Abstract
Synovial inflammation plays an important role in osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. Different biological compounds have been tested mainly on chondrocytes, to treat early stages of OA. However, because OA has been recently defined as "an organ" pathology, investigation on synoviocytes is also needed. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to validate a human fibroblast-like synoviocytes cell line (K4IM) to test the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronan (HA) on anabolic and catabolic gene expression and on HA secretion from cell cultures. In order to determine the effect of PRP and HA, K4IM cells were maintained in culture with or without TNF-α stimulation. In the presence of PRP, unstimulated K4IM cells presented the same expression of IL1B, IL6, CXCL8, VEGF, TIMP1, and hyaluronic synthase isoform HAS3 as primary human synoviocytes, while HA addition did not change their expression pattern, which was similar to control cells. Stimulated cells expressed significantly higher values of IL1B, CXCL8, and VEGF compared with unstimulated ones. PRP did not show any modification, except for VEGF, while HA addition modulated IL1B expression. PRP did not modulate HA release of both stimulated and unstimulated cells. Our study showed the possibility to use K4IM synoviocytes as an in vitro model to test biological compounds useful for the treatment of early OA. Primary cells reflect the phenotype of cells in vivo, but limited recovery from biopsies and restricted lifespan makes experimental manipulation challenging. Therefore, despite cell lines present some limitations, they could be used as an alternative for preliminary experiments.

Abstract
Micro(mi)RNAs are small, non-coding RNA molecules known to play a significant role in osteoarthritis (OA) initiation and development, and similar to matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), they participate in cartilage degeneration and cleave multiple extracellular matrices. The aim of this study was to determine whether the expression of MMP-19 in interleukin (IL)-1β-induced human chondrocytes is directly regulated by miR-193b-3p. Expression levels of miR-193b-3p and MMP-19 in normal and osteoarthritis (OA) human cartilage, and interleukin-1 β (IL-1β)-induced human chondrocytes were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Additionally, expression level of MMP-19 in IL-1β-induced human chondrocytes was estimated by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry analyses. The effect of miR-193b-3p on MMP-19 expression was evaluated using transient transfection of normal human chondrocytes with miR-193b-3p mimic or its antisense inhibitor (miR-193b-3p inhibitor), and siMMP-19. The putative binding site of miR-193b-3p in the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of MMP-19 mRNA was validated by luciferase reporter assay. miR-193b-3p expression was reduced in OA cartilage compared to that in normal chondrocytes, while the opposite was observed for MMP-19. Upregulation of MMP-19 expression was correlated with downregulation of miR-193b-3p in IL-1β-stimulated normal chondrocytes. Increase in miR-193b-3p levels was associated with silencing of MMP-19. Overexpression of miR-193b-3p suppressed the activity of the reporter construct containing the 3'-UTR of human MMP-19 mRNA and inhibited the IL-1β-induced expression of MMP-19 and iNOS in chondrocytes, while treatment with miR-193b-3p inhibitor enhanced MMP-19 expression. MiR-193b-3p is an important regulator of MMP-19 in human chondrocytes and may relieve the inflammatory response in OA.

Abstract
Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is a zinc finger transcription factor that plays crucial roles during the development and maintenance of multiple organs. We and others have previously shown that KLF4 is involved in bone modeling and remodeling but roles played by KLF4 during skeletogenesis are still not fully understood. Here, we show that KLF4 is expressed in the epiphyseal growth plate and articular chondrocytes. Most articular chondrocytes expressed KLF4 in embryos but it localized only in a subset of superficial zone cells in postnatal mice. When KLF4 was overexpressed in chondrocytes in vitro, it severely repressed chondrocytic gene expressions. Global gene expression profiling of KLF4-transduced chondrocytes revealed matrix degrading proteinases of the matrix metalloproteinase and disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin-1 domain families within the group of upregulated genes. Proteinase induction by KLF4 was alleviated by Trichostatin A treatment suggesting the possible involvement of epigenetic mechanisms on proteinase induction by KLF4. These results indicate the possible involvement of KLF4 in physiological and pathological aspects during cartilage development and maintenance.

Abstract
Background Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and macrophages play an important role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Currently, it is not clear whether inflammatory M1 or anti-inflammatory M2 predominate among the resident macrophages in the synovium. In the present study, we set out to investigate the impact of TLR stimulation on monocyte-derived M1 and M2 macrophage function and phenotype by mimicking the exposure to abundant TLR agonists as occurs in the context of RA. The response of macrophage subsets to TLR2 and TLR4 activation was evaluated on cluster of differentiation (CD) marker profile; cytokine secretion; gene expression; and NF-κB, interferon regulatory factors 3 and 7 (IRF3/7), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation. Methods Human monocytes were isolated from peripheral blood of healthy individuals and patients with RA and differentiated into M1-like and M2-like macrophages by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), respectively. Cells were either (1) stimulated with TLR ligands Pam3 or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or (2) classically activated via interferon (IFN)-γ/LPS. Cytokine production was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and gene expression was measured by qPCR. Cells were stained for CD markers and analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. NF-κB, IRF3/7, and MAPKs were detected by Western blotting. Results Monocyte-derived macrophages of healthy donors (HD) or patients with RA displayed comparable subset-specific phenotypes upon exposure to TLR agonists. CD14 and CD163 marker expression on M2 macrophages did not change upon TLR2 and TLR4 engagement. By contrast, M2 gene markers HMOX1, FOLR2, and SLC40A1 were decreased. Importantly, M2 macrophages derived from HD or patients with RA showed both a decreased ratio of interleukin (IL)-10/IL-6 and IL-10/IL-8 upon stimulation with TLR2 ligand Pam3 compared with TLR4 ligand LPS. Gene expression of TLR2 was increased, whereas TLR4 expression was decreased, by TLR ligand stimulation. MAPKs p38, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase were activated more strongly in M2 than in M1 macrophages by Pam3 or LPS. Conclusions We show that the anti-inflammatory activity of M2 macrophages is reduced in the presence of abundant TLR2 ligands without significant changes in cell surface markers. Thus, the classical M1/M2 paradigm based on cellular markers does not apply to macrophage functions in inflammatory conditions such as RA.

