis. We found that OA had an inverse relationship with HetRate and HetExcess with odds ratios of 0.64 (95% CI: 0.45-0.91) and 0.65 (95% CI: 0.45-0.93) per standard deviation (SD), respectively. The arcOGEN data included 2,019 end-stage knee and hip OA patients and 2,029 healthy controls, validating our findings with HetRate and HetExcess odds ratios of 0.60 (95% CI: 0.56-0.64) and 0.44 (95% CI: 0.40-0.47) per SD, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our results are the first to clearly show evidence, from two separate cohorts, that reduced genomic heterozygosity confers a risk for the future development of OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and low-grade inflammatory disease associated with metabolism disorder and multiple cell death types in the synovial tissues. Sulfur metabolism has not been studied in OA. METHODS First, we calculated the single sample gene set enrichment analysis score of sulfur metabolism-associated annotations (i.e., cysteine metabolism process, regulation of sulfur metabolism process, and disulfidptosis) between healthy and synovial samples from patients with OA. Sulfur metabolism-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed in OA. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator COX regression were used to identify the sulfur metabolism-associated gene signature for diagnosing OA. Correlation and immune cell deconvolution analyses were used to explore the correlated functions and cell specificity of the signature gene, TM9SF2. TM9SF2's effect on the phagocytosis of macrophages M2 was analyzed by coculturing macrophages with IgG-coated beads or apoptotic Jurkat cells. RESULTS A diagnostic six gene signature (i.e., MTHFD1, PDK4, TM9SF2, POU4F1, HOXA2, NCKAP1) was identified based on the ten DEGs, validated using GSE12021 and GSE1919 datasets. TM9SF2 was upregulated in the synovial tissues of OA at both mRNA and protein levels. The relationship between TM9SF2 and several functional annotations, such as antigen processing and presentation, lysosome, phagosome, Fcγ-mediated phagocytosis, and tyrosine metabolism, was identified. TM9SF2 and macrophages M2 were significantly correlated. After silencing TM9SF2 in THP-1-derived macrophages M2, a significantly reduced phagocytosis and attenuated activation of PLC-γ1 were observed. CONCLUSION A sulfur metabolism-associated six-gene signature for OA diagnosis was constructed and upregulation of the phagocytosis-associated gene, TM9SF2, was identified. The findings are expected to deepen our understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying OA development and be used as potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite existing extensive literature, a comprehensive and clinically relevant classification system for osteoarthritis (OA) has yet to be established. In this study, we aimed to further characterize four knee OA (KOA) inflammatory phenotypes (KOIP) recently proposed by our group, by identifying the inflammatory factors associated with KOA severity and progression in a phenotype-specific manner. METHODS We performed an analysis within each of the previously defined four KOIP groups, to assess the association between KOA severity and progression and a panel of 13 cytokines evaluated in the plasma and synovial fluid of our cohort's patients. The cohort included 168 symptomatic female KOA patients with persistent joint effusion. RESULTS Overall, our analyses showed that associations with KOA outcomes were of higher magnitude within the KOIP groups than for the overall patient series (all p-values < 1.30e-16) and that several of the cytokines showed a KOIP-specific behaviour regarding their associations with KOA outcomes. CONCLUSION Our study adds further evidence supporting KOA as a multifaceted syndrome composed of multiple phenotypes with differing pathophysiological pathways, providing an explanation for inconsistencies between previous studies focussed on the role of cytokines in OA and the lack of translational results to date. Our findings also highlight the potential clinical benefits of accurately phenotyping KOA patients, including improved patient stratification, tailored therapies, and the discovery of novel treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating condition