Inflammatory markers in early knee joint osteoarthritis differ from well-matched controls and are associated with consistent, rather than intermittent knee pain. Knee 2024; 51:189-198. [PMID: 39366275 DOI: 10.1016/j.knee.2024.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 09/09/2024] [Indexed: 10/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterised by the failure of normal biological processes to repair following damage. Traditionally, OA was considered a "wear and tear" disorder; however, it is now a recognised inflammatory condition, preceded by molecular modifications. The aim of this study was to evaluate inflammatory markers among individuals with early knee OA (eKOA) and well-matched asymptomatic controls. METHODS Twenty six eKOA (females, n = 13; age = 60.2 ± 5.4 yrs, height = 1.73 ± 0.11 m, body mass = 77.8 ± 12.8 kg, body fat = 33.9 ± 8.5%) and twenty-three asymptomatic individuals (females, n = 14; age = 59.9 ± 5.5yrs, height = 1.71 ± 0.09 m, body mass = 72.6 ± 11.3 kg, body fat = 30.4 ± 8.2%) were recruited. The Timed Up and Go, and the 6 Minute Walk Tests evaluated physical function in addition to pain specific questionnaires (KOOS and ICOAP). Serum levels of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8(CXCL8), IL-10, hsCRP and TNF-α were quantified using a multiplex assay via V-plex®Sector Imager 2400. RESULTS As hypothesised, only KOOS and EQ-5D-5L metrics differed between the groups for non-blood derived measures (p < 0.04). Only IL-6 was higher in eKOA (P = 0.02; 95% CI = 0.202; by 0.197 pg/mL; 34.5%). Among eKOA, IL-6 did not relate to severity of KOOS pain (P = 0.696, r = -0.088), but had a positive relationship with ICOAP consistent (r = 0.469, P = 0.045) rather than intermittent pain. There was a moderate correlation between 6MWD and IL-8 (r = 0.471, P = 0.012). CONCLUSION Our results illustrate the potential for IL-6 as a biomarker for eKOA, and introduce the proposition for particular consideration in those with consistent pain. Further, for the first time the present data showed greater walking distance in eKOA with lower circulating IL-8. Future work should seek to verify these results and further investigate IL-6 and IL-8 related molecular pathways in eKOA, and their potential relationships with consistent knee pain and physical function.

Abstract
Worldwide, osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common cause of joint pain in older people. Many factors contribute to osteoarthritis' development and progression, including secondary osteoarthritis' underlying causes. It is important to note that osteoarthritis affects all four tissues: cartilage, bone, joint capsule, and articular apparatus. An increasingly prominent area of research in osteoarthritis regulation is microRNAs (miRNAs), a small, single-stranded RNA molecule that controls gene expression in eukaryotes. We aimed to assess and summarize current knowledge about the mechanisms of the action of miRNAs and their clinical significance. Osteoarthritis (OA) is affected by the interaction between miRNAs and inflammatory processes, as well as cartilage metabolism. MiRNAs also influence cartilage cell apoptosis, contributing to the degradation of the cartilage in OA. Studies have shown that miRNAs may have both an inhibitory and promoting effect on osteoporosis progression through their influence on molecular mechanisms. By identifying these regulators, targeted treatments for osteoarthritis may be developed. In addition, microRNA may also serve as a biomarker for osteoarthritis. By using these biomarkers, the disease could be detected faster, and early intervention can be instituted to prevent mobility loss and slow deterioration.

Abstract
Objective To further validate a serum proteomics panel for predicting radiographic (structural) knee OA progression. Design Serum peptides were targeted by multiple-reaction-monitoring mass spectrometry in the New York University cohort (n = 104). Knee OA progression was defined as joint space narrowing ≥1 in the tibiofemoral compartment of one knee per study participant over a 24-month follow-up. The discriminative ability of an 11-peptide panel was evaluated by multivariable logistic regression and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), without and with demographic characteristics of age, sex, and body mass index. The association of each peptide with OA progression was assessed by odds ratios (OR) in multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for demographics. Results The cohort included 46 (44%) knee OA progressors. The panel of 11 peptides alone yielded AUC = 0.66 (95% CI [0.55, 0.77]) for discriminating progressors from non-progressors; demographic traits alone yielded AUC = 0.66 (95% CI [0.55, 0.77]). Together the 11 peptides and demographics yielded AUC = 0.72 (95% CI [0.62, 0.83]). CRAC1 had the highest odds for predicting OA progression (OR 2.014, 95% CI [0.996, 4.296], p = 0.058). Conclusions We evaluated a parsimonious serum proteomic panel and found it to be a good discriminator of knee radiographic OA progression from non-progression. Since these biomarkers are quantifiable in serum, they could be deployed relatively easily to provide a simple, cost-effective strategy for identifying and monitoring individuals at high risk of knee OA progression.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease. Currently there are no effective methods that simultaneously prevent joint degeneration and reduce pain1. Although limited evidence suggests the existence of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) in chondrocytes2, their expression and function in chondrocytes and in OA remain essentially unknown. Here we identify Nav1.7 as an OA-associated VGSC and demonstrate that human OA chondrocytes express functional Nav1.7 channels, with a density of 0.1 to 0.15 channels per µm2 and 350 to 525 channels per cell. Serial genetic ablation of Nav1.7 in multiple mouse models demonstrates that Nav1.7 expressed in dorsal root ganglia neurons is involved in pain, whereas Nav1.7 in chondrocytes regulates OA progression. Pharmacological blockade of Nav1.7 with selective or clinically used pan-Nav channel blockers significantly ameliorates the progression of structural joint damage, and reduces OA pain behaviour. Mechanistically, Nav1.7 blockers regulate intracellular Ca2+ signalling and the chondrocyte secretome, which in turn affects chondrocyte biology and OA progression. Identification of Nav1.7 as a novel chondrocyte-expressed, OA-associated channel uncovers a dual target for the development of disease-modifying and non-opioid pain relief treatment for OA.

Abstract
Background Osteoarthritis is one of the principal causes of chronic joint disease and may progressively engender disability in elderly individuals. The present study aimed to identify differentially expressed genes and associated signaling pathways in end-stage osteoarthritis. Methods Differentially expressed messenger RNAs in the early and end stages of osteoarthritis were examined through gene expression omnibus 2R (GEO2R) in the GSE32317 dataset. Subsequently, gene ontology (GO) enrichment, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analyses were conducted. Furthermore, microRNAs targeting hub genes were investigated using the miRcode database. This study was conducted jointly at Bam University of Medical Sciences and Rajaie Cardiovascular, Medical and Research Center on October 2022. Results Differentially expressed data demonstrated downregulation in 134 genes and upregulation in 189 genes in end-stage knee osteoarthritis. The results of the enrichment and PPI analyses determined 4 end-stage knee osteoarthritis-related hub genes: IL-1B, CD19, CACNA1G, and ALDH18A1. The knee osteoarthritis-related key genes were involved in the Wnt signaling, B cell receptor signaling, calcium signaling, circadian entrainment, arginine and proline metabolism, axon guidance, and cytokine-cytokine receptor pathways. Additionally, the microRNAs targeting the 4 aforementioned genes were predicted. Conclusion The present study is the first to provide fresh insights into the potential therapeutic targets of key genes, namely CD19, CACNA1G, and ALDH18A1, differentially expressed in end-stage osteoarthritis and their relevant signaling pathways and interactive microRNAs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize the safety, efficacy, and potential role of genicular artery embolization (GAE) as a disease-modifying treatment for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA). MATERIALS AND METHODS This is an interim analysis of a prospective, single-arm clinical trial of patients with symptomatic knee OA who failed conservative therapy for greater than 3 months. Sixteen patients who underwent GAE using 250-μm microspheres and had at least 1 month of follow-up were included. Six patients completed the 12-month follow-up, and 10 patients remain enrolled. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) was evaluated at baseline and at 1, 3, and 12 months. Serum and plasma samples were collected for biomarker analysis. The primary end point was the percentage of patients who achieved the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for WOMAC pain score at 12 months. Baseline and follow-up outcomes were analyzed using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test. RESULTS Technical success of the procedure was 100%, with no major adverse events. The MCID was achieved in 5 of the 6 (83%) patients at 12 months. The mean WOMAC pain score decreased from 8.6 ± 2.7 at baseline to 4.9 ± 2.7 (P = .001), 4.4 ± 2.8 (P < .001), and 4.7 ± 2.7 (P = .094) at 1, 3, and 12 months, respectively. There was a statistically significant decrease in nerve growth factor (NGF) levels at 12 months. The remaining 8 biomarkers showed no significant change at 12 months. CONCLUSIONS GAE is a safe and efficacious treatment for symptomatic knee OA. Decreased NGF levels after GAE may contribute to pain reduction and slowing of cartilage degeneration.

