Abstract
As extracellular proteins age, they undergo and accumulate nonenzymatic post-translational modifications that cannot be repaired. We hypothesized that these could be used to systemically monitor loss of extracellular matrix due to chronic arthritic diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA). To test this, we predicted sites of deamidation in cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and confirmed, by mass spectroscopy, the presence of deamidated (Asp(64)) and native (Asn(64)) COMP epitopes (mean 0.95% deamidated COMP (D-COMP) relative to native COMP) in cartilage. An Asp(64), D-COMP-specific ELISA was developed using a newly created monoclonal antibody 6-1A12. In a joint replacement study, serum D-COMP (p = 0.017), but not total COMP (p = 0.5), declined significantly after replacement demonstrating a joint tissue source for D-COMP. In analyses of 450 participants from the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project controlled for age, gender, and race, D-COMP was associated with radiographic hip (p < 0.0001) but not knee (p = 0.95) OA severity. In contrast, total COMP was associated with radiographic knee (p < 0.0001) but not hip (p = 0.47) OA severity. D-COMP was higher in soluble proteins extracted from hip cartilage proximal to OA lesions compared with remote from lesions (p = 0.007) or lesional and remote OA knee (p < 0.01) cartilage. Total COMP in cartilage did not vary by joint site or proximity to the lesion. This study demonstrates the presence of D-COMP in articular cartilage and the systemic circulation, and to our knowledge, it is the first biomarker to show specificity for a particular joint site. We believe that enrichment of deamidated epitope in hip OA cartilage indicates a lesser repair response of hip OA compared with knee OA cartilage.

Serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (sCOMP) is elevated in patients with knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2011; 19:1396-404. [PMID: 22001901 PMCID: PMC3962955 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2011.09.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 58] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2011] [Revised: 09/15/2011] [Accepted: 09/23/2011] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To be used in diagnostic studies, it must be demonstrated that biomarkers can differentiate between diseased and non-diseased patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to answer the following questions: (1) Is serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (sCOMP) elevated in patients with radiographically diagnosed knee osteoarthritis (OA) compared to controls? (2) Are there differences in sCOMP levels when comparing differing radiographic OA severities to controls? METHODS Systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES A systematic search of CINAHL, PEDro, Medline, and SportsDiscus was completed in March 2010. KEYWORDS knee, osteoarthritis, sCOMP, radiography. Study inclusion criteria: Studies were written in English, compared healthy adults with knee OA patients, used the Kellgren Lawrence (K/L) classification, measured sCOMP, and reported means and standard deviations for sCOMP. RESULTS For question 1, seven studies were included resulting in seven comparisons. A moderate overall effect size (ES) indicated sCOMP was consistently elevated in those with radiographically diagnosed knee OA when compared to controls (ES = 0.60, P < 0.001). For question 2, four studies were included resulting in 13 comparisons between radiographic OA severity levels and controls. Strong ESs were calculated for K/L-1 (ES = 1.43, P = 0.28), K/L-3 (ES = 1.05, P = 0.04), and K/L-4 (ES = 1.40, P = 0.003). A moderate ES was calculated for K/L-2 (ES = 0.60, P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS These results indicate sCOMP is elevated in patients with knee OA and is sensitive to OA disease progression. Future research studies with a higher level of evidence should be conducted to investigate the use of this biomarker as an indicator for OA development and progression.

Identification and characterization of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein as a novel pathogenic factor in keloids. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2011; 179:1951-60. [PMID: 21872564 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajpath.2011.06.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2010] [Revised: 06/15/2011] [Accepted: 06/22/2011] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
To elucidate pathogenic molecules in keloids, microarray analysis was performed using RNAs extracted from keloid-derived fibroblasts and normal skin-derived fibroblasts from the same patient with a typical keloid. Among 11 up-regulated extracellular matrix genes, cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) was most prominently increased. Up-regulation of COMP mRNA and protein was confirmed in the keloid tissue by quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot. Using immunohistochemistry, we compared 15 keloids and 6 control normal tissues using a COMP-specific antibody and found that COMP stained positively in 10 keloids (66.7%), whereas no staining was observed in normal tissues, demonstrating the ectopic expression of COMP in keloids. Comparing keloids smaller or larger than 10 cm(2), the larger keloids were significantly more intensely stained with the COMP-specific antibody. Because COMP reportedly accelerates collagen type I fibril assembly, we examined whether extracellular type I collagen deposition is altered by silencing COMP mRNA by small interfering RNA (siRNA). Immunocytochemistry showed at 96 hours after transfection with COMP siRNA that the extracellular deposition of type I collagen was decreased compared to that observed with control siRNA. Further, COMP knockdown decreased amount collagens type I to V in the medium and on the cell surfaces. Our data suggest that COMP facilitates keloid formation by accelerating collagen deposition, thus providing a new therapeutic target.