that leads to functional limitations. Self-reported questionnaires and performance-based tests are tools commonly used for measuring physical function. OBJECTIVES (1) To evaluate the impact of end-stage knee OA on functional outcomes and examine the association between self-reported and performance-based measures of function in patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis awaiting total knee arthroplasty (2) To explore the interrelationships among pain, strength, and overall physical function in this patient population. METHODS In this cross-sectional analysis, 33 patients with end-stage knee OA were recruited and completed the knee Outcome Survey-Activities of Daily Living Scale (KOS-ADLS) and executed performance-based tests including the Timed Up and Go, the 30-second chair stand test, and the Stair Climbing Test. Knee pain, and isometric hip and knee strength were evaluated. RESULTS Patients perceived deficits in their physical functionwith a score of 35/100 on the KOS-ADLS and demonstrated functional limitations in all performed tasks. KOS-ADLs was weakly associated with TUG and 30s-CST (r=-0.301, p= 0.047, and r= 0.39, p= 0.014. respectively). Knee pain was linked with the KOS-ADL score and GRS score (r=-0.406, p= 0.010; r=-0.343, p= 0.027; respectively), while the strength of the affected side was correlated with the performed (p=< 0.001) and reported function outcomes (p= 0.007). CONCLUSION Participants exhibit declines in both perceived and executed functional abilities. Self-reported and performance-based functional measures are weakly correlated within our study group, highlighting the importance of incorporating both measures in clinical practice for a comprehensive evaluation of physical function. Pain was linked to subjective aspect of physical function, while strength was connected to perceived and performed functional capacity. Implementing a tailored rehabilitation program targeting muscle weakness and pain holds the potential to mitigate functional decline in individuals awaiting total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by progressive cartilage degeneration and absence of curative therapies. Therefore, more efficient therapies are compellingly needed. Both mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) and Icariin (ICA) are promising for repair of cartilage defect. This study proposes that ICA may be combined to potentiate the cartilage repair capacity of MSC-EVs. MATERIALS AND METHODS MSC-EVs were isolated from sodium alginate (SA) and hyaluronic acid (HA) composite hydrogel (SA-HA) cell spheroid culture. EVs and ICA were combined in SA-HA hydrogel to test therapeutic efficacy on cartilage defect in vivo. RESULTS EVs and ICA were synergistic for promoting both proliferation and migration of MSCs and inflammatory chondrocytes. The combination therapy led to strikingly enhanced repair on cartilage defect in rats, with mechanisms involved in the concomitant modulation of both cartilage degradation and synthesis makers. CONCLUSION The MSC-EVs-ICA/SA-HA hydrogel potentially constitutes a novel therapy for cartilage defect in OA.

However, it is still challenging to simultaneously achieve accurate joint motion monitoring and on-demand thermotherapy. Herein, core-sheath sensing yarns (CSSYs) is proposed and fabricated for excellent electrical and photothermal heating, which consists of carbon black (CB)-coated nylon (sheath layer), silver-plated nylon and elastic spandex yarns (core layer). The CSSYs demonstrates great joule heating performance, which reaches 75 °C at 2 V applied voltage. The good thermal management performance can be well maintained when weaving these yarns into bifunctional smart textile. Further, the optimized double-ply CSSYs (DPCSSYs) with helically twisted structure possess several appealing sensing performance, including preferable strain sensitivity (0.854), excellent linearity (0.962), and superior durability (over 5000 cycles). The as-woven bifunctional smart textile can provide instant and convenient thermotherapy to the injured joints, and simultaneously monitor the injury and recovery conditions of the joint. Therefore, the designed bifunctional smart textile can provide a promising route for developing next-generation healthcare smart textile.