Abstract
Background The lack of disease modifying drugs in Osteoarthritis (OA) may be attributed to the difficulty in robust response based on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) linked to drug mechanism of action. Joint tissue turnover biomarkers are associated with disease progression. A subset of patients has elevated serum levels of CRP metabolite (CRPM). This explorative study investigates the associations between PROs and joint tissue turnover markers in patients with high or low CRPM. Methods Serum of 146 knee OA patients of the New York Inflammation cohort and 21 healthy donors were assessed for biomarkers of collagen degradation (C1M, C2M, C3M, C4M), formation (PRO-C1, PRO-C2, PRO-C3, PRO-C4), and CRPM. Mean (SD) age was 62.5 (10.1); BMI, 26.6 (3.6); 62% women; and, 67.6% had symptomatic OA. WOMAC pain, stiffness, function, and total were recorded at baseline and at two-year follow-up. Associations were adjusted for race, sex, age, BMI, and NSAID. Results There was no difference in markers between donors and patients. C2M correlated with the WOMAC scores in all CRPM groups. Significant correlations were observed between PROs and PRO-C4, C1M, and C3M in the CRPMhigh group. The best predictive models for improvement were found for function and total with AUCs of 0.74 (p < 0.01) and 0.78 (p < 0.01). The best predictive models for worsening were found for function and total with AUCs of 0.84 (p < 0.01) and 0.80 (p < 0.05). Conclusion We hypothesize that collagen markers are prognostic tools for segregating patient populations in clinical trials.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease with a series of metabolic changes accompanied by many altered enzymes. Here, we report that the down-regulated dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase-1 (DDAH1) is accompanied by increased asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in degenerated chondrocytes and in OA samples. Global or chondrocyte-conditional knockout of ADMA hydrolase DDAH1 accelerated OA development in mice. ADMA induces the degeneration and senescence of chondrocytes and reduces the extracellular matrix deposition, thereby accelerating OA progression. ADMA simultaneously binds to SOX9 and its deubiquitinating enzyme USP7, blocking the deubiquitination effects of USP7 on SOX9 and therefore leads to SOX9 degradation. The ADMA level in synovial fluids of patients with OA is increased and has predictive value for OA diagnosis with good sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, activating DDAH1 to reduce ADMA level might be a potential therapeutic strategy for OA treatment.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:80. [PMID: 36717802 PMCID: PMC9887842 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05979-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Agricultural workers have a higher incidence of osteoarthritis (OA), but the etiology behind this phenomenon is unclear. Calving season, which occurs in mid- to late-winter for ranchers, includes physical conditions that may elevate OA risk. Our primary aim was to determine whether OA biomarkers are elevated at the peak of calving season compared to pre-season, and to compare these data with joint health survey information from the subjects. Our secondary aim was to detect biomarker differences between male and female ranchers. METHODS During collection periods before and during calving season, male (n = 28) and female (n = 10) ranchers completed joint health surveys and provided samples of blood, urine, and saliva for biomarker analysis. Statistical analyses examined associations between mean biomarker levels and survey predictors. Ensemble cluster analysis identified groups having unique biomarker profiles. RESULTS The number of calvings performed by each rancher positively correlated with plasma IL-6, serum hyaluronic acid (HA) and urinary CTX-I. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), a marker of oxidative stress, was significantly higher during calving season than pre-season and was also correlated with ranchers having more months per year of joint pain. We found evidence of sexual dimorphism in the biomarkers among the ranchers, with leptin being elevated and matrix metalloproteinase-3 diminished in female ranchers. The opposite was detected in males. WOMAC score was positively associated with multiple biomarkers: IL-6, IL-2, HA, leptin, C2C, asymmetric dimethylarginine, and CTX-I. These biomarkers represent enzymatic degradation, inflammation, products of joint destruction, and OA severity. CONCLUSIONS The positive association between number of calvings performed by each rancher (workload) and both inflammatory and joint tissue catabolism biomarkers establishes that calving season is a risk factor for OA in Montana ranchers. Consistent with the literature, we found important sex differences in OA biomarkers, with female ranchers showing elevated leptin, whereas males showed elevated MMP-3.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative disease of the connective tissue of the human musculoskeletal system. Despite its widespread prevalence, there are many limitations in its diagnosis and treatment. OA diagnosis currently relies on the presence of clinical symptoms, sometimes accompanied by changes in joint X-rays or MRIs. Biomarkers help not only to diagnose early disease progression but also to understand the process of OA in many ways. In this article, we briefly summarize information on articular joints and joint tissues, the pathogenesis of OA and review the literature about biomarkers in the field of OA, specifically inflammatory cytokines/chemokines, proteins, miRNA, and metabolic biomarkers found in the blood, synovial fluid and in extracellular vesicles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Post-orthopaedic operative pain is a serious concern that often requires the administration of analgesics; however, the optimal time of analgesic administration is still inconclusive. Perioperative analgesia is administrating pre-emptive analgesia before and during the surgery followed by postoperative analgesia to decrease the procedure associated nociceptive response. We aim to assess perioperative meloxicam versus postoperative meloxicam for pain control after orthopaedic operations. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis involving randomized controlled trials from PubMed, Embase, Scopus, WOS, and Cochrane until 28th May 2022. We pooled dichotomous outcomes using risk ratio (RR) presented with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and continuous outcomes using mean difference (MD) with 95% CI. We registered our protocol in PROSPERO with ID: CRD42022336046. RESULTS We included five RCTs with 964 patients. All the included trials showed high risk of performance and detection biases because of lack of blinding. Pooled analysis favored perioperative meloxicam in reducing pain score after six hours (MD: -0.42 with 95% CI [-0.63, -0.21], p = .0001), 12 h (MD: -0.54 with 95% CI [-0.69, -0.39], p = .00001), and 24 h (MD: -0.23 with 95% CI [-0.36, -0.10]. Pooled analysis favored perioperative meloxicam in improving patient global assessment scale after 12 h (MD: -0.66 with 95% CI [-0.86, -0.46], p = .00001), 24 h (MD: -0.30 with 95% CI [-0.49, -0.11, p = .002), and 48 h (MD: -0.17 with 95% CI [-0.33, -0.01], p = .04). Pooled analysis favored perioperative meloxicam in reducing patient-controlled analgesia (MD: -4.25 with 95% CI [-5.96, -2.54], p = .00001). CONCLUSION Short-term pain management after orthopaedic procedures is better accomplished with perioperative meloxicam than postoperative meloxicam. Before recommending perioperative meloxicam for pain control following orthopaedic surgeries, further multicentre trials are still warranted to examine the impact of perioperative meloxicam in different orthopaedic procedures.

Abstract
Cells within a tumor microenvironment (TME) dynamically communicate and influence each other's cellular states through an intercellular communication network (ICN). In cancers, intercellular communications underlie immune evasion mechanisms of individual tumors. We developed an individualized causal analysis framework for discovering tumor specific ICNs. Using head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tumors as a testbed, we first mined single-cell RNA-sequencing data to discover gene expression modules (GEMs) that reflect the states of transcriptomic processes within tumor and stromal single cells. By deconvoluting bulk transcriptomes of HNSCC tumors profiled by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we estimated the activation states of these transcriptomic processes in individual tumors. Finally, we applied individualized causal network learning to discover an ICN within each tumor. Our results show that cellular states of cells in TMEs are coordinated through ICNs that enable multi-way communications among epithelial, fibroblast, endothelial, and immune cells. Further analyses of individual ICNs revealed structural patterns that were shared across subsets of tumors, leading to the discovery of 4 different subtypes of networks that underlie disparate TMEs of HNSCC. Patients with distinct TMEs exhibited significantly different clinical outcomes. Our results show that the capability of estimating individual ICNs reveals heterogeneity of ICNs and sheds light on the importance of intercellular communication in impacting disease development and progression.

