Abstract
Targeting cartilage is a promising strategy for the treatment of osteoarthritis, and various delivery vehicles were developed to assist the therapeutic agents into cartilage. However, the underlying biomechanisms and potential bioactivities remain oversimplified. Inspired by oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis, we firstly testified the antioxidant capacity of a synthetic small molecule compound, oltipraz (OL), to the chondrocytes treated by IL-1β. Then a functional reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsive nanocarrier, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) modified with methoxy polyethylene glycol-thioketal, was constructed. In vitro biomolecular results showed that compared with OL alone, MSN-OL could significantly activate Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, which exhibited better ROS-scavenging proficiency and greater anti-apoptotic ability to protect mitochondrial membrane potential of chondrocytes. Further bioinformatics analysis revealed that MSN-OL suppressed clusters of genes associated with extracellular matrix organization, cell apoptosis and cellular response to oxidative stress. Animal experiments further confirmed the great cartilage-protecting ability of MSN-OL through upregulating the expression of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway without obvious toxicity. In summary, this study provided a delivery system through ROS-responsive regulation of the therapeutic agents into chondrocytes of the cartilage, and confirmed the exact biological mechanisms of this innovative strategy.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disease characterized by cartilage loss and accounts for a major source of pain and disability worldwide. However, effective strategies for cartilage repair are lacking, and patients with advanced OA usually need joint replacement. Better comprehending OA pathogenesis may lead to transformative therapeutics. Recently studies have reported that exosomes act as a new means of cell-to-cell communication by delivering multiple bioactive molecules to create a particular microenvironment that tunes cartilage behavior. Specifically, exosome cargos, such as noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) and proteins, play a crucial role in OA progression by regulating the proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy, and inflammatory response of joint cells, rendering them promising candidates for OA monitoring and treatment. This review systematically summarizes the current insight regarding the biogenesis and function of exosomes and their potential as therapeutic tools targeting cell-to-cell communication in OA, suggesting new realms to improve OA management.

Abstract
Nanozymes are widely applied for treating various major diseases, including neurological diseases and tumors. However, the biodegradability of nanozymes remains a great challenge, which hinders their further clinical translation. Based on the microenvironment of osteoarthritis (OA), a representative pH-responsive biodegradable hollow-structured manganese Prussian blue nanozyme (HMPBzyme) is designed and applied for treatment of OA. HMPBzyme with good pH-responsive biodegradability, biocompatibility, and multi-enzyme activities is constructed by bovine serum albumin bubbles as a template-mediated biomineralization strategy. HMPBzyme suppresses hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression and decreases reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in the in vitro experiment. Furthermore, HMPBzyme markedly suppresses the expression of ROS and alleviates the degeneration of cartilage in OA rat models. The results indicate that the biodegradable HMPBzyme inhibits oxidative damage and relieves hypoxia synergistically to suppress inflammation and promote the anabolism of cartilage extracellular matrix by protecting mitochondrial function and down-regulating the expression of HIF-1α, which modulates the phenotypic conversion of macrophages from pro-inflammatory M1 subtype to anti-inflammatory M2 subtype for OA treatment. This research lays a solid foundation for the design, construction, and biomedical application of biodegradable nanozymes and promotes the application of nanozymes in biomedicine.

A Photochemical Crosslinking Approach to Enhance Resistance to Mechanical Wear and Biochemical Degradation of Articular Cartilage. Cartilage 2022; 13:19476035221093064.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate photochemical crosslinking using Al(III) phthalocyanine chloride tetrasulfonic acid (CASPc) and light with a wavelength of 670 nm as a potential therapy to strengthen articular cartilage and prevent tissue degradation. DESIGN Changes in viscoelastic properties with indentation were used to identify 2 crosslinking protocols for further testing. Crosslinked cartilage was subjected to an in vitro, accelerated wear test. The ability of the crosslinked tissue to resist biochemical degradation via collagenase was also measured. To better understand how photochemical crosslinking with CASPc varies through the depth of the tissue, the distribution of photo-initiator and penetration of light through the tissue depth was characterized. Finally, the effect of CASPc on chondrocyte viability and of co-treatment with an antioxidant was evaluated. RESULTS The equilibrium modulus was the most sensitive viscoelastic measure of crosslinking. Crosslinking decreased both mechanical wear and collagenase digestion compared with control cartilage. These beneficial effects were realized despite the fact that crosslinking appeared to be localized to a region near the articular surface. In addition, chondrocyte viability was maintained in crosslinked tissue treated with antioxidants. CONCLUSION These results suggest that photochemical crosslinking with CASPc and 670 nm light holds promise as a potential therapy to prevent cartilage degeneration by protecting cartilage from mechanical wear and biochemical degradation. Limitations were also evident, however, as an antioxidant treatment was necessary to maintain chondrocyte viability in crosslinked tissue.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease characterized by degeneration of articular cartilage and causes severe joint pain, physical disability, and impaired quality of life. Recently, it was found that mitochondria not only act as a powerhouse of cells that provide energy for cellular metabolism, but are also involved in crucial pathways responsible for maintaining chondrocyte physiology. Therefore, a growing amount of evidence emphasizes that impairment of mitochondrial function is associated with OA pathogenesis; however, the exact mechanism is not well known. Moreover, the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)–Sirtuin (SIRT) signaling pathway, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), and microRNA (miRNA) are important for regulating the physiological and pathological processes of chondrocytes, indicating that these may be targets for OA treatment. In this review, we first focus on the importance of mitochondria metabolic dysregulation related to OA. Then, we show recent evidence on the AMPK-SIRT mediated pathway associated with OA pathogenesis and potential treatment options. Finally, we discuss current research into the effects of lncRNA and miRNA on OA progression or inhibition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint complaint resulting in pain, disability, and loss of quality of life. On the other hand, ginsenoside-Rb1 is a plant product derived from ginseng that possesses immune-regulation and anti-inflammatory activities. However, it has been reported that different rout of administration but hydrogel-based Ginsenoside-Rb1 in an OA rabbit model has not been investigated. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the potential effects of ginsenoside-Rb1 such as anti-arthritic activity in a rabbit knee OA model via NF- κB, PI3K/Akt, and P38/(MAPK) pathways. STUDY DESIGN In the current study, rabbit osteoarthritis was induced by hollow trephine on the femur trochlea and the hydrogel-based Ginsenoside-Rb1 sheets were inserted on the rabbit knee to assess the anti-arthritis activity of ginsenoside-Rb1 which is sustained release. METHODS After the hydrogel-based Rb1 sheet insert on the rabbit knee, macroscopic and micro CT was performed for investigation of chondroprotective effect. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and apoptotic expression were assessed through Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR assay. In addition, the flow cytometry technique was used for the investigation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and histological changes were examined by HE, safranin O, and Masson trichrome staining method. Furthermore, the NF- κB, PI3K/Akt, and P38/(MAPK) pathways were investigated using Western blot analysis. RESULTS Macroscopic and micro CT investigation of hydrogel-Rb1 treatment showed a dose-dependent chondroprotective effect. Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR revealed that expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and apoptotic markers TNF-α, caspase-3, and bax are down-regulated in a dose-dependent fashion following implantation of hydrogel-Rb. Higher levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were observed in the OA group. In histopathological investigation of hydrogel-Rb1 exhibited larger amounts of chondro cells, glycosaminoglycan's, and collagen compared to the defect group. Furthermore, the NF- κB, PI3K/Akt, and P38/(MAPK) pathways were downregulated by hydrogel-Rb1 while the disease model showed upstream. In the meantime, MMP expression level was considerably down-regulated. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate the protective effect of ginsenoside-Rb1 against OA pathogenesis through prevention of apoptosis with suppression of ROS production and activation of NF-κB signaling through downregulation of the MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), characterized by cartilage erosion, synovium inflammation, and subchondral bone remodeling, is a common joint degenerative disease worldwide. OA pathogenesis is regulated by multiple predisposing factors, including imbalanced matrix metabolism, aberrant inflammatory response, and excessive oxidative stress. Moreover, melatonin has been implicated in development of several degenerative disorders owing to its potent biological functions. With regards to OA, melatonin reportedly promotes synthesis of cartilage matrix, inhibition of chondrocyte apoptosis, attenuation of inflammatory response, and suppression of matrix degradation by regulating the TGF-β, MAPK, or NF-κB signaling pathways. Notably, melatonin has been associated with amelioration of oxidative damage by restoring the OA-impaired intracellular antioxidant defense system in articular cartilage. Findings from preliminary application of melatonin or melatonin-loaded biomaterials in animal models have affirmed its potential anti-arthritic effects. Herein, we summarize the anti-arthritic effects of melatonin on OA cartilage and demonstrate that melatonin has potential therapeutic efficacy in treating OA.