Abstract
![]()
Macrocyclic
peptides can interfere with challenging biomolecular
targets including protein–protein interactions. Whereas there
are various approaches that facilitate the identification of peptide-derived
ligands, their evolution into higher affinity binders remains a major
hurdle. We report a virtual screen based on molecular docking that
allows the affinity maturation of macrocyclic peptides taking non-natural
amino acids into consideration. These macrocycles bear large and flexible
substituents that usually complicate the use of docking approaches.
A virtual library containing more than 1400 structures was screened
against the target focusing on docking poses with the core structure
resembling a known bioactive conformation. Based on this screen, a
macrocyclic peptide 22 involving two non-natural amino
acids was evolved showing increased target affinity and biological
activity. Predicted binding modes were verified by X-ray crystallography.
The presented workflow allows the screening of large macrocyclic peptides
with diverse modifications thereby expanding the accessible chemical
space and reducing synthetic efforts.

Abstract
Our previous studies demonstrated that expression of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 6 (PCSK6) is greatly enhanced in rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast‑like synoviocytes (RASFs), and that PCSK6 inhibition decreases cell proliferation, migration and invasion. The present study aimed to investigate the functional role of PCSK6 in the hyperplasia of RASFs. Cultured RASFs from RA patients were stimulated with recombinant human (rh)PCSK6. Subsequent changes in proliferation, invasion, migration and the secretion of inflammatory cytokines were measured in vitro using MTT, wound healing and Transwell assays, and ELISA. Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. Influence on downstream gene expression levels were analyzed using reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Specific signaling pathways responsible for these effects were analyzed using western blotting and confirmed with pathway‑specific inhibitors. It was demonstrated that rhPCSK6 significantly increased RASF cell invasion, migration and proliferation, which was influenced through both reduced cell cycle arrest and reduced apoptosis. Furthermore, rhPCSK6 stimulated RASFs to secrete the inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)‑1α, IL‑1β and IL‑6, and exhibit altered expression of genes involved in angiogenesis, hypoxia, proliferation and inflammation. These cellular effects were mediated via the nuclear factor (NF)‑κB, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and extracellular signal regulated (ERK)1/2 signaling pathways. The results demonstrated that signaling via NF‑κB and STAT3 mediated cell cycle arrest, and signaling through NF‑κB mediated apoptosis in RASF cells stimulated with PCSK6. PCSK6 can activate NF‑κB, STAT3 and ERK1/2 signaling pathways in vitro to enhance cell proliferation, migration, invasion and inflammation in RASF cells. These findings suggest that PCSK6 may be an important therapeutic target in RA.

Abstract
The IL-1 family member IL-36α has proinflammatory and pathogenic properties in psoriasis. IL-36α binds to the IL-36 receptor leading to nuclear factor kappa B/mitogen activated protein kinase mediated cytokine release. The IL-36R antagonist prevents recruitment of IL-1 receptor accessory protein and therefore IL-36-dependent cell activation. In inflamed human tissue, we previously could show that resident B cells and plasma cells (PC) express IL-36α. Further, fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) produced proinflammatory cytokines upon IL-36α-stimulation. We hypothesize an IL-36-specific crosstalk between B cells/PCs and FLS permitting a proinflammatory B cell niche. Here, we firstly demonstrated that B cell lines and B cells from healthy donors express IL-36α and stimulation increased IL-36α in B cells and primary plasmablasts/PCs. Moreover, FLS respond specifically to IL-36α by proliferation and production of matrix metalloproteinases via p38/HSP27 signaling. Importantly, IL-36R-deficiency abrogated IL-36α-induced production of inflammatory mediators in FLS and changed the intrinsic FLS-phenotype. Using an in vitro co-culture system, we could show that IL-36R-deficient FLS had a limited capacity to support PC survival compared to wild-type FLS. Hence, we demonstrated an IL-36R-dependent crosstalk between B cells/PCs and FLS. Our data support the concept of initiation and maintenance of a proinflammatory niche by B cells in the joints.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Gliostatin (GLS) has angiogenic and arthritogenic activities and enzymatic activity as thymidine phosphorylase. Aberrant GLS production has been observed in the synovial membranes of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in joint destruction. Promoters of GLS and some MMP genes contain Sp1 binding sites. We examined the inhibitory effect of the Sp1 inhibitor mithramycin on GLS-induced GLS and MMP expression in cultured fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs). METHODS Synovial tissue samples were obtained from patients with RA. FLSs pretreated with mithramycin were cultured with GLS. The mRNA expression levels of GLS and MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, and MMP-13 were determined using reverse transcription polymerase chain reactions. Protein levels were measured using enzyme immunoassay and gelatin zymography. RESULTS GLS upregulated the expression of GLS itself and of MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-9, and MMP-13, an effect significantly reduced by treatment with mithramycin. GLS and mithramycin had no effect on MMP-2 expression. CONCLUSIONS Mithramycin downregulated the increased expression of GLS and MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-9, and MMP-13 in FLSs treated with GLS. Because GLS plays a pathological role in RA, blocking GLS stimulation using an agent such as mithramycin may be a novel approach to antirheumatic therapy.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction of joint tissues including cartilage and bone. Cartilage degradation is attributed to metalloproteinases (MPs) that belong to matrix metalloproteinase family and a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 motifs produced by inflamed joint tissues. In addition, an enzyme that belongs to a disintegrin and metalloprotease family is also involved in release of inflammatory cytokines. Several highly selective inhibitors have been developed for MPs thought to play a role in RA pathogenesis and examining these inhibitors as potential drugs is becoming realistic. This chapter discusses recent reports on MPs in RA and their potential as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
The objective was to investigate the levels of TWIST1 in normal and OA cartilage and examine its role in regulating gene expression in chondrocytes. Human cartilage tissues and chondrocytes were obtained at autopsy from normal knee joints and from OA-affected joints at the time of total knee arthroplasty. TWIST1 expression was increased in human OA knee cartilage compared to normal knee cartilage. TWIST1 induced matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) expression without direct binding to MMP3 promoter and increased the 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) level at the MMP3 promoter. The effect of TWIST1 on expression of TET family (TET1, 2 and 3) was measured in stable TWIST1 transfected TC28 cells, and TET1 expression was up-regulated. TWIST1 dependent upregulation of Mmp3 expression was suppressed in Tet triple KO fibroblast derived from mouse ES cells. Increased TWIST1 expression is a feature of OA-affected cartilage. We identified a novel mechanism of catabolic reaction where TWIST1 up-regulates MMP3 expression by enriching 5hmC levels at the MMP3 promoter via TET1 induction. These findings implicate TWIST1 as an important factor regulating OA related gene expression. Clarifying epigenetic mechanisms of 5hmC induced by TWIST1 is a critical molecule to understanding OA pathogenesis.

