Abstract
The musculoskeletal system, crucial for movement and support, relies on the delicate balance of connective tissue homeostasis. Maintaining this equilibrium is essential for tissue health and function. There has been increasing evidence in the past decade that shows the circadian clock as a master regulator of extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis in several connective tissue clocks. Very recently, exercise has emerged as a significant entrainment factor for cartilage and intervertebral disk circadian rhythms. Understanding the implications of exercise on connective tissue peripheral clocks holds promise for enhancing tissue health and disease prevention. Exercise-induced factors such as heat, glucocorticoid release, mechanical loading, and inter-tissue cross talk may play pivotal roles in entraining the circadian rhythm of connective tissues. This mini review underscores the importance of elucidating the mechanisms through which exercise influences circadian rhythms in connective tissues to optimize ECM homeostasis. Leveraging exercise as a modulator of circadian rhythms in connective tissues may offer novel therapeutic approaches to physical training for preventing musculoskeletal disorders and enhancing recovery.

Abstract
Physiological processes within the human body are regulated in approximately 24-h cycles known as circadian rhythms, serving to adapt to environmental changes. Bone rhythms play pivotal roles in bone development, metabolism, mineralization, and remodeling processes. Bone rhythms exhibit cell specificity, and different cells in bone display various expressions of clock genes. Multiple environmental factors, including light, feeding, exercise, and temperature, affect bone diurnal rhythms through the sympathetic nervous system and various hormones. Disruptions in bone diurnal rhythms contribute to the onset of skeletal disorders such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and skeletal hypoplasia. Conversely, these bone diseases can be effectively treated when aimed at the circadian clock in bone cells, including the rhythmic expressions of clock genes and drug targets. In this review, we describe the unique circadian rhythms in physiological activities of various bone cells. Then we summarize the factors synchronizing the diurnal rhythms of bone with the underlying mechanisms. Based on the review, we aim to build an overall understanding of the diurnal rhythms in bone and summarize the new preventive and therapeutic strategies for bone disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Drug disposition undergoes significant alteration in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), yet circadian time-dependency of these changes remains largely unexplored. In this study, we aimed to determine the temporal effects of experimental colitis on drug disposition and toxicity. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH RNA-sequencing was used to screen genes relevant to colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate in mice. Liver microsomes and pharmacokinetic analysis were used to analyze the activity of key enzymes. Dual luciferase assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) were employed to elucidate regulatory mechanisms. KEY RESULTS RNA sequencing analysis revealed that colitis markedly influenced expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. Specifically, a substantial down-regulation of CYP1A2 and CYP2E1 was observed in livers of mice with colitis at Zeitgeber Time 8 (ZT8), with no significant changes detected at ZT20. At ZT8, the altered expression corresponded to diminished metabolism and enhanced incidence of hepato-cardiac toxicity of theophylline, a substrate specifically metabolized by these enzymes. A combination of assays, integrating liver-specific Bmal1 knockout and targeted activation of BMAL1 showed that dysregulation in CYP1A2 and CYP2E1 during colitis was attributable to perturbed BMAL1 functionality. Luciferase reporter and ChIP assays collectively substantiated the role of BMAL1 in regulating Cyp1a2 and Cyp2e1 transcription through its binding affinity to E-box-like sites. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATION Our findings establish a strong link between colitis and chronopharmacology, shedding light on how IBD affects drug disposition and toxicity over time. This research provides a theoretical foundation for optimizing drug dosage in patients with IBD.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a heterodimer transcription factor composed of an alpha and a beta subunit. HIF-1α is a master regulator of cellular response to hypoxia by activating the transcription of genes that facilitate metabolic adaptation to hypoxia. Since chondrocytes in mature articular cartilage reside in a hypoxic environment, HIF-1α plays an important role in chondrogenesis and in the physiological lifecycle of articular cartilage. Accumulating evidence suggests interactions between the HIF pathways and the circadian clock. The circadian clock is an emerging regulator in both developing and mature chondrocytes. However, how circadian rhythm is established during the early steps of cartilage formation and through what signaling pathways it promotes the healthy chondrocyte phenotype is still not entirely known. This narrative review aims to deliver a concise analysis of the existing understanding of the dynamic interplay between HIF-1α and the molecular clock in chondrocytes, in states of both health and disease, while also incorporating creative interpretations. We explore diverse hypotheses regarding the intricate interactions among these pathways and propose relevant therapeutic strategies for cartilage disorders such as osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common age-related joint disease, affecting articular cartilage and other joint structures, causing severe pain and disability. Due to a limited understanding of the underlying disease pathogenesis, there are currently no disease-modifying drugs for OA. Circadian rhythms are generated by cell-intrinsic timekeeping mechanisms which are known to dampen during ageing, increasing disease risks. In this review, we focus on one emerging area of chondrocyte biology, the circadian clocks. We first provide a historical perspective of circadian clock discoveries and the molecular underpinnings. We will then focus on the expression and functions of circadian clocks in articular cartilage, including their rhythmic target genes and pathways, links to ageing, tissue degeneration, and OA, as well as tissue niche-specific entrainment pathways. Further research into cartilage clocks and ageing may have broader implications in the understanding of OA pathogenesis, the standardization of biomarker detection, and the development of novel therapeutic routes for the prevention and management of OA and other musculoskeletal diseases.

Abstract
The circadian clock, a collection of endogenous cellular oscillators with an approximate 24-h cycle, involves autoregulatory transcriptional/translational feedback loops to enable synchronization within the body. Circadian rhythmicity is controlled by a master clock situated in the hypothalamus; however, peripheral tissues are also under the control of autonomous clocks which are coordinated by the master clock to regulate physiological processes. Although light is the primary signal required to entrain the body to the external day, non-photic zeitgeber including exercise also entrains circadian rhythmicity. Cellular mechano-sensing is imperative for functionality of physiological systems including musculoskeletal tissues. Over the last decade, mechano-regulation of circadian rhythmicity in skeletal muscle, intervertebral disc, and bone has been demonstrated to impact tissue homeostasis. In contrast, few publications exist characterizing the influence of mechanical loading on the circadian rhythm in articular cartilage, a musculoskeletal tissue in which loading is imperative for function; importantly, a dysregulated cartilage clock contributes to development of osteoarthritis. Hence, this review summarizes the literature on mechano-regulation of circadian clocks in musculoskeletal tissues and infers on their collective importance in understanding the circadian clock and its synchronicity for articular cartilage mechanobiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the destruction of articular cartilage. Tenacissoside G is a flavonoid isolated from the dry roots of Marsdenia tenacissima (Roxb) and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. However, there is no report on the protective effects of Tenacissoside G on OA. OBJECTIVES To identify the effects and mechanism of Tenacissoside G on OA. METHODS In vitro, primary mouse chondrocytes were induced with IL-1β to establish OA model. mRNA expression of MMP-13, MMP-3, TNF-α, IL-6 and iNOS, was detected by PCR. Protein expression of Collagen-II, MMP-13, p65, p-p65, and IκBα was detected by Western blot. Collagen-II in chondrocytes was also detected by immunofluorescence. In vivo, we established DMM OA mice model. The preventive effect of Tenacissoside G on OA was observed by micro-CT and histological analysis. RESULTS In vitro, Tenacissoside G significantly inhibited the expression of iNOS, TNF-α, IL-6, MMP-3, MMP-13 and the degradation of collagen-II, Tenacissoside G also significantly suppressed NF-κB activation in chondrocytes by IL-1β-stimulated. In vivo, we demonstrated Tenacissoside G can decrease articular cartilage damage and reduce OARSI score. CONCLUSION These results suggest that Tenacissoside G may serve as a potential drug for the prevention and treatment of OA.