Abstract
Objective This study assessed the anti-arthritic effect and protection of Gedunin (GDN) on joint tissues and revealed the possible mechanism in suppressing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods LPS-induced macrophages and TNF-α-stimulated synovial fibroblasts (MH7A) or IL-1β-stimulated primary rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs) were used to evaluate the antiinflammatory effect of GDN. In addition, CIA-induced arthritis was employed here to evaluate the anti-arthritic effect. MTT and BRDU assays were utilized to evaluate the cell viability and proliferation, Q-PCR was conducted to detect the mRNA expression of cytokines, FACS was adopted to monitor ROS production, while western blotting (WB) and siRNA interference were applied in confirming the anti-arthritic effects of GDN via the Nrf2 signaling. Results. In vitro, cell viability was inhibited in macrophages and MH7A cells, but not in RASFs; but the proliferation of RASFs was significantly suppressed in time- and dose-dependent manners. GDN suppressed cytokine levels in LPS-stimulated macrophages and TNF-α-stimulated MH7A cells or RASFs. GDN suppressed ROS expression. Furthermore, GDN treatment notably dose-dependently decreased the mRNA and protein expression of iNOS in LPS-induced macrophages. sip62 interference results showed that GDN cause the less expression of HO-1 and Keap1 and also fail to inhibit cytokines after sip62 interference. In vivo, GDN effectively inhibited paw swelling, arthritis score, and arthritis incidence and cytokines. Conclusions Our study suggested that GDN exhibited strong antagonistic effect on arthritis both in vitro and in vivo via activation of Nrf2 signaling. Our work will provide a promising therapeutic strategy for RA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent type of degenerative joint disease, and its pathological progression is highly associated with oxidative stress. Natural antioxidants can attenuate oxidative stress and chondrocyte injury, suggesting that antioxidants have potential applications in the management of OA. Ellagic acid (EA), a natural polyphenol derived from fruits or nuts, exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in diseases related to oxidative stress. Herein, we investigated the effects of EA on interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced oxidative stress and degeneration in C28/I2 human chondrocytes. EA efficiently suppressed IL-1β-induced oxidative stress and ameliorated oxidative stress-induced dysfunction of chondrocytes, as indicated by the promotion of cartilage matrix secretion. Moreover, EA remarkably suppressed cell apoptosis and senescence, and reduced the expression of proinflammatory factors and metalloproteinases, suggesting that EA could alleviate chondrocyte injury under oxidative stress. Mechanistically, EA upregulated the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) as well as its downstream targets NADPH quinone oxidoreductase 1 and heme oxygenase-1. ML385, a specific Keap1/Nrf2 pathway inhibitor, blocked the antioxidant and chondroprotective effects of EA. Our findings demonstrated that EA could attenuate oxidative stress and exert protective effects on chondrocytes by upregulating the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is crucial to prevent deterioration and improve the prognosis of disease outcome. However, current clinical diagnostic methods are unable to achieve accurate and early detection of RA. In this work, we designed an activatable organic nanoprobe (ONP-CySe) capable of specific and real-time imaging of ClO- in early RA. ONP-CySe comprises a near-infrared fluorescent selenomorpholine-caged cyanine dye as the sensing component and an amphiphilic triblock copolymer triphenyl phosphine derivative for mitochondria targeting. Our results showed that ONP-CySe successfully detected elevated levels of ClO- in the mitochondria of macrophages with high selectivity, low limit of detection (31.5 nM), excellent photostability, and good biocompatibility. Furthermore, ONP-CySe can also be used to monitor anti-inflammatory responses and efficacies of RA therapeutics, such as selenocysteine and methotrexate, in BALB/c mouse models. Therefore, our research proposes a universal molecular design strategy for the detection of ClO-, which holds potential for early diagnosis and drug screening for RA.

Int Immunopharmacol 2022; 107:108557. [PMID: 35247778 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2022.108557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2021] [Revised: 01/06/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an chronic autoimmune disease and characterized by high incidence. However, there is no effective therapies for RA. Therefore, it is urgent to discover new drugs for RA treatment. Nuclear factor erythroid 2 (NF-E2)-related factor (Nrf2) can effectively protect against arthritic inflammatory diseases through diverse stages, such as regulating redox balance, detoxification, metabolism and inflammation. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF), targets the Nrf2 pathway, was approved by FDA for the clinical treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), which is another autoimmune disease. The latest report shown that DMF ameliorates complete Freund's adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats through activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. Hence, Nrf2 serves as an important target for inflammation interference and oxidative stress of macrophages and RASFs in RA; therefore, it can be adopted as an effective therapeutic approach in the future. Rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs) play crucial roles in the RA pathogenesis. Our results revealed that 7-deacetyl-gedunin (7-d-GDN), derived from fruits of Toona sinensis (A. Juss.) Roem, significantly inhibited RASFs proliferation in dose- and time- dependent manners and inhibited cell viability in MH7A cells, which is a kind of immortal cell line from joints of patients with RA. Additionally, 7-d-GDN remarkably down-regulated MMP-1/3/9/13 in RASFs, IL-6 and IL-33 in MH7A cells. Besides, 7-d-GDN sharply inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) in RASFs. Further mechanistic study demonstrated that 7-d-GDN induced heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone 1(NQO1), which all participated in suppressing of oxidative stress. Additionally, 7-d-GDN increased sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1, p62), causing down-regulating Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), which resulting in NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) cytoplasm accumulation and subsequently translocation into nucleus. Collectively, 7-d-GDN exerts the anti-inflammatory effect through regulating anti-oxidative enzymes via p62/ Nrf2/ARE signaling. All suggest that the potential of 7-d-GDN in suppression of inflammation, especially antagonizing RA severity. Our works support for drugs discovery in RA treatment.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23042342.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine the role of CD70, which is highly expressed on fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS), in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. FLS isolated from RA (n = 14) and osteoarthritis (OA, n = 4) patients were stimulated with recombinant interleukin-17 (IL-17; 5 ng/mL) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α; 5 ng/mL) for 24 h. Expression of CD70, CD27/soluble CD27 (sCD27), and hypoxia-inducible factor-2 alpha (HIF-2α) was analyzed by RT-qPCR, flow cytometry, and ELISA assays, respectively. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) expression and cell migration were also examined. The HIF-2α inhibitor PT-2385 and CD70 inhibitor BU69 were used to specifically suppress these pathways. Stimulation with IL-17 and TNF-α significantly induced CD70 expression in RA FLS. Although the synovial fluids from patients with RA contained high levels of sCD27, surface expression of CD27, a ligand of CD70, was rarely detected in RA FLS. Cytokine-induced CD70 expression was significantly decreased following antioxidant treatment. Following HIF-2α inhibition, RA FLS had decreased expression of CD70 and ROS levels. Migration of RA FLS was also inhibited by inhibition of CD70 or HIF-2α. The surface expression of CD70 is regulated by HIF-2α and ROS levels and is a key contributor to cytokine-enhanced migration in RA FLS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to identify the hub genes and pathways of genes related to oxidative stress of cartilage in osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH), and to predict the transcription factors of the hub genes. METHODS The GSE74089 was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, including 4 necrotic tissues and 4 normal tissues, and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by limma package in R language. Simultaneously, we searched for the genes related to oxidative stress in the Gene Ontology (GO) database. GO and signaling pathways analysis were performed using DAVID, Metascape, and GSEA. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the STRING database, and the Degree algorithm of Cytoscape software was used to screen for hub genes. Finally, the NetworkAnalyst web tool was used to find the hub genes' transcriptional factors (TFs). RESULTS In total, 440 oxidative stress-related genes were found in GSE74089 and GO database, and 88 of them were significantly differentially expressed. These genes were mainly involved in several signaling pathways, such as MAPK signaling pathway, PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway, FOXO signaling pathway. The top 10 hub genes were JUN, FOXO3, CASP3, JAK2, RELA, EZH2, ABL1, PTGS2, FBXW7, MCL1. Besides, TFAP2A, GATA2, SP1, and E2F1 may be the key regulatory factors of hub genes. CONCLUSIONS We identified some hub genes and signaling pathways associated with oxidative stress in ONFH through a series of bioinformatics analyses.