Abstract
Purpose. Abnormal protein deposits including β-amyloid, found in ageing Bruch's membrane and brain, are susceptible to degradation by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In ageing Bruch's membrane, these MMPs become less effective due to polymerisation and aggregation reactions (constituting the MMP Pathway), a situation much advanced in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The likely presence of this MMP Pathway in brain with the potential to compromise the degradation of β-amyloid associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been investigated. Methods. Presence of high molecular weight MMP species (HMW1 and HMW2) together with the much larger aggregate termed LMMC was determined by standard zymographic techniques. Centrigugation and gel filtration techniques were used to separate and quantify the distribution between bound and free MMP species. Results. The MMP Pathway, initially identified in Bruch's membrane, was also present in brain tissue. The various MMP species displayed bound-free equilibrium and in AD samples, the amount of bound HMW1 and pro-MMP9 species was significantly reduced (p < 0.05). The abnormal operation of the MMP Pathway in AD served to reduce the degradation potential of the MMP system. Conclusion. The presence and abnormalities of the MMP Pathway in both brain and ocular tissues may therefore contribute to the anomalous deposits associated with AD and AMD.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are both debilitating diseases that cause significant morbidity in the US population. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, are now recognized to play important roles in cell-to-cell communication by transporting various proteins, microRNAs (miRNAs), and mRNAs. EV-derived proteins and miRNAs impact cell viability and cell differentiation, and are likely to play a prominent role in the pathophysiology of both OA and RA. Some of the processes by which these membrane-bound vesicles can alter joint tissue include extracellular matrix degradation, cell-to-cell communication, modulation of inflammation, angiogenesis, and antigen presentation. For example, EVs from IL-1β-stimulated fibroblast-like synoviocytes have been shown to induce osteoarthritic changes in chondrocytes. RA models have shown that EVs stimulated with inflammatory cytokines are capable of inducing apoptosis resistance in T cells, presenting antigen to T cells, and causing extracellular damage with matrix-degrading enzymes. EVs derived from rheumatoid models have also been shown to induce secretion of COX-2 and stimulate angiogenesis. Additionally, there is evidence that synovium-derived EVs may be promising biomarkers of disease in both OA and RA. The characterization of EVs in the joint space has also opened up the possibility for delivery of small molecules. This article reviews current knowledge on the role of EVs in both RA and OA, and their potential role as therapeutic targets for modulation of these debilitating diseases.

Abstract
Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum (CZ) has been used for beverage or tea and also as folk medicine for the remedy of diverse inflammatory diseases. Nevertheless, the therapeutic effect of CZ on arthritis remains to be unknown. In this paper we aim to investigate the CZ's antiarthritic effect and mechanism of action both in vitro and in vivo. To assess CZ's antiarthritic effect, mouse models of type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) were used. Mice were used to gauge clinical arthritis index and histopathological changes. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), western blotting, electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), and other biological methods were adopted to measure CZ's effect on arthritis and to understand the veiled mechanism of action. CZ greatly suppressed CIA, histopathological score, bone erosion, and osteoclast differentiation. Mechanistically, CZ inhibited the production of various inflammatory and arthritic mediators like inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and chemokines. Of note, CZ significantly suppressed the activation of the NF-κB pathway in vivo. CZ exerted an antiarthritic effect in CIA mice by curbing the production of crucial inflammatory and arthritis mediators. This study warrants further investigation of CZ for the use in human rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of different concentrations of acetylsalicylic acid combined with diclofenac on the articular cartilage of a rabbit model of osteoarthritis (OA). A total of 40 New Zealand white rabbits were divided into 5 groups. Group A was a sham-operated control group, which was treated with normal saline. Groups B-E were OA models and were treated with normal saline and acetylsalicylic acid combined with diclofenac at concentrations of 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg, respectively. A cartilage macroscopic examination and a pathological observation were performed to analyze the structure of the articular cartilage in all of the treated groups. The nitric oxide (NO) content and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) levels were detected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In addition, the protein expression of matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP)-3 and MMP-13 were detected by western blot analysis. The mRNA expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP1) was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results revealed that different concentrations of the drugs significantly reduced the scores of cartilago articularis, the NO and IL-1β levels and the protein expression of MMP-3 and MMP-13. Furthermore, PCR revealed that the mRNA expression of TIMP1 was significantly upregulated, and the effects increased with increasing drug concentration. Thus, the administration of different concentrations of acetylsalicylic acid combined with diclofenac demonstrates preventive or therapeutic effects against OA progression.

