Abstract
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis (TMJOA) disrupts extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis, leading to cartilage degradation. Upregulated a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS)-5 leads to cleavage of its substrate aggrecan (Acan) and is considered a hallmark of TMJOA. However, most research on ADAMTS5-Acan turnover has focused on hyaline cartilage, not fibrocartilage, which comprises the TMJ. The mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC) of the TMJ is organized in zones, and chondrocytes are arranged in axial rows, yet the molecular mechanisms required to generate the MCC zonal architecture have not been elucidated. Here, we test the hypothesis that ADAMTS5 is required for development of the TMJ MCC. Adamts5+/+ and Adamts5-/- murine TMJs were harvested at postnatal day 7 (P7), P21, 2 mo, and 6 mo of age; histomorphometrics indicated increased ECM. Immunohistochemistry and Western blots demonstrated the expanded ECM correlated with increased Acan localization in Adamts5-/- compared to Adamts5+/+. Cell volume was also decreased in the MCC of Adamts5-/- due to both a reduction in cell size and less mature hypertrophic chondrocytes. Analysis of chondrogenic maturation markers by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction indicated Col2a1, Col10a1, and Sox9 were significantly reduced in Adamts5-/- MCC compared to that of Adamts5+/+. The older (6 mo) Adamts5-/- MCC exhibited changes in chondrogenic cell arrangements, including clustering and chondrogenic atrophy, that correlated with early stages of TMJOA using modified Mankin scoring. These data indicate a potentially novel and critical role of ADAMTS5 for maturation of hypertrophic chondrocytes and establishment of the zonal architecture that, when disrupted, may lead to early onset of TMJOA.

Abstract
Guava leaf extract and ellagic acid, one of its polyphenolic components, inhibit the activity of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 5 (ADAMTS-5), which is associated with aggrecan degeneration during the early stage of osteoarthritis (OA). To investigate the efficacy of guava leaf extract for preventing OA, we examined the effect of its dietary intake on cartilage destruction in anterior cruciate ligament-transected (ACLT) rats. Rats were randomly assigned to four groups: ACLT control rats fed with control diet, ACLT rats fed with diet containing 0.2% guava leaf extract, ACLT rats fed with diet containing 0.5% guava leaf extract, and sham-operated rats fed with control diet. Mankin's scores, an index of cartilage damage, were higher in rats that underwent ACLT. Guava leaf extract treatment dose-dependently led to lower Mankin's scores and higher concentrations of ellagic acid in the serum and synovial membrane. Ellagic acid levels in the synovial membrane negatively correlated with cartilage destruction scores. These results suggest that dietary guava leaf extract suppresses OA progression in ACLT rats through ellagic acid-mediated inhibition of early joint destruction.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), is a major cause of severe joint pain, physical disability and quality of life impairment in the aging population across the developed and developing world. Increased catabolism in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the articular cartilage is a key factor in the development and progression of OA. The molecular mechanisms leading to an impaired matrix turnover have not been fully clarified, however cellular senescence, increased expression of inflammatory mediators as well as oxidative stress in association with an inherently limited regenerative potential of the tissue, are all important contributors to OA development. All these factors are linked to and tend to be maximized by aging. Nonetheless the role of aging in compromising joint stability and function in OA has not been completely clarified yet. This review will systematically analyze cellular and structural changes taking place in the articular cartilage and bone in the pathogenesis of OA which are linked to aging. A particular emphasis will be placed on age-related changes in the phenotype of the articular chondrocytes.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to discover that the urinary C-terminal telopeptide of type II collagen (uCTX-II) levels differ between osteoarthritis (OA) patients and healthy individuals (controls). According to this difference, we may conclude that uCTX-II can be a biomarker for OA diagnosis. Methods We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE databases updated to 2014 to find literature on OA biomarkers. We retrieved the publications that met the required criterion. Literature quality was assessed according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Publication bias was assessed by Begg's test and Egger's test with the software STATA version 12.0. The weighted mean difference (WMD) was calculated, and the subgroup analysis was completed using STATA 12.0. Results Six publications were included in our analysis. The WMD for OA patients versus the controls was 83.05, which was within the 95% confidence interval. For subgroup analysis, the WMD of patients with severe OA was 119.92, whereas that of patients with mild OA was 28.07. Conclusions uCTX-II levels were higher in OA patients than in controls, subgroup analysis revealed that the uCTX-II levels rised with the OA severity, the heterogeneity originated from different levels of OA severity, These results showed that uCTX-II would be a promising clinical biomarker in OA diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To validate a modified ligand-binding assay for the detection of aggrecanase generated aggrecan fragments with the ARGS neoepitope in synovial fluid (SF) and blood, and to verify the identity of aggrecan fragments found in blood. DESIGN An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on the Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) platform for detection of ARGS-aggrecan was validated, using a standard made from recombinant human aggrecan. Matched samples of SF, serum, plasma, and urine were obtained from 36 subjects at different time points after knee injury, and analysed for ARGS-aggrecan content. Aggrecan was purified from serum and plasma pools and analysed by Western blot. RESULTS The limits of quantification for the ARGS-aggrecan assay was between 0.2 and 0.025 pmol ARGS/ml, and the sensitivity of the assay was improved two-fold compared to when using a standard purified from human donors. The ARGS concentrations were highest in SF (mean, range; 3.02, 0.36-30.22 pmol/ml), 20 times lower in the blood samples (0.14, 0.055-0.28 pmol/ml serum and 0.13, 0.053-0.28 pmol/ml plasma), and 80 times lower in urine (0.036, below detection - 0.087 pmol/ml). Serum-ARGS and plasma-ARGS concentrations were similar, and correlated (r(S) = 0.773, P < 0.001). SF concentration correlated with serum concentrations (r(S) = 0.420, P = 0.011). In blood, we identified 129-138 kDa aggrecan fragments containing the ARGS neoepitope. CONCLUSIONS This novel ARGS-aggrecan assay is highly sensitive and suited for analysis of SF and blood samples. Both SF and blood contains ARGS-aggrecan, and ARGS concentrations in SF and serum are correlated.