Bone Healing and Clinical Outcome Following Medial Opening-wedge High Tibial Osteotomy Using Wedge-Shaped Cancellous Allograft. Orthop Surg 2024; 16:86-93. [PMID: 38014470 PMCID: PMC10782265 DOI: 10.1111/os.13939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) is considered to be an effective treatment for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (KOA) of isolated the medial compartment with varus alignment of the lower extremity. However, the choice of material to fill the void remains controversial. This study aims to evaluate the bone union of the osteotomy gap using a novel wedge-shaped cancellous allograft after MOWHTO and its effect on clinical outcomes. METHODS All patients who underwent MOWHTO using a novel wedge-shaped cancellous allograft combined with TomoFix locking compression plate (LCP) fixation between January 2016 and July 2020 were enrolled. The radiographic parameters including hip-knee-ankle angle (HKAA), medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), femorotibial angle (FTA) and posterior tibial slope angle (PTSA) were measured between pre-operative and post-operative radiographs. Knee Society score (KSS) and range of motion (ROM) were assessed preoperatively and at last follow-up. Patients included in this study were divided into two groups according to the correction angle: small correction group (< 10°; SC group) and large correction group (≥ 10°; LC group). The modified Radiographic Union score for tibial fractures (mRUST) was used to assess the difference in bone healing between the two groups at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up. A paired student's t test was conducted for comparison of differences of the relevant data pre-operatively and post-operatively. RESULTS A total of 82 patients (88 knees) were included in this study. The HKAA, MPTA, FTA and PTSA increased from -6.4° ± 3.0°, 85.1° ± 2.6°, 180.1° ± 3.2° and 7.7° ± 4.4° preoperatively to 1.2° ± 4.3° (p < 0.001), 94.4° ± 3.3° (p < 0.001), 171.0° ± 2.8° and 11.8° ± 5.8° (p < 0.001) immediately postoperatively, respectively. However, no significant statistic difference was found in above-mentioned parameters at last follow-up compared to immediate postoperative data (p > 0.05). All patients in this study achieved good bone healing at the final follow-up and no significant differences in mRUST scores were seen between the SC group and LC group. The KSS-Knee score and KSS-Function score improved significantly from 55.4 ± 3.7 and 63.3 ± 4.6 preoperatively to 86.4 ± 2.8 (p < 0.001) and 89.6 ± 2.9 (p < 0.001) at last follow-up, respectively. Nevertheless, there was no significant difference in ROM between pre-operation and last follow-up (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION For MOWHTO, the wedge-shaped cancellous allograft was a reliable choice for providing good bone healing and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Deregulated inflammations induced by various factors are one of the most common diseases in people's daily life, while severe inflammation can even lead to death. Thus, the efficient treatment of inflammation has always been the hot topic in the research of medicine. In the past decades, as a potential biomaterial, stimuli-responsive hydrogels have been a focus of attention for the inflammation treatment due to their excellent biocompatibility and design flexibility. Recently, thanks to the rapid development of nanotechnology and material science, more and more efforts have been made to develop safer, more personal and more effective hydrogels for the therapy of some frequent but tough inflammations such as sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, periodontitis, and ulcerative colitis. Herein, from recent studies and articles, the conventional and emerging hydrogels in the delivery of anti-inflammatory drugs and the therapy for various inflammations are summarized. And their prospects of clinical translation and future development are also discussed in further detail.

Abstract
Objective Osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with cardiovascular disease and represents a persistent economic and physical burden on patients in the United States. This study evaluated the mediating effect of dietary live microbe intake on the association between cardiovascular health [based on Life's Essential 8 (LE8) scores] and osteoarthritis (OA) in adults. Methods This cross-sectional study included data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999-2019 (from patients aged ≥20 years). LE8 scores (0-100) were measured according to the American Heart Association definition and categorized as low (0-49), moderate (50-79), or high (80-100). OA disease status was assessed using self-reported data from patients. The relationships were evaluated using multivariate logistic and restricted cubic spline models. Mediation analysis was used to evaluate the mediating effect of dietary live microbe intake on the association between LE8 and OA risk. Results The study included 23,213 participants aged ≥20 years. After adjusting for latent confounders, higher LE8 scores were found to be associated with a lower incidence of OA. The odds ratios (with 95% confidence intervals) for low, moderate, and high OA risk were 0.81 (0.69, 0.96) and 0.55 (0.44, 0.69), respectively; a non-linear dose-response relationship was observed (P-nonlinear = 0.012). Health behavior and health factor scores showed a similar pattern of correlation with OA risk. Low live microbe intake mediated the association between LE8, health behavior, and health factor scores with OA risk and did not appear to reduce OA risk. Conclusion Our findings suggest that although higher LE8 scores reduce the risk of developing OA, low live microbe intake may reduce the protective effect of higher scores. It is, therefore, essential to emphasize adherence to a lifestyle that confers high LE8 scores. Individuals should also be advised to reduce the intake of foods with low live microbe content.