Abstract
It is well established that the expression profiles of multiple and possibly redundant matrix-remodeling proteases (e.g., collagenases) differ strongly in health, disease, and development. Although enzymatic redundancy might be inferred from their close similarity in structure, their in vivo activity can lead to extremely diverse tissue-remodeling outcomes. We observed that proteolysis of collagen-rich natural extracellular matrix (ECM), performed uniquely by individual homologous proteases, leads to distinct events that eventually affect overall ECM morphology, viscoelastic properties, and molecular composition. We revealed striking differences in the motility and signaling patterns, morphology, and gene-expression profiles of cells interacting with natural collagen-rich ECM degraded by different collagenases. Thus, in contrast to previous notions, matrix-remodeling systems are not redundant and give rise to precise ECM-cell crosstalk. Because ECM proteolysis is an abundant biochemical process that is critical for tissue homoeostasis, these results improve our fundamental understanding its complexity and its impact on cell behavior.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by progressive cartilage destruction, matrix degradation and bony changes. Subchondral bone alterations in osteoarthritis are associated with cartilage destruction. It has previously been demonstrated that osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor κβ ligand (RANKL) mediate this process. The RANKL/OPG ratio is altered in OA chondrocytes compared with normal chondrocytes. In the pathogenesis of OA, abnormal expression levels of matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) are secreted by chondrocytes has a vital role in the progression of cartilage erosion. In the present study, the effect of various RANKL/OPG ratios on MMP-13 expression levels was investigated in interleukin-1β-stimulated SW1353 human chondrosarcoma cells. Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay and MMP-13 mRNA and protein expression levels were analyzed by quantitative reverse-transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, ELISA and western blot analyses, respectively. The results demonstrated that an increase in MMP-13 mRNA and protein expression levels was observed with increasing RANKL/OPG ratio. These findings suggest that this mechanism may be used as a novel therapeutic strategy against OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of hyaluronan oligosaccharides (HAoligos) on interactions between HA and its principal receptor, CD44, in rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts (RSFs) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) production. METHODS RSFs were isolated from rheumatoid synovial tissue. HA distribution was visualized by immunocytochemistry. MMP-1 and MMP-3 induction was analyzed by real-time RT-PCR and immunoblotting. The interaction between HAoligos and their MMP-producing receptors was tested by blocking with anti-CD44 and anti-Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4). Phosphorylation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) was analyzed by immunoblotting. RESULTS Endogenous HA decreased after treatment with HAoligos, while MMP-1 and MMP-3 expression increased in a dose-dependent manner. Pretreatment with anti-CD44 or anti-TLR-4 antibody significantly reduced the effect of HAoligos on MMP-1 and MMP-3 mRNA expression. NF-κB and p38 MAPK phosphorylation was enhanced by HAoligos pretreated with anti-TLR-4, and HAoligo-induced MMP production was blocked with an inhibitor of NF-κB and p38 MAPK pathways. CONCLUSIONS Disruptive changes in CD44-HA interactions by HAoligos enhanced MMP-1 and MMP-3 production via activation of NF-κB and p38 MAPK signaling pathways in RSFs.

Differential Expression of Extracellular Matrix and Adhesion Molecules in Fetal-Origin Amniotic Epithelial Cells of Preeclamptic Pregnancy. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0156038. [PMID: 27218821 PMCID: PMC4878795 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0156038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2015] [Accepted: 05/09/2016] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Preeclampsia is a common disease that can occur during human pregnancy and is a leading cause of both maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Inadequate trophoblast invasion and deficient remodeling of uterine spiral arteries are associated with preeclampsia (PE). The development of this syndrome is thought to be related to multiple factors. Recently, we isolated patient-specific human amniotic epithelial cells (AECs) from the placentas of 3 women with normal pregnancy and 3 with preeclamptic pregnancy. Since the characteristics of human AECs in PE are different from those in normal pregnancy, we sought to confirm the genes differentially expressed between preeclamptic pregnancy and normal pregnancy. Therefore, we performed transcriptome analysis to investigate the candidate genes associated with the possible pathophysiology of preeclampsia. Pathway analysis was performed using the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) online resource. In this study, we selected a total of 12 pathways and focused on extracellular matrix-related and biological adhesion molecules. Using RT-PCR array and real-time PCR, we confirmed that COL16A1, ITGB2, and LAMA3 were significantly up-regulated, but ITGA1, ITGA3, ITGA6, MMP1, MMP3, MMP10 and MMP11 were significantly down-regulated in preeclamptic fetal origin cells. Taken together, we suggest that the genes and pathways identified here may be responsible for the occurrence and development of PE, and controlling their expression may play a role in communication with fetal-maternal placenta to keep normal pregnancy.

Transient receptor potential canonical 5 (TRPC5) protects against pain and vascular inflammation in arthritis and joint inflammation. Ann Rheum Dis 2016; 76:252-260. [PMID: 27165180 PMCID: PMC5264234 DOI: 10.1136/annrheumdis-2015-208886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2015] [Revised: 04/06/2016] [Accepted: 04/09/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Objective Transient receptor potential canonical 5 (TRPC5) is functionally expressed on a range of cells including fibroblast-like synoviocytes, which play an important role in arthritis. A role for TRPC5 in inflammation has not been previously shown in vivo. We investigated the contribution of TRPC5 in arthritis. Methods Male wild-type and TRPC5 knockout (KO) mice were used in a complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced unilateral arthritis model, assessed over 14 days. Arthritis was determined by measurement of knee joint diameter, hindlimb weightbearing asymmetry and pain behaviour. Separate studies involved chronic pharmacological antagonism of TRPC5 channels. Synovium from human postmortem control and inflammatory arthritis samples were investigated for TRPC5 gene expression. Results At baseline, no differences were observed. CFA-induced arthritis resulted in increased synovitis in TRPC5 KO mice assessed by histology. Additionally, TRPC5 KO mice demonstrated reduced ispilateral weightbearing and nociceptive thresholds (thermal and mechanical) following CFA-induced arthritis. This was associated with increased mRNA expression of inflammatory mediators in the ipsilateral synovium and increased concentration of cytokines in synovial lavage fluid. Chronic treatment with ML204, a TRPC5 antagonist, augmented weightbearing asymmetry, secondary hyperalgesia and cytokine concentrations in the synovial lavage fluid. Synovia from human inflammatory arthritis demonstrated a reduction in TRPC5 mRNA expression. Conclusions Genetic deletion or pharmacological blockade of TRPC5 results in an enhancement in joint inflammation and hyperalgesia. Our results suggest that activation of TRPC5 may be associated with an endogenous anti-inflammatory/analgesic pathway in inflammatory joint conditions.