Abstract
The circadian system is widely involved in the various pathological outcomes affected by time dimension changes. In the brain, the master circadian clock, also known as the "pacemaker," is present in the hypothalamus's suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). The SCN consists of molecular circadian clocks that operate in each neuron and other brain cells. These circadian mechanisms are controlled by the transcription and translation of specific genes such as the clock circadian regulator (Clock) and brain and muscle ARNT-Like 1 (Bmal1). Period (Per1-3) and cryptochrome (Cry1 and 2) negatively feedback and regulate the clock genes. Variations in the circadian cycle and these clock genes can affect stroke outcomes. Studies suggest that the peak stroke occurs in the morning after patients awaken from sleep, while stroke severity and poor outcomes worsen at midnight. The main risk factor associated with stroke is high blood pressure (hypertension). Blood pressure usually dips by 15-20% during sleep, but many hypertensives do not display this normal dipping pattern and are non-dippers. A sleep blood pressure is the primary determinant of stroke risk. This article discusses the possible mechanism associated with circadian rhythm and stroke outcomes.

Abstract
The oral and maxillofacial organs play vital roles in chewing, maintaining facial beauty, and speaking. Almost all physiological processes display circadian rhythms that are driven by the circadian clock, allowing organisms to adapt to the changing environment. In recent years, increasing evidence has shown that the circadian clock system participates in oral and maxillofacial physiological and pathological processes, such as jaw and tooth development, salivary gland function, craniofacial malformations, oral carcinoma and other diseases. However, the roles of the circadian clock in oral science have not yet been comprehensively reviewed. Therefore, This paper provides a systematic and integrated perspective on the function of the circadian clock in the fields of oral science, reviews recent advances in terms of the circadian clock in oral and maxillofacial development and disease, dialectically analyzes the importance of the circadian clock system and circadian rhythm to the activities of oral and maxillofacial tissues, and focuses on analyzing the mechanism of the circadian clock in the maintenance of oral health, affecting the common diseases of the oral and maxillofacial region and the process of oral-related systemic diseases, sums up the chronotherapy and preventive measures for oral-related diseases based on changes in tissue activity circadian rhythms, meanwhile, comes up with a new viewpoint to promote oral health and human health.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a slowly progressing and irreversible joint disease. The existing non-surgical treatment can only delay its progress, making the early treatment of OA a research hotspot in recent years. Melatonin, a neurohormone mainly secreted by the pineal gland, has a variety of regulatory functions in different organs, and numerous studies have confirmed its therapeutic effect on OA. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) constitute the majority of the human transcribed genome. Various ncRNAs show significant differentially expressed between healthy people and OA patients. ncRNAs play diverse roles in many cellular processes and have been implicated in many pathological conditions, especially OA. Interestingly, the latest research found a close interaction between ncRNAs and melatonin in regulating the pathogenesis of OA. This review discusses the current understanding of the melatonin-mediated modulation of ncRNAs in the early stage of OA. We also delineate the potential link between rhythm genes and ncRNAs in chondrocytes. This review will serve as a solid foundation to formulate ideas for future mechanistic studies on the therapeutic potential of melatonin and ncRNAs in OA and better explore the emerging functions of the ncRNAs.

Abstract
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT) is a class III, NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase that also modulates the activity of numerous non-histone proteins through deacylation. SIRT1 plays critical roles in regulating and integrating cellular energy metabolism, response to stress, and circadian rhythm by modulating epigenetic and transcriptional regulation, mitochondrial homeostasis, proteostasis, telomere maintenance, inflammation, and the response to hypoxia. SIRT1 expression and activity decrease with aging, and enhancing its activity extends life span in various organisms, including mammals, and improves many age-related diseases, including cancer, metabolic, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and renal diseases, but the opposite, that is, aggravation of various diseases, such as some cancers and neurodegenerative diseases, has also been reported. Accordingly, many natural and synthetic SIRT1 activators and inhibitors have been developed. Known SIRT1 activators of natural origin are mainly polyphenols. Nonetheless, various classes of non-polyphenolic monoterpenoids have been identified as inducers of SIRT1 expression and/or activity. This narrative review discusses current information on the evidence that supports the role of those compounds as SIRT1 activators and their potential both as tools for research and as pharmaceuticals for therapeutic application in age-related diseases.

Abstract
The circadian system is responsible for internal functions and regulation of the organism according to environmental cues (zeitgebers). Circadian rhythm dysregulation or chronodisruption has been associated with several diseases, from mental to autoimmune diseases, and with life quality change. Following this, some therapies have been developed to correct circadian misalignments, such as light therapy and chronobiotics. In this manuscript, we describe the circadian-related diseases so far investigated, and studies reporting relevant data on this topic, evidencing this relationship, are included. Despite the actual limitations in published work, there is clear evidence of the correlation between circadian rhythm dysregulation and disease origin/development, and, in this way, clock-related therapies emerge as great progress in the clinical field. Future improvements in such interventions can lead to the development of successful chronotherapy strategies, deeply contributing to enhanced therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
The circadian clock regulates tissue homeostasis through temporal control of tissue-specific clock-controlled genes. In articular cartilage, disruptions in the circadian clock are linked to a procatabolic state. In the presence of inflammation, the cartilage circadian clock is disrupted, which further contributes to the pathogenesis of diseases such as osteoarthritis. Using synthetic biology and tissue engineering, we developed and tested genetically engineered cartilage from murine induced pluripotent stem cells (miPSCs) capable of preserving the circadian clock in the presence of inflammation. We found that circadian rhythms arise following chondrogenic differentiation of miPSCs. Exposure of tissue-engineered cartilage to the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) disrupted circadian rhythms and degraded the cartilage matrix. All three inflammation-resistant approaches showed protection against IL-1-induced degradation and loss of circadian rhythms. These synthetic gene circuits reveal a unique approach to support daily rhythms in cartilage and provide a strategy for creating cell-based therapies to preserve the circadian clock.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the main causes of disabilities among older people. To date, multiple disease-related molecular networks in OA have been identified, including abnormal mechanical loadings and local inflammation. These pathways have not, however, properly elucidated the mechanism of OA progression. Recently, sufficient evidence has suggested that rhythmic disturbances in the central nervous system (CNS) and local joint tissues affect the homeostasis of joint and can escalate pathological changes of OA. This is accompanied with an exacerbation of joint symptoms that interfere with the rhythm of CNS in reverse. Eventually, these processes aggravate OA progression. At present, the crosstalk between joint tissues and biological rhythm remains poorly understood. As such, the mechanisms of rhythm changes in joint tissues are worth study; in particular, research on the effect of rhythmic genes on metabolism and inflammation would facilitate the understanding of the natural rhythms of joint tissues and the OA pathology resulting from rhythm disturbance.