Abstract
Background To examine the potential therapeutic targets of Chinese medicine formula San-Miao-San (SMS) in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), we analyzed the active compounds of SMS and key targets of OA and investigated the interacting pathways using network pharmacological approaches and molecular docking analysis. Methods The active compounds of SMS and OA-related targets were searched and screened by TCMSP, DrugBank, Genecards, OMIM, DisGeNet, TTD, and PharmGKB databases. Venn analysis and PPI were performed for evaluating the interaction of the targets. The topological analysis and molecular docking were used to confirm the subnetworks and binding affinity between active compounds and key targets, respectively. The GO and KEGG functional enrichment analysis for all targets of each subnetwork were conducted. Results A total of 57 active compounds and 203 targets of SMS were identified by the TCMSP and DrugBank database, while 1791 OA-related targets were collected from the Genecards, OMIM, DisGeNet, TTD, and PharmGKB databases. By Venn analysis, 108 intersection targets between SMS targets and OA targets were obtained. Most of these intersecting targets involve quercetin, kaempferol, and wogonin. Moreover, intersecting targets identified by PPI analysis were introduced into Cytoscape plug-in CytoNCA for topological analysis. Hence, nine key targets of SMS for OA treatment were obtained. Furthermore, the potential binding conformations between active compounds and key targets were found through molecular docking analysis. According to the DAVID enrichment analysis, the main biological processes of SMS in the treatment of OA include oxidative stress, response to reactive oxygen species, and apoptotic signaling pathways. Finally, we found wogonin, the key compound in SMS, might play a pivotal role on Toll-like receptor, IL-17, TNF, osteoclast differentiation, and apoptosis signaling pathways through interacting with four key targets. Conclusions Therefore, this study elucidated the potential active compounds and key targets of SMS in the treatment of OA based on network pharmacology.

Nrf2/ARE Signaling Directly Regulates SOX9 to Potentially Alter Age-Dependent Cartilage Degeneration. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11020263.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is implicated in osteoarthritis, and nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway maintains redox homeostasis. We investigated whether Nrf2/ARE signaling controls SOX9. SOX9 expression in human C-28/I2 chondrocytes was measured by RT–qPCR after shRNA-mediated knockdown of Nrf2 or its antagonist the Kelch-like erythroid cell-derived protein with cap ‘‘n’’ collar homology-associated protein 1 (Keap1). To verify whether Nrf2 transcriptionally regulates SOX9, putative ARE-binding sites in the proximal SOX9 promoter region were inactivated, cloned into pGL3, and co-transfected with phRL–TK for dual-luciferase assays. SOX9 promoter activities without and with Nrf2-inducer methysticin were compared. Sox9 expression in articular chondrocytes was correlated to cartilage thickness and degeneration in wild-type (WT) and Nrf2-knockout mice. Nrf2-specific RNAi significantly decreased SOX9 expression, whereas Keap1-specific RNAi increased it. Putative ARE sites (ARE1, ARE2) were identified in the SOX9 promoter region. ARE2 mutagenesis significantly reduced SOX9 promoter activity, but ARE1 excision did not. Functional ARE2 site was essential for methysticin-mediated induction of SOX9 promoter activity. Young Nrf2-knockout mice revealed significantly lower Sox9-positive chondrocytes, and old Nrf2-knockout animals showed thinner cartilage and more cartilage degeneration. Our results suggest Nrf2 directly regulates SOX9 in articular cartilage, and Nrf2-loss can develop mild osteoarthritis at old age. Pharmacological Nrf2 induction may hold the potential to diminish age-dependent cartilage degeneration through improving SOX9 expression.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a severe, common chronic orthopaedic disorder characterised by a degradation of the articular cartilage with an incidence that increases over years. Despite the availability of various clinical options, none can stop the irreversible progression of the disease to definitely cure OA. Various mutations have been evidenced in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of cartilage cells (chondrocytes) in OA, leading to a dysfunction of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation processes that significantly contributes to OA cartilage degeneration. The mitochondrial genome, therefore, represents a central, attractive target for therapy in OA, especially using genome editing procedures. In this narrative review article, we present and discuss the current advances and breakthroughs in mitochondrial genome editing as a potential, novel treatment to overcome mtDNA-related disorders such as OA. While still in its infancy and despite a number of challenges that need to be addressed (barriers to effective and site-specific mtDNA editing and repair), such a strategy has strong value to treat human OA in the future, especially using the groundbreaking clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRIPSR)/CRISPR-associated 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) technology and mitochondrial transplantation approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Carotenoids are plant pigments found in many vegetables, functioning as antioxidants scavenging singlet molecular oxygen and peroxyl radicals. No longitudinal study exists on the relationship between carotenoids and knee osteoarthritis (KOA) development. We aimed to determine the incidence of KOA development for 10 years in community-dwelling people in Japan and assess its association with serum carotenoids. METHODS Data of 440 participants (174 men, 266 women) with health-screening records for at least 10 years were analysed. We defined KOA development as advancing from K/L grade 0/1 at the initial check-up to grade ≥2 in a unilateral knee during a 10-year follow-up period. Serum carotenoid levels were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. We used the Cox hazard model for multivariate analysis and investigated each carotenoid's impact on KOA development. RESULTS KOA developed in 33.4% of patients; the annual KOA development rate was significantly higher among women than among men (p < .01; 3.4% vs. 1.6%). Among the carotenoids measured, only retinol was associated with KOA development in women using multivariable analysis. KOA development was not associated with any carotenoids in men. CONCLUSION The annual rate of KOA development was higher in women, and retinol was associated with KOA development in women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Septic arthritis (SA) due to Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of lameness in poultry with improper response to antimicrobial therapy. OBJECTIVES The study evaluates the effect of prophylactic administration of vitamin C on SA induced by methicillin resistant S. aureus in chickens. METHODS One hundred and twenty chickens were randomly assigned into four groups: I. Negative control (NC), II. Positive control (PC) with SA induced at the age of 35 days by intra articular injection of S. aureus. III. Vehicle control (VC) and IV. Arthritic vitamin C-treated (VitC) group (15 g/100 L of drinking water from day 25 to the end of the experiment). Samplings were performed on day 44 (sampling 1) and day 54 (sampling 2) of age. RESULTS Arthritic birds showed an obvious decrease in body weight with severe clinical arthritis and lameness which were not significantly affected by vitamin C administration at both samplings. Moreover, marked increase in serum malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration of the PC group was observed in sampling 1. Administration of vitamin C successfully reduced MDA concentration at both samplings. In sampling 2, birds in the VitC group showed significantly higher total antioxidant capacity (TAC) than NC birds (p < 0.05). Interleukin-6 concentration in synovial fluid of chickens remained statistically similar among groups in both samplings, while histopathological changes were ameliorated in the VitC group in sampling 2. CONCLUSIONS Prophylactic administration of vitamin C especially for relatively longer period can ameliorate oxidative stress and histopathological changes due to staphylococcal arthritis in chickens, although it is not associated with a significant effect on clinical manifestations of the disease.