Neo-Epitopes--Fragments of Cartilage and Connective Tissue Degradation in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis and Unclassified Arthritis. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0149329. [PMID: 27019199 PMCID: PMC4809616 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0149329] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2015] [Accepted: 01/29/2016] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tissue destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is predominantly mediated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), thereby generating protein fragments. Previous studies have revealed that these fragments include MMP-mediated collagen type I, II, and III degradation, citrullinated and MMP-degraded vimentin and MMP degraded C-reactive protein. We evaluated if biomarkers measuring serum levels of specific sequences of the mentioned fragments would provide further information of diagnostic and/or prognostic processes in early arthritis. METHODS Ninety-two early arthritis patients (arthritis duration<1 year, DMARD naïve) were enrolled. Patients either fulfilled the ACR/EULAR2010 criteria for RA (n = 60) or had unclassified arthritis (UA) (n = 32). Patients fulfilling the RA criteria after 2 years follow-up were classified into non-erosive (n = 25), or erosive disease (n = 13). Concentrations of the biomarkers: C1M, C2M, C3M, VICM and CRPM were measured in baseline serum. RESULTS C1M, C3M and CRPM were able to discriminate between the UA and RA baseline diagnosis in 92 patients with an AUROC of 0.64 (95%CI 0.517 to 0.762), 0.73 (95%CI 0.622 to 0.838) and 0.68 (95%CI 0.570 to 0.795). C2M showed a potential for discrimination between non-erosive and erosive disease in 38 patients with an AUROC of 0.75 (95%CI 0.597 to 0.910). All of the applied biomarkers correlated with one or more of the disease activity parameters: DAS28, ESR, CRP, SJC66, TJC68 and/or HAQ. CONCLUSION This is the first study evaluating the applied biomarkers at this early stage of arthritis. C1M, C3M, CRPM might be the best diagnostic marker, whereas high levels of C2M indicated progression of disease at follow-up in early RA patients.

Abstract
The activity of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 in synovial fluids (SF) sampled from dogs with
joint disorders was investigated by gelatin zymography and densitometry. Pro-MMP-2 showed similar activity
levels in dogs with idiopathic polyarthritis (IPA; n=17) or canine rheumatoid arthritis (cRA;
n=4), and healthy controls (n=10). However, dogs with cranial cruciate
ligament rupture (CCLR; n=5) presented significantly higher pro-MMP-2 activity than IPA and
healthy dogs. Meanwhile, dogs with IPA exhibited significantly higher activity of pro- and active MMP-9 than
other groups. Activity levels in pro- and active MMP-9 in cRA and CCLR dogs were not significantly different
from those in healthy controls. Different patterns of MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity may reflect the differences in
the underlying pathological processes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), a marker of oxidative stress, are prevalent in many kinds of disorders. Osteoarthritis (OA), mainly resulting from the regression of cartilage, chronic inflammation of the synovium and the subchondral bone remodeling. Although the inflammatory response of AOPPs on fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) were reported, the effect of AOPPs on cartilage and synovial in vivo remains unclear. Therefore, our study aims to investigate whether AOPPs have an effect on the articular cartilage and synovial in a rabbit model of OA. METHODS OA model were created by anterior cruciate ligament transection and medial meniscus resection (ACLT + MMx). Forty-eight male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham-operated group, AOPPs/ACLT + MMx group, and phosphate buffered saline (PBS)/ACLT + MMx group. In sham-operated group, the anterior cruciate ligament was just exposed without transection, and then the incision was sutured. Then intra-articular injection of AOPPs or PBS was performed in the other two groups. Through four weeks and eight weeks of treatment, rabbits in each group were sacrificed. Both hind legs were removed. India ink staining and Safranin O and fast green staining were used to evaluate the macroscopic and microscopic cartilage morphology. The protein expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-3, MMP-13 in synovium was measured by Western blot. RESULT The India ink score and Mankin score of AOPPs/ACLT + MMx group were both higher than the other two groups at the two time points. Western blot have revealed that intra-articular injection of AOPPs upregulated the protein expression of MMP-3 and MMP-13 in synovium. CONCLUSION AOPPs participated in the occurrence and development of OA by upregulating the protein expression of MMP-3 and MMP-13 in synovium.

Abstract
Adiponectin is a circulating hormone with pleiotropic functions in lipid and glucose metabolism secreted by adipocytes. It plays a beneficial role in cardiovascular functions and metabolic complications. Recently, growing researches have elucidated that increased adiponectin plasma levels correlate with severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and it is speculative that adiponectin may link to RA. The association of adiponectin with potential inflammatory functions in RA has raised significant interests in exploring this adipokine as a target for RA-diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Despite significant advances in understanding adiponectin functions and signaling mechanisms, its roles in RA remain multifaceted and subject to controversy. This review highlights the evidences linking adiponectin to either anti-inflammatory or pro-inflammatory action in RA. The results of this review may provide important insight into adiponectin in the development of RA.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been known to play a pivotal role in the age- and/or disease-related degradation of intervertebral discs. We aimed to explore as to whether the expression of these enzymes is correlated to disc degeneration caused by increasing age and severity of herniation in the East Asian population. Thus, we studied the expressions of MMP-1 (collagenase), MMP-2 (gelatinase) and MMP-14 (membrane-type protease) in 65 patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to their age, and the severity of herniation was graded on the basis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Immunohistochemistry analysis was conducted to determine the expression of different MMPs in the post-surgery disc specimens. The results showed that expressions of these three enzymes were directly and positively related to the degree of disc degradation. Whereas, the MMP-1 expression was found to be elevated with the increasing age, the MMP-2 and MMP-14 remained unchanged in groups of different ages. A direct correlation between the expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-14 suggested a role of MMP-14 in the modulation of MMP-2 expression.

