Abstract
Metabolic syndrome is a risk factor for osteoarthritis. Elevated leptin levels have been implicated as a potential cause of this association. Previous studies have shown that supra-physiological leptin concentrations can induce osteoarthritis-like changes in chondrocyte phenotype. Here, we tested the effects of leptin in the concentration range found in synovial fluid on chondrocyte phenotype. Chondrocytes isolated from macroscopically normal regions of cartilage within osteoarthritic joints from patients undergoing knee arthroplasty, all with body mass index >30 kg/m2 were treated with 2-40 ng/ml leptin for 24 h. Chondrocyte phenotype marker expression was measured by RT-qPCR and western blot. The role of HES1 in mediating the effects of leptin was determined by gene knockdown using RNAi and over-expression using adenoviral-mediated gene delivery. Treatment of chondrocytes with 20 or 40 ng/ml leptin resulted in decreased SOX9 levels and decreased levels of the SOX9-target genes COL2A1 and ACAN. Levels of HES1 were lower and ADAMTS5 higher in chondrocytes treated with 20 or 40 ng/ml leptin. HES1 knockdown resulted in increased ADAMTS5 expression whereas over-expression of HES1 prevented the leptin-induced increase in ADAMTS5. An increase in MMP13 expression was only evident in chondrocytes treated with 40 ng/ml leptin and was not mediated by HES1 activity. High concentrations of leptin can cause changes in chondrocyte phenotype consistent with those seen in osteoarthritis. Synovial fluid leptin concentrations of this level are typically observed in patients with metabolic syndrome and/or women, suggesting elevated leptin levels may form part of the multifactorial network that leads to osteoarthritis development in these patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Metabolic syndrome (MetS), also called the 'deadly quartet' comprising obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, has been ascertained to have a causal role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). This review is aimed at discussing the current knowledge on the contribution of metabolic syndrome and its various components to OA pathogenesis and progression. RECENT FINDINGS Lately, an increased association identified between the various components of metabolic syndrome (obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension) with OA has led to the identification of the 'metabolic phenotype' of OA. These metabolic perturbations alongside low-grade systemic inflammation have been identified to inflict detrimental effects upon multiple tissues of the joint including cartilage, bone, and synovium leading to complete joint failure in OA. Recent epidemiological and clinical findings affirm that adipokines significantly contribute to inflammation, tissue degradation, and OA pathogenesis mediated through multiple signaling pathways. OA is no longer perceived as just a 'wear and tear' disease and the involvement of the metabolic components in OA pathogenesis adds up to the complexity of the disease. Given the global surge in obesity and its allied metabolic perturbations, this review aims to throw light on the current knowledge on the pathophysiology of MetS-associated OA and the need to address MetS in the context of metabolic OA management. Better regulation of the constituent factors of MetS could be profitable in preventing MetS-associated OA. The identification of key roles for several metabolic regulators in OA pathogenesis has also opened up newer avenues in the recognition and development of novel therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Sustained-release drug-loaded microspheres provide a long-acting sustained release, with targeted and other effects. There are many types of sustained-release drug microspheres and various preparation methods, and they are easy to operate. For these reasons, they have attracted widespread interest and are widely used in tissue engineering and other fields. In this paper, we provide a systematic review of the application of sustained-release drug microspheres in tissue engineering. First, we introduce this new type of drug delivery system (sustained-release drug carriers), describe the types of sustained-release drug microspheres, and summarize the characteristics of different microspheres. Second, we summarize the preparation methods of sustained-release drug microspheres and summarize the materials required for preparing microspheres. Third, various applications of sustained-release drug microspheres in tissue engineering are summarized. Finally, we summarize the shortcomings and discuss future prospects in the development of sustained-release drug microspheres. The purpose of this paper was to provide a further systematic understanding of the application of sustained-release drug microspheres in tissue engineering for the personnel engaged in related fields and to provide inspiration and new ideas for studies in related fields.