Brain Behav Immun Health 2022; 21:100428.

Abstract
Disruption of circadian rhythms occurs in rotating shift-work, jetlag, and in individuals with irregular sleep schedules. Circadian disruption is known to alter inflammatory responses and impair immune function. However, there is limited understanding of how circadian disruption modulates cancer-induced inflammation. Inflammation is a hallmark of cancer and is linked to worse prognosis and impaired brain function in cancer patients. Here, we investigated the effect of circadian disruption on cancer-induced inflammation in an orthotopic breast cancer model. Using a validated chronic jetlag protocol that advances the light-cycle by 8 h every 2 days to disrupt circadian rhythms, we found that circadian disruption alters cancer-induced inflammation in a tissue-specific manner, increasing inflammation in the body and brain while decreasing inflammation within the tumor tissue. Circadian disruption did not affect inflammation in mice without tumors, suggesting that the impact of circadian disruption may be particularly detrimental in the context of underlying inflammatory conditions, such as cancer. Importantly, circadian disruption did not affect tumor burden, suggesting that increased inflammation was not a result of increased cancer progression. Overall, these findings identify the importance of healthy circadian rhythms for limiting cancer-induced inflammation. Circadian disruption enhances cancer-induced inflammation in the body and brain. The profile of inflammatory cytokines altered by circadian disruption is tissue specific. Changes in inflammatory profiles by circadian disruption are not due to enhanced tumor burden.

Elevation of α-1,3 fucosylation promotes the binding ability of TNFR1 to TNF-α and contributes to osteoarthritic cartilage destruction and apoptosis. Arthritis Res Ther 2022; 24:93. [PMID: 35488351 PMCID: PMC9052622 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-022-02776-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2022] [Accepted: 04/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and is characterized by the degradation of articular cartilage and inflammation of the synovial membrane. Fucosylation is an important feature of protein N/O-glycosylation and is involved in a variety of pathological processes, including inflammation and cancer. However, whether fucosylation impacts the OA pathological process is unknown. Methods Total proteins were extracted from cartilage samples obtained from patients with OA (n = 11) and OA rabbit models at different time points (n = 12). OA-associated abnormal glycopatterns were evaluated by lectin microarrays and lectin blots. The expression of fucosyltransferases involved in the synthesis of α-1,3 fucosylation was assessed by semi-qPCR. The synthesis of α-1,3 fucosylation mediated by FUT10 was interrupted by the transfection of siRNA, and the effect of α-1,3 fucosylation on OA-associated events was assessed. Then, immunoprecipitation and lectin blotting were used to investigate the relationship between the α-1,3 fucosylation level of tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1A (TNFR1) and OA. Finally, a TNFR1 antibody microarray was fabricated to evaluate the effect of α-1,3 fucosylation on the ability of TNFR1 to bind to tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Results Elevated α-1,3 fucosylation was observed in cartilage from OA patients, rabbit models, and chondrocytes induced by TNF-α (fold change> 2, p< 0.01). Our results and the GEO database indicated that the overexpression of FUT10 contributed to this alteration. Silencing the expression of FUT10 impaired the ability of TNFR1 to bind to TNF-α, impeded activation of the NF-κB and P38/JNK-MAPK pathways, and eventually retarded extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, senescence, and apoptosis in chondrocytes exposed to TNF-α. Conclusion The elevation of α-1,3 fucosylation is not only a characteristic of OA but also impacts the OA pathological process. Our work provides a new positive feedback loop of “inflammation conditions/TNF-α/FUT10/α-1,3 fucosylation of TNFR1/NF-κB and P38/JNK-MAPK pathways/proinflammatory processes” that contributes to ECM degradation and chondrocyte apoptosis.

Abstract
Simple Summary The circadian cycle is a natural cycle of the body repeated every 24 h, based on a day and night rhythm, and it affects many body processes. The present article reviews the importance and role of the circadian cycle in cancer and its association with the immune system and immunotherapy drugs at the cellular and molecular levels. It also examines the genes and cellular pathways involved in both circadian and immune systems. It offers possible computational solutions to increase the effectiveness of cancer treatment concerning the circadian cycle. Abstract Cancer is the leading cause of death and a major problem to increasing life expectancy worldwide. In recent years, various approaches such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapies, and the newest pillar, immunotherapy, have been developed to treat cancer. Among key factors impacting the effectiveness of treatment, the administration of drugs based on the circadian rhythm in a person and within individuals can significantly elevate drug efficacy, reduce adverse effects, and prevent drug resistance. Circadian clocks also affect various physiological processes such as the sleep cycle, body temperature cycle, digestive and cardiovascular processes, and endocrine and immune systems. In recent years, to achieve precision patterns for drug administration using computational methods, the interaction of the effects of drugs and their cellular pathways has been considered more seriously. Integrated data-derived pathological images and genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics analyses have provided an understanding of the molecular basis of cancer and dramatically revealed interactions between circadian and immunity cycles. Here, we describe crosstalk between the circadian cycle signaling pathway and immunity cycle in cancer and discuss how tumor microenvironment affects the influence on treatment process based on individuals’ genetic differences. Moreover, we highlight recent advances in computational modeling that pave the way for personalized immune chronotherapy.