Abstract
Nine hundred and seventy million individuals across the globe are estimated to carry the burden of a mental disorder. Limited progress has been achieved in alleviating this burden over decades of effort, compared to progress achieved for many other medical disorders. Progress on outcome improvement for all medical disorders, including mental disorders, requires research capable of discovering causality at sufficient scale and speed, and a diagnostic nosology capable of encoding the causal knowledge that is discovered. Accordingly, the field's guiding paradigm limits progress by maintaining: (a) a diagnostic nosology (DSM-5) with a profound lack of causality; (b) a misalignment between mental health etiologic research and nosology; (c) an over-reliance on clinical trials beyond their capabilities; and (d) a limited adoption of newer methods capable of discovering the complex etiology of mental disorders. We detail feasible directions forward, to achieve greater levels of progress on improving outcomes for mental disorders, by: (a) the discovery of knowledge on the complex etiology of mental disorders with application of Causal Data Science methods; and (b) the encoding of the etiological knowledge that is discovered within a causal diagnostic system for mental disorders.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of joints commonly occurring in the elderly and middleaged people. This study aimed to investigate the effect of recombinant human endostatin (rhEndo) on OA and the levels of MMP-13, IL-1 and IL-6 in the synovial fluid in osteoarthritis
rats. OA models were made by injecting 4% papain into the knee joint cavity of rats once every three days for three times. The models were then injected subcutaneously with rhEndo and examined six weeks later for the Mankin scores and levels of MMP-13, IL-1 and IL-6 using ELISA. Compared with
control, the Mankin score as well as the levels of IL-1, IL-6 and MMP-13 were significantly increased in the models (0.30 vs. 5.80, 1.12 vs. 12.84 pg/ mL, 12.22 vs. 43.82 pg/ mL and 0.23 vs. 26.31 ng/ mL). Following treatment with 4 mg/kg rhEndo, the Mankin score in model decreased to 0.90,
meanwhile, the levels of IL-1, IL-6 and MMP-13 decreased significantly to 0.79 pg/ mL, 2.89 pg/mL and 1.17 ng/mL, respectively, in a dose dependent manner. Therefore, rhEndo can alleviate osteoarthritis by reducing MMP-13, IL-1 and IL-6 expression in rats.

Abstract
PURPOSE Interleukin-1 is the main proinflammatory cytokine in osteoarthritis (OA). Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the IL-1 gene cluster (IL-1β, IL-1R1, and IL-1RN) have been determined, but their associations with knee OA remain poorly understood. The present study aimed to identify the associations between IL-1 SNPs and knee osteoarthritis. METHODS This meta-analysis and systematic review included all comparative studies published in the MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library databases. We performed a systematic search to identify relevant studies on the evaluation of the correlation between the IL-1 gene and knee OA published up to February 2020 that met the eligibility criteria. Nine studies on a total of 2256 knees with OA and 3527 healthy knees met the eligibility criteria. Results associated with IL-1A, IL-1B, IL-1R1, and IL-1RN SNPs were extracted and compared between knees with OA and healthy knees. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). All studies with fair or good quality were included. RESULTS The meta-analysis showed that the risk of knee OA is decreased by the IL-1RN*1 and IL-1RN*1/*1 genotypes and increased by the IL-1RN*2 and I-L1RN*1/*2 genotypes. The systematic review revealed only two studies associating the IL-1RN allele, none associating the IL-1B polymorphism, and only one study associating IL-1A and IL-1R1 polymorphisms with knee OA. CONCLUSIONS Several IL-1RN alleles and genotypes play a role in knee OA but other genetic variations in the IL-1 region were still conflicting in its association with knee OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Biomarkers in osteoarthritis (OA) could serve as objective clinical indicators for various disease parameters, and act as surrogate endpoints in clinical trials for disease-modifying drugs. The aim of this systematic review was to produce a comprehensive list of candidate molecular biomarkers for knee OA after the 2013 ESCEO review and discern whether any have been studied in sufficient detail for use in clinical settings. DESIGN MEDLINE and Embase databases were searched between August 2013 and May 2018 using the keywords "knee osteoarthritis," "osteoarthritis," and "biomarker." Studies were screened by title, abstract, and full text. Human studies on knee OA that were published in the English language were included. Excluded were studies on genetic/imaging/cellular markers, studies on participants with secondary OA, and publications that were review/abstract-only. Study quality and bias were assessed. Statistically significant data regarding the relationship between a biomarker and a disease parameter were extracted. RESULTS A total of 80 studies were included in the final review and 89 statistically significant individual molecular biomarkers were identified. C-telopeptide of type II collagen (CTXII) was shown to predict progression of knee OA in urine and serum in multiple studies. Synovial fluid vascular endothelial growth factor concentration was reported by 2 studies to be predictive of knee OA progression. CONCLUSION Despite the clear need for biomarkers of OA, the lack of coordination in current research has led to incompatible results. As such, there is yet to be a suitable biomarker to be used in a clinical setting.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-1Ra, IL-36, and IL-38 levels together with hs-CRP levels in patients with different radiographic grades of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in comparison to healthy individuals. Consecutive patients aged over 50 years who were admitted to our Orthopaedics and Traumatology department between November 2018 and March 2019 and diagnosed as knee OA according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria were included in this prospective case-control study. Patients with knee OA were staged according to radiographic Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) classification and 20 patients were assigned to each group. An age and gender matched control group consisted healthy volunteers with no clinical and radiographic sign of arthritis were conducted as the control group. Venous blood samples were collected and assessed for hs-CRP, IL-1β, IL-1Ra, IL-36, and IL-38 levels using the double-antibody sandwich ELISA method. The hs-CRP, IL-1β, IL-36 and IL-38 levels did not significantly differ among controls and independent radiographic stage groups except IL-1Ra levels which was significantly higher in K-L grade 4 knee OA groups compared to healthy controls (P = 0.045). When we compared all patients with knee OA and healthy controls, we detected that IL-1 and IL-1Ra were significantly lower and IL-38 levels were significantly higher in healthy control group compared to patients with knee OA (P = <0.001, <0.001, and 0.019, respectively). According to results obtained from our study, IL-1β, IL-1Ra, and IL-38 levels significantly differed between healthy individuals and patients with knee OA. However, we did not observe a significant difference and correlation between radiographic grade of knee OA and interleukin levels.

Abstract
In recent years, markers research has focused on the structural components of cartilage matrix. Specifically, a second generation of degradation markers has been developed against type II collagen neoepitopes generated by specific enzymes. A particular effort has been made to measure the degradation of minor collagens III and X of the cartilage matrix. However, because clinical data, including longitudinal controlled studies, are very scarce, it remains unclear whether they will be useful as an alternative to or in combination with current more established collagen biological markers to assess patients with osteoarthritis (OA). In addition, new approaches using high-throughput technologies allowed to detect new types of markers and improve the knowledge about the metabolic changes linked to OA. The relative advances coming from phenotype research are a first attempt to classify the heterogeneity of OA, and several markers could improve the phenotype characterization. These phenotypes could improve the selection of patients in clinical trials limiting the size of the studies by selecting patients with OA characteristics corresponding to the metabolic pathway targeted by the molecules evaluated. In addition, the inclusion of rapid progressors only in clinical trials would facilitate the demonstration of efficacy of the investigative drug to reduce joint degradation. The combination of selective biochemical markers appears as a promising and cost-effective approach to fulfill this unmet clinical need. Among the various potential roles of biomarkers in OA, their ability to monitor drug efficacy is probably one of the most important, in association with clinical and imaging parameters. Biochemical markers have the unique property to detect changes in joint tissue metabolism within a few weeks.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common form of joint degeneration with increasing prevalence and incidence in recent decades. KOA is a molecular disorder characterized by the interplay of numerous molecules, a considerable number of which can be detected in body fluids, including synovial fluid, urine, and blood. However, the current diagnosis and treatment of KOA mainly rely on clinical and imaging manifestations, neglecting its molecular pathophysiology. The mismatch between participants' molecular characteristics and drug therapeutic mechanisms might explain the failure of some disease-modifying drugs in clinical trials. Hence, according to the temporal alteration of representative molecules, we propose a novel molecular classification of KOA divided into pre-KOA, early KOA, progressive KOA, and end-stage KOA. Then, progressive KOA is furtherly divided into four subtypes as cartilage degradation-driven, bone remodeling-driven, inflammation-driven, and pain-driven subtype, based on the major pathophysiology in patient clusters. Multiple clinical findings of representatively investigated molecules in recent years will be reviewed and categorized. This molecular classification allows for the prediction of high-risk KOA individuals, the diagnosis of early KOA patients, the assessment of therapeutic efficacy, and in particular, the selection of homogenous patients who may benefit most from the appropriate therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a common cause of disability worldwide. Although commonly referred to as a disease of the joint cartilage, osteoarthritis affects all joint tissues equally. The pathogenesis of this degenerative process is not completely understood; however, a low-grade inflammation leading to an imbalance between anabolic and katabolic processes is a well-established factor. The complex network of cytokines regulating these processes and cell communication has a central role in the development and progression of osteoarthritis. Concentrations of both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines were found to be altered depending on the osteoarthritis stage and activity. In this review, we analyzed individual cytokines involved in the immune processes with an emphasis on their function in osteoarthritis.