The Complex Interplay between the Gut Microbiome and Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review on Potential Correlations and Therapeutic Approaches. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 25:143. [PMID: 38203314 PMCID: PMC10778637 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25010143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The objective of this review is to systematically analyze the potential correlation between gut microbiota and osteoarthritis (OA) as well as to evaluate the feasibility of microbiota-targeted therapies for treating OA. Studies conducted from October 2013 to October 2023 were identified via a search on electronic databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, following established PRISMA statement standards. Two reviewers independently screened, assessed, and extracted relevant data, and then they graded the studies using the ROBINS I tool for non-randomized interventions studies and SYRCLE's risk-of-bias tool for animal studies. A search through 370 studies yielded 38 studies (24 preclinical and 14 clinical) that were included. In vivo research has predominantly concentrated on modifying the gut microbiota microenvironment, using dietary supplements, probiotics, and prebiotics to modify the OA status. Lactobacilli are the most thoroughly examined with Lactobacillus acidophilus found to effectively reduce cartilage damage, inflammatory factors, and pain. Additionally, Lactobacillus M5 inhibits the development of OA by preventing high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and protecting cartilage from damage. Although there are limited clinical studies, certain compositions of intestinal microbiota may be associated with onset and progression of OA, while others are linked to pain reduction in OA patients. Based on preclinical studies, there is evidence to suggest that the gut microbiota could play a significant role in the development and progression of OA. However, due to the scarcity of clinical studies, the exact mechanism linking the gut microbiota and OA remains unclear. Further research is necessary to evaluate specific gut microbiota compositions, potential pathogens, and their corresponding signaling pathways that contribute to the onset and progression of OA. This will help to validate the potential of targeting gut microbiota for treating OA patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Synovial inflammation, which precedes other pathological changes in osteoarthritis (OA), is primarily initiated by activation and M1 polarization of macrophages. While macrophages play a pivotal role in the inflammatory process of OA, the mechanisms underlying their activation and polarization remain incompletely elucidated. This study aims to investigate the role of NOD2 as a reciprocal modulator of HMGB1/TLR4 signaling in macrophage activation and polarization during OA pathogenesis. DESIGN We examined NOD2 expression in the synovium and determined the impact of NOD2 on macrophage activation and polarization by knockdown and overexpression models in vitro. Paracrine effect of macrophages on fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) and chondrocytes was evaluated under conditions of NOD2 overexpression. Additionally, the in vivo effect of NOD2 was assessed using collagenase VII induced OA model in mice. RESULTS Expression of NOD2 was elevated in osteoarthritic synovium. In vitro experiments demonstrated that NOD2 serves as a negative regulator of HMGB1/TLR4 signaling pathway. Furthermore, NOD2 overexpression hampered the inflammatory paracrine effect of macrophages on FLS and chondrocytes. In vivo experiments revealed that NOD2 overexpression mitigated OA in mice. CONCLUSIONS Supported by convincing evidence on the inhibitory role of NOD2 in modulating the activation and M1 polarization of synovial macrophages, this study provided novel insights into the involvement of innate immunity in OA pathogenesis and highlighted NOD2 as a potential target for the prevention and treatment of OA.

Abstract
The induction of disease states in animal models is an essential step in new drug discovery procedures. In this study, osteoarthritis (OA) was induced in a mouse model using a polypeptide thermogel-based sustained drug release system. Hydrophilic lactobionic acids and hydrophobic n-butyric acids were grafted onto ε-poly(l-lysine) to prepare a thermogelling polymer of ε-poly(l-lysine) grafted with lactobionic acid and butyric acid (PLLB). The gel modulus of PLLB is about 1000 Pa at 37 °C. Collagenase, which causes OA, was slowly released from the PLLB thermogel over two weeks. The PLLB formulation containing collagenases ranging from 1-10 units was intra-articularly injected into the knee of mice. OA mouse models with Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) grades of 3-6 were developed depending on the amounts of collagenase incorporated in the PLLB thermogel formulation. This study suggests that thermogel-based drug release formulations can be a precise tool for developing animal disease models in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, characterized by iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation, is a form of iron-driven cell death. Mitophagy is a type of selective autophagy, where degradation of damaged mitochondria is the key mechanism for maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. Additionally, Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a biological process that transports individual cytoplasmic proteins to lysosomes for degradation through companion molecules such as heat shock proteins. Research has demonstrated the involvement of ferroptosis, mitophagy, and CMA in the pathological progression of Osteoarthritis (OA). Furthermore, research has indicated a significant correlation between alterations in the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS), adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) and the occurrence of OA, particularly in relation to ferroptosis and mitophagy. In light of these findings, our study aims to assess the regulatory functions of ferroptosis and mitophagy/CMA in the pathogenesis of OA. Additionally, we propose a mechanism of crosstalk between ferroptosis and mitophagy, while also examining potential pharmacological interventions for targeted therapy in OA. Ultimately, our research endeavors to offer novel insights and directions for the prevention and treatment of OA.