Abstract
Microglia are subject to change in tandem with the endogenously generated biological oscillations known as our circadian rhythm. Studies have shown microglia harbor an intrinsic molecular clock which regulates diurnal changes in morphology and influences inflammatory responses. In the adult brain, microglia play an important role in the regulation of condensed extracellular matrix structures called perineuronal nets (PNNs), and it has been suggested that PNNs are also regulated in a circadian and diurnal manner. We sought to determine whether microglia mediate the diurnal regulation of PNNs via CSF1R inhibitor dependent microglial depletion in C57BL/6J mice, and how the absence of microglia might affect cortical diurnal gene expression rhythms. While we observe diurnal differences in microglial morphology, where microglia are most ramified at the onset of the dark phase, we do not find diurnal differences in PNN intensity. However, PNN intensity increases across many brain regions in the absence of microglia, supporting a role for microglia in the regulation of PNNs. Here, we also show that cortical diurnal gene expression rhythms are intact, with no cycling gene changes without microglia. These findings demonstrate a role for microglia in the maintenance of PNNs, but not in the maintenance of diurnal rhythms.

Abstract
Cell senescence is a crucial process in cell fate determination and is involved in an extensive array of aging-associated diseases. General perceptions and experimental evidence point out that the decline of physical function as well as aging-associated diseases are often initiated by cell senescence and organ ageing. Therefore, regulation of cell senescence process can be a promising way to handle aging-associated diseases such as osteoporosis. The circadian clock regulates a wide range of cellular and physiological activities, and many age-linked degenerative disorders are associated with the dysregulation of clock genes. BMAL1 is a core circadian transcription factor and governs downstream genes by binding to the E-box elements in their promoters. Compelling evidence has proposed the role of BMAL1 in cellular senescence and aging-associated diseases. In this review, we summarize the linkage between BMAL1 and factors of cell senescence including oxidative stress, metabolism, and the genotoxic stress response. Dysregulated and dampened BMAL1 may serve as a potential therapeutic target against aging- associated diseases.

Abstract
The circadian clock system is an evolutionarily conserved system by which organisms adapt their metabolic activities to environmental inputs, including nutrient availability. The disruption of this system has been pathogenically linked to the disintegration of metabolic homeostasis, leading to the development of metabolic complications, including obesity. Lifestyle factors that disrupt this system have been found to be associated with the development of metabolic disorder, which is most evidenced by the finding that shift workers are at an increased risk of developing various disorders, such as obesity and obesity-related complications. Lifestyle factors that contribute to a misalignment between the internal clock system and environmental rhythms have also been identified in children. A short sleep duration and skipping breakfast are prevalent in children and there is mounting evidence that these factors are associated with an increased risk of pediatric obesity; however, the underlying mechanisms have not yet been elucidated in detail. Our current understanding of the impact of lifestyle factors that cause a misalignment between the internal clock system and environmental rhythms on the development of pediatric obesity is summarized herein, with a discussion of potential mechanistic factors.

Abstract
Circadian rhythm perturbations can impact the evolution of different conditions, including autoimmune diseases. This narrative review summarizes the current understanding of circadian biology in inflammatory joint diseases and discusses the potential application of chronotherapy. Proinflammatory cytokines are key players in the development and progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), regulating cell survival/apoptosis, differentiation, and proliferation. The production and secretion of inflammatory cytokines show a dependence on the human day–night cycle, resulting in changing cytokine plasma levels over 24 h. Moreover, beyond the circadian rhythm of cytokine secretion, disturbances in timekeeping mechanisms have been proposed in RA. Taking into consideration chronotherapy concepts, modified-release (MR) prednisone tablets have been introduced to counteract the negative effects of night-time peaks of proinflammatory cytokines. Low-dose MR prednisone seems to be able to improve the course of RA, reduce morning stiffness and morning serum levels of IL-6, and induce significant clinical benefits. Additionally, methotrexate (MTX) chronotherapy has been reported to be associated with a significant improvement in RA activity score. Similar effects have been described for polymyalgia rheumatica and gout, although the available literature is still limited. Growing knowledge of chronobiology applied to inflammatory joint diseases could stimulate the development of new drug strategies to treat patients in accordance with biological rhythms and minimize side effects.

Abstract
Aging is one of the greatest risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases, and cellular senescence is one of the major causes of aging and age-related diseases. The persistent presence of senescent cells in late life seems to cause disarray in a tissue-specific manner. Aging disrupts the circadian clock system, which results in the development of many age-related diseases such as metabolic syndrome, cancer, cardiac diseases, and sleep disorders and an increased susceptibility to infections. In this review, we first discuss cellular senescence and some of its basic characteristics and detrimental roles. Then, we discuss a relatively unexplored topic on the link between cellular senescence and the circadian clock and attempt to determine whether cellular senescence could be the underlying factor for circadian clock disruption.

Abstract
Background: The driving force behind osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis is an anabolic-catabolic (a/c) imbalance. Melatonin (MT) is a key player in maintaining a/c stability and mitigates OA pathogenesis, but mechanisms underlying its effects remain poorly understood. Objectives: We performed a systematic review analyzing the experimental data that support the clinical applicability of MT in the treatment of OA pathogenesis, placing particular emphasis on the regulation of circadian rhythms and a/c balance. Methods: Major electronic databases and grey literature were used to identify related original articles. Methodological quality of all selected studies was evaluated using the SYRCLE risk of bias tool. Pooled mean differences (MDs)/standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the effect size. Results: Eleven trials were included in this systematic review. Compared with the control group, MT significantly decreased the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β; SMD = −5.45; 95% CI [−6.78, −4.12]; p < 0.00001, and histological grading scale (SMD = −3.46; 95% CI, [−5.24, −1.68]; p < 0.0001). MT significantly increased the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1; SMD = 1.17; 95% CI [0.31, 2.03]; p < 0.0007). Furthermore, core circadian clock genes Per2 and Cry1 mRNA levels were regulated by MT treatment in OA progression. Conclusion: MT may maintain a/c balance and regulate circadian rhythms during OA development. MT could be used in as adjunct with other interventions to manage pain and OA severity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nucleus pulposus (NP) plays a central role in disc degeneration pathogenesis, however, as a heterogeneous tissue, cell subsets in NP and their corresponding biological process in intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) are unreported. METHOD Nucleus pulposus were isolated from normal control and IVDD, and then subjected to single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Unsupervised clustering of the cells based on the gene expression profiles using the Seurat package and passed to tSNE for clustering visualization. Rat model of disc degeneration was built to validate the pathways identified by scRNA-Seq. RESULTS Seven chondrocyte subsets were revealed in NP based on differential gene expression, among which 4 subsets (C1-C4) were reported for the first time. Furthermore, GO and KEGG analyses discovered that ferroptosis pathways were enriched. Rat model of disc degeneration was built (n = 6/group, control vs. model) to validate the pathways identified by scRNA-Seq. Iron levels of NP were significantly higher in model group than control group (means 0.712 vs. 0.248, respectively, mg/gpro, p = 0.0026), and the levels of Heme Oxygenase 1 (HO-1) were also elevated in model group (means 14.33 vs. 5.16 IOD, respectively, p = 0.0002). However, the levels of ferritin light chain (FTL) were significantly decreased in model group compared to control group (means 26.17 vs. 9.00 FTL+ cell number, respectively, p = 0.0011). CONCLUSIONS Novel chondrocyte subsets in nucleus pulposus were discovered through scRNA-Seq, which provided novel insight to understand the pathological change during the development of IVDD. Ferroptosis participated in disc degeneration pathogenesis and it might serve as a new target for intervening IVDD.