Abstract
CONTEXT Type 2 diabetes is associated with a greater risk for musculoskeletal disorders, yet its impact on joint function remains unclear. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that patients with type 2 diabetes and osteoarthritis would exhibit musculoskeletal impairment, which would associate with insulin resistance and distinct microRNA profiles. METHODS Participants of the German Diabetes Study with type 2 diabetes (T2D, n = 39) or normal glucose tolerance (CON, n = 27), both with (+OA) or without osteoarthritis (-OA) underwent intravenous glucose tolerance and hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp tests. Musculoskeletal function was assessed by isometric knee extension strength (KES), grip strength, range of motion (ROM), and balance skills, while neural function was measured by nerve conductance velocity (NCV). Arthritis-related symptoms were quantified using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire, serum arthritis-related microRNA using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Insulin sensitivity was lower in T2D+OA vs T2D-OA (4.4 ± 2.0 vs 5.7 ± 3.0 mg* kg-1*min-1) and in CON+OA vs CON-OA (8.1 ± 2.0 vs 12.0 ± 2.6 mg*kg-1,*min-1, both P < .05). In T2D+OA, KES and ROM were 60% and 22% lower than in CON+OA, respectively (both P < .05). Insulin sensitivity correlated positively with KES (r = 0.41, P < .05) among T2D, and negatively with symptom severity in CON and T2D (r = -0.60 and r = -0.46, respectively, P < .05). CON+OA and T2D+OA had inferior balance skills than CON-OA, whereas NCV was comparable in T2D+OA and T2D-OA. Expression of arthritis-related microRNAs was upregulated in T2D compared to CON, but downregulated in CON+OA compared to CON-OA (P < .05), and did not differ between T2D+OA and T2D-OA. CONCLUSION Musculoskeletal impairment and osteoarthritis-related symptoms are associated with insulin resistance. Type 2 diabetes can mask changes in arthritis-related microRNA profiles.

Serum C-reactive protein metabolite (CRPM) is associated with incidence of contralateral knee osteoarthritis. Sci Rep 2021; 11:6583.

Abstract
The heterogeneous nature of osteoarthritis (OA) and the need to subtype patients is widely accepted in the field. The biomarker CRPM, a metabolite of C-reactive protein (CRP), is released to the circulation during inflammation. Blood CRPM levels have shown to be associated with disease activity and response to treatment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We investigated the level of blood CRPM in OA compared to RA using data from two phase III knee OA and two RA studies (N = 1591). Moreover, the association between CRPM levels and radiographic progression was investigated. The mean CRPM levels were significantly lower in OA (8.5 [95% CI 8.3–8.8] ng/mL, n = 781) compared to the RA patients (12.8 [9.5–16.0] ng/mL, n = 60); however, a significant subset of OA patients (31%) had CRPM levels (≥ 9 ng/mL) comparable to RA. Furthermore, OA patients (n = 152) with CRPM levels ≥ 9 ng/mL were more likely to develop contra-lateral knee OA assessed by X-ray over a two-year follow-up period with an odds ratio of 2.2 [1.0–4.7]. These data suggest that CRPM is a blood-based biochemical marker for early identification OA patients with an inflammatory phenotype.

With the redefinition of osteoarthritis (OA) and the understanding that the joint behaves as an organ, OA is now considered a systemic illness with a low grade of chronic inflammation. Mitochondrial dysfunction is well documented in OA and has the capacity to alter chondrocyte and synoviocyte function. Transmitochondrial cybrids are suggested as a useful cellular model to study mitochondrial biology in vitro, as they carry different mitochondrial variants with the same nuclear background. The aim of this work was to study mitochondrial and metabolic function of cybrids with mitochondrial DNA from healthy (N) and OA donors. In this work, the authors demonstrate that cybrids from OA patients behave differently from cybrids from N donors in several mitochondrial parameters. Furthermore, OA cybrids behave similarly to OA chondrocytes. These results enhance our understanding of the role of mitochondria in the degeneration process of OA and present cybrids as a useful model to study OA pathogenesis.

A low cartilage formation and repair endotype predicts radiographic progression of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. J Orthop Traumatol 2021; 22:10.

Abstract
Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease with multiple endotypes. A hallmark of OA is loss of cartilage; however, it is evident that the rate of cartilage loss differs among patients, which may partly be attributed to differential capacity for cartilage repair. We hypothesize that a low cartilage repair endotype exists and that such endotypes are more likely to progress radiographically. The aim of this study is to examine the associations of level of cartilage formation with OA severity and radiographic OA progression. We used the blood-based marker PRO-C2, reflecting type II collagen formation, to assess levels of cartilage formation. Materials and methods The type II collagen propeptide PRO-C2 was measured in the serum/plasma of knee OA subjects from New York University (NYU, n = 106) and a subcohort of the phase III oral salmon calcitonin (sCT) trial SMC021-2301 (SMC, n = 147). Risk of radiographic medial joint space narrowing (JSN) over 24 months was compared between quartiles (very low, low, moderate, and high) of PRO-C2. Associations were adjusted for age, gender, BMI, race, baseline pain levels, and baseline joint space width. Results In both the NYU and SMC cohorts, subjects with low PRO-C2 levels had greater JSN compared with subjects with high PRO-C2. Mean difference in JSN between subjects with very low and high levels of PRO-C2 was 0.65 mm (p = 0.002), corresponding to a 3.4 (1.4–8.6)-fold higher risk of progression. There was no significant effect of sCT treatment, compared with placebo, on JSN over 2 years before stratification based on baseline PRO-C2. However, there were proportionately fewer progressors in the sCT arm of the very low/low PRO-C2 group compared with the moderate/high group (Chi squared = 6.5, p = 0.011). Conclusion Serum/plasma level of type II collagen formation, PRO-C2, may be an objective indicator of a low cartilage repair endotype, displaying radiographic progression and superior response to a proanabolic drug. Level of evidence Level III post hoc exploratory analysis of one longitudinal cohort and a sub-study from one phase III clinical trial.

