Abstract
BACKGROUND The extent of the association between vitamin D deficiency and knee osteoarthritis remains inadequately understood. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between vitamin D levels and knee osteoarthritis through a cross-sectional analysis. METHODS This retrospective study involved an analysis of knee radiographs and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-(OH) vitamin D3) levels in a cohort of 3424 individuals (2901 women and 523 men). Knee osteoarthritis severity was evaluated using the Kellgren-Lawrence radiological scoring system. RESULTS Of the participants, 49.2% (n= 1,683) were diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis. Among these patients, the levels of adjusted 25-(OH) vitamin D3 were significantly lower (p< 0.001). Regression analysis revealed a significant association between vitamin D deficiency and knee osteoarthritis, with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.7 (95% CI: 1.5-2.0; p< 0.001). Notably, a stronger association was observed between vitamin D deficiency and knee osteoarthritis in women under 65 compared to those aged 65 and above. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study indicate a higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Maintaining adequate serum 25-(OH) vitamin D3 levels may prevent knee osteoarthritis, especially in women below 65.

Nutraceutical Approach to Chronic Osteoarthritis: From Molecular Research to Clinical Evidence. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222312920. [PMID: 34884724 PMCID: PMC8658017 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222312920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2021] [Revised: 11/22/2021] [Accepted: 11/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative inflammatory condition of the joint cartilage that currently affects approximately 58 million adults in the world. It is characterized by pain, stiffness, and a reduced range of motion with regard to the arthritic joints. These symptoms can cause in the long term a greater risk of overweight/obesity, diabetes mellitus, and falls and fractures. Although the current guidelines for the treatment of OA suggest, as the gold standard for this condition, pharmacological treatment characterized by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), opioids, and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-specific drugs, a great interest has been applied to nutraceutical supplements, which include a heterogeneous class of molecules with great potential to reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, pain, and joint stiffness and improve cartilage formation. The purpose of this review is to describe the potential application of nutraceuticals in OA, highlighting its molecular mechanisms of actions and data of efficacy and safety (when available).

Abstract
Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative, painful and irreversible disease that affects millions of people worldwide. The causes and mechanisms of osteoarthritis have not been fully understood. Vitamin D is an essential factor in bone metabolism. Its actions are mediated by the vitamin D receptor, a transcription factor that controls gene expression, thus maintaining calcium and phosphate homeostasis. Vitamin D has been hypothesized to play essential role in a number of musculoskeletal diseases including osteoarthritis, and its deficiency is prevalent among osteoarthritis patients. A large number of studies have been done regarding the effects of vitamin D in pathogenesis and progression of osteoarthritis, as well as its use a therapeutic agent. Up to date, studies have provided controversial results, and no consensus concerning this matter was achieved. With this review, we aim to explore current data on the possible role of vitamin D and its receptor in pathogenesis of osteoarthritis and assess the efficiency of vitamin D supplementation as a therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Vitamin D has been believed to have a bearing in the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis (OA). This study was done to search the literature and review the correlation between vitamin D levels in knee OA in the adult population and the outcome of vitamin D supplementation in knee OA. METHODS An exhaustive search of Pub Med and Cochrane library database was done with keywords vitamin D, knee and osteoarthritis for a period from Jan 2005 to December 2015. All Randomized Control Trials (RCT), Cohort, Case-control, cross-sectional studies were included in the present systematic review. RESULTS The search resulted in a total of 86 studies; out of which 11 studies were included in the current review. There were two Randomized Control Trial (RCT), one case-control, four cross-sectional and four cohort studies. These studies comprised of a total of 5137 participants (ranging from 46 to 1248) Our results suggested there was a moderate evidence of positive association in vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and progression of radiographic OA (ROA), as assessed by Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) grading. However, VDD was not associated with the incidence of ROA and MRI-detected change in focal cartilage defect. However, this study has a limited evidence for a positive correlation in VDD and the cartilage volume loss. There was also limited evidence showing no role of vitamin D therapy in reducing cartilage volume loss and knee pain in Knee OA. CONCLUSION The VDD is common and has been associated with knee OA, in an adult population. However, there is still inconsistent evidence regarding the prevention of incidence and progression of ROA after vitamin D therapy. There is a need for multicentric and well-conducted randomized studies with larger samples to conclude the positive effect of Vitamin D therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Fok1 polymorphism (rs2228570) in vitamin D receptor gene appears to be the only polymorphism influencing size of translated protein. Investigations into its association with coronary artery disease (CAD) are sparse. METHODS Male patients (n = 98) with verified CAD were recruited alongside age- and sex-matched controls (n = 55). Genotyping was performed by PCR-RFLP and plasma 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels were assessed by HPLC-UV. RESULTS The C-variant (mutant) was predominantly expressed in patients compared to controls (68.9% versus 55.5%; p = 0.025). The observed genotypes were not associated with 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels. CONCLUSION This study presents Fok1 polymorphism as a potential genetic marker for CAD.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a debilitating and degenerative disease which affects millions of people worldwide. The causes and mechanisms of osteoarthritis remain to be fully understood. Vitamin D has been hypothesised to play essential roles in a number of diseases including osteoarthritis. Many cell types within osteoarthritic joints appear to experience negative effects often at increased sensitivity to vitamin D. These findings contrast clinical research which has identified vitamin D deficiency to have a worryingly high prevalence among osteoarthritis patients. Randomised-controlled trial is considered to be the most rigorous way of determining the effects of vitamin D supplementation on the development of osteoarthritis. Studies into the effects of low vitamin D levels on pain and joint function have to date yielded controversial results. Due to the apparent conflicting effects of vitamin D in knee osteoarthritis, further research is required to fully elucidate its role in the development and progression of the disease as well as assess the efficacy and safety of vitamin D supplementation as a therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
AIM Mounting evidence has presented nitric oxide (NO) and vitamin D (vitD) as having independently complex roles in osteoarthritis (OA). However, a mechanistic or an observational connection between them has never been investigated in the disease. This study investigates the correlation between circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and total NO as nitrate/nitrite (NO x ) in patients with knee OA. METHODS The recruited subjects comprised 36 post-menopausal women with knee OA, ages 50-60 years, as well as 10 healthy males, 20-30 years of age. 25(OH)D and NO x levels were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography and spectrophotometrically using Griess reaction, respectively. RESULTS The mean (SEM) 25(OH)D and NO x concentrations of OA patients were 25.0 (1.6) ng/mL and 32.45 (2.18) μM, respectively, and 35.4 (2.1) ng/mL and 25.49 (2.23) μM, respectively, for controls. Comparison of mean 25(OH)D and NO x concentrations of OA patients and controls yielded significant results (P = 0.001 and 0.034, respectively). NO notably decreased with decreasing 25(OH)D concentration in patients. However, significant results in terms of mean NO x concentration were observed in the comparison of normal and deficient vitD OA groups (P = 0.048). CONCLUSION Results suggest that vitD increases NO production and inducible NO synthase expression in osteoarthritic chondrocytes possibly leading to a protective effect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between the rs10741657 and rs12794714 polymorphisms in the CYP2R1 gene, 25(OH)D levels, and coronary artery disease (CAD) incidence. METHODS In total, 134 male patients with verified CAD were recruited, alongside 109 age- and sex-matched controls. Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, using the corresponding restriction enzyme for each polymorphism, whereas 25(OH)D levels were analyzed by HPLC-UV. RESULTS 25(OH)D levels were significantly lower in patients. The genotypic and allelic distributions of the rs10741657 polymorphism were significantly different between patients and controls, whereas insignificant results were obtained for the rs12794714 polymorphism. Furthermore, rs10741657, but not rs12794714, predicted 25(OH)D levels. CONCLUSION The rs10741657 polymorphism is a novel genetic marker for CAD.