Abstract
The circadian clock is a specialized cell signalling pathway present in all cells. Loss of clock function leads to tissue degeneration and premature ageing in animal models demonstrating the fundamental importance of clocks for cell, tissue and organism health. There is now considerable evidence that the chondrocyte circadian clock is altered in OA. The purpose of this review is to summarize current knowledge regarding the nature of the change in the chondrocyte clock in OA and the implications of this change for disease development. Expression of the core clock component, BMAL1, has consistently been shown to be lower in OA chondrocytes. This may contribute to changes in chondrocyte differentiation and extracellular matrix turnover in disease. Circadian clocks are highly responsive to environmental factors. Mechanical loading, diet, inflammation and oxidative insult can all influence clock function. These factors may contribute to causing the change in the chondrocyte clock in OA.

Abstract
The physiological processes of most living organisms follow a rhythmic pattern, which is controlled by the interaction between environmental cues and the internal circadian timing system. Different regulatory circadian genes are expressed in most cells and tissues, and disruptions in the sleep-wake cycle affect these genes, which may result in metabolic disorders and cause alterations of the immune system. The manifestations of these disrupted genes are evident in inflammatory conditions such as periodontitis and some viral diseases, including COVID-19. The brain and muscle ARNT-like protein-1 (Bmal1), an important circadian regulatory gene, decreases when the sleep-wake cycle is disrupted. Circadian genes have been linked to different events, including cytokine storm in inflammatory conditions and virus invasion. The evaluation of the effects of these regulatory circadian genes, especially Bmal1, in periodontitis and viral infection suggests that both diseases may have a common pathogenesis via the NF-κB pathway. This brief review highlights the role and importance of the circadian clock gene Bmal1 in the disease process of periodontitis and suggests its role and importance in viral infections, including COVID-19.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cartilage in joints such as the hip and knee experiences repeated phases of heavy loading and low load recovery during the 24-h day/night cycle. Our previous work has shown 24 h rhythmic changes in gene expression at transcript level between night and day in wild type mouse cartilage which is lost in a circadian clock knock-out mouse model. However, it remains unknown to what extent circadian rhythms also regulate protein level gene expression in this matrix rich tissue. METHODS We investigated daily changes of protein abundance in mouse femoral head articular cartilage by performing a 48-h time-series LC-MS/MS analysis. RESULTS Out of the 1,177 proteins we identified across all time points, 145 proteins showed rhythmic changes in their abundance within the femoral head cartilage. Among these were molecules that have been implicated in key cartilage functions, including CTGF, MATN1, PAI-1 and PLOD1 & 2. Pathway analysis revealed that protein synthesis, cytoskeleton and glucose metabolism exhibited time-of-day dependent functions. Analysis of published cartilage proteomics datasets revealed that a significant portion of rhythmic proteins were dysregulated in osteoarthritis and/or ageing. CONCLUSIONS Our circadian proteomics study reveals that articular cartilage is a much more dynamic tissue than previously thought, with chondrocytes driving circadian rhythms not only in gene transcription but also in protein abundance. Our results clearly call for the consideration of circadian timing mechanisms not only in cartilage biology, but also in the pathogenesis, treatment strategies and biomarker detection in osteoarthritis.

Abstract
To design potentially more effective therapies, we need to further understand the mechanisms underlying epilepsy. Here, we uncover the role of Rev-erbα in circadian regulation of epileptic seizures. We first show up-regulation of REV-ERBα/Rev-erbα in brain tissues from patients with epilepsy and a mouse model. Ablation or pharmacological modulation of Rev-erbα in mice decreases the susceptibility to acute and chronic seizures, and abolishes diurnal rhythmicity in seizure severity, whereas activation of Rev-erbα increases the animal susceptibility. Rev-erbα ablation or antagonism also leads to prolonged spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents and elevated frequency in the mouse hippocampus, indicating enhanced GABAergic signaling. We also identify the transporters Slc6a1 and Slc6a11 as regulators of Rev-erbα-mediated clearance of GABA. Mechanistically, Rev-erbα promotes the expressions of Slc6a1 and Slc6a11 through transcriptional repression of E4bp4. Our findings propose Rev-erbα as a regulator of synaptic function at the crosstalk between pathways regulating the circadian clock and epilepsy.

Abstract
Circadian clocks in the brain and peripheral tissues temporally coordinate local physiology to align with the 24 hours rhythmic environment through light/darkness, rest/activity and feeding/fasting cycles. Circadian disruptions (during ageing, shift work and jet-lag) have been proposed as a risk factor for degeneration and disease of tissues, including the musculoskeletal system. The intervertebral disc (IVD) in the spine separates the bony vertebrae and permits movement of the spinal column. IVD degeneration is highly prevalent among the ageing population and is a leading cause of lower back pain. The IVD is known to experience diurnal changes in loading patterns driven by the circadian rhythm in rest/activity cycles. In recent years, emerging evidence indicates the existence of molecular circadian clocks within the IVD, disruption to which accelerates tissue ageing and predispose animals to IVD degeneration. The cell-intrinsic circadian clocks in the IVD control key aspects of physiology and pathophysiology by rhythmically regulating the expression of ~3.5% of the IVD transcriptome, allowing cells to cope with the drastic biomechanical and chemical changes that occur throughout the day. Indeed, epidemiological studies on long-term shift workers have shown an increased incidence of lower back pain. In this review, we summarise recent findings of circadian rhythms in health and disease, with the IVD as an exemplar tissue system. We focus on rhythmic IVD functions and discuss implications of utilising biological timing mechanisms to improve tissue health and mitigate degeneration. These findings may have broader implications in chronic rheumatic conditions, given the recent findings of musculoskeletal circadian clocks.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) are two highly prevalent chronic diseases for which effective therapies are urgently needed. Recent epidemiologic studies, although scarce, suggest that the concomitant occurrence of OA and OSA is associated with more severe manifestations of both diseases. Moreover, OA and OSA share risk factors, such as aging and metabolic disturbances, and co-morbidities, including cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, sleep deprivation and depression. Whether this coincidental occurrence is fortuitous or involves cause-effect relationships is unknown. This review aims at collating and integrating present knowledge on both diseases by providing a brief overview of their epidemiology and pathophysiology, analyzing current evidences relating OA and OSA and discussing potential common mechanisms by which they can aggravate each other. Such mechanisms constitute potential therapeutic targets whose pharmacological modulation may provide more efficient ways of reducing the consequences of OA and OSA and, thus, lessen the huge individual and social burden that they impose.