Shoulder injections with autologous conditioned serum reduce pain and disability in glenohumeral osteoarthritis: longitudinal observational study. ANZ J Surg 2021; 91:673-679. [PMID: 33609074 DOI: 10.1111/ans.16672] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2020] [Revised: 11/22/2020] [Accepted: 01/30/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, non-surgical treatments for glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GH-OA) mainly aim to reduce pain. Autologous conditioned serum (ACS), Orthokine, an interleukin-1 inhibitor from the patient's own blood has an anti-inflammatory effect. The objective was to determine whether intra-articular injections of this ACS improved symptoms in patients with GH-OA and delayed the need for a shoulder replacement. METHODS A total of 36 consecutive patients, 40 shoulders, with OA received up to 6-weekly intra-articular injections of ACS were included. Imaging of GH-OA, range of motion, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain, Shoulder Pain And Disability Index (SPADI), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons and Constant scores were assessed pre-injection and post treatment at 3 months. At a minimum of 2 years, VAS and SPADI scores and whether anyone had progressed to a shoulder replacement were recorded. RESULTS Outcomes 3 months post-ACS injections demonstrated on average statistically significant improvement (P < 0.05) of all measurements: SPADI (54.3 ± 21.5 vs 43.7 ± 23.7), Constant score (50.5 ± 14.1 vs 57.1 ± 17.4), VAS pain (4.8 ± 2.2 vs 3.7 ± 2.4) and range of motion. Of these, 16 shoulders progressed to a shoulder replacement, nine cases quickly (0.6 ± 0.2 years) and seven cases were delayed by 3.1 ± 1.7 years. The other 18 cases had significant improvement in pain, SPADI (58.0 ± 19.6 to 31.8 ± 21.4; P < 0.01) scores and no progression to a shoulder replacement at 3.6 ± 1.0 years follow-up. There was no correlation of glenoid Walch score or joint space with clinical outcome parameters. CONCLUSION ACS injections in the shoulder joint for OA can reduce pain and disability, and postpone the need for a shoulder replacement.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive disease and OA pain intensity is related to ongoing pathophysiological changes. However, OA pain is complex and multimodal; its characteristics, including severity, localization and the stimuli that elicit it, can change as the disease progresses and differ greatly among patients. Understanding mechanisms underlying specific pain characteristics may help guide clinicians in choosing appropriate treatments, targeting treatments to those patients most likely to benefit. Associations have been demonstrated between biomarkers and some characteristics of OA pain, and to processes linked to the shift in pain characteristics over the course of OA. This article examines how understanding OA pain characteristics and their relation to the disease process could inform treatment choice when applying well-established treatment guidelines.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the association between biomarkers of innate immunity and the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of earlier and later stages of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods: From 139 and 20 participants with earlier and later stages of KOA, respectively, we analyzed knee MRIs scored using the Boston Leeds Osteoarthritis Knee Score (BLOKS) at recruitment with biomarkers. In paired serum (s) and synovial fluid (sf), we quantified three biomarkers related to innate immunity: lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), CD14 and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and three proinflammatory biomarkers [interleukin-6 (IL6), IL8, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα)]. Results: In participants with earlier KOA, (s) LBP was statistically significantly associated with meniscal extrusion, and (sf) CD14 was associated with effusion after adjustment with age, sex, and body mass index. In participants with later stage of KOA, (sf) LBP was associated with effusion. (sf) CD14 was associated with cartilage loss and BML. In earlier stage of KOA, the proinflammatory biomarkers IL6, IL8, and TNFα were associated with most MRI features. Conclusion: Innate immunity biomarkers (s) LBP was associated with MRI meniscal extrusion; (sf) CD14 was associated with MRI synovial inflammation in earlier stage and BMLs in later stage of KOA. Associations between proinflammatory biomarkers and various MRI features in earlier stage of KOA were observed.

The combination of an inflammatory peripheral blood gene expression and imaging biomarkers enhance prediction of radiographic progression in knee osteoarthritis. Arthritis Res Ther 2020; 22:208. [PMID: 32912331 PMCID: PMC7488029 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-020-02298-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2020] [Accepted: 08/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Predictive biomarkers of progression in knee osteoarthritis are sought to enable clinical trials of structure-modifying drugs. A peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) inflammatory gene signature, MRI-based bone marrow lesions (BML) and meniscus extrusion scores, meniscal lesions, and osteophytes on X-ray each have been shown separately to predict radiographic joint space narrowing (JSN) in subjects with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (SKOA). In these studies, we determined whether the combination of the PBL inflammatory gene expression and these imaging findings at baseline enhanced the prognostic value of either alone. METHODS PBL inflammatory gene expression (increased mRNA for IL-1β, TNFα, and COX-2), routine radiographs, and 3T knee MRI were assessed in two independent populations with SKOA: an NYU cohort and the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI). At baseline and 24 months, subjects underwent standardized fixed-flexion knee radiographs and knee MRI. Medial JSN (mJSN) was determined as the change in medial JSW. Progressors were defined by an mJSN cut-point (≥ 0.5 mm/24 months). Models were evaluated by odds ratios (OR) and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). RESULTS We validated our prior finding in these two independent (NYU and OAI) cohorts, individually and combined, that an inflammatory PBL inflammatory gene expression predicted radiographic progression of SKOA after adjustment for age, sex, and BMI. Similarly, the presence of baseline BML and meniscal lesions by MRI or semiquantitative osteophyte score on X-ray each predicted radiographic medial JSN at 24 months. The combination of the PBL inflammatory gene expression and medial BML increased the AUC from 0.66 (p = 0.004) to 0.75 (p < 0.0001) and the odds ratio from 6.31 to 19.10 (p < 0.0001) in the combined cohort of 473 subjects. The addition of osteophyte score to BML and PBL inflammatory gene expression further increased the predictive value of any single biomarker. A causal analysis demonstrated that the PBL inflammatory gene expression and BML independently influenced mJSN. CONCLUSION The use of the PBL inflammatory gene expression together with imaging biomarkers as combinatorial predictive biomarkers, markedly enhances the identification of radiographic progressors. The identification of the SKOA population at risk for progression will help in the future design of disease-modifying OA drug trials and personalized medicine strategies.

Intra-articular Administration of Allogeneic Adipose Derived MSCs Reduces Pain and Lameness in Dogs With Hip Osteoarthritis: A Double Blinded, Randomized, Placebo Controlled Pilot Study. Front Vet Sci 2020; 7:570.

Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the therapeutic effect of allogeneic adipose-derived MSCs on dogs with hip osteoarthritis (OA). Twenty dogs with bilateral osteoarthritis of the coxofemoral (hip) joint, diagnosed by a veterinarian through physical examination and radiographs were randomly allocated into four groups. Group 1 served as a placebo control and were injected with 0.9% sodium chloride (saline) (n = 4). Group 2 were injected with a single dose of 5 million MSCs (n = 5). Group 3 received a single dose of 25 million MSCs (n = 6) and Group 4 received a single dose of 50 million MSCs (n = 5). Intra-articular administration of allogeneic MSCs into multiple joints did not result in any serious adverse events. The average lameness score of the dogs in the placebo control group (−0.31) did not show improvement after 90 days of intra-articular saline administration. However, the average lameness score of the all MSC-treated dogs was improved 2.11 grade at this time point (P < 0.001). Overall, sixty five percent (65%) of the dogs that received various doses of MSCs showed improvement in lameness scores 90 days after intra-articular MSC administration. Our results showed that intra-articular administration of allogeneic adipose derived MSCs was well-tolerated and improved lameness scores and reduced pain in dogs associated with hip OA. All doses of MSCs were effective. Subsequent studies with more animals per group are needed to make a conclusion about the dose response. The improved lameness effect was present up to 90 days post-injection. Serum interleukin 10 was increased in a majority of the dogs that received MSCs and that also had improved lameness.