Abstract
In the past decade, cartilage tissue engineering has arisen as a promising therapeutic option for degenerative joint diseases, such as osteoarthritis, in the hope of restoring the structure and physiological functions. Hydrogels are promising biomaterials for developing engineered scaffolds for cartilage regeneration. However, hydrogel-delivered mesenchymal stem cells or chondrocytes could be exposed to elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the inflammatory microenvironment after being implanted into injured joints, which may affect their phenotype and normal functions and thereby hinder the regeneration efficacy. To attenuate ROS induced side effects, a multifunctional hydrogel with an innate anti-oxidative ability was produced in this study. The hydrogel was rapidly formed through a dynamic covalent bond between phenylboronic acid grafted hyaluronic acid (HA-PBA) and poly(vinyl alcohol) and was further stabilized through a secondary crosslinking between the acrylate moiety on HA-PBA and the free thiol group from thiolated gelatin. The hydrogel is cyto-compatible and injectable and can be used as a bioink for 3D bioprinting. The viscoelastic properties of the hydrogels could be modulated through the hydrogel precursor concentration. The presence of dynamic covalent linkages contributed to its shear-thinning property and thus good printability of the hydrogel, resulting in the fabrication of a porous grid construct and a meniscus like scaffold at high structural fidelity. The bioprinted hydrogel promoted cell adhesion and chondrogenic differentiation of encapsulated rabbit adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells. Meanwhile, the hydrogel supported robust deposition of extracellular matrix components, including glycosaminoglycans and type II collagen, by embedded mouse chondrocytesin vitro. Most importantly, the hydrogel could protect encapsulated chondrocytes from ROS induced downregulation of cartilage-specific anabolic genes (ACAN and COL2) and upregulation of a catabolic gene (MMP13) after incubation with H2O2. Furthermore, intra-articular injection of the hydrogel in mice revealed adequate stability and good biocompatibilityin vivo. These results demonstrate that this hydrogel can be used as a novel bioink for the generation of 3D bioprinted constructs with anti-ROS ability to potentially enhance cartilage tissue regeneration in a chronic inflammatory and elevated ROS microenvironment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess differences in biochemical composition of the deep cartilage layer in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and nondiabetic controls using UTE (ultra-short echo time) T2* mapping and to investigate the association of vascular health and UTE T2* measurements. DESIGN Ten subjects with T2DM matched for age, sex, and body mass index with 10 nondiabetic controls. A 3D UTE sequence with 6 echo times was acquired using 3T magnetic resonance imaging of the knee. For UTE T2* analysis, the deep cartilage layer was segmented and analyzed in 5 compartments (patella, medial, and lateral femur and tibia). The ankle brachial index (ABI) was obtained in all subjects. Linear regression analyses were used to assess associations of T2DM and UTE T2* relaxation times and the associations of ABI measurements and UTE measurements. RESULTS Compared with nondiabetic controls, T2DM subjects had significantly lower mean T2*-UTE in the patella (mean difference 4.87 ms; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09-8.65; P = 0.015), the lateral tibia (mean difference 2.26 ms; 95% CI 0.06-4.45; P = 0.045), and the lateral femur (mean difference 4.96 ms; 95% CI 0.19-9.73; P = 0.043). Independent of diabetic status, subjects with higher ABI values, indicating better vascular health, had higher T2*-UTE of the patella (coefficient 15.2; 95% CI 3.3-21.4; P = 0.017), the medial tibia (coefficient 9.8; 95% CI 1.0-18.6; P = 0.031), and the lateral femur (coefficient 18.8; 95% CI 3.3-34.3; P = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS T2*-UTE measurements of the deep cartilage layer were consistently lower in subjects with T2DM and in subjects with impaired vascular health, likely indicating increased mineralization of this layer.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Mitochondria are recognized to be one of the most important organelles in chondrocytes for their role in triphosphate (ATP) generation through aerobic phosphorylation. Mitochondria also participate in many intracellular processes involving modulating reactive oxygen species (ROS), responding to instantaneous hypoxia stress, regulating cytoplasmic transport of calcium ion, and directing mitophagy to maintain the homeostasis of individual chondrocytes. DESIGNS To summarize the specific role of mitochondria in chondrocytes, we screened related papers in PubMed database and the search strategy is ((mitochondria) AND (chondrocyte)) AND (English [Language]). The articles published in the past 5 years were included and 130 papers were studied. RESULTS In recent years, the integrity of mitochondrial structure has been regarded as a prerequisite for normal chondrocyte survival and defect in mitochondrial function has been found in cartilage-related diseases, such as osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the understanding of mitochondria in cartilage is still largely limited. The mechanism on how the changes in mitochondrial structure and function directly lead to the occurrence and development of cartilage-related diseases remains to be elusive. CONCLUSION This review aims to summarize the role of mitochondria in chondrocytes under the physiological and pathological changes from ATP generation, calcium homeostasis, redox regulation, mitophagy modulation, mitochondria biogenesis to immune response activation. The enhanced understanding of molecular mechanisms in mitochondria might offer some new cues for cartilage remodeling and pathological intervention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Glucose concentrations used in current cell culture methods are a significant departure from physiological glucose levels. The study focuses on comparing the effects of glucose concentrations on primary human progenitors (connective tissue progenitors [CTPs]) used for cartilage repair. DESIGN Cartilage- (Outerbridge grade 1, 2, 3; superficial and deep zone cartilage), infrapatellar fatpad-, synovium-, and periosteum-derived cells were obtained from 63 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty and cultured simultaneously in fresh chondrogenic media containing 25 mM glucose (HGL) or 5 mM glucose (NGL) for pairwise comparison. Automated ASTM-based quantitative image analysis was used to determine colony-forming efficiency (CFE), effective proliferation rates (EPR), and sulfated-proteoglycan (GAG-ECM) staining of the CTPs across tissue sources. RESULTS HGL resulted in increased cell cultures with CFE = 0 compared with NGL in all tissue sources (P = 0.049). The CFE in NGL was higher than HGL for superficial cartilage (P < 0.001), and contrary for synovium-derived CTPs (P = 0.046) when CFE > 0. EPR of the CTPs did not differ between the media in the 6-day assay time period (P = 0.082). The GAG-ECM area of the CTPs and their progeny was increased in presence of HGL (P = 0.027). CONCLUSION Glucose concentration is critical to progenitor's physiology and should be taken into account in the setting of protocols for clinical or in vitro cell expansion strategies.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) patients undergo cartilage degradation and experience painful joint swelling. OA symptoms are caused by inflammatory molecules and the upregulation of catabolic genes leading to the breakdown of cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM). Here, we investigate the effects of gallic acid (GA) and mechanical stretching on the expression of anabolic and catabolic genes and restoring ECM production by osteoarthritic human articular chondrocytes (hAChs) cultured in monolayers. hAChs were seeded onto conventional plates or silicone chambers with or without 100 μM GA. A 5% cyclic tensile strain (CTS) was applied to the silicone chambers and the deposition of collagen and glycosaminoglycan, and gene expressions of collagen types II (COL2A1), XI (COL11A2), I (COL1A1), and X (COL10A1), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1 and MMP-13) as inflammation markers, were quantified. CTS and GA acted synergistically to promote the deposition of collagen and glycosaminoglycan in the ECM by 14- and 7-fold, respectively. Furthermore, the synergistic stimuli selectively upregulated the expression of cartilage-specific proteins, COL11A2 by 7-fold, and COL2A1 by 47-fold, and, in contrast, downregulated the expression of MMP-1 by 2.5-fold and MMP-13 by 125-fold. GA supplementation with CTS is a promising approach for restoring osteoarthritic hAChs ECM production ability making them suitable for complex tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles are small membrane-derived packages of information that are released from virtually all cell types. These nano-packages contain regulatory material including proteins, lipids, mRNA and microRNA and are a key mechanism of paracellular communication within a given microenvironment. Encompassed with a lipid bilayer, these organelles have been attributed numerous roles in regulating both physiological and pathological functions. Herein, we describe the role of EVs in the context of Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis and explore how they could be harnessed to treat inflammatory and degenerative joint conditions. These structures offer a promising therapeutic strategy for treating musculoskeletal diseases due to their bioactive content, stability, small size and intrinsic ability to enter the avascular cartilage, a notoriously challenging tissue to target. We also discuss how EVs can be manipulated to load therapeutic cargo or present additional targeting moieties to enhance their beneficial actions and tissue regenerative properties.