Abstract
Curcuma longa extract and its marker curcuminoids have potential use in inflammatory conditions. However, curcuminoids solubility and bioavailability are major hindrances to their bioactivity. The current study investigated green extraction-based curcuminoids-enriched extract (CRE) prepared from C. longa and its cyclodextrin inclusion complexes, i.e., binary inclusion complexes (BC) and ternary inclusion complexes (TC), in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced mice for their comparative anti-arthritic efficacy. CRE, BC, and TC (2.5 and 5 mg/kg) with the standard drug diclofenac sodium (13.5 mg/kg) were orally administered to mice for 4 weeks. Variations in body weight, hematological and biochemical parameters, along with gene expression analysis of arthritis biomarkers, were studied in animals. The histopathological analysis and radiographic examination of joints were also performed. CRE, BC and TC treatment significantly restored the arthritic index, histopathology and body weight changes. The concentration of C-reactive protein, rheumatoid factor and other liver function parameters were significantly recovered by curcuminoids formulations. The pro-inflammatory cytokines (NF-κB, COX-2, IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α) gene expression was considerably (p < 0.001) downregulated, while on the other side, the anti-inflammatory genes IL-4 and IL-10 were upregulated by the use of CRE and its complexes. The concentration of antioxidant enzymes was considerably (P < 0.001) recovered by CRE, BC and TC with marked decrease in lipid peroxidation, erosion of bone, inflammation of joints and pannus formation in comparison to arthritic control animals. Therefore, it is concluded that green CRE and its cyclodextrin formulations with enhanced solubility could be considered as an applicable therapeutic choice to treat chronic polyarthritis.

[PMID: 37609061 PMCID: PMC10440563 DOI: 10.1016/j.ocarto.2023.100397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Revised: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose In OA studies, the focus often is on an index-joint; other affected joint sites are often overlooked. In this thumb-base OA study, we documented the frequency of symptomatic non-hand joint sites and investigated whether their count was associated with thumb-specific functional and patient-reported outcome measures. Design Patients seeking care for thumb-base OA (conservative or surgical) were included. A patient-completed questionnaire captured sociodemographic and health characteristics, symptomatic hand and non-hand joint sites, and outcome measures (thumb-base pain intensity, symptoms and disability (TASD) and upper-extremity disability/symptoms (quickDASH)). Grip and pinch strength were measured. Linear regressions examined the association between each outcome and symptomatic joint site count, adjusted for several covariates. Results The mean age of the 145 patients was 62 years, 72% were female. Mean symptomatic non-hand joint site count was 3.6. Ten percent reported only their hands as symptomatic; 30% reported 2-3 other symptomatic sites, and 49% reported 4+. From cross-sectional multivariable analyses, a higher symptomatic non-hand joint site count was associated with worse scores for all patient-reported outcomes and grip strength. Every unit increase in joint site count (49% had a 4+ count) was associated with a 2.1-3.3 unit increase (worse) in patient-reported outcome scores (all p < 0.02). Conclusions In this sample, nearly 80% of patients had 2+ symptomatic non-hand joint sites. These symptoms were associated with worse thumb- and hand-specific outcomes, suggesting a need for awareness of whole body OA burden, with implications for outcome score interpretations, study designs, and provision of care in thumb-base OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The pathogenesis of hand osteoarthritis (OA) remains unknown. Hyperuricaemia, which is related to inflammation, may play a role in hand OA, but evidence is lacking. In a large population-based study, we examined the association between hyperuricaemia and hand OA. METHODS Participants were from the Xiangya OA Study, a community-based observational study. Hyperuricaemia was defined as serum urate >416 µmol/L in men and >357 µmol/L in women. Radiographic hand OA (RHOA) was defined as presence of the modified Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥2 in any hand joint. Symptomatic hand OA (SHOA) was defined as presence of both self-reported symptoms and RHOA in the same hand. The associations of hyperuricaemia with RHOA or SHOA were examined using generalised estimating equations. RESULTS Among 3628 participants, the prevalence of RHOA was higher in participants with hyperuricaemia than those with normouricaemia (26.9% vs 20.9%), with an adjusted OR (aOR) of 1.34 (95% CI 1.11 to 1.61). The associations were consistent in men (aOR 1.33, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.74) and women (aOR 1.35, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.74). Hyperuricaemia was mainly associated with bilateral RHOA (aOR 1.54, 95% CI 1.18 to 2.01) but not unilateral RHOA (aOR 1.13, 95% CI 0.89 to 1.45). Prevalence of SHOA was higher, although statistically insignificant, in participants with hyperuricaemia (aOR 1.39, 95% CI 0.94 to 2.07). CONCLUSION In this population-based study, hyperuricaemia was associated with a higher prevalence of hand OA. Future prospective studies are required to investigate the temporal relationship. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04033757.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Shifting macrophages towards an anti-inflammatory state is key in treating osteoarthritis (OA) by reducing inflammation and tissue damage. However, the underlying mechanisms guiding this shift remain largely undefined. STUB1, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, known for its regulatory role in macrophage polarization. This study aims to explore the function and underlying action mechanisms of STUB1 in OA. METHODS An in vivo OA model was established in rats. Hematoxylin-Eosin and safranin O-fast green staining were performed to reveal the hispathological injuries in knee-joint tissues. Immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry were performed to detect the distribution of M1 and M2 macrophages. The inflammatory response (TNF-α and IL-6 levels) was evaluated by ELISA. In vitro, the interaction between STUB1 and NFR2 was determined by CO-IP and pull-down assays. After treated with LPS (an in vitro model of OA), the viability and apoptosis of chondrocytes were measured by CCK-8 and flow cytometry, respectively. RESULTS Silencing STUB1 alleviated OA in rats, as indicated by reduced subchondral bone thickness, knee synovitis score, histopathological damages, and inflammatory response. STUB1 silencing also decreased M1 macrophages and increased M2 macrophages in both in vivo and in vitro settings. NRF2 was identified as a target of STUB1, with STUB1 mediating its ubiquitination. Silencing NRF2 reversed the effects of STUB1 silencing on inducing M2 macrophage polarization. Furthermore, silencing STUB1 upregulated NRF2 expression in LPS-treated chondrocytes, promoting cell viability and inhibiting apoptosis. CONCLUSION Silencing STUB1 induces M2 macrophage polarization by inhibiting NRF2 ubiquitination, thereby contributing to the mitigation of OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive disease that causes pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the affected joints. Currently, there are no effective treatments for preventing the worst outcomes, such as synovitis or cartilage degradation. Sarcodia montagneana and Corbicula fluminea are common species found in the ocean or in freshwater areas. Their extracts are demonstrated to possess both antioxidative and anti-inflammatory functions. This study aimed to investigate the synergistic effects of the extracts of Sarcodia montagneana (SME) and Corbicula fluminea (FCE) on reducing local and systemic inflammation, as well as their efficacy in OA symptom relief. An in vitro monocytic LPS-treated THP-1 cell model and in vivo MIA-induced mouse OA model were applied, and the results showed that the combinatory usage of SME and FCE effectively suppressed IFN-γ and TNF-α production when THP-1 cells were treated with LPS. SME and FCE also significantly decreased the systemic TNF-α level and joint swelling and prevented the loss of proteoglycan in the cartilage within the joints of OA mice. The data shown here provide a potential solution for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
The mechanical properties of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee have been highlighted, but its role in the regulation of the joint microenvironment remains unclear, especially in the progression of Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA). Here, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (scATAC-seq) data were integrated to reveal the transcriptional and epigenomic landscape of ACL in normal and OA states. We identified a novel subpopulation of fibroblasts in ACL, which provides new insights into the role of the ACL in knee homeostasis and disease. Degeneration of the ACL during OA mechanically alters the knee joint homeostasis and influences the microenvironment by regulating inflammatory- and osteogenic-related factors, thereby contributing to the progression of KOA. Additionally, the specific mechanism by which these Inflammation-associated Fibroblasts (IAFs) regulate KOA progression was uncovered, providing new foundation for the development of targeted treatments for KOA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to explore whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can delay and reduce the incidence of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and improve clinical symptoms in patients with inflammatory phenotype knee osteoarthritis (I-KOA). METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study with a 5-year follow up. We selected patients with I-KOA based on typical magnetic resonance imaging findings. Patients were divided into two groups: I-KOA and KOA. Subsequently, the patients underwent treatment for five consecutive years, receiving three fortnightly injections per year, totalling 15 injections per patient. The Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade and minimum joint space width (MJSW) were used to evaluate KOA progression. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, Knee Society score (KSS), and the minimal clinically important difference were used to evaluate the improvement of KOA symptoms. The incidence and timing of TKA were statistically analysed. RESULTS In total, 420 patients were included (I-KOA, n = 211; KOA, n = 209). No significant difference existed between both groups in the changes in the MJSW and KL grade at each time point. The I-KOA group exhibited significantly lower TKA incidence and delayed time to TKA. The WOMAC, KSS, and KSS function scores were significantly better in the I-KOA group than in the KOA group at each time point after treatment (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The results of this retrospective study suggest that, compared with conventional KOA, intra-articular injection of PRP has better efficacy in patients with I-KOA but does not delay disease progression.

Abstract
To evaluate the relation of psychosocial parameters and type D personality with central sensitization in knee osteoarthritis (OA). The study included 126 patients with knee OA according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria. Sociodemographic variables (age, gender, education, marital status, annual income), alcohol consumption/smoking, body mass index, comorbidities, and duration of symptoms were noted. Radiographic evaluation was performed according to the Kellgren-Lawrence grading system. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index was used for clinical evaluation. Type D personality, negative affectivity, and social inhibition were evaluated using the type D Scale-14 (DS14). Central sensitization was assessed by the central sensitization inventory (CSI), while psychological status, quality of life, and sleep were assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), an abbreviated version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument (WHOQOL-BREF), and the Jenkins Sleep Evaluation Scale (JSS), respectively. The effect of type D personality on study parameters including central sensitization, as well as the risk factors for the development of central sensitization were assessed by regression analyses. Patients with type D personality had higher CSI, HADS scores and lower WHOQOL-BREF scores for psychological health, social relationship, environment and general quality of life. Linear regression analysis showed that the DS14 total score has a significant positive relation with CSI (β = 0.4, p < 0.05), HADS-depression (β = 0.4, p < 0.05), HADS-anxiety (β = 0.5, p < 0.05), and HADS-total scores (β = 0.5, p < 0.05). It also had a significant negative effect on all domains of WHOQOL-BREF (p < 0.05 for all). Logistic regression analysis revealed that JSS [Odds ratio (OR) 0.83, 95% CI 0.73-0.94; p = 0.003] and negative affectivity (OR 0.78, 95% CI 0.65-0.94; p = 0.008) were independent risk factors for the development of central sensitization in knee OA. Type D personality has an impact on quality of life, central sensitization, and psychological health, with negative affectivity and sleep impairment serving as independent risk factors for central sensitization. While managing patients with knee OA, these intimate relationships should be taken into consideration.

Abstract
The present study examined potential association between the daily intake and serum levels of copper (Cu), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn) and the risk of osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Daily intake and serum concentrations of Cu, Zn, and Se in 4200 adults from the 2011-2016 NHANES were examined and divided into normal, OA patients, and RA patients. The level of serum Cu was higher in OA and RA than in non-arthritis, while the levels of serum Se and Zn were no different in the three groups. Serum Se and Zn, but not Cu, concentrations were highly correlated with daily intake. Cu, Se, and Zn intake was independently associated with increased risk of OA, but not with RA. And there was a trend for higher odds of OA among participants in the higher Cu, Se, and Zn intake. Future large longitudinal studies are warranted to confirm these findings.