Abstract
Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) is an antagonist of IL-1β binding IL-1β receptors but does not induce intracellular responses or signal transduction. In this study, the full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) of the IL-1Ra gene (OaIL-1Ra) was identified from sheep (Ovis aries) using rapid amplification of cDNA ends PCR and submitted to GenBank with the accession number KC425613. The OaIL-1Ra cDNA comprised an open reading frame of 525 bp encoding a protein of 19765.8 Da, a 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of 27 bp, and a 3'-UTR of 676 bp with a poly(A) tail. Recombinant OaIL-1Ra with bioactivity was expressed in a prokaryotic expression system, and a monoclonal antibody against native OaIL-1Ra was prepared. Through Western blot analyses, the OaIL-1Ra protein was widely expressed in lung, heart, spleen, liver, kidney, muscle, intestine, lymphonodi, rumen, and white blood cells, with the highest levels in liver and spleen. The expression of OaIL-1Ra in primary cultured white blood cells of sheep were highly induced in a time-dependent manner when challenged with different bacteria. These results implied that OaIL-1Ra is associated with immune responses during bacterial infections.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In these studies, we examined the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the IL1RN gene with radiographic severity of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (SKOA) and the risk of incident OA. We also explored these genetic polymorphisms in patients with new onset rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS Over 1000 subjects who met American College of Rheumatology criteria for tibiofemoral OA were selected from three independent, National Institute of Health (NIH)-funded cohorts. CTA and TTG haplotypes formed from three SNPs of the IL1RN gene (rs419598, rs315952, rs9005) were assessed for association with radiographic severity, and risk for incident radiographic OA (rOA) in a nested case-control cohort. These IL1RN haplotypes were also assessed for association with disease activity (DAS28) and plasma inflammatory markers in patients with RA. RESULTS Carriage of the IL1RN TTG haplotype was associated with increased odds of more severe rOA compared with age-matched, sex-matched and body mass index-matched individuals. Examination of the osteoarthritis initiative Incidence Subcohort demonstrated that carriage of the TTG haplotype was associated with 4.1-fold (p=0.001) increased odds of incident rOA. Plasma IL-1Ra levels were lower in TTG carriers, while chondrocytes from TTG carriers exhibited decreased secretion of IL-1Ra. In patients with RA, the TTG haplotype was associated with increased DAS28, decreased plasma IL-1Ra and elevations of plasma inflammatory markers (hsCRP, interleukin 6 (IL-6)). CONCLUSION Carriage of the IL1RN TTG haplotype is associated with more severe rOA, increased risk for incident OA, and increased evidence of inflammation in RA. These data suggest that the IL1RN TTG risk haplotype, associated with decreased IL-1Ra plasma levels, impairs endogenous 'anti-inflammatory' mechanisms.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia is a common condition, and in a subset of patients leads to gout, the most common inflammatory arthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis overall, and gout and osteoarthritis frequently coexist in the same patient. However, the relationship between the two remains poorly defined. More particularly, the impact of osteoarthritis on the development of gout, and the impact of gout on the development of osteoarthritis, remain to be determined. Additionally, whether hyperuricemia mediates osteoarthritis in the absence of gout is uncertain. Here, we review the evidence linking gout and osteoarthritis, with a special focus on the role of hyperuricemia in the presence or absence of gout. Since disease modifying agents are currently available for hyperuricemia and gout but not for osteoarthritis, a contributory role for urate in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis could have important clinical implications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To examine whether periodontitis is associated with the presence and severity of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS Using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2010 and 2013, participants over the age of 50 were included in this study. Dental examinations and knee radiographs are performed in participants aged ≥50 years in this cohort. Periodontitis was defined using the community periodontal index, which was determined by measuring periodontal probing depth. The definition of radiographic knee OA was based on the Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grading system, which determined a K-L class ≥2 to be radiographic knee OA. The associations between periodontitis and presence and severity of radiographic knee OA were examined using logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Among 7969 total participants, 965 men and 2078 women had radiographic knee OA. Periodontitis was observed in 1,185 (39.4%) people among those who had radiographic knee OA. Periodontitis (adjusted odds radio [aOR] 1.21, 95% confidence interval 1.05 to 1.40) was associated with radiographic knee OA after adjusting for variables including age, sex, body mass index, socioeconomic status, diabetes, and dental status. Participants were more likely to have radiographic knee OA as the severity of periodontitis increased (non-severe periodontitis, aOR 1.14 [0.98 to 1.32]; severe periodontitis, aOR 1.47 [1.17 to 1.85]). Moreover, the presence of periodontitis significantly increased with an increasing K-L class (class 1, aOR 1.30 [1.09 to 1.54]; class 2, aOR 1.32 [1.08 to 1.60]; class 3, aOR 1.39 [1.14 to 1.70]; class 4, aOR 1.45 [1.11 to 1.90]). CONCLUSION Periodontitis is associated with the presence and severity of radiographic knee OA.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of very early preemptive meloxicam, early preemptive meloxicam, and postoperative meloxicam administration for postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery (AKS). Three hundred and six patients about to receive AKS were consecutively enrolled in this randomized, controlled study and randomly allocated into three groups: very early analgesia (VEA) group, early analgesia (EA) group, and postoperative analgesia (PA) group. Pain visual analog scale (VAS) score at rest and at flexion, patient global assessment (PGA) score, consumption of rescue pethidine, and adverse events (AEs) were assessed. Pain VAS score and severity at rest/flexion were all decreased in the VEA group compared with EA group and PA group at 4 h post-operation and were also reduced in the VEA and EA groups compared with the PA group at 8 h and 12 h post-operation. PGA score was lower in the VEA group compared with the EA group and PA group at 4 h post-operation, and was attenuated in the VEA group and the EA group compared with the PA group at 8 h, 12 h, and 24 h post-operation as well. Consumption of rescue pethidine was less in the VEA group than that in the PA group. In addition, no difference in the incidence of AEs was found among the VEA, EA, and PA groups. In conclusion, preemptive meloxicam is more effective in postoperative pain control and equally tolerated compared with postoperative meloxicam in patients receiving AKS.

Abstract
Background: To investigate the expression of vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) in joint tissues and serum in symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (SKOA) patients and examine whether VAP-1 levels predict increased risk of disease severity in a cross-sectional study. Methods: Baseline VAP-1 expression and soluble VAP-1 (sVAP-1) levels were assessed in the synovium synovial fluid and in the serum in cohorts of patients with tibiofemoral medial knee OA and healthy subjects. Standardized fixed-flexion poster anterior knee radiographs scored for Kellgren–Lawrence (KL) grade (0–4) and medial joint space width (JSW). KL1/2 vs. KL3/4 scores defined early and advanced radiographic severity, respectively. Biochemical markers assessed in serum or synovial fluids (SF) comprised sVAP-1, interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), interleukin 6 (IL-6), soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products (sRAGE), C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 (CCL4), cluster of differentiation 163 (CD163), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)-1,-3,-9. Associations between biomarkers and radiographic severity KL1/2 vs. KL3/4 (logistic regression controlling for covariates) and pain (Spearman correlation) were evaluated. Results: Elevated levels of sVAP-1 observed in OA synovial fluid and VAP-1 expression in synovium based on immunohistochemical, microarray, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses. However, serum sVAP-1 levels in OA patients were lower than in controls and inversely correlated with pain and inflammation markers (hsCRP and soluble RAGE). Soluble VAP-1 levels in serum were also lower in radiographically advanced (KL3/4) compared with early KL1/2 knee SKOA patients. Conclusion: Local (synovial fluid) semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO)/sVAP-1 levels were elevated in OA and correlated with radiographic severity. However, systemic (serum) sVAP-1 levels were lower in SKOA patients than normal and inversely correlated with pain and inflammation markers. Serum sVAP-1 levels were higher in early (KL1/2) compared with advanced (KL3/4) SKOA patients.

Abstract
This study investigated articular cartilage (AC) homeostasis and different signaling pathways involved in the superior cartilage regeneration of Murphy Roths large (MRL/MpJ) mice previously reported. We collected uninjured and destabilized medial meniscus (DMM)-injured knees from 8-wk-old C57BL/6J and MRL/MpJ mice. We used micro-computed tomography (microCT), histology, and immunohistochemistry to evaluate AC homeostasis and repair. We used the ear punch model to investigate the role of angiogenesis and inflammation in the superior healing of MRL/MpJ mice. We found fewer β-catenin and more pSMAD5 positive cells in the uninjured AC of MRL/MpJ mice than that from C57BL/6J mice. MRL/MpJ mice exhibited better AC repair in DMM-induced OA, as indicated by microCT results, Alcian blue, and Safranin O staining. Mechanistically, fewer β-catenin, pSMAD2-, pSMAD3-, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4-, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 9-, and MMP13-positive cells and more proliferating cell nuclear antigen- and pSMAD5-positive cells were found in the DMM-injured AC in MRL/MpJ mice than in normal mice. The accelerated ear wound healing of MRL/MpJ mice correlated with enhanced angiogenesis and macrophage polarization toward the M2a phenotype through elevated IL-10 and IL-4 expressing cells. Collectively, our study revealed that down-regulation of pSMAD2/3, β-catenin, and MMPs and up-regulation of pSMAD5 and M2a macrophage polarization contribute to the enhanced cartilage repair observed in MRL/MpJ mice.-Deng, Z., Gao, X., Sun, X., Amra, S., Lu, A., Cui, Y., Eltzschig, H.