Abstract
The discovery of new therapeutic drugs with the ability of preventing inflammation and joint destruction with less adverse effects is extremely urgent for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Cryptotanshinone (CTS), an active component isolated from the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, has been reported to have antibacterial and antitumor effects. However, its effects on RA have not been clearly elucidated. Here, we investigated the therapeutic effect of CTS on type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in rats and explored the underlying mechanisms. Our results revealed that CTS treatment efficaciously ameliorated inflammation and joint destruction of rats with CIA. Both in vivo and in vitro studies showed that CTS suppressed the production of proinflammatory cytokines including interleukin 1β, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interleukin 17α production and downregulated the production and activity of matrix metalloproteinase 9. By receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) ligand-induced bone marrow macrophages, we observed that CTS could inhibit osteoclast differentiation, which is critic for joint destruction. Further studies on inflammatory signaling revealed that CTS could inhibit the degradation of inhibitor of NF-κB (IκB) α in vivo and in vitro, prevent the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 induced by lipopolysaccharide in a time- and dose-dependent manner. By electrophoretic mobility shift assay and luciferase reporter assay, we found that CTS distinctively inhibited the NF-κB DNA binding activity and NF-κB-dependent luciferase activity. These results indicate that the therapeutic effect of CTS on CIA is accomplished mainly through the inhibition of NF-κB signaling. Our findings provide the evidence to develop CTS as a potential therapeutic agent for patients with RA.

Abstract
The interleukin-1β-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and NF-κB signaling pathways are involved in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Ebosin, a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS), exhibits anti-inflammatory activity in rat collagen-induced arthritis by suppressing the production of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-1β. The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of ebosin on NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways mediated through interleukin-1β in rat fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs). Western blotting showed decreased production of phosphorylated p38, JNK1, JNK2, IKKα, IKKβ and IκB in the cytoplasm and NF-κB in the nucleus upon ebosin treatment. The DNA-binding activity of NF-κB in the cell nucleus was also inhibited by ebosin treatment, as demonstrated using an electrophoresis mobility gel shift assay. Analysis of the results of the immunofluorescence assay also showed a reduced amount of NF-κB in the nucleus of cells affected by ebosin. These results provided evidence for the effects of ebosin on both interleukin-1β-mediated MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways in rat FLSs. In addition, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay demonstrated that ebosin reduces the levels of matrix metalloproteinases MMP-1 and MMP-3 and the chemokines, interleukin-8 and RANTES. Thus, the results of the present study provide further evidence for understanding the medicinal activity of ebosin at a molecular level, therefore nominating this EPS as a potential therapeutic candidate for the treatment of rheumatic arthritis.Cellular & Molecular Immunology advance online publication, 4 May 2015; doi:10.1038/cmi.2015.36.

Abstract
Balneotherapy employing sulphurous thermal water is still applied to patients suffering from diseases of musculoskeletal system like osteoarthritis (OA) but evidence for its clinical effectiveness is scarce. Since the gasotransmitter hydrogen sulphide (H2S) seems to affect cells involved in degenerative joint diseases, it was the objective of this study to investigate the effects of exogenous H2S on fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS), which are key players in OA pathogenesis being capable of producing pro-inflammatory cytokines and matrix degrading enzymes. To address this issue primary FLS derived from OA patients were stimulated with IL-1β and treated with the H2S donor NaHS. Cellular responses were analysed by ELISA, quantitative real-time PCR, phospho-MAPkinase array and Western blotting. Treatment-induced effects on cellular structure and synovial architecture were investigated in three-dimensional extracellular matrix micromasses. NaHS treatment reduced both spontaneous and IL-1β-induced secretion of IL-6, IL-8 and RANTES in different experimental settings. In addition, NaHS treatment reduced the expression of matrix metallo-proteinases MMP-2 and MMP-14. IL-1β induced the phosphorylation of several MAPkinases. NaHS treatment partially reduced IL-1β-induced activation of several MAPK whereas it increased phosphorylation of pro-survival factor Akt1/2. When cultured in spherical micromasses, FLS intentionally established a synovial lining layer-like structure; stimulation with IL-1β altered the architecture of micromasses leading to hyperplasia of the lining layer which was completely inhibited by concomitant exposure to NaHS. These data suggest that H2S partially antagonizes IL-1β stimulation via selective manipulation of the MAPkinase and the PI3K/Akt pathways which may encourage development of novel drugs for treatment of OA.