Abstract
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is a progressive articular degenerative disease that degrades articular cartilage and stimulates apoptosis in chondrocyte cells. An injectable decellularized, extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold, that might be able to combat the effects of PTOA, was developed where the ECM was conjugated with 20 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNP) and supplemented with curcumin and hyaluronic acid (HA). Porcine diaphragm ECM was decellularized and homogenized; AuNPs were conjugated using chemical crosslinking followed by mixing with curcumin and/or HA. Injection force testing and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were utilized to characterize the ECM scaffolds. In vitro testing with L929 murine fibroblasts, equine synovial fibroblasts, and Human Chondrocytes were used to determine biocompatibility, reactive oxygen species (ROS) reduction, and chondroprotective ability. The results demonstrated that conjugation of 20 nm AuNPs to the ECM was successful without significantly altering the physical properties as noted in the low injection force. In vitro work provided evidence of biocompatibility with a propensity to reduce intracellular ROS and an ability to mitigate apoptosis of chondrocyte cells stimulated with IL-1β, a known apoptosis inducing cytokine. It was concluded that an injectable AuNP-ECM may have the ability to mitigate inflammation and apoptosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was aimed at assessing the anti-arthritic effects of hesperidin on the inflammatory markers in serum/plasma, ectoenzymes activity in platelet, reactive oxygen species (ROS), apoptosis and cell cycle in bone marrow cells of a rat model of arthritis. METHODS Fifty-six adult female Wistar rats (245-274 g) were grouped into eight of seven rats each: control rats given normal saline or 40 mg/kg of hesperidin or 80 mg/kg of hesperidin, 0.2 mg/kg of dexamethasone, arthritic rats given normal saline, or 40 mg/kg of hesperidin or 80 mg/kg of hesperidin, and 0.2 mg/kg of dexamethasone. Myeloperoxidase and nitrate plus nitrite levels were evaluated in the plasma and serum, respectively. The ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases, ecto-5'-nucleotidase and ecto-adenosine deaminase activities were assessed in platelets. Subsequently, the cells of the bone marrow were obtained, and the assays for ROS, apoptosis and cell cycle were evaluated using flow cytometry. KEY FINDINGS The results showed that hesperidin mitigated inflammation, modulated adenosine nucleotides and nucleoside hydrolysing enzymes and levels, minimized ROS intracellularly, attenuated apoptotic process and activated cell cycle arrest in arthritic rat. CONCLUSION This study suggests that hesperidin could be a natural and promising anti-inflammatory compound for the management of arthritis.

[PMID: 34611515 PMCID: PMC8458778 DOI: 10.1016/j.jot.2021.08.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2021] [Revised: 07/19/2021] [Accepted: 08/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disease characterized by cartilage degradation, low-grade synovitis and subchondral bone alterations. In the damaged joint, there is a progressive increase of oxidative stress leading to disruption of chondrocyte homeostasis. The modulation of oxidative stress could control the expression of inflammatory and catabolic mediators involved in OA. We have previously demonstrated that extracellular vesicles (EVs) present in the secretome of human mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue (AD-MSCs) exert anti-inflammatory and anti-catabolic effects in OA chondrocytes. In the current work, we have investigated whether AD-MSC EVs could regulate oxidative stress in OA chondrocytes as well as the possible contribution of peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6). Methods Microvesicles (MV) and exosomes (EX) were isolated from AD-MSC conditioned medium by differential centrifugation with size filtration. The size and concentration of EVs were determined by resistive pulse sensing. OA chondrocytes were isolated from knee articular cartilage of advanced OA patients. 4-Hydroxynonenal adducts, IL-6 and MMP-13 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Expression of Prdx6 and autophagic markers was assessed by immunofluorescence and Western blotting. Prdx6 was downregulated in AD-MSCs by transfection with a specific siRNA. Results MV and to a lesser extent EX significantly reduced the production of oxidative stress in OA chondrocytes stimulated with IL-1β. Treatment with MV resulted in a dramatic upregulation of Prdx6. MV also enhanced the expression of autophagy marker LC3B. We downregulated Prdx6 in AD-MSCs by using a specific siRNA and then MV were isolated. These Prdx6-silenced MV failed to modify oxidative stress and the expression of autophagy markers. We also assessed the possible contribution of Prdx6 to the effects of MV on IL-6 and MMP-13 production. The reduction in the levels of both mediators induced by MV was partly reverted after Prdx6 silencing. Conclusion Our results indicate that EVs from AD-MSCs regulate the production of oxidative stress in OA chondrocytes during inflammation. Prdx6 may mediate the antioxidant and protective effects of MV. The translational potential of this article: This study gives insight into the protective properties of EVs from AD-MSCs in OA chondrocytes. Our findings support the development of novel therapies based on EVs to prevent or treat cartilage degradation.

J Biochem Mol Toxicol 2021; 35:e22844. [PMID: 34250664 PMCID: PMC8519056 DOI: 10.1002/jbt.22844] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Revised: 05/13/2021] [Accepted: 07/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disease that ultimately causes physical disability and imposes an economic burden on society. Cartilage destruction plays a key role in the development of OA. Vorinostat is an oral histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor and has been used for the treatment of T-cell lymphoma. Previous studies have reported the anti-inflammatory effect of HDAC inhibitors in both in vivo and in vitro models. However, it is unknown whether vorinostat exerts a protective effect in OA. In this study, our results demonstrate that treatment with vorinostat prevents interleukin 1α (IL-1α)-induced reduction of type II collagen at both gene and protein levels. Treatment with vorinostat reduced the IL-1α-induced production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) in T/C-28a2 cells. Additionally, vorinostat rescued the IL-1α-induced decrease in the expression of the collagen type II a1 (Col2a1) gene and the expression of Sry-related HMG box 9 (SOX-9). Importantly, we found that vorinostat inhibited the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13), which is responsible for the degradation of type II collagen. Furthermore, vorinostat suppressed the expression of E74-like factor 3 (ELF3), which is a key transcription factor that plays a pivotal role in the IL-1α-induced reduction of type II collagen. Also, the overexpression of ELF3 abolished the protective effects of vorinostat against IL-1α-induced loss of type 2 collagen by inhibiting the expression of SOX-9 whilst increasing the expression of MMP-13. In conclusion, our findings suggest that vorinostat might prevent cartilage destruction by rescuing the reduction of type II collagen, mediated by the suppression of ELF3.