Potential diagnostic value of a type X collagen neo-epitope biomarker for knee osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2019; 27:611-620. [PMID: 30654118 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2019.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2018] [Revised: 11/20/2018] [Accepted: 01/07/2019] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Phenotypic changes of chondrocytes toward hypertrophy might be fundamental in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA), of which type X collagen (Col10) is a well-known marker. The purpose was to develop a specific immunoassay for blood quantification of a newly identified neo-epitope of type Col10 to assess its diagnostic value for radiographic knee OA. METHODS A neo-epitope of Col10 was identified in urine samples from OA patients. A monoclonal antibody against the neo-epitope was produced in Balb/C mice. The enzyme responsible for the cleavage was identified. Immunohistochemical detection of this neo-epitope was performed on human OA cartilage. An immunoassay (Col10neo) was developed and quantified in two clinical studies: the C4Pain-003 and the NYU OA progression study. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) curve analysis was carried out to evaluate the discriminative power of Col10neo between OA and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RESULTS A neo-epitope specific mAb was produced. The Cathepsin K-generated neo-epitope was localized to the pericellular matrix of chondrocytes, while its presence was extended and more prominent in superficial fibrillation in the cartilage with advanced degradation. In the C4Pain study, a higher level of Col10neo was seen in subjects with greater KL grade. The group of the highest tertile of Col10neo included more subjects with KL3-4. In the NYU study, Col10neo was statistically higher in OA than control or RA. ROC curve analysis revealed area under the curve was 0.88 (95% CI 0.81-0.94). CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that Col10neo linked to hypertrophic chondrocytes could be used as a diagnostic biochemical marker for knee OA.

Muscular-based and patient-reported outcomes differentially associate with circulating superoxide dismutases and cytokines in knee osteoarthritis. Cytokine 2019; 115:45-49.

Abstract
Muscular (i.e., quadriceps) weakness contributes to disease progression and precedes the appearance of patient-reported symptoms, such as pain and perceived physical dysfunction, in knee osteoarthritis (OA). It is unknown, however, if muscular-based and patient-reported outcomes differentially associate with systemic biomarkers reflective of the local mediators in knee OA. The purpose of this study was to identify if muscular-based and patient-reported outcomes differentially associate with circulating superoxide dismutase (SOD) and cytokines in knee OA. Subjects (n = 29) with pain, muscular weakness, and radiographic evidence (Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥2) of knee OA in the involved (INV) leg were included in this study. Serum Cu/Zn and Mn SOD and cytokine concentrations were measured in fasting blood samples. Pain and physical dysfunction were subjectively assessed and muscle strength (i.e., peak isometric force and torque, and peak isokinetic-concentric knee-extension and -flexion torques) was determined unilaterally in the INV and non-involved (NI) legs. Peak isometric and peak isokinetic-concentric knee-flexion torques in the INV leg correlated with serum Cu/Zn SOD (both p < 0.05). Peak isometric force and torque and peak isokinetic-concentric knee-extension and -flexion torques in the INV leg correlated with serum Mn SOD (all p < 0.05). Pain and dysfunction inversely associated with serum IL-1β, IL-4, IL-5, IL-12, IL-13, and/or IFN-γ (p < 0.05). Neither SOD associated with pain or dysfunction, and none of the cytokines associated with muscular-based outcomes. We conclude that common outcome measures used in the clinical evaluation of OA differentially associate with circulating SOD and cytokines.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) can be regarded as a chronic, painful and degenerative disease that affects all tissues of a joint and one of the major endpoints being loss of articular cartilage. In most cases, OA is associated with a variable degree of synovial inflammation. A variety of different cell types including chondrocytes, synovial fibroblasts, adipocytes, osteoblasts and osteoclasts as well as stem and immune cells are involved in catabolic and inflammatory processes but also in attempts to counteract the cartilage loss. At the molecular level, these changes are regulated by a complex network of proteolytic enzymes, chemokines and cytokines (for review: [1]). Here, interleukin-1 signaling (IL-1) plays a central role and its effects on the different cell types involved in OA are discussed in this review with a special focus on the chondrocyte.

Abstract
Resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound, is a powerful antioxidant with remarkable anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation and pain plays an important role in the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis (OA) and could cause tissue damage and morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and pain reduction activities of orally administered resveratrol in patients with knee OA. We carried out a 90-day pilot study to evaluate the ability of orally administered resveratrol, as an adjuvant with meloxicam, to decrease knee joint pain and biomarkers of inflammation in comparison with a placebo. One hundred ten men and women (45-75 years old) diagnosed with mild to moderate knee OA were treated with 15 mg per day meloxicam and either 500 mg per day resveratrol or placebo for 90 days in a double-blind, randomized control trial. Pain severity was evaluated at the beginning and at the end of treatment using Visual Analogue Scale-100 scores. Fasting blood was collected to determine serum interleukins 1β and 6, tumor necrosis factor-α, C-reactive protein, and complement proteins C3 and C4. The resveratrol-treated group experienced a time-dependent significant decrease in pain severity (P < .001). Serum levels of the biochemical markers were significantly reduced compared with the placebo-treated group (P < .01). These findings suggest that resveratrol may be an effective "add-on" option with meloxicam in the treatment of patients with mild to moderate knee OA.

Abstract
Background Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective procedure for late-stage osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee; however, up to 20% of patients remain dissatisfied. In some patients, this may be due to residual inflammation of the synovium. Our aim was to perform the first randomised controlled trial (RCT) of synovectomy during TKA for patients with macroscopically inflamed synovium. The main objectives were to assess recruitment rates, protocol adherence and outcomes relating to safety such as haemoglobin decrease and adverse events. We also collected data on patient-reported outcomes. Methods We performed a single-centre pilot RCT. Patients with a macroscopically inflamed synovium were randomised to receive synovectomy versus a control group that did not undergo synovectomy. We determined feasibility by measuring patient enrolment, completeness of follow-up, and safety via haemoglobin decrease and documentation of adverse events. Results We screened 360 patients with 260 deemed ineligible or could not be recruited. From the 100 eligible patients, 54 were enrolled and 40 progressed through to randomisation. All made it to the 12-month follow-up, indicating good protocol adherence. There were no major differences in adverse events or haemoglobin decrease demonstrating acceptable safety. Outcomes relating to satisfaction were reliably obtained. Conclusions Patients with macroscopically inflamed synovium of the knee who are due to undergo TKA can be reliably recruited to a randomised trial and synovectomy can be performed safely. A large number is needed to be screened to identify eligible participants, and therefore, a multi-centre trial would be required to assess whether routine synovectomy would improve outcomes in these patients.

Abstract
Abstract
The main pathological change in post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is cartilage degeneration, which is closely related to inflammation and oxidative stress. Inflammation can cause degeneration of articular cartilage. Cartilage degeneration can also stimulate the progression of inflammation. It has been found that inflammatory cytokines can participate in the pathological process of cartilage degeneration through multiple signaling pathways, mainly mitogen-activated protein kinase, nuclear transcription factor kappa B, and Wnt–β-catenin signal transduction pathways. This review aimed at exploring the relationship between PTOA and inflammation-related cytokines by introducing the role of proinflammatory cytokines in chondrocyte destruction and extracellular matrix degradation.

Tranexamic acid is associated with selective increase in inflammatory markers following total knee arthroplasty (TKA): a pilot study. J Orthop Surg Res 2018; 13:149. [PMID: 29914535 PMCID: PMC6006687 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-018-0855-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2018] [Accepted: 06/05/2018] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tranexamic acid (TXA) is commonly used in orthopedic surgery to reduce excessive bleeding and transfusion requirements. Our aim was to examine if TXA was required in all osteoarthritis patients undergoing TKA surgery, and its possible effects on systemic inflammation and coagulation properties. METHODS Twenty-three patients (Oxford Score 22-29) were recruited consecutively; 12 patients received TXA before (IV, 1.2 g/90 kg) and immediately after surgery (intra-articular, 1.4 g/90 kg). Inflammatory mediators and ROTEM parameters were measured in blood at baseline, after the first bone-cut, immediately after surgery, and postoperative days 1 and 2. RESULTS After the bone cut and surgery, TXA significantly increased MCP-1, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 levels compared to non-TXA patients, which was further amplified postoperatively. During surgery, TXA significantly prolonged EXTEM clot times, indicating a thrombin-slowing effect, despite little or no change in clot amplitude or fibrinogen. TXA was associated with three- to fivefold increases in FIBTEM maximum lysis (ML), a finding counter to TXA's antifibrinolytic effect. Maximum lysis for extrinsic and intrinsic pathways was < 8%, indicating little or no hyperfibrinolysis. No significant differences were found in postoperative hemoglobin between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS TXA was associated with increased systemic inflammation during surgery compared to non-TXA patients, with further amplification on postoperative days 1 and 2. On the basis of little or no change in viscoelastic clot strength, fibrinogen or clot lysis, there appeared to be no clinical justification for TXA in our group of patients. Larger prospective, randomized trials are required to investigate a possible proinflammatory effect in TKA patients.