Abstract
The circadian clock is a complex cellular mechanism that controls a series of physiological processes, including inflammation. It can directly interact physically with the components of the key inflammatory pathway. Similarly, inflammation can also lead to circadian rhythm disorders, which may further amplify the inflammatory response and aggravate tissue damage. This review offers a structured overview that focusses on the core proteins of the circadian clock and their interactions with inflammatory players, and provides a potential mechanism for the pathological rhythms observed under inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and debilitating joint disease which develops and progresses with age. Despite extensive research into the disease, potent disease-modifying drugs remain elusive. Changes to the character and function of chondrocytes of the articular cartilage underly the pathogenesis of OA. A recently emerging facet of chondrocyte biology that has been implicated in OA pathogenesis is the role of circadian rhythms, and the cellular clock which governs rhythmic gene transcription. Here, we review the role of the chondrocyte's cellular clock in governing normal homeostasis, and explore the wide range of consequences that contribute to OA development when the clock is dysregulated by aging and other factors. Finally, we explore how harnessing this understanding of clock mechanics in aging and OA can be translated into novel treatment strategies, or 'chronotherapies', for patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was recently adopted for exploring molecular programmes and lineage progression patterns of pathogenesis of important diseases. In this study, scRNA-seq was used to identify potential markers for chondrocytes in osteoarthritis (OA) and to explore the function of different types of chondrocytes in OA. METHODS Here we aimed to identify the biomarkers and differentiation of chondrocyte by Single-cell RNA seq analysis. GeneOntology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis were used to identify the function of candidate marker genes in chondrocytes. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to find the hub genes in 3 types of chondrocyte respectively. We also used qRT-PCR to detect the expression level of the candidate marker genes in different types of chondrocyte. RESULTS In this study, we characterized the single-cell expression profiling of 480 chondrocyte samples and found hypertrophic chondrocyte (HTC), homeostatic chondrocyte (HomC) and fibrocartilage chondrocyte (FC) respectively. The results of GO and KEGG analysis showed the candidate marker genes made specific function in these chondrocytes to regulate the development of OAs respectively. We further revealed the differential expression of top 10 marker genes in 3 types of chondrocyte. The marker genes of HTC and FC were mainly expressed in their cell subset respectively. The marker genes of HomC did not have obviously differential expression among different types of chondrocyte. Last, we predicted the key genes in each cell subset. CD44, JUN and FN1 were predicted tightly related to the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes in OAs and could be regarded as biomarkers to estimate the development of OA. CONCLUSION Our results provide new insights into exploring the roles of different types of chondrocyte in OA. The biomarkers of chondrocyte were also valuable for estimating OA progression.

Front Pharmacol 2020; 11:527744. [PMID: 33041790 PMCID: PMC7530270 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2020.527744] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2020] [Accepted: 08/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the role of the circadian gene Bmal1 in human cartilage and its crosstalk with the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA). We verified the periodical variation of the circadian gene Bmal1 and then established a modified multiple platform method (MMPM) to induce circadian rhythm disturbance leading to TMJ-OA. IL-6, p-ERK, and Bmal1 mRNA and protein expression levels were assessed by real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Chondrocytes were treated with an ERK inhibitor (U0126), siRNA and plasmid targeting Bmal1 under IL-6 simulation; then, the cells were subjected to Western blotting to analyze the relationship between Bmal1 and the MAPK/ERK pathway. We found that sleep rhythm disturbance can downregulate the circadian gene BMAL-1 and improve phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK) and IL-6 levels. Furthermore, Bmal1 siRNA transfection was sufficient to improve the p-ERK level and aggravate OA-like gene expression changes under IL-6 stimulation. Bmal1 overexpression relieved the alterations induced by IL-6, which was consistent with the effect of U0126 (an ERK inhibitor). However, we also found that BMAL1 upregulation can decrease ERK phosphorylation, whereas ERK downregulation did not change BMAL1 expression. Collectively, this study provides new insight into the regulatory mechanism that links chondrocyte BMAL1 to cartilage maintenance and repair in TMJ-OA via the MAPK/ERK pathway and suggests that circadian rhythm disruption is a risk factor for TMJ-OA.

Abstract
The circadian clock is a collection of endogenous oscillators with a periodicity of ~ 24 h. Recently, our understanding of circadian rhythms and their regulation at genomic and physiologic scales has grown significantly. Knowledge of the circadian influence on biological processes has provided new possibilities for novel pharmacological strategies. Directly targeting the biological clock or its downstream targets, and/or using timing as a variable in drug therapy are now important pharmacological considerations. The circadian machinery mediates many aspects of the inflammatory response and, reciprocally, an inflammatory environment can disrupt circadian rhythms. Therefore, intense interest exists in leveraging circadian biology as a means to treat chronic inflammatory diseases such as sepsis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and cardiovascular disease, which all display some type of circadian signature. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the crosstalk between circadian rhythms, inflammatory diseases, and their pharmacological treatment. Evidence suggests that carefully rationalized application of chronotherapy strategies - alone or in combination with small molecule modulators of circadian clock components - can improve efficacy and reduce toxicity, thus warranting further investigation and use.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Cigarette smoking has been shown to be associated with sleep disorders and the related neuropathogenesis including neuroinflammation. Previous studies showed that pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines are physiologically important in maintaining circadian function. In addition, sleep deprivation leads to immune dysregulations. However, no study has been published yet by using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of neuroinflammation to investigate the relationship between active cigarette smoking and sleep disorders. METHODS CSF tissues from subjects of 191 male subjects (non-smokers n = 104; active smokers n = 87) receiving local anesthesia before surgery for anterior cruciate ligament injuries were obtained after the assessment of clinical information and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), Interleukin (IL) 1 beta (IL1β), IL2, IL4, IL6 and IL10 were measured using radioimmunoassay and ELISA. RESULTS PSQI scores were significantly higher in active smokers than that in non-smokers (p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 0.63). Significantly higher levels of CSF TNFα were found in active smokers compared to non-smokers (28 ± 1.97 vs. 22.97 ± 2.48, p < 0.05, Cohen's d = 2.23). There was a positive correlation between CSF IL1β levels and PSQI scores in non-smokers (r = 0.31, p = 0.01, adjustment R-Squared = 0.11). DISCUSSION This is the first study to reveal the association between higher CSF TNFα levels and poorer sleep quality in active smoking. In addition, CSF IL1β levels might be a potential biomarker in central nervous system for circadian dysregulation.