[PMID: 35935054 PMCID: PMC9348542 DOI: 10.34172/apb.2022.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2021] [Revised: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 08/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of conditioned medium derived from human adipose mesenchymal stem cells (CM-hADSCs) on C28I2 chondrocytes against oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptosis induced by high glucose (HG).
Methods: C28I2 cells were pre-treated with CM-hADSCs for 24 hours followed by HG exposure (75 mM) for 48 hours. MTT assay was used to assess the cell viability. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation were determined by 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFHDA) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assays, respectively. Expressions of glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX 3), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1) were analyzed by RT-PCR. Finally, western blot analysis was used to measure Bax, Bcl-2, cleaved caspase-3, and Nrf-2 expression at protein levels.
Results: CM-hADSCs pretreatment mitigated the cytotoxic effect of HG on C28I2 viability. Treatment also markedly reduced the levels of ROS, lipid peroxidation, and augmented the expression of HO-1, NQO1, and GPx3 genes in HG-exposed group. CM-ADSCs enhanced Nrf-2 protein expression and reduced mitochondrial apoptosis through reducing Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and Caspase-3 activation.
Conclusion: MSCs, probably through its paracrine effects, declined the deleterious effect of HG on chondrocytes. Hence, therapies based on MSCs secretomes appear to be a promising therapeutic approaches to prevent joint complications in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Purpose The pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by joint degeneration. The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1β plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of OA by stimulation of specific signaling pathways like NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, and MAPKs pathways. The catabolic role of growth factors in the OA may be inhibited cytokine-activated pathogen. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential effects of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) on IL-1β-induced apoptosis in rabbit chondrocytes in vitro and in an in vivo rabbit knee OA model. Methods In the present study, the OA developed in chondrocyte with the treatment of IL-1β and articular cartilage ruptures by removal of cartilage from the rabbit knee femoral condyle. After IGF-1 treatment, immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR were identified OA expression with changes in MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases). The production of ROS (intracellular reactive oxygen species) in the OA was detected by flow cytometry. Further, the disease progression was microscopically investigated and pathophysiological changes were analyzed using histology. The NF-κB, PI3K/Akt and P38 (MAPK) specific pathways that are associated with disease progression were also checked using the Western blot technique. Results The expression of MMPs and various apoptotic markers are down-regulated following administration of IGF-1 in a dose-dependent fashion while significantly up-regulation of TIMP-1. The results showed that higher levels of ROS were observed upon treatment of chondrocytes and chondral OA with IL-1β. Collectively, our results indicated that IGF-1 protected NF-κB pathway by suppression of PI3K/Akt and MAPKs specific pathways. Furthermore, the macroscopic and pathological investigation showed that it has a chondroprotective effect by the formation of hyaline cartilage. Conclusion Our results indicate a protective effect of IGF-1 against OA pathogenesis by inhibition of NF-κB signaling via regulation of the MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways and prevention of apoptosis by suppression of ROS production.

Abstract
Background Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan widely used in the fields of orthopedics, ophthalmology, and aesthetic medicine due to its significant ability to reduce the synthesis of pro‐inflammatory proteins and its activity against oxidative stress, a feature of many degenerative illnesses. Objectives The objective of the present review is to provide a comprehensive narrative review of the most recent literature on the use of hyaluronic acid in andrology in order to facilitate the use of this therapeutic device in the common clinical practice of many physicians. Specific conditions covered in the review are Peyronie's disease, premature ejaculation, and penile enlargement. Materials and methods A broad and comprehensive literature search included Medline, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Libraries, with no time restriction up to December 2020 and restricted to English language publications. Unpublished studies were not included. The study was registered as “The role of hyaluronic acid in andrology: A systematic review and meta‐analysis” in PROSPERO with the ID CRD42021223416. Discussion and conclusion Hyaluronic acid is a valid choice for the treatment of Peyronie's disease in terms of the resolution of the acute phase of the disease and of contributing to stabilizing the disease as a bridge to potential surgery. Data, furthermore, suggest that hyaluronic acid is frequently associated with an overall clinical improvement, allowing the patient to resume normal sexual activity. With regard to premature ejaculation, data suggests hyaluronic acid‐based treatments were effective in prolonging intra‐vaginal ejaculation time. Furthermore, hyaluronic acid was found to be safe and well‐tolerated, with main adverse events limited to local discomfort, ecchymosis, papule formation, and glans numbness, all of which were reported to resolve spontaneously. Last, with regard to penile enlargement, the overall perception of experts is that hyaluronic acid may be an extremely well‐tolerated compound with potential for application in specific areas of male sexual health that are often neglected as compared to more common, and relatively simpler to treat, conditions.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint degenerative disease that is an exceedingly common problem associated with aging. Aging is the principal risk factor for OA, but damage-related physiopathology of articular chondrocytes probably drives the mechanisms of joint degeneration by a progressive decline in the homeostatic and regenerative capacity of cells. Cellular aging is the manifestation of a complex interplay of cellular and molecular pathways underpinned by transcriptional, translational, and epigenetic mechanisms and niche factors, and unraveling this complexity will improve our understanding of underlying molecular changes that affect the ability of the articular cartilage to maintain or regenerate itself. This insight is imperative for developing new cell and drug therapies for OA disease that will target the specific causes of age-related functional decline. This review explores the key age-related changes within articular chondrocytes and discusses the molecular mechanisms that are commonly perturbed as cartilage ages and degenerates. Current efforts and emerging potential therapies in treating OA that are being employed to halt or decelerate the aging processes are also discussed.

Abstract
The association between obesity and osteoarthritis (OA) in joints not subjected to mechanical overload, together with the relationship between OA and metabolic syndrome, suggests that there are systemic factors related to metabolic disorders that are involved in the metabolic phenotype of OA. The aim of this work is study the effects of palmitate and oleate on cellular metabolism in an "in vitro" model of human chondrocytes. The TC28a2 chondrocyte cell line was used to analyze the effect of palmitate and oleate on mitochondrial and glycolytic function, Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and lipid droplets accumulation. Palmitate, but not oleate, produces mitochondrial dysfunction observed with a lower coupling efficiency, maximal respiration and spare respiratory capacity. Glycolytic function showed lower rates both glycolytic capacity and glycolytic reserve when cells were incubated with fatty acids (FAs). The production rate of total and mitochondrial ATP showed lower values in chondrocytes incubated with palmitic acid (PA). The formation of lipid droplets increased in FA conditions, being significantly higher when the cells were incubated with oleic acid (OL). These results may help explain, at least in part, the close relationship of metabolic pathologies with OA, as well as help to elucidate some of the factors that can define a metabolic phenotype in OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful and disabling disease that affects millions of patients. Its etiology is largely unknown, but it is most likely multifactorial. OA pathogenesis involves the catabolism of the cartilage extracellular matrix and is supported by inflammatory and oxidative signaling pathways and marked epigenetic changes. To delay OA progression, a wide range of exercise programs and naturally derived compounds have been suggested. This literature review aims to analyze the main signaling pathways and the evidence about the synergistic effects of these two interventions to counter OA. The converging nutrigenomic and physiogenomic intervention could slow down and reduce the complex pathological features of OA. This review provides a comprehensive picture of a possible signaling approach for targeting OA molecular pathways, initiation, and progression.

Abstract
In this work, the protective effect of baicalein on DNA oxidative damage and its possible protection mechanisms were investigated. 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) colorimetry and agarose gel electrophoresis study found that baicalein protected the deoxyribose residue and double-stranded backbone of DNA from the damage of hydroxyl radicals. Antioxidant analysis results showed that baicalein has excellent radicals scavenging effects and Fe2+ chelating ability, which might be the mechanism of baicalein protecting DNA. DNA binding studies indicated that baicalein bound to the minor groove of DNA with moderate binding affinity (K = (7.35 ± 0.91) × 103 M-1). Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces played a major role in driving the binding process. Molecular docking further confirmed the experimental results. This binding could stabilize DNA double helix structure, thereby protecting DNA from oxidative damage. This study may provide theoretical basis for designing new functional foods of baicalein for DNA damage protection.