Revisiting the Role of Interleukin-1 Pathway in Osteoarthritis: Interleukin-1α and -1β, and NLRP3 Inflammasome Are Not Involved in the Pathological Features of the Murine Menisectomy Model of Osteoarthritis. Front Pharmacol 2017; 8:282. [PMID: 28659793 PMCID: PMC5468399 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2017.00282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 64] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2017] [Accepted: 05/04/2017] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Innate immune response components such as toll-like receptors (TLRs) and NLRP3-inflammasome act in concert to increase IL-1α/β secretion by synovial macrophages. Previous results suggest that IL-1α/β could be an important mediator involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate the role of NLRP3, IL-1β, and IL-1α in the menisectomy (MNX) model of murine OA. Methods: Murine chondrocytes (CHs) and bone marrow-derived machrophages (BMDM) were stimulated with hydroxyapatite (HA) crystals, a form of calcium-containing crystal found in human OA, and IL-1β and IL-6 secretion assayed by ELISA.Conversely, the ability of IL-1β and IL-6 to induce CHs calcification was assessed in vitro by Alizarin red staining. Knees from 8 to 10 weeks old C57Bl/6J wild-type (WT) (n = 7), NLRP3-/- (n = 9), IL-1α-/- (n = 5), and IL-1β-/- (n = 5) mice were menisectomized, using the sham-operated contralateral knee as control. 8 weeks later, knee cartilage degradation and synovial inflammation were evaluated by histology. In addition, apoptotic chondrocytes, metalloproteases activity, and collagen-type 2 expression were evaluated in all mice. Joint calcification and subchondral bone parameters were quantified by CT-scan in WT and IL-1β-/- menisectomized knees. Results:In vitro, HA crystals induced significant increased IL-6 secretion by CHs, while IL-1β remained undetectable.Conversely, both IL-6 and IL-1β were able to increase chondrocytes mineralization. In vivo, operated knees exhibited OA features compared to sham-operated knees as evidenced by increased cartilage degradation and synovial inflammation. In menisectomized KO mice, severity and extent of cartilage lesions were similar (IL-1α-/- mice) or exacerbated (IL-1β-/- and NLRP3-/- mice) compared to that of menisectomized WT mice. Metalloproteases activity, collagen-type 2 expression, chondrocytes apoptosis, and synovial inflammation were similar between KO and WT mice menisectomized knees. Moreover, the extent of joint calcification in osteoarthritic knees was comparable between IL-1β-/- and WT mice. Conclusions: MNX knees recapitulated features of OA, i.e, cartilage destruction, synovial inflammation, cell death, and joint calcification. Deficiency of IL-1α did not impact on the severity of these features, whereas deficiency of IL-1β or of NLRP3 led to increased cartilage erosion. Our results suggest that IL-1α and IL-1β are not key mediators in this murine OA model and may explain the inefficiency of IL-1 targeted therapies in OA.

Serum Urate Levels Predict Joint Space Narrowing in Non-Gout Patients With Medial Knee Osteoarthritis. Arthritis Rheumatol 2017; 69:1213-1220.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) includes both mechanical and inflammatory features. Studies have implicated synovial fluid uric acid (UA) as a potential OA biomarker, possibly reflecting chondrocyte damage. Whether serum UA levels reflect/contribute to OA is unknown. We investigated whether serum UA levels predict OA progression in a non-gout knee OA population. METHODS Eighty-eight patients with medial knee OA (body mass index [BMI] <33 kg/m2 ) but without gout were studied. Baseline serum UA levels were measured in previously banked serum samples. At 0 and 24 months, patients underwent standardized weight-bearing fixed-flexion posteroanterior knee radiography to determine joint space width (JSW) and Kellgren/Lawrence grades. Joint space narrowing (JSN) was calculated as the change in JSW from 0 to 24 months. Twenty-seven patients underwent baseline contrast-enhanced 3T knee magnetic resonance imaging for assessment of synovial volume. RESULTS Serum UA levels correlated with JSN values in both univariate (r = 0.40, P < 0.01) and multivariate (r = 0.28, P = 0.01) analyses. There was a significant difference in mean JSN after dichotomization at a serum UA cut point of 6.8 mg/dl, the solubility point for serum urate, even after adjustment (JSN of 0.90 mm for a serum UA ≥6.8 mg/dl and 0.31 mm for a serum UA <6.8 mg/dl; P < 0.01). Baseline serum UA levels distinguished progressors (JSN >0.2 mm) and fast progressors (JSN >0.5 mm) from nonprogressors (JSN ≤0.0 mm) in multivariate analyses (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.63 [P = 0.03] and 0.62 [P = 0.05], respectively). Serum UA levels correlated with the synovial volume (r = 0.44, P < 0.01), a possible marker of JSN, although this correlation did not persist after controlling for age, sex, and BMI (r = 0.13, P = 0.56). CONCLUSION In non-gout patients with knee OA, the serum UA level predicted future JSN and may serve as a biomarker for OA progression.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of the joints and is one of the leading causes of disability in adults. However, there are no key therapeutics for OA and medical treatment is based on managing the symptoms and slowing down progression of the disease. Diagnostics based on clinical examination and radiography have provided little information about metabolic changes in joint tissues, disease onset and progression. Due to lack of effective methods for early detection and evaluation of treatment outcome, the measurement of biochemical markers (biomarkers) shows promise as a prospective method aiding in disease monitoring. OA biomarkers that are present in biological fluids such as blood, urine and synovial fluid, sources that are easily isolated from body, are of particular interest. Moreover, there are increasingly more studies identifying and developing new biomarkers for OA. In this review, efforts have been made to summarize the biomarkers that have been reported in recent studies on patients. We also tried to classify biomarkers according to tissue metabolism (bone, cartilage and synovial metabolism markers), pathological pathways (inflammatory and genetic markers) and biological function (chemokines, growth factors, acute phase proteins, etc.).

Interleukin-1 is not involved in synovial inflammation and cartilage destruction in collagenase-induced osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2017; 25:385-396. [PMID: 27654963 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2016.09.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2016] [Revised: 09/05/2016] [Accepted: 09/12/2016] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is an alleged important cytokine in osteoarthritis (OA), although the exact contribution of IL-1 to joint destruction remains unclear. Here we investigated the involvement of IL-1α and IL-1β in joint pathology during collagenase-induced OA (CiOA). METHODS CiOA was induced in wild type (WT) and IL-1αβ-/- mice. Additionally, IL-1 signaling was inhibited in WT mice with CiOA using osmotic pumps containing IL-1RA. Joint pathology was assessed using histology. Activity of cartilage-degrading enzymes was determined using antibodies against aggrecan neo-epitopes VDIPEN and NITEGE. Synovial gene expression was analyzed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Serum protein levels were measured with Luminex or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS Synovial IL-1β expression was strongly elevated 7 days after induction of CiOA in WT mice but decreased afterwards, whereas S100A8/A9, previously described to aggravate OA, remained elevated for 21 days. Remarkably, synovial inflammation was comparable between WT and IL-1αβ-/- mice on day 7 of CiOA. In line, synovial mRNA expression of genes involved in IL-1 signaling and inflammatory mediators was comparable between WT and IL-1αβ-/- mice, and serum levels for Keratinocyte Chemoattractant (KC)/IL-6/S100A8/S100A9/IL-10 were equal. Synovial matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)/aggrecanase expression and activity in cartilage was not different in WT and IL-1αβ-/- mice on day 7 of CiOA. Cartilage destruction on day 42 was not different between WT and IL-1αβ-/- mice, which was supported by our finding that IL-1RA treatment in WT mice with CiOA did not alter joint destruction. CONCLUSIONS IL-1α and IL-1β are not involved in synovial inflammation and cartilage destruction during CiOA, implicating that other mediators are responsible for the joint damage.