Abstract
In 2010, in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, we published a comprehensive systematic review applying the consensus BIPED criteria (Burden of Disease, Investigative, Prognostic, Efficacy of Intervention and Diagnostic) criteria on serum and urinary biochemical markers for knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) using publications that were available at that time. It appeared that none of the biochemical markers at that time were sufficiently discriminating to allow diagnosis and prognosis of OA in individual or limited numbers of patients, nor performed so consistently that they could function as primary outcome parameters in clinical trials. Also at present, almost 3 years later, this ultimate goal has not been reached (yet). Frankly, it might be questioned whether we are making the most adequate steps ahead and maybe we have to take a step back to reconsider our approaches. Some reflections are made and discussed: A critical review of molecular metabolism in OA and validation of currently investigated marker molecules in this may be vital and may lead to new and better markers. Creating cohorts in which synovial fluid (SF) is obtained in a systematic way, together with serum and urine, may also bring the field a further step ahead. Thirdly, better understanding of different phenotypes (subtypes) of OA may facilitate identification and validation of biochemical markers. Finally, the systems biology approach as discussed in the last years OA in review on biomarkers, although very complex, might provide steps forward. Looking ahead, we are optimistic but realistic in our expectations, we believe that the field can be brought forward by critically and cautiously reconsidering our approaches, and making changes forward, one step at a time.

Association between cartilage and bone biomarkers and incidence of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (RKOA) in UK females: a prospective study. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2013; 21:923-9. [PMID: 23598177 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2013.04.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2012] [Revised: 03/20/2013] [Accepted: 04/09/2013] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is a need to find biochemical markers that would identify people with increased risk of developing radiographic knee osteoarthritis (RKOA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of cartilage and bone biomarkers (cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), aggrecan, cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein (cIAP), N-telopeptide-to-helix (NTx)) to predict RKOA incidence in a 10-year follow-up of UK females from the Chingford community study. METHOD Joint space narrowing (JSN), osteophytes (OSP) and Kellgren-Lawrence (K/L) grades were scored from radiographs of both knees at study baseline and 10 years later in 1,003 women aged 45-64. Circulating levels of biomarkers and demographic variables were measured at baseline. Statistical association analysis was conducted between the potential predictor factors measured at baseline and documentation of RKOA at 10-year follow-up. RESULTS Age and body mass index (BMI), were significant predictors of incidence of RKOA as assessed by K/L and OSP. Considering biomarkers, independent significant association was found between COMP circulating levels and K/L scores (Odd Ratio (OR) = 2.87, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.19-6.89, P = 0.018). Significant negative association was detected between aggrecan plasma concentrations and JSN, with OR = 0.37 (95% CI 0.15-0.89), P = 0.026. CONCLUSIONS Aggrecan and COMP circulating levels contribute to identification of phenotype-specific RKOA incidence. These data suggest potentially protective role of aggrecan in cartilage loss, as measured by JSN. High COMP levels are risk factors for development of RKOA, as assessed by K/L scores.