[PMID: 34056329 PMCID: PMC8154015 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.1c01170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2021] [Accepted: 04/09/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
The proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM), such as type II collagen in chondrocytes, plays an important role in the development of osteoarthritis (OA). Telmisartan, an angiotensin II (Ang-II) receptor blocker, is a licensed drug used for the treatment of hypertension. However, the effects of Telmisartan in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced damage to chondrocytes and the progression of OA are unknown. In this study, we found that treatment with Telmisartan attenuated TNF-α-induced oxidative stress by reducing the levels of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the production of protein carbonyl in human C28/I2 chondrocytes. Interestingly, Telmisartan inhibited TNF-α-induced expression and secretions of proinflammatory mediators such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1). Notably, stimulation with TNF-α reduced the levels of type II collagen at both the mRNA and the protein levels, which was rescued by the treatment with Telmisartan. Mechanistically, we found that Telmisartan restored TNF-α-induced reduction of SOX-9. Silencing of SOX-9 blocked the inhibitory effects of Telmisartan against TNF-α-induced degradation of type II collagen. These findings suggest that Telmisartan might be a potential and promising agent for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by extracellular cytokines trigger the expression of inflammatory mediators in osteoarthritis (OA) chondrocyte. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) exerts an anti-inflammatory effect. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of PPARγ in interleukin-1β- (IL-1β-) induced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) expression through ROS generation in OA chondrocytes. METHODS IL-1β-induced ROS generation and chondrocyte apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry. Contents of NADPH oxidase (NOX), caspase-3, and caspase-9 were evaluated by biochemical detection. The involvement of NOX2 and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in IL-1β-induced COX-2 and PGE2 expression was investigated using pharmacologic inhibitors and further analyzed by western blotting. Activation of PPARγ was performed by using a pharmacologic agonist and was analyzed by western blotting. RESULTS IL-1β-induced COX-2 and PGE2 expression was mediated through NOX2 activation/ROS production, which could be attenuated by N-acetylcysteine (NAC; a scavenger of ROS), GW1929 (PPARγ agonist), DPI (diphenyleneiodonium chloride, NOX2 inhibitor), SB203580 (p38MAPK inhibitor), PD98059 (extracellular signal-regulated kinase, ERK inhibitor), and SP600125 (c-Jun N-terminal kinase, JNK inhibitor). ROS activated p38MAPK to enter the nucleus, which was attenuated by PPARγ. CONCLUSION In OA chondrocytes, IL-1β induced COX-2 and PGE2 expression via activation of NOX2, which led to ROS production and MAPK activation. The activation of PPARγ exerted protective roles in the pathogenesis of OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and a major cause of limited functionality and thus a decrease in the quality of life of the inflicted. Given the fact that the existing pharmacological treatments lack disease-modifying properties and their use entails significant side effects, nutraceuticals with bioactive compounds constitute an interesting field of research. Polyphenols are plant-derived molecules with established anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that have been extensively evaluated in clinical settings and preclinical models in OA. As more knowledge is gained in the research field, an interesting approach in the management of OA is the additive and/or synergistic effects that polyphenols may have in an optimized supplement. Therefore, the aim of this review was to summarize the recent literature regarding the use of combined polyphenols in the management of OA. For that purpose, a PubMed literature survey was conducted with a focus on some preclinical osteoarthritis models and randomized clinical trials on patients with osteoarthritis from 2018 to 2021 which have evaluated the effect of combinations of polyphenol-rich extracts and purified polyphenol constituents. Data indicate that combined polyphenols may be promising for the treatment of osteoarthritis in the future, but more clinical trials with novel approaches in the identification of the in-between relationship of such constituents are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease of the whole joint, with articular cartilage breakdown as a major characteristic. Inflammatory mediators, proteases, and oxidants produced by chondrocytes are known to be responsible for driving cartilage degradation. Nevertheless, the early pathogenic events are still unclear. To investigate this, we employed an antibody that is specific to oxidative post-translationally modified collagen type II (anti-oxPTM-CII) to detect early cartilage pathogenic changes in two rat models of OA. METHODS The animals underwent surgery for destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) and were sacrificed after 3, 5, 7, 14, and 28 days. Alternatively, anterior cruciate ligament transection with partial meniscectomy (ACLT+pMx) was performed and animals were sacrificed after 1, 3, 5, 7, and 14 days. Joints were stained with toluidine blue and saffron du Gatinais for histological scoring, anti-oxPTM-CII, and anti-collagen type X antibodies (anti-CX). RESULTS We observed positive oxPTM-CII staining as early as 1 or 3 days after ACLT+pMx or DMM surgeries, respectively, before overt cartilage lesions were visible. oxPTM-CII was located mostly in the deep zone of the medial tibial cartilage, in the pericellular and territorial matrix of hypertrophic chondrocytes, and co-localized with CX staining. Staining was weak or absent for the lateral compartment or the contralateral knees except at later time points. CONCLUSION The results demonstrate that oxidant production and chondrocyte hypertrophy occur very early in the onset of OA, possibly initiating the pathogenic events of OA. We propose to use anti-oxPTM-CII as an early biomarker for OA ahead of radiographic changes.

Casticin Attenuates Osteoarthritis-Related Cartilage Degeneration by Inhibiting the ROS-Mediated NF-κB Signaling Pathway in vitro and in vivo. Inflammation 2021; 43:810-820.

Abstract
Casticin, a flavonoid isolated from Vitex trifolia, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antitumor effects in previous studies. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease based on degenerative pathological changes. The disease process is often accompanied by inflammatory pathological changes. However, there is no safe and effective drug for prevention and treatment. In the present study, we aimed to clarify the role of casticin in the murine model of destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM). Male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups: Sham, DMM-induced OA treated with vehicle, and DMM-induced OA treated with casticin. Our results indicated that the casticin treatments markedly reduced the destruction of cartilage and OARSI grades compared with those of the vehicle-treated mice. The levels of matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP13) in cartilage were also significantly reduced in the casticin-treated mice. Casticin also significantly regulated oxidative stress and reduced inflammation in the cartilage of mice with OA. These results suggest that casticin prevents the development of posttraumatic OA in mice. Consequently, decreased reactive oxygen species levels and suppressed proinflammatory cytokine production were confirmed in casticin-treated IL-1β-stimulated ADTC5 cells. After casticin treatment, the NF-κB signaling pathway was significantly inhibited in the cells. It can be concluded that casticin can alleviate arthritis-related cartilage degeneration by inhibiting ROS-mediated NF-κB signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo.

Marine Collagen Hydrolysates Promote Collagen Synthesis, Viability and Proliferation While Downregulating the Synthesis of Pro-Catabolic Markers in Human Articular Chondrocytes. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22073693. [PMID: 33916312 PMCID: PMC8036580 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22073693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2021] [Revised: 03/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Cartilage is a non-innervated and non-vascularized tissue. It is composed of one main cell type, the chondrocyte, which governs homeostasis within the cartilage tissue, but has low metabolic activity. Articular cartilage undergoes substantial stresses that lead to chondral defects, and inevitably osteoarthritis (OA) due to the low intrinsic repair capacity of cartilage. OA remains an incurable degenerative disease. In this context, several dietary supplements have shown promising results, notably in the relief of OA symptoms. In this study, we investigated the effects of collagen hydrolysates derived from fish skin (Promerim®30 and Promerim®60) and fish cartilage (Promerim®40) on the phenotype and metabolism of human articular chondrocytes (HACs). First, we demonstrated the safety of Promerim® hydrolysates on HACs cultured in monolayers. Then we showed that, Promerim® hydrolysates can increase the HAC viability and proliferation, while decreasing HAC SA-β-galactosidase activity. To evaluate the effect of Promerim® on a more relevant model of culture, HAC were cultured as organoids in the presence of Promerim® hydrolysates with or without IL-1β to mimic an OA environment. In such conditions, Promerim® hydrolysates led to a decrease in the transcript levels of some proteases that play a major role in the development of OA, such as Htra1 and metalloproteinase-1. Promerim® hydrolysates downregulated HtrA1 protein expression. In contrast, the treatment of cartilage organoids with Promerim® hydrolysates increased the neosynthesis of type I collagen (Promerim®30, 40 and 60) and type II collagen isoforms (Promerim®30 and 40), the latter being the major characteristic component of the cartilage extracellular matrix. Altogether, our results demonstrate that the use of Promerim® hydrolysates hold promise as complementary dietary supplements in combination with the current classical treatments or as a preventive therapy to delay the occurrence of OA in humans.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common medical conditions affecting > 300 million people globally which represents the formidable public health challenge. Despite its clinical and financial ramifications, there are currently no approved disease modifying OA drugs available and symptom palliation is the only alternative. Currently, the amount of data on the human intestinal microbiome is growing at a high rate, both in health and in various pathological conditions. With an increase in the amount of the accumulated data, there is an expanded understanding that the microbiome provides compelling evidence of a link between thegut microbiomeand development ofOA. The microbiota management tools of probiotics and/or prebiotics or symbiotic have been developed and indeed, commercialized over the past few decades with the expressed purpose of altering the microbiota within the gastrointestinal tract which could be a potentially novel intervention to tackle or prevent OA. However, the mechanisms how intestinal microbiota affects the OA pathogenesis are still not clear and further research targeting specific gut microbiota or its metabolites is still needed to advance OA treatment strategies from symptomatic management to individualized interventions of OA pathogenesis. This article provides an overview of the various preclinical and clinical studies using probiotics and prebiotics as plausible therapeutic options that can restore the gastrointestinal microbiota and its impact on the OA pathogenesis. May be in the near future the targeted alterations of gut microbiota may pave the way for developing new interventions to prevent and treat OA.

