Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) of articular cartilage is comprised of complex networks of proteins and glycoproteins, all of which are expressed by its resident cell, the chondrocyte. Cartilage is a unique tissue given its complexity and ability to resist repeated load and deformation. The mechanisms by which articular cartilage maintains its integrity throughout our lifetime is not fully understood, however there are numerous regulatory pathways known to govern ECM turnover in response to mechanical stimuli. To further our understanding of this field, we envision that proteomic analysis of the secretome will provide information on how the chondrocyte remodels the surrounding ECM in response to load, in addition to providing information on the metabolic state of the cell. In this review, we attempt to summarize the recent mass spectrometry-based proteomic discoveries in healthy and diseased cartilage and chondrocytes, to facilitate the discovery of novel biomarkers linked to degenerative pathologies, such as osteoarthritis (OA).

[PMID: 28912864 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2017.4849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2016] [Accepted: 04/28/2017] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
It has been demonstrated that oral administration of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) alleviates the symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA). The aim of the present study was to elucidate the molecular mechanisms for the chondroprotective action of GlcNAc in OA. Biomarkers for type II collagen degradation and synthesis were evaluated, as were histopathological changes, using a rat anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT)-induced OA model. Changes in the expression of genes in the cartilage were assessed via DNA microarray and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The results indicated that ACLT induced histopathological changes of articular cartilage, whereas oral administration of GlcNAc (1,000 mg/kg/day for 28 days) significantly suppressed these changes. Additionally, GlcNAc significantly decreased levels of a type II collagen degradation marker in sera compared with that in the ACLT group, although there were no significant changes in the levels of a type II collagen synthesis marker. Furthermore, DNA microarray and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction results demonstrated that GlcNAc treatment downregulated the expression of periostin, which is likely involved in the degradation of cartilage, whereas GlcNAc upregulated the expression of lipocalin 2, which is involved in the regulation of chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggest that GlcNAc is able to suppress the histopathological changes induced by OA and exhibits a chondroprotective action by inhibiting type II collagen degradation in the articular cartilage, possibly via modulation of the expression of inflammatory and chondroprotective molecules, including periostin and lipocalin 2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phosphocitrate (PC) inhibits osteoarthritis (OA) in Hartley guinea pigs. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. OBJECTIVE This study sought to examine the biological effect of PC on OA chondrocytes and test the hypothesis that PC may exert its OA disease modifying effect, in part, by inhibiting the expression of genes implicated in OA disease process and stimulating the production of extracellular matrices. METHOD OA chondrocytes were cultured in the absence or presence of PC. Total RNA was extracted and subjected to microarray analyses. The effect of PC on proliferation and chondrocyte-mediated calcification were examined in monolayer culture. The effect of PC on the production of extracellular matrices was examined in micromass culture. RESULTS PC downregulated the expression of numerous genes classified in proliferation and apoptosis while upregulating the expression of many genes classified in transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) receptor signaling pathway and ossification. PC also downregulated the expressions of many genes classified in inflammatory response and Wnt receptor signaling pathways. Consistent with its effect on the expression of genes classified in proliferation, ossification, and skeletal development, PC inhibited the proliferation of OA chondrocytes and chondrocyte-mediated calcification while stimulating the production of extracellular matrices. CONCLUSION PC may exert its OA disease modifying effect, in part, through a crystal-independent mechanism or by inhibiting the expressions of many genes implicated in OA disease process, and at the same time, stimulating the expression of genes implicated in chondroprotection and production of extracellular matrices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periostin (POSTN) is a protein that binds to integrins to support adhesion and migration of epithelial cells. Mice lacking this gene exhibit cardiac valve disease as well as skeletal and dental defects. Recent studies indicated that periostin is involved in the pathogenesis and progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). We investigated the influence of periostin and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) on OA synoviocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS OA patients were classified according to the Kellgren-Lawrence system and the levels of periostin, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13 and transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) in the synovial fluid were measured. MMPs or tissue inhibitor of MMPs (TIMPs) with periostin in cultured cells were measured when periostin was added to OA-associated synovial cells. Dexamethasone, a steroid medication which shows immunosuppressive effects, was used to investigate the influence of the downstream cascade. RESULTS Periostin and IL-13 levels were up-regulated during the progression of OA. MMP-2 and MMP-3 levels increased in a periostin concentration-dependent manner. Increase in MMP-2 and MMP-3 levels was inhibited by dexamethasone treatment. CONCLUSION In vivo results herein indicate that IL-13 may induce periostin production in OA. Furthermore, periostin may facilitate MMP production in OA-associated synovial cells.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effect of mechanical stress on periostin and semaphorin-3A expression in a murine model of postmenopausal osteoporosis and in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Female mice were divided into three groups and treated with a sham operation, ovariectomy (OVX) or OVX plus treadmill training (OVX+Run). After 10 weeks, tibias were used for histological analysis. MC3T3-E1 cells were burdened by mechanical stress using a centrifuge or were treated with periostin, and the production of biologically-active semaphorin-3A was examined in vitro. RESULTS In OVX+Run group tibias, the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteoclasts was lower than in the OVX group, and the expression of periostin and semaphorin-3A was higher. In MC3T3-E1 cells, centrifugal stress significantly increased periostin and semaphorin-3A mRNA expression. Treatment with periostin increased the semaphorin-3A level. CONCLUSION We speculate that mechanical load may increase periostin production in osteoblasts, and periostin may inhibit osteoclast differentiation by its effects on semaphorin-3A. Our results support the concept of a positive correlation between exercise and inhibition of osteoclasts in post-menopausal osteoporosis.