Abstract
Despite the recent expansion of peptide drugs, delivery remains a challenge due to poor localization and rapid clearance. Therefore, a hydrogel-based platform technology was developed to control and sustain peptide drug release via matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity. Specifically, hydrogels were composed of poly(ethylene glycol) and peptide drugs flanked by MMP substrates and terminal cysteine residues as crosslinkers. First, peptide drug bioactivity was investigated in expected released forms (e.g., with MMP substrate residues) in vitro prior to incorporation into hydrogels. Three peptides (Qk (from Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor), SPARC113, and SPARC118 (from Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine)) retained bioactivity and were used as hydrogel crosslinkers in full MMP degradable forms. Upon treatment with MMP2, hydrogels containing Qk, SPARC113, and SPARC118 degraded in 6.7, 6, and 1 days, and released 5, 8, and, 19% of peptide, respectively. Further investigation revealed peptide drug size controlled hydrogel swelling and degradation rate, while hydrophobicity impacted peptide release. Additionally, Qk, SPARC113, and SPARC118 releasing hydrogels increased endothelial cell tube formation 3.1, 1.7, and 2.8-fold, respectively. While pro-angiogenic peptides were the focus of this study, the design parameters detailed allow for adaptation of hydrogels to control peptide release for a variety of therapeutic applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is an enzyme with proteolytic activity against matrix proteins, particularly basement membrane constituents. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at -1306, which disrupts a Sp1-type promoter site (CCACC box), results in strikingly lower promoter activity with the T allele. In the present study, we investigated whether this MMP-2 genetic polymorphism might be associated with susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC) in the Saudi population. We also analyzed MMP-2 gene expression level sin CRC patients and 4 different cancer cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS TaqMan allele discrimination assays and DNA sequencing techniques were used to investigate the C-1306T SNP in the MMP-2 gene of Saudi colorectal cancer patients and controls. The MMP-2 gene expression level was also determined in 12 colon cancer tissue samples collected from unrelated patients and histologically normal tissues distant from tumor margins. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The MMP-2 C-1306T SNP in the promoter region was associated with CRC in our Saudi population and the MMP-2 gene expression level was found to be 10 times higher in CRC patients. The MMP-2 C-1306T SNP is significantly associated with CRC in the Saudi population and this finding suggested that MMP-2 variants might help predict CRC progression risk among Saudis. We propose that analysis of this gene polymorphism could assist in identification of patient subgroups at risk of a poor disease outcome.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Keloid lesions form because of alterations in the mechanisms that govern cutaneous wound healing. Although matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in keloid pathophysiology, many questions still remain about their involvement. Our incomplete understanding of keloid pathophysiology has led to high recurrence rates in current treatments. No reliable animal model is available for studying keloids. OBJECTIVE To gain a better understanding of the disease mechanisms involved in keloid lesions in the hopes of identifying therapeutic options. DESIGN Fibroblasts derived from keloid tissue were incorporated in either Matrigel or polyethylene glycol diacrylate mixed with type I collagen to create 3-dimensional models to investigate the role MMPs play in keloid formation. The MMP gene expressions were also compared between fibroblasts isolated from different sites within the same keloid lesion. SETTING The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland. PARTICIPANTS Keloid fibroblasts were received from the Baylor College of Medicine, and additional keloid fibroblasts were enzymatically isolated from the dermal layer of lesions removed from consenting patients at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. RESULTS In the Matrigel system, MMP9 and MMP13 were observed to be significantly upregulated in keloid fibroblasts. The addition of decorin resulted in a significant decrease of type I collagen and MMP1, MMP9, and MMP13 gene expressions from keloid fibroblasts. Higher MMP gene expressions were observed in fibroblasts isolated from the margins of the original keloid wound. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE MMP9 and MMP13 are expressed significantly more in keloid-derived cells, thus making them 2 potential targets for disease modification. Molecules that target organization of the lesion's matrix can be beneficial in downregulating increased markers during the disease. In addition, heterogeneity is observed with the varying MMP gene expressions from site-specific fibroblasts within the same keloid lesion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of endogenous matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 (MMP-2 and MMP-9) on the invasive characteristics of RA synovial fibroblasts. METHODS Synovial fibroblasts isolated from patients with RA or OA were treated with MMP small interfering RNA (siRNA), inhibitors and recombinant proteins or TNF-α, with or without cartilage explants. Cell viability and proliferation were measured by 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide and 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) proliferation assays, respectively; apoptosis by an in situ cell death detection kit; migration and invasion by CytoSelect invasion assay, scratch migration and collagen gel assays; cartilage degradation by 1,9-dimethylmethylene blue assay; and inflammatory mediators and MMPs by ELISA, western blot and zymography. RESULTS MMP-2 was expressed by both OA and RA synovial fibroblasts, whereas only RA synovial fibroblasts expressed MMP-9. Suppressing MMP-2 or MMP-9 reduced RA synovial fibroblast proliferation equally. However, MMP-9 siRNA had greater effects compared with MMP-2 siRNA on promoting apoptosis and suppressing RA synovial fibroblast viability, migration and invasion. Suppression/inhibition of MMP-9 also decreased the production of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α, inactivated nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) and suppressed RA synovial fibroblast-mediated cartilage degradation. In contrast, suppression/inhibition of MMP-2 stimulated TNF-α and IL-17 secretion and activated NF-κB, while recombinant MMP-2 (rMMP-2) inactivated NF-κB and suppressed RA synovial fibroblast-mediated cartilage degradation. Results using specific inhibitors and rMMPs provided supportive evidence for the siRNA results. CONCLUSION Endogenous MMP-2 or MMP-9 contribute to RA synovial fibroblast survival, proliferation, migration and invasion, with MMP-9 having more potent effects. Additionally, MMP-9 stimulates RA synovial fibroblast-mediated inflammation and degradation of cartilage, whereas MMP-2 inhibits these parameters. Overall, our data indicate that MMP-9 derived from RA synovial fibroblasts may directly contribute to joint destruction in RA.