Abstract
In this study, we using the in vivo destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) mouse model to investigate the role of bone morphogenetic protein 5 (BMP5) in osteoarthritis (OA) progression mediated via chondrocyte senescence and apoptosis. BMP5 expression was significantly higher in knee articular cartilage tissues of OA patients and DMM model mice than the corresponding controls. The Osteoarthritis Research Society International scores based on histological staining of knee articular cartilage sections were lower in DMM mice where BMP5 was knocked down in chondrocytes than the corresponding controls 4 weeks after DMM surgery. DMM mice with BMP5-deficient chondrocytes showed reduced levels of matrix-degrading enzymes such as MMP13 and ADAMTS5 as well as reduced cartilage destruction. BMP5 knockdown also decreased chondrocyte apoptosis and senescence by suppressing the activation of p38 and ERK MAP kinases. These findings demonstrate that BMP5 silencing inhibits chondrocyte senescence and apoptosis as well as OA progression by downregulating activity in the p38/ERK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background Mechanical overload applied on the articular cartilage may play an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. However, the mechanism of chondrocyte mechanotransduction is not fully understood. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of compressive mechanical stress on interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) and matrix-degrading enzyme expression by three-dimensional (3D) cultured ATDC5 cells. In addition, the implications of transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel regulation in promoting effects of compressive mechanical loading were elucidated. Methods ATDC5 cells were cultured in alginate beads with the growth medium containing insulin-transferrin-selenium and BMP-2 for 6 days. The cultured cell pellet was seeded in collagen scaffolds to produce 3D-cultured constructs. Cyclic compressive loading was applied on the 3D-cultured constructs at 0.5 Hz for 3 h. The mRNA expressions of a disintegrin and metalloproteinases with thrombospondin motifs 4 (ADAMTS4) and IL-1R were determined with or without compressive loading, and effects of TRPV4 agonist/antagonist on mRNA expressions were examined. Immunoreactivities of reactive oxygen species (ROS), TRPV4 and IL-1R were assessed in 3D-cultured ATDC5 cells. Results In 3D-cultured ATDC5 cells, ROS was induced by cyclic compressive loading stress. The mRNA expression levels of ADAMTS4 and IL-1R were increased by cyclic compressive loading, which was mostly prevented by pyrollidine dithiocarbamate. Small amounts of IL-1β upregulated ADAMTS4 and IL-1R mRNA expressions only when combined with compressive loading. TRPV4 agonist suppressed ADAMTS4 and IL-1R mRNA levels induced by the compressive loading, whereas TRPV4 antagonist enhanced these levels. Immunoreactivities to TRPV4 and IL-1R significantly increased in constructs with cyclic compressive loading. Conclusion Cyclic compressive loading induced mRNA expressions of ADAMTS4 and IL-1R through reactive oxygen species. TRPV4 regulated these mRNA expressions, but excessive compressive loading may impair TRPV4 regulation. These findings suggested that TRPV4 regulates the expression level of IL-1R and subsequent IL-1 signaling induced by cyclic compressive loading and participates in cartilage homeostasis.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease. With the increasing aging population, the associated socio-economic costs are also increasing. Analgesia and surgery are the primary treatment options in late-stage OA, with drug treatment only possible in early prevention to improve patients' quality of life. The most important structural component of the joint is cartilage, consisting solely of chondrocytes. Instability in chondrocyte balance results in phenotypic changes and cell death. Therefore, cartilage degradation is a direct consequence of chondrocyte imbalance, resulting in the degradation of the extracellular matrix and the release of pro-inflammatory factors. These factors affect the occurrence and development of OA. The P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) belongs to the purinergic receptor family and is a non-selective cation channel gated by adenosine triphosphate. It mediates Na+, Ca2+ influx, and K+ efflux, participates in several inflammatory reactions, and plays an important role in the different mechanisms of cell death. However, the relationship between P2X7R-mediated cell death and the progression of OA requires investigation. In this review, we correlate potential links between P2X7R, cartilage degradation, and inflammatory factor release in OA. We specifically focus on inflammation, apoptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy. Lastly, we discuss the therapeutic potential of P2X7R as a potential drug target for OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint disorder characterized by progressive cartilage damage, resulting in gradual disability among the elderly. We previously provided in vivo evidence that nuclear factor erythroid 2‑related factor 2 (Nrf2) deficiency is associated with the development of OA. It has been reported that coniferaldehyde (CFA) acts as a potential Nrf2 activator. The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effects of CFA against osteoarthritis. A murine model of surgical‑induced OA was used in the present study and CFA was administered by peritoneal injection every day, and the knee joints were assessed by histological analysis. The results demonstrated that CFA activated the Nrf2 signaling pathway in primary chondrocytes and articular cartilage from the knee joints. Cartilage damage in mice subjected to the destabilization of the medial meniscus was evidently alleviated by CFA treatment. CFA also robustly suppressed apoptosis induced by H2O2 in murine chondrocytes and reduced the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)1, MMP3, interleukin (IL)‑1 and IL‑6 in vivo. On the whole, the findings suggested that CFA exerts a therapeutic effect against OA, and the activation of the Nrf2/heme oxygenase‑1 pathway may play a crucial role in CFA‑mediated cartilage protection.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The present study was designed to investigate the therapeutic effects against oxidative stress and alleviative effects of Peganum harmala seeds (PH) in rats with Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA) induced arthritis.
Methods
The extract was evaluated for its phytoconstituents, antiarthritic and antioxidant properties. The action of chloroform (PHC) and ethanolic (PHE) extracts of PH was evaluated in adult Lewis rats (150-200 g).with CFA induced arthritis. Arthritic rats received PH extracts 100 mg/kg orally for 28 consecutive days (Prophylactic treatment) and from 14th day of CFA injection (Therapeutic treatment).
Results
PHE significantly suppressed the arthritis severity in rats than PHC in 28 days. All complications shown significant reduction (p< 0.05) in arthritic rats including paw volume (63.09%), body weight loss, decreased locomotor activity, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and synovial/hepatic tissues lipid peroxidation and increase in cellular antioxidants superoxide dismutase (U/mg) activities and hemoglobin counts. The results showed the presence of alkaloids and flavonoids in PHE. Histology and radiographic analysis of arthritic ankle joints indicated abnormal changes. Marked reduction in inflammation and arthritic changes were observed after treatment with PHE.
Conclusion
Therefore, the investigation suggests that PHE at 100 mg/kg will be useful in the management of rheumatoid arthritis complications which may possibly be due to boosting the intracellular antioxidant defense.