Effects of the Leptin-Mediated MAPK/ERK Signaling Pathway on Collagen II Expression in Knee Cartilage of Newborn Male Mice from Obese Maternal Offspring. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12030477. [PMID: 35327669 PMCID: PMC8946789 DOI: 10.3390/biom12030477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2022] [Revised: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 03/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Epidemiological data suggest that various noncommunicable diseases develop as a result of altered maternal metabolic and physiological status due to exposure to several adverse factors during pregnancy. However, evidence for intrauterine exposure factors and mechanisms underlying the origin of early cartilage disease in chronic osteoarthritic disease is still lacking. In this study, we found that persistent overnutrition during pregnancy in obese mothers led to cartilage damage in neonatal male mice. This was mainly characterized by increased apoptosis with decreased expression of chondrocyte collagen II and low expression of Runx family transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and SRY-box transcription factor 9 (SOX9). This reduction was also found to be associated with high leptin expression in newborn male mice of obese maternal offspring. Furthermore, the administration of leptin and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) inhibitors in primary chondrocytes showed that leptin mediated MAPK/ERK signaling activation and thus affected the key regulators of cartilage matrix metallopeptidase 1 (MMP1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1), thereby altering the expression of collagen II in mouse cartilage. Altogether, this study provided insights into the molecular mechanisms of cartilage-related disease development and also new clues and evidence for the fetogenetic origin of cartilage diseases.

Abstract
Since its discovery in 1994, leptin has been considered as an adipokine with pleiotropic effects. In this review, we summarize the actual information about the impact of this hormone on cartilage metabolism and pathology. Leptin signalling depends on the interaction with leptin receptor LEPR, being the long isoform of the receptor (LEPRb) the one with more efficient intracellular signalling. Chondrocytes express the long isoform of the leptin receptor and in these cells, leptin signalling, alone or in combination with other molecules, induces the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules and cartilage degenerative enzymes. Leptin has been shown to increase the proliferation and activation of immune cells, increasing the severity of immune degenerative cartilage diseases. Leptin expression in serum and synovial fluid are related to degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Inhibition of leptin signalling showed to have protective effects in these diseases showing the key role of leptin in cartilage degeneration.

Abstract
Our understanding of the skeletal system has been expanded upon the recognition of several neural pathways that serve important roles in bone metabolism and skeletal homeostasis, as bone tissue is richly innervated. Considerable evidence provided by in vitro, animal and human studies have further elucidated the importance of a host of hormones and local factors, including neurotransmitters, in modulating bone metabolism and osteo-chondrogenic differentiation, both peripherally and centrally. Various cells of the musculoskeletal system not only express receptors for these neurotransmitters, but also influence their endogenous levels in the skeleton. As with a number of physiological systems in nature, a neuronal pathway regulating bone turnover will be neutralized by another pathway exerting an opposite effect. These neuropeptides are also critically involved in articular cartilage homeostasis and pathogenesis of degenerative joint disorders, such as osteoarthritis. In the present Review, data on the role of several neuronal populations in nerve-dependent skeletal metabolism is examined, and the molecular events involved are explored, which may reveal broader relationships between two apparently unrelated organs.

Abstract
Distant metastases occur when non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is at late stages. Bone metastasis is one of the most frequent metastases of NSCLC and leads to poor prognosis. It has been reported that high expression of BMP2 in NSCLC correlates with poor survival, but whether BMP2 contributes to NSCLC bone metastasis remains largely unknown. The activation of BMP signalling is found in metastatic bone tumours of mice Lewis lung carcinoma and predicts poor survival in human NSCLC. BMP2 signalling activation can enhance bone metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma. Moreover, BMP2 secreted by stroma fibroblasts can promote the migration and invasion of NSCLC cells. Besides, in combination with pre‐osteoblast and LLCs, BMP2 could enhance the differentiation of macrophages into osteoclasts to play roles in the osteolytic mechanism of NSCLC bone metastasis. Interestingly, NSCLC cells can also enrich BMP2 to pre‐osteoblasts to function in the osteoblastic mechanism. Our results firstly demonstrate the detailed mechanisms about what roles BMP2 signalling play in enhancing NSCLC bone metastases. These findings provide a