Deformational behaviour of knee cartilage and changes in serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) after running and drop landing. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2011; 19:1003-10.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate (1) the effect of running and drop landing interventions on knee cartilage deformation and serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) concentration and (2) if the changes in cartilage volume correlate with the changes in serum COMP level. METHODS Knee joint cartilage volume and thickness were determined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as well as COMP concentration from serum samples before and after in vivo loading of 14 healthy adults (seven male and seven female). Participants performed different loading interventions of 30 min duration on three different days: (1) 100 vertical drop landings from a 73 cm high platform, (2) running at a velocity of 2.2m/s (3.96 km), and (3) resting on a chair. Blood samples were taken immediately before, immediately after and 0.5h, 1h, 2h and 3h post intervention. Pre- and post-loading coronal and axial gradient echo MR images with fat suppression were used to determine the patellar, tibial and femoral cartilage deformation. RESULTS Serum COMP levels increased immediately after the running (+30.7%, pre: 7.3U/l, 95% confidence interval (CI): 5.6, 8.9, post: 9.1U/l, 95% CI: 7.2, 11.0, P=0.001) and after drop landing intervention (+32.3%, pre: 6.8U/l, 95% CI: 5.3, 8.4; post: 8.9U/l, 95% CI: 6.8, 10.9, P=0.001). Cartilage deformation was more pronounced after running compared to drop landing intervention, with being significant (volume: P=0.002 and thickness: P=0.001) only in the lateral tibia. We found a significant correlation (r(2)=0.599, P=0.001) between changes in serum COMP (%) and in cartilage volume (%) after the drop landing intervention, but not after running. CONCLUSIONS In vivo exercise interventions differentially regulate serum COMP concentrations and knee cartilage deformations. The relation between changes in COMP and in cartilage volume seems to depend on both mechanical and biochemical factors.

The role of synovial fluid markers of catabolism and anabolism in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and asymptomatic organ donors. Arthritis Res Ther 2011; 13:R50. [PMID: 21435227 PMCID: PMC3132039 DOI: 10.1186/ar3293] [Citation(s) in RCA: 71] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2010] [Revised: 02/09/2011] [Accepted: 03/24/2011] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction The purpose of this study was to correlate the level of anabolic and catabolic biomarkers in synovial fluid (SF) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and asymptomatic organ donors. Methods SF was collected from the knees of 45 OA, 22 RA patients and 20 asymptomatic organ donors. Eight biomarkers were selected and analyzed by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-11; leukemia-inhibitory factor (LIF); cartilage oligomeric protein (COMP); osteocalcin; and osteogenic protein 1 (OP-1). Data are expressed as medians (interquartile ranges). The effects of sex and disease activity were assessed on the basis of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities index score for patients with OA and on the basis of white blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein level for patients with RA. Results The mean ages (± SD) of the patients were as follows: 53 ± 9 years for patients with OA, 54 ± 11 years for patients with RA and 52 ± 7 years for asymptomatic organ donors. No effect of participants' sex was identified. In the SF of patients with RA, four of five cytokines were higher than those in the SF of patients with OA and those of asymptomatic organ donors. The most significant differences were found for IL-6 and IL-8, where IL-6 concentration in SF of patients with RA was almost threefold higher than that in patients with OA and fourfold higher than that in asymptomatic donor controls: 354.7 pg/ml (1,851.6) vs. 119.4 pg/ml (193.2) vs. 86.97 pg/ml (82.0) (P < 0.05 and P < 0.05, respectively). IL-8 concentrations were higher in SF of patients with RA than that in patients with OA as well as that in asymptomatic donor controls: 583.6 pg/ml (1,086.4) vs. 429 pg/ml (87.3) vs. 451 pg/ml (170.1) (P < 0.05 and P < 0.05, respectively). No differences were found for IL-11 in the SF of patients with RA and that of patients with OA, while a 1.4-fold difference was detected in the SF of patients with OA and that of asymptomatic donor controls: 296.2 pg/ml (257.2) vs. 211.6 pg/ml (40.8) (P < 0.05). IL-1 concentrations were the highest in the SF of RA patients (9.26 pg/ml (11.1)); in the SF of asymptomatic donors, it was significantly higher than that in patients with OA (9.083 pg/ml (1.6) vs. 7.76 pg/ml (2.6); P < 0.05). Conversely, asymptomatic donor control samples had the highest LIF concentrations: 228.5 pg/ml (131.6) vs. 128.4 pg/ml (222.7) in the SF of patients with RA vs. 107.5 pg/ml (136.9) in the SF of patients with OA (P < 0.05). OP-1 concentrations were twofold higher in the SF of patients with RA than those in patients with OA and threefold higher than those in asymptomatic donor control samples (167.1 ng/ml (194.8) vs. 81.79 ng/ml (116.0) vs. 54.49 ng/ml (29.3), respectively; P < 0.05). The differences in COMP and osteocalcin were indistinguishable between the groups, as were the differences between active and inactive OA and RA. Conclusions Activation of selected biomarkers corresponds to the mechanisms that drive each disease. IL-11, LIF and OP-1 may be viewed as a cluster of biomarkers significant for OA; while profiling of IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, LIF and OP-1 may be more significant in RA. Larger, better-defined patient cohorts are necessary to develop a biomarker algorithm for prognostic use.