Abstract
We uncover a cycling and NF-κB-driven lncRNA (named Lnc-UC) that epigenetically modifies transcription of circadian clock gene Rev-erbα, thereby linking circadian clock to colitis. Cycling expression of Lnc-UC is generated by the central clock protein Bmal1 via an E-box element. NF-κB activation in experimental colitis transcriptionally drives Lnc-UC through direct binding to two κB sites. Lnc-UC ablation disrupts colonic expressions of clock genes in mice; particularly, Rev-erbα is down-regulated and its diurnal rhythm is blunted. Consistently, Lnc-UC promotes expression of Rev-erbα (a known dual NF-κB/Nlrp3 repressor) to inactivate NF-κB signaling and Nlrp3 inflammasome in macrophages. Furthermore, Lnc-UC ablation sensitizes mice to experimental colitis and abolishes the diurnal rhythmicity in disease severity. Mechanistically, Lnc-UC physically interacts with Cbx1 protein to reduce its gene silencing activity via H3K9me3, thereby enhancing Rev-erbα transcription and expression. In addition, we identify a human Lnc-UC that has potential to promote Rev-erbα expression and restrain inflammations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Abnormal chondrocyte gene expression promotes osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. A previous RNA-sequencing study revealed that circadian rhythm pathway and expression of core clock gene cryptochrome 2 (CRY2) are dysregulated in human OA cartilage. Here we determined expression patterns and function CRY1 and CRY2. METHODS CRY mRNA and protein expression was analyzed in normal and OA human and mouse cartilage. Mice with deletion of Cry1 or Cry2 were analyzed for severity of experimental OA and to determine genes and pathways that are regulated by Cry. RESULTS In human OA cartilage, CRY2 but not CRY1 staining and mRNA expression was significantly decreased. Cry2 was also suppressed in mice with aging-related OA. Cry2 knock out (KO) but not Cry1 KO mice with experimental OA showed significantly increased severity of histopathological changes in cartilage, subchondral bone and synovium. In OA chondrocytes, the levels of CRY1 and CRY2 and the amplitude of circadian fluctuation were significantly lower. RNA-seq on knee articular cartilage of wild-type and Cry2 KO mice identified 53 differentially expressed genes, including known Cry2 target circadian genes Nr1d1, Nr1d2, Dbp and Tef. Pathway analysis that circadian rhythm and extracellular matrix remodeling were dysregulated in Cry2 KO mice. CONCLUSIONS These results show an active role of the circadian clock in general, and of CRY2 in particular, in maintaining extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis in cartilage. This cell autonomous network of circadian rhythm genes is disrupted in OA chondrocytes. Targeting CRY2 has potential to correct abnormal gene expression patterns and reduce the severity of OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a high-morbidity skeletal disease worldwide and the exact mechanisms underlying OA pathogenesis are not fully understood. Casein kinase 1 epsilon (CK1ε) is a serine/threonine protein kinase, but its relationship with OA is still unknown. We demonstrated that CK1ε was upregulated in articular cartilage of human patients with OA and mice with experimentally induced OA. Activity of CK1ε, demonstrated by analysis of phosphorylated substrates, was significantly elevated in interleukin (IL)-1β-induced OA-mimicking chondrocytes. CK1ε inhibitor or CK1ε short hairpin RNA (shRNA) partially blocked matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression by primary chondrocytes induced by IL-1β, and also inhibited cartilage destruction in knee joints of experimental OA model mice. Conversely, overexpression of CK1ε promoted chondrocyte catabolism. Previous studies indicated that CK1ε was involved in canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling and noncanonical Wnt/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway. Interestingly, the activity of JNK but not β-catenin decreased after CK1ε knockdown in IL-1β-treated chondrocytes in vitro, and JNK inhibition reduced MMP expression in chondrocytes overexpressing CK1ε, which illustrated that CK1ε-mediated OA was based on JNK pathway. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that CK1ε promotes OA development, and inhibition of CK1ε could be a potential strategy for OA treatment in the future.

Abstract
Postoperative pain relief is crucial for full recovery. With the ongoing opioid epidemic and the insufficient effect of acetaminophen on severe pain; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are heavily used to alleviate this pain. However, NSAIDs are known to inhibit postoperative healing of connective tissues by inhibiting prostaglandin signaling. Pain intensity, inflammatory mediators associated with wound healing and the pharmacological action of NSAIDs vary throughout the day due to the circadian rhythm regulated by the clock genes. According to this rhythm, most of wound healing mediators and connective tissue formation occurs during the resting phase, while pain, inflammation and tissue resorption occur during the active period of the day. Here we show, in a murine tibia fracture surgical model, that NSAIDs are most effective in managing postoperative pain, healing and recovery when drug administration is limited to the active phase of the circadian rhythm. Limiting NSAID treatment to the active phase of the circadian rhythm resulted in overexpression of circadian clock genes, such as Period 2 (Per2) at the healing callus, and increased serum levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-13 (IL-13), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and vascular endothelial growth factor. By contrast, NSAID administration during the resting phase resulted in severe bone healing impairment.