new potential therapy choice for preventing bone metastases of NSCLC via the inhibition of BMP2 signalling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the major type of lung cancer with high morbidity and poor prognosis. Erlotinib, an inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), has been clinically applied for NSCLC treatment. Nevertheless, the erlotinib acquired resistance of NSCLC occurs inevitably in recent years. METHODS Through analyzing two microarray datasets, erlotinib resistant NSCLC cells microarray (GSE80344) and NSCLC tissue microarray (GSE19188), the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened via R language. DEGs were then functionally annotated by Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, which up-regulated more than 2-folds in both datasets were further functionally analyzed by Oncomine, GeneMANIA, R2, Coremine, and FunRich. RESULTS We found that matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) may confer the erlotinib therapeutic resistance in NSCLC. MMP1 highly expressed in erlotinib-resistant cells and NSCLC tissues, and it associated with poor overall survival. In addition, MMP1 may be associated with COPS5 and be involve in an increasing transcription factors HOXA9 and PBX1 in erlotinib resistance. CONCLUSIONS Generally, these results demonstrated that MMP1 may play a crucial role in erlotinib resistance in NSCLC, and MMP1 could be a prognostic biomarker for erlotinib treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) and pain are both made more severe by low-grade inflammation. This study was undertaken to examine whether visceral fat, a major source of inflammatory cytokines and adipokines, is associated with an increased risk of knee OA or musculoskeletal pain. METHODS Subjects in the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study cohort, who were age 50-79 years and had or were at high risk of knee OA, underwent whole-body dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at baseline. At baseline, 30 months, and 60 months radiographs and magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of the knees were obtained, and patients were asked to score the severity of their knee pain and to identify sites of joint pain using a body homunculus. Baseline DXA scans were used to measure total body fat and visceral and subcutaneous fat in the torso. The association of fat depot size with structural outcomes (incident radiographic OA and cartilage loss and synovitis on MRI) and with pain outcomes (worsening knee pain, number of painful joints, and widespread pain) was assessed. Regression analyses were adjusted for age, sex, race, education level, smoking status, physical activity, body mass index (BMI), and depressive symptoms. RESULTS Of the 2,961 participants at baseline, 60.7% were women. The mean age was 62.5 years and mean BMI was 30.5 kg/m2 . After adjustment for covariates, no fat measures were associated with any structural outcomes. However, total and visceral, but not subcutaneous, fat were positively associated with worsening knee pain (P = 0.0005 for total fat and P = 0.007 for visceral fat) and widespread pain (P = 0.001 for total fat and P = 0.02 for visceral fat), and the amount of visceral fat was associated with the number of painful joints (P = 0.07). CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that visceral fat is associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal and widespread pain.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was to evaluate the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) in female knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients in a Chinese population. The associations between METS-IR and adipokines, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included 4686 women from the 2011 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) and 108 women who underwent arthroplasty of KOA at a university hospital. The clinical data were collected, and adipokines were evaluated. METS-IR was calculated in the KOA patients and compared with the national baseline. Logistic regression analyses were applied to explore the associations of METS-IR with adipokines, ESR, and CRP. RESULTS Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of METS-IR and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in national baseline showed an area under the curve value of 0.851, with sensitivity of 0.777 and specificity of 0.772. The METS-IR of KOA was higher than the national baseline level (40.29 ± 6.98 vs 36.20 ± 8.50, P < 0.01), even after adjusting age. In addition, the METS-IR was higher in patients with KOA who had MetS than in those without metabolic syndrome (nMetS), even after adjusting body mass index (BMI). After adjusting for age and BMI, METS-IR was associated with CRP (OR 1.238, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.088, 1.409, P < 0.01), ESR (OR 1.124, 95% CI 1.008, 1.254, P = 0.036), plasma leptin (OR 1.123, 95% CI 1.052, 1.199, P < 0.01), plasma resistin (OR 1.134, 95% CI 1.011, 1.271, P = 0.031), and plasma adiponectin (OR 0.865, 95% CI 0.771, 0.971, P = 0.014). CONCLUSION METS-IR in female KOA was higher than that of the national baseline. The METS-IR was related to adipokine disorder and inflammatory activity. These findings suggest that METS-IR can be used to evaluate the degree of involvement of MetS in KOA.