Abstract
The search for biomarkers in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been the object of interesting research in the past few years, although results have not always been relevant. Several biomarkers, from several different locations (blood, urine, synovial fluid, synovial tissue) and of different nature (autoantibodies, genetic markers, joint remodeling markers), and related to different outcomes, diagnostic and prognostic markers (joint destruction, disability, lack of remission, mortality, response to anti-rheumatic treatment, etc.) have been studied. The present article reviews research only on soluble biomarkers, mainly those in serum, related to the diagnosis and joint destruction in RA.

Abstract
This study employed a targeted high-throughput proteomic approach to identify the major proteins present in the secretome of articular cartilage. Explants from equine metacarpophalangeal joints were incubated alone or with interleukin-1beta (IL-1β, 10ng/ml), with or without carprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, for six days. After tryptic digestion of culture medium supernatants, resulting peptides were separated by HPLC and detected in a Bruker amaZon ion trap instrument. The five most abundant peptides in each MS scan were fragmented and the fragmentation patterns compared to mammalian entries in the Swiss-Prot database, using the Mascot search engine. Tryptic peptides originating from aggrecan core protein, cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), fibronectin, fibromodulin, thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), clusterin (CLU), cartilage intermediate layer protein-1 (CILP-1), chondroadherin (CHAD) and matrix metalloproteinases MMP-1 and MMP-3 were detected. Quantitative western blotting confirmed the presence of CILP-1, CLU, MMP-1, MMP-3 and TSP-1. Treatment with IL-1β increased MMP-1, MMP-3 and TSP-1 and decreased the CLU precursor but did not affect CILP-1 and CLU levels. Many of the proteins identified have well-established extracellular matrix functions and are involved in early repair/stress responses in cartilage. This high throughput approach may be used to study the changes that occur in the early stages of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the utility of entheseal ultrasonography and serum COMP in the preclinical diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. Methods: 60 psoriatic patients were divided into: 30 patients with psoriasis (group I) and 30 patients with psoriatic arthritis as control (group II). They underwent independent clinical and ultrasonographic examination of both lower limbs at the calcaneal insertions of Achilles tendons. Psoriatic arthritis disease activity and severity was assessed by modified DAS28 and Steinbrockers scores. Serum levels of COMP were measured for all patients by ELISA. Results: On clinical examination, no entheseal abnormalities were detected in group I while they were present in 23.3% of group II with statistically significant difference between them (P < 0.001). Ultrasonographic entheseal abnormalities were detected in 33.3% of group I and in 46.7% of group II with no significant difference between them (P > 0.05). Serum COMP were significantly elevated in group I and II with no statistically significant difference between them (mean ± SD 5.9 ± 3 and 6.8 ± 12 respectively, P > 0.05). Entheseal ultrasound was more specific (67%) while serum COMP was more sensitive (87%) in the preclinical diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. Serum COMP levels were significantly correlated with CRP in both groups and with DAS28 and Steinbrockers scores in group II (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Entheseal ultrasonography and serum COMP levels may be used complementary to each other for preclinical diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. Serum COMP seems to be promising prognostic marker for psoriatic arthritis patients.