Abstract
![]()
Juvenile
myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is an aggressive myeloproliferative
neoplasm of early childhood with a poor survival rate, thus there
is a requirement for improved treatment strategies. Induced pluripotent
stem cells offer the ability to model disease and develop new treatment
strategies. JMML is frequently associated with mutations in PTPN11. Children with Noonan syndrome, a development disorder,
have an increased incidence of JMML associated with specific germline
mutations in PTPN11. We undertook a proteomic assessment
of myeloid cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells obtained
from Noonan syndrome patients with PTPN11 mutations,
either associated or not associated with an increased incidence of
JMML. We report that the proteomic perturbations induced by the leukemia-associated PTPN11 mutations are associated with TP53 and NF-Kκb
signaling. We have previously shown that MYC is involved in the differential
gene expression observed in Noonan syndrome patients associated with
an increased incidence of JMML. Thus, we employed drugs to target
these pathways and demonstrate differential effects on clonogenic
hematopoietic cells derived from Noonan syndrome patients, who develop
JMML and those who do not. Further, we demonstrated these small molecular
inhibitors, JQ1 and CBL0137, preferentially extinguish primitive hematopoietic
cells from sporadic JMML patients as opposed to cells from healthy
individuals.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common chronic disease in the elderly and leads to a high rate of disability. Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang (DHJST), a Chinese traditional medicinal formula, is a classic prescription for the treatment of KOA. Here, we investigated whether DHJST could inhibit inflammation and treat KOA through suppressing NLRP3/nuclear factor (NF)-κB inflammatory signals in rats. The serum levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, p-NF-κB-P65, and p-IκBa were detected in healthy adults and patients with KOA before and after treatment. Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into normal group, model group, diclofenac sodium group (5 mg/kg), DHJST high-dose group (1 g/kg), and DHJST low-dose group (0.5 g/kg). The right hind knee joint of the rats, except normal group, was injected with 4% papain (0.25 mL/kg) once every 7 days for three times. All rats were treated for 3 weeks. The swelling volume of right hind paw; five classification of inflammatory cells in synovial fluid; pathological changes of the knee-joint synovial membrane and cartilage; levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in serum and knee-joint synovial fluid; and the expressions of NLRP3/NF-κB inflammatory signals in the knee-joint synovial membrane were detected. The serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, p-NF-κB-P65, and p-IκBa in KOA patients treated with DHJST were significantly decreased. The KOA rats treated with DHJST showed significant decreases in swelling volume of right hind paws; the percentage of leukocyte, lymphocyte, neutrophil, and eosinophils in synovial fluid; the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in serum and knee-joint synovial fluid; and the expressions of NLRP3 ASC, Caspase-1, IL-1β, p-NF-κB-P65, and p-IκBa in the knee-joint synovial membrane, and showed an alleviation in pathological changes of the knee-joint synovial membrane and cartilage. Our data provide the first evidence that DHJST relieves KOA via suppressing NLRP3/NF-κB inflammatory signals in rats

Physiological and Pathological Role of Circadian Hormones in Osteoarthritis: Dose-Dependent or Time-Dependent? J Clin Med 2019; 8:jcm8091415. [PMID: 31500387 PMCID: PMC6781184 DOI: 10.3390/jcm8091415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2019] [Revised: 08/27/2019] [Accepted: 09/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, may be triggered by improper secretion of circadian clock-regulated hormones, such as melatonin, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), or cortisol. The imbalance of these hormones alters the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and cartilage degenerative enzymes in articular cartilage, resulting in cartilage erosion, synovial inflammation, and osteophyte formation, the major hallmarks of OA. In this review, we summarize the effects of circadian melatonin, TSH, and cortisol on OA, focusing on how different levels of these hormones affect OA pathogenesis and recovery with respect to the circadian clock. We also highlight the effects of melatonin, TSH, and cortisol at different concentrations both in vivo and in vitro, which may help to elucidate the relationship between circadian hormones and OA.

Abstract
In this outlook, Gachon et al. discuss the findings of the study by Hong et al., in which the authors research the question of how acute and chronic inflammation interacts with the circadian clock. Mammalian physiology resonates with the daily changes in the external environment, allowing processes such as rest–activity cycles, metabolism, and body temperature to synchronize with daily changes in the surroundings. Studies have identified the molecular underpinnings of robust oscillations in gene expression occurring over the 24-h day, but how acute or chronic perturbations modulate gene expression rhythms, physiology, and behavior is still relatively unknown. In this issue of Genes & Development, Hong and colleagues (pp. 1367–1379) studied how acute and chronic inflammation interacts with the circadian clock. They found that NF-κB signaling can modify chromatin states and modulate expression of genes in the core clock network as well as circadian locomotor behavior. Interestingly, a high-fat diet (HFD) fed to mice also triggers this inflammation pathway, suggesting that cross-regulatory circuits link inflammation, HFD, and the circadian clock.

Abstract
In mammals, most molecular and cellular processes show circadian changes, leading to daily variations in physiology and ultimately in behaviour. Such daily variations induce a temporal coordination of processes that is essential to ensure homeostasis and health. Thus, it is of no surprise that pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of many drugs are also subject to circadian variations, profoundly affecting their efficacy and tolerability. Understanding how circadian rhythms influence drug PK, PD, and toxicity might significantly improve treatment efficacy and decrease related side effects. Therefore, it is essential to take circadian variations into account and to determine circadian parameters in pharmacological studies, especially when drugs have a short half-life or target rhythmic processes. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge on circadian rhythms and their relevance to the field of pharmacology. Methodologies to evaluate circadian rhythms in vitro, in rodent models and in humans, from experimental to computational approaches, are described and discussed. Lastly, we aim at alerting the scientific, medical, and regulatory communities to the relevance of the physiological time, as a key parameter to be considered when designing pharmacological studies. This will eventually lead to more successful preclinical and clinical trials and pave the way to a more personalized treatment to the benefit of the patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The successful use of rose hip for the treatment of osteoarthritis is well documented. Several randomized placebo controlled double-blind studies, as mono or combination therapy, have demonstrated treatment efficacy as well as excellent tolerability. PURPOSE This review focuses on the molecular mechanism underlying the clinical effects of rose hip in osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS The database Medline was screened - using the search term "Rosa canina" or "rose hip" - for publications on pharmacological or mechanistic studies with relevance to OA; in addition for findings on pharmacologically active constituents as well as clinical studies. The screening results were complemented by following-up on cited literature. RESULTS In particular, 24 pharmacological studies on Rosa canina or preparations thereof were considered relevant. Potent antioxidant radical scavenging effects are well documented for numerous rose hip constituents besides Vitamin C. Furthermore, anti-inflammatory activities include the reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, reduction of NF-kB signaling, inhibition of pro-inflammatory enzymes, including COX1/2, 5-LOX and iNOS, reduction of C-reactive protein levels, reduction of chemotaxis and chemoluminescence of PMNs, and an inhibition of pro-inflammatory metalloproteases. CONCLUSION The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of Rosa canina match its clinical action - especially considering new findings on the pharmacological disease pattern of OA. The entirety of several compounds including phenolics, terpenoids, galactolipids, carotenoids, fruit acids and fatty oils can be considered responsible for the observed pharmacological and clinical effects. Further research is needed to eludicate how and in which manner single rose hip compounds interact with their molecular pharmacological targets.

Abstract
While many of intricacies of the mammalian circadian rhythm remain unknown, the role that this physiological clock plays in our everyday lives and within the global ecosystem is clearly evident. However, only recently has the importance of circadian rhythm in cartilage health and joint homeostasis been brought to light. A recent study by Hand and colleagues advances our understanding of these processes further by demonstrating that disruption of circadian clock regulation in mesenchymal cells not only has an impact on the development of joint structures, but on the inflammatory response and on the onset/pathogenesis of arthritis.