Abstract
Objectives Activation of the leptin pathway is closely correlated with human knee cartilage degeneration. However, the role of the long form of the leptin receptor (Ob-Rb) in cartilage degeneration needs further study. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of increasing the expression of Ob-Rb on chondrocytes using a lentiviral vector containing Ob-Rb. Methods The medial and lateral cartilage samples of the tibial plateau from 12 osteoarthritis (OA) patients were collected. Ob-Rb messenger RNA (mRNA) was detected in these samples. The Ob-Rb-overexpressing chondrocytes and controls were treated with different doses of leptin for two days. The activation of the p53/p21 pathway and the number of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal)-positive cells were evaluated. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signalling pathway and autophagy were detected after the chondrocytes were treated with a high dose of leptin. Results In total, 12 cases were found to have severe medial cartilage wear compared with the lateral cartilage. Immunofluorescence showed that the expression of Ob-Rb in the medial cartilage of the tibial plateau was high. High levels of leptin led to cell cycle arrest and inhibited autophagy. After overexpression of Ob-Rb, the physiological dose of leptin induced cell senescence in the chondrocytes. High doses of leptin inhibited autophagy by activating the mTOR signalling pathway. Blockade of the mTOR signalling pathway could restore autophagy and partially reverse senescence induced by leptin in chondrocytes. Conclusion In summary, the present study demonstrated that high doses of leptin induce cell senescence by activating the mTOR pathway in chondrocytes from OA cartilage. Highly expressed Ob-Rb accelerates chondrocyte senescence by activating the leptin pathway in OA. Cite this article: X. Zhao, P. Huang, G. Li, L. Zhendong, G. Hu, Q. Xu.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease characterized by non-bacterial inflammation. Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) is a crucial positive regulator in the inflammation that leads to the development of non-OA inflammatory disease. However, the precise involvement of HDAC3 in OA is still unknown, and the underlying mechanism of exercise therapy in OA requires more research. We investigated the involvement of HDAC3 in exercise therapy-treated OA. Expression levels of HDAC3, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-5 (ADAMTS-5), matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13), HDAC3 and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) were measured by western blotting, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. Cartilage damage and OA evaluation were measured by hematoxylin and eosin staining and Toluidine blue O staining according to the Mankin score and OARSI score, respectively. We found that moderate-intensity treadmill exercise could relieve OA. Meanwhile, the expression of HDAC3, MMP-13, ADAMTS-5 and NF-kappaB decreased, and collagen II increased in the OA + moderate-intensity treadmill exercise group (OAM) compared with the OA group (OAG) or OA + high- or low-intensity treadmill exercise groups (OAH or OAL). Furthermore, we found the selective HDAC3 inhibitor RGFP966 could also alleviate inflammation in OA rat model through inhibition of nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB. To further explore the relationship between HDAC3 and NF-kappaB, we investigated the change of NF-kappaB relocation in IL-1β-treated chondrocytes under the stimulation of RGFP966. We found that RGFP966 could inhibit the expression of inflammatory markers of OA via regulation of HDAC3/NF-kappaB pathway. These investigations revealed that RGFP966 is therefore a promising new drug for treating OA.

Stimulation of tolerogenic dendritic cells using dexamethasone and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 represses autologous T cell activation and chondrocyte inflammation. Exp Ther Med 2018; 17:679-688. [PMID: 30651850 PMCID: PMC6307353 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2018.7036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2018] [Accepted: 11/01/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Human osteoarthritis (OA) has been reclassified as a systemic musculoskeletal disorder involving activation of the innate and adaptive immune systems. Elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines may serve a key function in the development of the disease. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and dexamethasone (vitD3/Dex) may inhibit inflammation by acting on tolerogenic dendritic cells (tolDCs) in chronic inflammatory conditions. In the present study, DCs were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with OA. DCs expressing high levels of co-stimulatory molecules maintain a tolerogenic phenotype under stimulation with LPS, which promotes DC maturation to generate tolDCs. When vitD3/Dex were added in the current study, the tolDCs produced pro-inflammatory cytokines, including low levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and IL-10, and high levels of transforming growth factor-β. However, when vitD3/Dex were added to DCs without LPS stimulation, the levels of IL-10 were high. DCs with LPS stimulation increased the percentage of T-cells that produced IFN-γ and IL-17 and DCs with vitD3/Dex treatment alone increased the percentage of T-cells that produced IL-10 and FoxP3. However, those cytokines decrease in DCs co-processed with LPS and vitD3/Dex. The IL-10 release by the stimulated T cells was indicated to repress autologous T cell proliferation via soluble IL-10 and cell-cell contact. Furthermore, tolDCs and regulatory T cells suppressed matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-13 secretion by chondrocytes. Additionally, Akt and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling were demonstrated to be involved in the regulatory effects of Dec and vitD3 in DCs. The present findings suggest a novel mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of tolDCs, particularly in association with the pathogenesis of OA.
