Combining stretching and gallic acid to decrease inflammation indices and promote extracellular matrix production in osteoarthritic human articular chondrocytes. Exp Cell Res 2021; 408:112841. [PMID: 34563516 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2021.112841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Revised: 08/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/22/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) patients undergo cartilage degradation and experience painful joint swelling. OA symptoms are caused by inflammatory molecules and the upregulation of catabolic genes leading to the breakdown of cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM). Here, we investigate the effects of gallic acid (GA) and mechanical stretching on the expression of anabolic and catabolic genes and restoring ECM production by osteoarthritic human articular chondrocytes (hAChs) cultured in monolayers. hAChs were seeded onto conventional plates or silicone chambers with or without 100 μM GA. A 5% cyclic tensile strain (CTS) was applied to the silicone chambers and the deposition of collagen and glycosaminoglycan, and gene expressions of collagen types II (COL2A1), XI (COL11A2), I (COL1A1), and X (COL10A1), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1 and MMP-13) as inflammation markers, were quantified. CTS and GA acted synergistically to promote the deposition of collagen and glycosaminoglycan in the ECM by 14- and 7-fold, respectively. Furthermore, the synergistic stimuli selectively upregulated the expression of cartilage-specific proteins, COL11A2 by 7-fold, and COL2A1 by 47-fold, and, in contrast, downregulated the expression of MMP-1 by 2.5-fold and MMP-13 by 125-fold. GA supplementation with CTS is a promising approach for restoring osteoarthritic hAChs ECM production ability making them suitable for complex tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The application of tissue engineering to generate cartilage is limited because of low proliferative ability and unstable phenotype of chondrocytes. The sources of cartilage seed cells are mainly chondrocytes and stem cells. A variety of methods have been used to obtain large numbers of chondrocytes, including increasing chondrocyte proliferation and stem cell chondrogenic differentiation via cytokines, genes, and proteins. Natural or synthetic small molecule compounds can provide a simple and effective method to promote chondrocyte proliferation, maintain a stable chondrocyte phenotype, and promote stem cell chondrogenic differentiation. Therefore, the study of small molecule compounds is of great importance for cartilage tissue engineering. Herein, we review a series of small molecule compounds and their mechanisms that can promote chondrocyte proliferation, maintain chondrocyte phenotype, or induce stem cell chondrogenesis. The studies in this field represent significant contributions to the research in cartilage tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Gallic acid (GA) and its derivatives are anti-inflammatory agents and are reported to have potent effects on Osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. Nonetheless, it is generally accepted that the therapeutic effect and biocompatibility of GA is much weaker than its esters due to the high hydrophilicity. The therapeutic effect of GA on OA could be improved if certain structural modifications were made to increase its hydrophobicity. In this study, a novel sulfonamido-based gallate was synthesized by bonding sulfonamide with GA, and its biological evaluations on OA were investigated. Results show that 5-[4-(Pyrimidin-2-ylsulfamoylphenyl)]-carbamoyl-benzene-1,2,3-triyl triacetate (HAMDC) was able to reverse the effects induced by Interleukin-1 (IL-1) stimulation, and it also had a great effect on chondro-protection via promoting cell proliferation and maintaining the phenotype of articular chondrocytes, as well as enhancing synthesis of cartilage specific markers such as aggrecan, collagen II and Sox9. Furthermore, a docking study showed that HAMDC fits into the core of the active site of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5 (ADAMTS-5), which provides an explanation for its activity and selectivity.

Abstract
The effects of gallic acid (GA) on arthritis are limited by weak antioxidant effects and inferior biological properties of GA. We recently described a new series of synthesized GA derivatives by coupling with sulfonamides. Among these analogs, a novel compound synthesized from GA and sulfadimoxine (SDM) named ZXHA-TC exhibited the most robust anti-inflammatory potential. In this current study, the chondro-protective and antiarthritic effects of ZXHA-TC were investigated both in vitro and in vivo. In the in vitro study, ZXHA-TC exerted chondro-protective effects as evidenced by promoting cell proliferation and the maintaining of the phenotype of articular chondrocytes treated with interleukin-1-beta (IL-1β). The potential of ZXHA-TC to slow the progress of osteoarthritis (OA) was suggested by a reduction in matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the up-regulation of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1). In a rabbit anterior cruciate ligament transaction (ACLT) model of OA, ZXHA-TC exerted a protective effect on arthritis as assessed by macroscopic scores, histological, qRT-PCR, and immunohistochemical analyses. The effects of ZXHA-TC on inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators in OA may be mediated partly by the suppression of the PI3K/AKT pathway or MAPK cascades, leading to NF-κB inactivation. Thus, this study indicates that ZXHA-TC may be developed as a potential therapeutic agent for OA.

Abstract
Gallic acid (GA) and its derivatives are anti-inflammatory agents reported to have an effect on osteoarthritis (OA). However, GA has much weaker anti-oxidant effects and inferior bioactivity compared with its derivatives. We modified GA with the introduction of sulfonamide to synthesize a novel compound named JEZ-C and analyzed its anti-arthritis and chondro-protective effects. Comparison of JEZ-C with its sources i.e. GA and Sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) was also performed. Results showed that JEZ-C could effectively inhibit the IL-1-mediated induction of MMP-1 and MMP-13 and could induce the expression of TIMP-1, which demonstrated its ability to reduce the progression of OA. JEZ-C can also exert chondro-protective effects by promoting cell proliferation and maintaining the phenotype of articular chondrocytes, as evidenced by improved cell growth, enhanced synthesis of cartilage specific markers such as aggrecan, collagen II and Sox9. Meanwhile, expression of the collagen I gene was effectively downregulated, revealing the inhibition of chondrocytes dedifferentiation by JEZ-C. Hypertrophy that may lead to chondrocyte ossification was also undetectable in JEZ-C groups. The recommended dose of JEZ-C ranges from 6.25×10-7 μg/ml to 6.25×10-5 μg/ml, among which the most profound response was observed with 6.25×10-6 μg/ml. In contrast, its source products of GA and SMZ have a weak effect not only in the inhibition of OA but also in the bioactivity of chondrocytes, which indicated the significance of this modification. This study revealed JEZ-C as a promising novel agent in the treatment of chondral and osteochondral lesions.