Abstract
Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with structural progression are in most need of immediate treatment to maintain tissue integrity. The serum protein fingerprint, type I collagen degradation mediated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-cleavage (C1M), is a biomarker of tissue destruction. We investigated whether baseline serum C1M levels could identify structural progressors and if the biomarker levels changed during anti-inflammatory treatment with tocilizumab (TCZ). Methods The LITHE-biomarker study (NCT00106535, n = 585) was a one-year phase III, double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled, parallel group study of TCZ 4 or 8 mg/kg every four weeks, in RA patients on stable doses of methotrexate (MTX). Spearman's ranked correlation was used to assess the correlation between baseline C1M levels and structural progression at baseline and at weeks 24 and 52. Multivariate regression was performed for delta structural progression. Change in C1M levels were studied as a function of time and treatment. Results At baseline, C1M was significantly correlated to C-reactive protein (P <0.0001), visual analog scale pain (P <0.0001), disease activity score28-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) (P <0.0001), joint space narrowing (JSN) (P = 0.0056) and modified total Sharp score (mTSS) (P = 0.0006). Baseline C1M was significantly correlated with delta-JSN at Week 24 (R2 = 0.09, P = 0.0001) and at Week 52 (R2 = 0.27, P <0.0001), and with delta-mTSS at 24 weeks (R2 = 0.006, P = 0.0015) and strongly at 52 weeks (R2 = 0.013, P <0.0001) in the PBO group. C1M levels were dose-dependently reduced in the TCZ + MTX group. Conclusions Baseline C1M levels correlated with worsening joint structure over one year. Serum C1M levels may enable identification of those RA patients that are in most need of aggressive treatment Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00106535

Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2 and 9 are a group of Zn2+-dependent endopeptidases to remodel the extracellular matrix. The association of these 2 endopeptidases with the development of morphologic changes in nasal polyps was previously described. OBJECTIVE To determine whether MMP-2, MMP-9, and tissue inhibitor of MMP-1 (TIMP-1) play a role in the recurrence of nasal polyps. METHODS To compare MMP-2, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 expression in recurrent vs nonrecurrent polyps, nasal polyps (NPs) and recurrent nasal polyps (RNPs) were obtained from 15 NP patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and 15 RNP patients with CRS undergoing revision ESS. Fifteen specimens of inferior turbinate mucosa from patients undergoing nasal septal surgery were used as control. Through real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry, MMP-2, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 expressions were measured among controls, NP patients, and RNP patients. RESULTS Expression of MMP-9 messenger RNA in the NP patients was significantly higher than in the controls. In addition, expression of MMP-9 messenger RNA in the RNP patents was significantly increased compared with NP patients. With immunohistochemistry, a more increased expression of MMP-9 was observed in NP patients than controls. Expression of MMP-9 in RNP patients was also significantly high compared with NP patients, particularly in stroma. CONCLUSION Expression of MMP-9 is increased in NP patients, and it is so more in the mucosa of RNP patients. Increased expression of MMP-9 is particularly found in the stoma of RNP patients, and it may contribute to the recurrence of NP.

Abstract
Mouse mast cell protease (mMCP)-6-null C57BL/6 mice lost less aggrecan proteoglycan from the extracellular matrix of their articular cartilage during inflammatory arthritis than wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice, suggesting that this mast cell (MC)-specific mouse tryptase plays prominent roles in articular cartilage catabolism. We used ex vivo mouse femoral head explants to determine how mMCP-6 and its human ortholog hTryptase-β mediate aggrecanolysis. Exposure of the explants to recombinant hTryptase-β, recombinant mMCP-6, or lysates harvested from WT mouse peritoneal MCs (PMCs) significantly increased the levels of enzymatically active matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) in cartilage and significantly induced aggrecan loss into the conditioned media, relative to replicate explants exposed to medium alone or lysates collected from mMCP-6-null PMCs. Treatment of cartilage explants with tetramer-forming tryptases generated aggrecan fragments that contained C-terminal DIPEN and N-terminal FFGVG neoepitopes, consistent with MMP-dependent aggrecanolysis. In support of these data, hTryptase-β was unable to induce aggrecan release from the femoral head explants obtained from Chloe mice that resist MMP cleavage at the DIPEN↓FFGVG site in the interglobular domain of aggrecan. In addition, the abilities of mMCP-6-containing lysates from WT PMCs to induce aggrecanolysis were prevented by inhibitors of MMP-3 and MMP-13. Finally, recombinant hTryptase-β was able to activate latent pro-MMP-3 and pro-MMP-13 in vitro. The accumulated data suggest that human and mouse tetramer-forming tryptases are MMP convertases that mediate cartilage damage and the proteolytic loss of aggrecan proteoglycans in arthritis, in part, by activating the zymogen forms of MMP-3 and MMP-13, which are constitutively present in articular cartilage.

Abstract
Previous studies demonstrated that Se has anti-inflammatory activities and that it plays an important role in maintaining normal cartilage metabolism. Nevertheless, little is known about the effects of Se on the production of inflammatory mediators in rheumatoid fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs). The objective of this study was to determine the effects of Se on the interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced proliferation of FLSs and production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and inflammatory mediators by FLSs. In this study, the proliferation of FLSs was assessed using the MTT assay after cultured with/without the presence of IL-1β and SeMet. Human FLSs were pretreated with SeMet (0.5 μM) and subsequently stimulated with IL-1β (5 ng/ml) for 24 h. Production of NO and PGE2 were evaluated by the Griess reaction and ELISA. Gene expression of MMP-3, MMP-13, iNOS, and COX-2 was measured by real-time PCR. MMP-3 and MMP-13 proteins in culture medium were determined using cytokine-specific ELISA. Western immunoblotting was used to analyze the iNOS and COX-2 protein production in the culture medium and the activity of phosphorylation of P38 MAPK pathways. We found that SeMet significantly inhibits IL-1β-induced proliferation of FLSs. SeMet also inhibited the production of PGE2 and NO induced by IL-1β. SeMet significantly decreased IL-1β-stimulated gene expression and production of MMP-3, MMP-13, iNOS, and COX-2 in human FLSs. In addition, we found SeMet partly inhibited the IL-1β-induced activation of p38 MAPK pathways. The present report is first to demonstrate that SeMet inhibits IL-1β-induced expression of MMPs and production of inflammatory factors in cultured FLSs, indicating that SeMet may be a potential agent in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
